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.
515 suspect passage(s) marked in place; 1 stretch(es) where a voice was detected and no words were recognized.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 21 voices separated from the audio.
55 short machine repair(s) (77 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, whether a voice was detected where the words are and a language review for likely mishearings.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 94.1% of 23,061 content words.
Dotted words (604 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
515 passages (19% 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.
Voice detected, no words recognized (1 stretch). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:
02:42:14 (9 s) — neither reading has words
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.

Let us pray. Our dear, gracious Heavenly Father, Lord, we just thank you for this day, Lord. We thank you for all the gifts and guidance that you provide us each and every day, Lord. Lord, we pray for those families that have been affected over in the Bahamas, Lord, and we pray for the families affected by the hurricane in Texas, Lord, with all the flooding. We ask, Lord, that you continue to put a hedge of protection around our city council and around our city, and especially around all of our employees, Lord. We thank you each and every day for the services that they provide to our community. We thank you for the guidance and direction that you provide each and every one of us as we make decisions for the best part of our community, Lord, and for our citizens that live here. We pray, Lord, that you continue to watch over us. Thank you for each and everything that you do. In your holy name we do pray. Amen. Amen.

A lot of people got upset about it. Thank God I was able to get some people to look into it and not go any worse than that. The discussion that was brought up with the
with the city that did maintaining of the trees that could potentially avoid that. That's the one thing I wanted to say very quickly. The other thing is about something that's affecting a lot of citizens in the city. And it's the gravel charging ‸ that the Code Enforcement Board is doing. Last night's meeting there were several people. One was able to show up. The other two had to decline for issues that they're going about gravel driveways. He was getting a lot of assistance from Brenda Warner, one of the council members here.
There was a lot of information that was shared. And the main thing that was discovered is that any of these $250 a day charges for a code that is vague and can be misconstrued, which also was stated by our city attorney in a letter in reference to it and several staff. And

Because this definitely needs to be rewritten. It's going to take time to do it. I highly recommend that since it was a unanimous support ‸ by the chairman to bring it to the attention of the city ‸ manager and ask that this stopped being looked into and charged for gravel. This is something that never required a code and it's only been in the past year or so. And it's gotten to the point now where there are people that can't sell their house, that live paycheck to paycheck, that can't refinance their house, and the lien can be attached on anything, including and above the particular house that's there. I'd like to see if there's a consensus that we could stop all the charges with everyone until this gets better corrected. It is vague, it's more commercial than residential, and it's hurting a lot of residents. I knew that this was happening.

He knows that they don't have a business tax receipt and they're running this store, which is more a clubhouse than a store, and he helped them find a loophole because they told him that they were volunteers and that they

came forward. Myself, Samantha Sanger, met with her. Probably spent about 60 hours of research. I'll provide you the memo in regard to all the concerns that she raised ‸ and my investigation into the allegations. And I can just tell you it really comes down to, I think, the police department is being put ‸ in a very difficult position when it's tenant-landlord and tenant-tenant issues. And they are wrapped in the middle of it.
I don't think it's appropriate to comment because I think there's an ongoing criminal case that the state attorney's office is pursuing that they signed an affidavit of prosecution of which the police department had a legal obligation to respond to. So I will provide all of you the memo that we put together based on all the information that Ms. Lamar brought forward previously.
So with regards to conduct that goes back years, I mean, ‸ there was a three-year gap in between an incident that happened and when it was reported. But it just, I'll let the memo speak for itself, ma'am. It just, there's no city policy or regulation that's going to be able to regulate, you know, the tenant-landlord or the versus tenant, you know, issues. There are some instances where Ms. Lamar is a complainant. There are some instances where Ms. Lamar is the subject of a complaint. And there's numerous instances like that. So it's an ongoing thing. And it's just, again, our officers are called. There's a call for service. They respond.
Chief Prince? No report, except this will be my last meeting. Yes, sir. Before retiring on Friday. So I just want to say thank you very much. It's been an honor to be the fire

the standard that Governor DeSantis laid out when he, you know, vetoed the plastic straw bill, if you will, and that they would honor and respect home rule, and that local government, local elected officials, are best capable of making decisions that affect local communities, we're a unique, diverse state. The Cocoa Beach is different than Cocoa,
Each community has its own issues and challenges, and the residents of each community, through you as the elected body, should be able to determine, you know, what works best for our respective communities. So if you have any other issues, I'll be drafting a letter to go out ‸ this Friday. ‸ Council are generally okay with that. I mean, if not, please just let me know of their issues. Okay, related to that, we have two members that serve on the Florida League of Cities legislative policy committees, in terms of three,

