Agenda (the City's wording)
The City's agenda for this meeting is on file (CC_Reg_Packet_10_08_2024), but its item list has not been read reliably by machine yet, so no outline is shown.
Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube, in a new tab.
189 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 10 voices separated from the audio.
23 short machine repair(s) (25 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs and whether a voice was detected where the words are. Not completed: language review.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 93.3% of 8,385 content words.
Dotted words (316 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
189 passages (21% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

So, so on this agreement, there are several things that have changed. One, the one big thing is really in favor of the city. I'll let the developer, the developer is Jeremy Mears, and I'll let him talk about the sort of the financial changes there. But again, that's also in favor of the ‸ city also.
so originally as this came to you all, remember this is, Allegra is ‸ an apartment complex that is providing 10% of the units will be for affordable housing. And I think actually a number of them are reserved for firefighters, policemen,
Mr. Mears agreed to actually donate or transfer to the city, uh, approximately, um, ‸ just going to round up 12 acres of land. When we originally proposed the deal, um, he wanted, um, he had some environmental, um, ‸ concerns. He had ‸ the meeting, so he wanted a conservation easement on the, uh, on the property that he was donating to us. That took a while. And, and, and again, as a developer, he'll tell you that time kills all deals. And so,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:06:03–00:06:03 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
working on the, uh, the parcels surrounding the, um, the Brightline station. And so I'm hopeful that, uh, we can do a deal with St. John's, uh, on the, uh, conservation easement.
Um, that'll give us, uh, the ability to sort of swap out the conservation easement. That's, that's, uh, around the, um, around the parcels, uh, surrounding the, uh, train station there. And so, um, so that's the, that's the, the ‸ land, uh, issue. Um, again, it comes to us really unencumbered as before it was going to come to us with a, uh, with a conservation easement on it. He, uh, actually,
Jeremy, I'm going to call this, he financed through a bank, uh, the deal, um, prior to closing, uh, he went into a relationship with that bank. Uh, and so we're reflecting, we're amending the, uh, agreement to reflect that the bank recognizes our agreement, the developer's agreement, and that the bank is, uh, subordinating itself to that agreement, i.e. Um, the bank, uh, recognizes that this is a certain component of it is an affordable housing component.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:07:37–00:07:38 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
affordability period there. And so, again, all, um, changes that, um, are really, uh, positive to the deal there. And, and I'll, I'll let the developer elaborate if he needs to.
I mean, he said, he said it great. That's exactly what happened. It was just taking so long with St. John's to get approvals and we couldn't start construction. And

Something could have happened. And now we're under construction now. So, but that, that's all it was. And we just decided to spend the money and just give it to y'all free and clear.
I mean, I didn't get a chance to ask any questions about this. I took a look at the old development plan. This significant changes. Um, it is, there are, uh, they say one or two bedroom apartments for law officers or teachers or whatever.

I think what concerned me most was a recalculation of tree mitigation contribution that's something we've never done before and so I know that the city manager had mentioned that, has mentioned several times to me that we're taking back our tree ordinance which we had only recently passed
and redoing it and then I see this and that kind of ‸ I'm concerned about that because I think the waiver of the tree mitigation was probably when I looked up the property the 11.5 acres what you paid for ‸ what ‸ is on the market for. Probably, maybe the mitigation is a little bit more than that property was worth. So, it's kind of a trade, but we also have, you know, we've done, we've reduced the size of the apartments for you. of course, this was done through because
so I mean we've made a number of concessions so I am concerned about that what that means exactly that we are ‸ going to, maybe someone can explain that more to me.

I thought that was a part of the original deal, that if you made it to the 30th year, there's a a payoff if you will a reduction of the of the tree mitigation amount there I know when you look at the other developments when you look at the lakes at Cocoa

think that this is a new language ‸ I recall that this is very similar language that we've talked about in ‸ those development orders there but again I think it was always contemplated that this zeros out at some point if he is still maintaining the the property as an affordable housing
yeah. So, and that was that was part of the trade for the property, the affordable housing aspect of it there. But again, you know, 90% market ratemarket rate project and he's still agreeing to maintain that affordable housing piece for the 30 years is pretty good. His bank recognizes that they have that obligation and so, and so we think
‸ 30 units. would do we, what will be the system for us? Will they be tracking? Will, will you be tracking whether or not the units remain yeah I think we're no

you've heard me talk about this before for Shea house that we are renting it at the low market value, that it is a heritage, what you would consider a heritage value or premium, historical premium value, and we are currently renting it. so
see if I can find the doc so again you know my platform when I ran for office one of my wishes was to make the Porsche house an actual attraction for Coco rather than just a rent a place an office rental and and right now we have I think that the businesses that are there understand the value they get for it being a historical property. And in fact when you look up you know how you evaluate value of properties, historical properties, there is a premium