So number three, today, as I mentioned, the community partnership school program, ‸ back in 2014, we first met with the Brevard Public Schools District, Matt, myself, Dr. Julie Smith,

College Children's Home Society, the Brevard Public Schools, and with the idea of applying for a planning grant for a community partnership school for Endeavor Elementary. 2015, that became a reality, and today, Matt and myself, as members of the Matt and Leadership, excuse me,
think it speaks, I mean, there's some significant achievements that have been made with Endeavor in terms of the parental engagement, the resources that have been brought, you know, community-wide with Brevard Health Alliance, and there's a number of them,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:34:11–00:34:12 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
and I know in the upcoming 12 months, their goals, primary objectives, are to increase parental engagement and activities and increase participation by 30% of families, ‸ as well as ‸ to increase the utilization of the healthcare services, specifically the medical services, dental services and behavioral health services,
with the assessors to find out what the outcome of that assessment was. It's a year earlier than they needed to apply for the certification, but it's important, and with that in mind, there is currently a planning grant through UCF. It's their center of innovation and education, although Children's Home Society works with them, ‸ but there's a planning grant, and we forward it
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:35:23–00:35:27 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
because we think it would be ideal, the students essentially ‸ being surrounded by a support network of not just focus on academics, but also looking at, you know, the issues of health, whether ‸ it be medical, behavioral, dental, as well as other, you know, support in terms of the social component and increasing parental engagement, And it has shown in the last year and a half, two years specifically, we have seen Endeavor go from a very, if you recall,
Cabinet and the Leadership Council, we see it as an opportunity, you know, when you look at some of the systemic issues our community faces, it's an opportunity to break that cycle of generational poverty, generational ‸ low educational attainment, generational incarceration, And so we're hopeful that maybe Cocoa High will provide,
a sixth grader to go into a junior, senior high and having a protected environment, at least an environment of enhanced resources and support, and then going into, you know, a high school could be very challenging, and we would like to see that continuity being maintained, and as you know, in this year's budget and previous budgets, the city has been very, and they were lauded today on numerous occasions for support of Endeavor Elementary, so I just want to let you know that we'll report back to you once we hear the outcome of the certification review.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:37:28–00:37:33 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
and ‸ there are several others, but the first elementary school was Endeavor Elementary, And so we are hopeful that Cocoa High will apply for a planning grant to set themselves up to establish a community partnership school. we did speak with Jarvis Wheeler who was, his role is going to be increasing with Children's Home Society about,
to provide that continuous, you know, level of support, and there's a lot of community organizations that have lended time, ‸ their time, their money, as well as even in-time donations, you know, to make it possible along with the police department, community relations unit. So, we'll report back to you once we find out the results of that. And last, you know, I did have a conversation, and as you know, this is the last meeting prior to the, to the end of the fiscal year, and so, you know, Monday, September 30th, the fiscal year ends. The city did, you know,
that serve a municipal purpose, we budget, I think, about, it's $3,750, which represents $750 per member. To date, there's only been $1,000 donated to Cocoa Youth Athletics. The donation policy requires a 60-day application. You have to turn your application in within 60 days, provide all the requisite financial information, the project, And there's been a request that a member, you know, provide the balance of their donation, or their amount dedicated for each member to the Marine Resources Council, and, you know, in speaking with the city attorney, we could waive the time frame for the application submittal, But what it would require is that the, the app,
they would still have to complete the application and invoice the city. And within the application, establish the ‸ purpose for which they'll use the funds and to be aligned in terms of being a municipal purpose,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:40:14–00:40:15 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
And they could, and they would be applying for basically for the same thing they were two years ago, the report card, the annual report card that is produced on the condition of the Indian River Lagoon.
So, then that,so that'll make it easier for them if they wanted to do that, but it's just so, if council, if there's consensus with council to waive the 60-day application fee, or the 60-day application time frame, we will accept their application, it just has to be, the application, the invoice must be submitted by Monday, September 30th. If it's not, it will fall into the next fiscal year, which would go against the next fiscal year's donation policy.

so that will be coming up. We'll certainly, we'll report back. And then now, last but not least, you know, Chief Prince mentioned, this was his last meeting. there was a chain of, change of command ceremony, Friday, September 27th at 10 a.m. at Fire Station One. I would encourage you to come out, and I'd like to take the opportunity to thank,

I was there this morning and, and I'm glad I was there because there's a gentleman that walks around in the city, you know, He's at some of our stops and up near the Wawa. He was actually trying to get money from some of the parents, or cigarettes and, and of course, the kids were a little agitated about him.
have an officer there at that bus stop in the morning because it was, I just felt sorry for the kids there and some of the parents that can't be there because they either have to go to work and there are a couple that are there, but then just the harassment that they get.

I know Ms. Bernice Cox was in here and we were talking about the signs. And I went by and I looked at the signs that were up and ‸ they're, ‸ really nice signs and they're cheap. And we have some locations in the city that we really need to stick these signs up because not everyone
those signs. If we have just a couple of people that see those signs and slow it down, then I think it'd be nice. But there ‸ are certain places we need to have those signs up. ‸ Because we have some streets throughout our city leaving our schools where there's no sidewalks.

and I know we've been busy. There's a lot of stuff going on right now, but we really need to start addressing some of our parking issues during our major events downtown. So, I don't want that to just go by the wayside. We've had a number of parking studies done and we need to actually start moving on something like that so we can address these issues so we can grow. And, as ‸ well as the museum,

change the outlook of it is to, you know, make people, I feel comfortable selling drugs in the part where kids should be. So, I thank you for that. ‸ I know you will make sure it stays consistent. And I think, you know, like I said,
But, ‸ like I said, ‸ I got more good calls than bad because the people that live in that area is not all bad. A lot of people that's in the park, they don't live in the area. They walk to the area. They ride their bike to the area. So,
And we should protect the good. ‸ So, thank you for that. And the segues as well. I got several pictures of the segues going down the road. So, that was good as well. The, Chief Prince, I'll tell you this. My life is better because I met you. Number one, your love for God.
think you'll like that, Councilman. I think you'll love that. So, it is going to help their students in the STEM program. It's a beautiful thing to see a school not only maybe five, ten years ago, people was breaking in, stealing, cop right out of

you know, I've talked to Matt about this as well. They're not doing a great job with keeping our facilities up in the area. So, hopefully, Commissioner Loeber can help me and help us with some of our facilities.
You know, hopefully, Some of the parks he's never been to. So, I think it would be a good challenge for him to help us and in turn would make him look good as well. So, that's it.
Okay. Just one quick thing before I turn it over to the Deputy Mayor. Also, Mr. City Manager, I wanted to challenge you and the employees that, you know, when our employees are out and about riding around throughout the city, you know, going to their jobs, if they see some items that are in areas that they shouldn't be, like carts with crap in them or whatever ‸ that's next to ‸ the roadway,
and if it's not, if they're not going to an emergency or whatever the case might be, if they got room in their vehicle or truck, I just challenge them to just pick it up if they can. You know, not to go through the city picking up trash, but just some items that actually stands out in the city because I ‸ do it myself ‸ and it says a lot to the community when they see our ‸ folks out, you know, when they're big items that are sticking out there. And ‸ I'm not talking about something they can't handle, but I mean, just something really simple they can just grab and get out of the roadway in a safe way without putting themselves in harm. So ‸ just a challenge for them. It just says a lot.
him out of the street. So, yeah, gotta be careful when you're in the road. People don't pay any attention. Um, just a few things, Mr. Mayor. Um, after the legislative, uh, Florida League of Cities legislative meeting in Orlando, uh, at the very end of that, there is going to be, um, an advanced, uh, EMU class and I will be attending that. That's actually, um, starts as the conference gets over ‸ so I will be there for that on the 16th and 17th. I also wanted to thank Mrs. Dolores McLaughlin and Mr. Larry Brown for a wonderful dinner the other night for the PAL family night. Um, and, uh, like to challenge more of, uh, the parents of those children to come out and enjoy dinner with their kids. Um, Mr. Brown puts on a really good, um, meal
where he was able to, um, compete and earn a best of breed title and add some more points to his, um, um, quest for a championship, um, to make him, um, a well-rounded, well-trained officer for the police department. And speaking of training, um, I would also like to thank the Brevard Kennel Club for, um, their, um, funding, uh, one of our, uh, other canine officers, Officer Rhodes, uh,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:54:44–00:54:45 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
and Officer Rhodes are getting, uh, a week's worth of training that, uh, they otherwise normally wouldn't get. So I want to thank them. And to Chief Prince, I wanted to say, when you came on board, um, I was really kind of concerned, uh, about our fire department. There were a lot of things going on and there, there was a huge void in leadership there. Um, by most standards, your time here has been short, but your impact has been spectacular. Thank you very much. I could not have imagined anybody who could have possibly done a better job than you have done. I, I don't know how you got here, but I am so thankful you did. Thank you very much. And I know you're leaving our department in a wonderful place and that Jonathan will be able to continue that, having had an opportunity to learn from you. And, uh, I hope you won't be a stranger to Coco. Thank you.