We'll start seeing the effects of Hurricane Milton tomorrow afternoon. Our EOC will activate to a level one starting tomorrow morning at 8 a.m what that means is all of our available resources will be brought in to answer the calls throughout the night as the storm comes through. Start prioritizing things once it's safe to be out on the roads to get our city back up and running and operating and answer the calls of our citizens who are in need. I would ‸ strongly, strongly encourage any of our citizens who live in manufactured homes, who live in a flood prone area or who are electricity or
trucks. It puts our people in harm's way. So I would just ask you to please, please go to those shelters. They are prepared for you. The county has done a great job in ensuring that they have proper staffing for those. Also, the individuals who may have medical needs where they need oxygen machines or things of that nature, they have those facilities set up and prepared and ready for you tomorrow at 9 a.m our telephone service will be available here at City Hall. We'll continue to push out messaging throughout the night as

storm goes through. We will see impacts, as I said, early tomorrow afternoon ‸ with the major impacts happening sometime in the middle of the night between 2 a.m and 4 a.m going into thursday morning this storm has slowed significantly. We'll see if it picks up and maybe comes a little faster, but it has slowed significantly. That's why the times have changed. So we will see those impacts go
We did ask for in the emergency declaration just a little bit of wiggle room because of like every hurricane we've ever had, they never make up their mind and they don't come on our time clock.

you kindly, sir. And then, Mr. Mayor, another another uh important matter of note is is that uh waste management did agree and and uh was making sweeps weeps within the city. The complicating part of that is is that there is a
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:32:04–00:32:05 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
over three hour wait at the landfill. And so so they couldn't rotate through as quickly as they as we had hoped, but they did attempt to make uh sweeps for uh for yard debris and uh any uh bulk items that were out uh
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:32:27–00:32:27 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
Just a couple of other follow-ups with that. uh As the city manager stated, just so all of our residents know, the landfill will be open till noon tomorrow, but it will be ‸ closed after that and on Thursday. They'll re evaluate once a storm passes uh
as far as being closed Wednesday and Thursday. And an evaluation done ‸ probably late Thursday on what uh municipalities and government buildings will be open going into Friday
one more other question sir um the other question i have is this um I know we're talking about sandbags we don't have any more but the mounds are still out there so people get their own plastic bags they can still go and shovel um and that that's what we did yesterday we're
okay um waste management will they be doing any more because I counted at least 12 piles on the way here going down Indian River Drive and for some reason people like to put them right on top of the storm drain

ma'am. we We had already talked to waste management about that because I, too, drove Indian River Drive. And again, as the city manager alluded to, you know, once their trucks are full, they're sitting three hours at the landfill waiting to dump. So, you know, they're getting backed up just like anybody else. And once the landfill closes, there's really nowhere for them to put that. So they have been at it hard at it all day today.

Creek? You have, they modified the hours and now charging people per ton as well. Traditionally, they, they, they, was doing it for free. So long as you were not a business.
Yeah, I think, I think there's a new, a new fee structure for dumping at the landfill. I forget off the top of my head, whether or not that's county initiated or whether that was state initiated, but there are new, new fees for the landfill. um and so again, with the storm, everybody wants to, to dump at the landfill. And so that again, the, the, the turnaround time is, is the real issue there. um I think a couple of citizens were surprised that were in the past, they could actually go and drop off for free. Now, uh uh there, there is a charge ‸ there. um and so that, that, uh that is, uh that is, uh affecting the circumstances there again, the, uh and I don't know if you want to talk about, you want

you know, we we're gonna we're gonna be um working on that. um As you know, Mr. Mayor, um the Coalition for the Homeless actually has a working group to address that. um Again, and specifically, that law requires a um an encampment be established um within the county um as a requirement of that law. The the strange thing about that is is that if you're going to do it within a city, it requires a vote of the city council of that city, and it also requires a vote of the county commission. And so um so there is a working group uh led by uh the Coalition for the for the Homeless, um
and so we're meeting periodically to try to come up with a plan uh for implementation or to address those issues. But it's going to be complicated, and uh it's a different way of uh of uh going about addressing uh homeless in the cities and in the county.
Yes, sir. uh Mr. City Manager, real quick, and then we'll move forward. Elaborate on what's on Camp Road that was once Department of Corrections. You remember they have the big state portion. and the Wayne's, what is he called, the ivory steel? Yeah,
so so so a lot of folks are are not too familiar with Camp Road, but Camp Road consists of uh the county jail. uh There's a juvenile uh facility, and then there was a old uh state prison um or detention facility, I'll call it. um ‸ they tore that down in 20 12 or something like that. And so uh
uh an encampment could be, then you know I guess we'll be talking about uh geographic locations. Obviously, that's going to be a NIMBY issue for for a whole lot of people there. But again, um traditionally, you've had a state, county, and state uh juvenile sort of all on camp road.
amendment number two. I can guarantee you. Okay. All right. What are the wishes of council for item number two, resolution 2024-098? Motion to approve. Second. Okay. Who's gonna ‸ get the second? We