they had a contract to do it and it makes a big, big difference now. People aren't afraid to walk at night. So I want to thank them for doing that And hopefully they'll get into the city and start doing the city streets pretty soon Because it does illuminate a lot better than the regular old lights that they have up there. And that's all I have, Mr. Mayor.

‸ started in Sweden back in 1997 but has, um, come to the attention of Brevard, particularly in light of the reports that came out earlier this year that showed that
states in regard to pedestrian deaths. and even within Florida, Brevard was very high on the list, and within Brevard, our Route 1 and 520 are a focal point of, um, accidents and pedestrian deaths. So, it's a serious problem and, and, you know, of course, a couple weeks after I came into office, uh, you know, someone in our neighborhood
So, um, this is a campaign I really want to pursue over the next year. It's really meant to be an education campaign to really slow things down, to ‸ really calm the traffic down. We've seen that work in a couple of places, and thanks for the signs on Michigan Avenue. I've heard a lot of feedback that that's been a good thing. So, we'll look forward to working on that more. And one of the things that was said today that struck me, of course, we had a couple of staff that were there, Abby Diaz from Public Works and, um, Samantha from Communications but,
and they talked about this kind of overlapping that, you know, the strategy of going in there with some messaging and signs and with some, you know, police monitoring. So, hopefully, we'll be working with the police department on that too.
most wonderful experience, one of the most wonderful experiences for me since being in office was to be the, uh, guest chef at, uh, Emma Jewell Academy and that school is really impressive. They're doing some very innovative things. This was, they do one day a month where they recognize their scholars on a particular value, and
Um, Just as we are launching the Coco Tigers chorus to Carnegie Hall in a couple ‸ weeks to perform, um, discovered that Cambridge Elementary has started a chess club and only after a few weeks of practice, they went to the competition

So, I would really like to find ways to celebrate that as well. Um, And then this week, that actually since the last, uh, conference meeting before, I've had a lot of communications from constituents in regard to stormwater, in regard to our stormwater plan and, um, that has been heavy on my mind. ‸ Still studying that plan and, and convinced that it's a good plan that particularly after we incorporate the full system modeling, after we integrate the park master plan, that that's going to serve us well. And, you know, to your points,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:00:52–01:00:52 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
uh, I really think in a couple years we'll see some, uh, changes and benefits and even some community social benefits in regard to the projects that involve green infrastructure.
and certainly if I'm in office, if we do anything like that again, I would really want any letters to go out earlier because it wasn't until those letters went out that I got challenged and, um, was really forced to research and think about some things that I hadn't.
we've got those storms out in the Atlantic that are reminding us how important that is, as well as, uh, Greta speaking at the United Nations this week about climate change and adaptation. I just found out, um, and I didn't know, Matt told me a couple days ago that the credit, the credits that we were going to put in place, that they cannot be addressed this year. And I've spent a couple of afternoons now on the phone with constituents that have made significant investments in their property, either when they were developing it,

‸ Yeah, currently, uh, the city has, uh, defined impervious area, uh, with pretty strict language, And so some of those improvements based on that definition are not, uh, do not meet the definition, and therefore, are considered impervious, and count, uh, for that impervious square footage on the property.
uh, She is reviewing those case by case. Uh, their appeal for this, uh, assessment, year, is related to the amount of impervious area on their property. So if they disagree with the square footage that's been set by the consultant, uh, they file an appeal, and then, uh, Abby works to validate that.
on that line. And so, it is very important to make sure there's an accurate measurement to ensure that they're in the proper category. Now, as far as the credit goes, uh, there is,
uh, that will be adopted by October 1st. Now, what that is related to is, uh, generally commercial property or anyone that has a St. John's permit, uh, which could be a residential subdivision. Now, if they, if they meet the requirements for a St. John's, uh, permit, they can receive a 20% discount and the modified, uh, language allows up to a 40% if they meet a more severe storm as well as duration.

So that was the only change, um, that's that, that recommendation. Um, I wanted to let you know that in 2010, last time we did this comprehensive year update, um,

Just, yeah, we got a contract coming up, and it certainly provides flexibility. It's not lowering the level of service. It's just saying one to two and as technology develops, I mean,
We have people that aren't using it twice a week. So it's just something it was, uh, as we retain a consultant with among the various waste providers to evaluate and provide us proposals, in when this contract with waste management ends, uh, keep in

the comp plan, it, uh, it, it binds your hands to some degree, but it also, by one to two, provide you a little bit of flexibility. That's all that we're looking at is the possibility of providing flexibility in light of evolving technologies.

conditions, um, you might not get picked up on your pickup day and then they would have to wait like two weeks. And that was the reason why we went to the, the two days. The reason I had that in there, but my question was,

But you ultimately would determine in, in the contract negotiations, and then we could highlight specific periods where there would be the need for two. it just, I mean, that, that's all that part of, that, all that part of that negotiation and trying to get a better level of service, but also the proper level of service and ensuring that we're hitting the, that, that level of service that providing what's needed, but not paying too much to the point where we're paying for more than what's needed.
So what you're asking us to do is leave this alone so that when it comes time to negotiate that new contract, we have the flexibility and we're not set with having to.

it's just that you've got a contract coming up and I think you want that flexibility. Yeah.

dive into that unless you want to bring it up. So we'll hit the kind of high level highlights of each of the elements, give you an idea of how we looked through the comprehensive plan and how we communicated our proposed changes with staff,
we did the year in 2010, and then we'll look at some of the mapping, And most of the mapping has to do with the coastal resiliency plan that you saw not too long ago. So with that, you have 14 elements in your comprehensive plan. I consolidated all of the infrastructure elements in one, but that's the makeup of your current comprehensive plan, starting with the future land use element, and then moving on. ‸ That was the required amount of elements you had to have at the time that we worked on the plan, and that started with the Growth Management Act, and then
When we went through the Community Planning Act changes in 2011, they changed this process on us a little bit. So every seven years, a city and or county is required to look at their comprehensive plan.
about two and a half inches thick, And we had to look at pretty much every single policy in the plan, And then we had to tell the city whether or not we felt like they were meeting that standard in the policy, And then we provided recommendations on what you should do with each policy. The state said, okay, and ‸ the Community Planning Act ‸ said, no, you don't need to do that anymore. All we want is a letter telling us whether or not you're going to make changes based on the changes in the statutes, and if you are, you get one year to make those amendments. Well, that letter was sent to the state in 2017.
behind schedule, so we just ‸ got to get these in. Now, ‸ the ramifications are, and as you may already know, if you, say, for example, have a really nice redevelopment project in downtown and you happen to need to change a future land use map,
ear, ‸ or your ear amendments, pardon me. So we've got to get ‸ this process taken care of. What we've advised staff and what we typically advise our clients when we're dealing with the
amendments at this stage is that we kind of hold off on doing a full plan update. because, one, it's not warranted, it's not needed. You have sufficient data analysis to get you through a relatively short horizon period, But you're under the scrutiny through the state-coordinated review process, which
kind of implement what the state wants to do in your plan. Now, if you come back and do amendments after we're done here, let's say in a few years, you have an opportunity to submit a plan that you'd like as a community and you'll have less input from the state, and that's done through the expedited review process, and I'll get into that a little bit here. So we're going to talk a little bit about the changes to the statutes, look at some of our recommendations, and this is what we did in the matrix here. So
We're totally fine if staff would like to include this as part of the data analysis sent to the state. It's completely fine. Essentially, it shows all the changes to the statutes since the last time we updated the plan, and it gives you an idea of what our recommendations are to staff, and staff has responses in that matrix. So what ‸ changed?
in the growth management laws here in the state, removed concurrency for transportation, park ‸ school concurrency, pardon me, changed the year process, as I mentioned.
or plan amendments. So ‸ you have the expedited review, which is a 30-day review, and then the state coordinated review process, which is 60 days. And then in 2013, they provided alternatives to transportation concurrency, so if you did decide to remove transportation concurrency from your plan, they provided some different avenues with mobility standards and things like that. There were some preemptions to fuel terminal uses. Then 2015 came what they've noted as the, or called the peril flood statutes, and so you're pretty familiar with that, if you were, or participated in the resilient COCO plan and the coastal resiliency and adaptation action planning. ‸ And so that kind of set those wheels in motion. And then in 2016, there were some changes to ‸ DRIs. Essentially,
them. They still can, you know, the developments themselves and the development orders are still good if you still have DRIs around, but essentially got rid of them. You don't have to do DRIs anymore. And then since 2018, really only kind of minor changes. So what you'll see in the document, you'll see strike through and underline, and those changes are generally, we're removing references to rules 9.J.5 and 9.J.11, which there are quite a few of those. There are a lot of time frames that you'll see in the plan, and ‸ that was a requirement by the state. ‸ You know, it'll say, for example,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 01:21:33–01:21:40 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
parks and rec plan or something, or something to that extent. And maybe the city's not ready to do that, or they already did something that's called something else, And so we've gotten rid of some of those time frames so you're not held to those standards anymore. And then we, you know,
For the future land use element, you'll see that there's a future land use map. Now, that's not, we're not proposing any map changes. It's just a new map to go along with the plan. So I just want to make sure that's clear. Also, we've got a new coastal high hazard line that's shown in there in the new map, as well as wetlands. With the transportation element, we've, again, confirmed that you're continuing to use concurrency. We recommend not touching that until after we get through this. We don't want to have to deal with any new data and analysis. We've already kind of confirmed with the state and said, it's okay, you don't need to update all your data analysis now. Just get through the statute changes, and let's kind of move on. And then when you get to a point when the city's ready to kind of go through some visioning and wanting to fully update the plan, then after this process is when you should do it. So for the infrastructure elements, as I like to call them, we did, there were some changes to the stormwater element. Of course, we've talked about the solid waste residential pickup. I will note that there was a policy that was removed, and that is, I don't know the exact policy, but it refers to no net zero discharge. And so that policy was removed because
And that was mentioned as well at PNC last night. Coastal management, that's where the bulk of the changes are. Now, through your work with the planning council, they had proposed amendments as part of their work through the ‸ Resilient Cocoa Plan, That is the majority of their work with some changes that ‸ we've addressed ‸ and added. So that's what you're going to see a lot of. And that kind of is sprinkled throughout ‸ the plan. Housing, again, ‸ updating some of the statute references, adding a Parks and Rec master plan to recreation open space element, updated some of the agency references. Here, there is a tiered level of service standard for the ‸ schools, or school concurrency,

the capital improvements plan inside the text of the comp plan and just reference it so that when you do, submit it to the state, because you're required to transmit to the state annually. That as you go through your budgeting process, you have your CIP, you just say, here you go, Mr. Mann at the state, here's our plan, and it's just referenced in the comp plan. We're not having to go back and update the text
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:25:50–01:25:50 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
we already mentioned the ‸ level of services that were tied to specific time frames. See here, onto the pool stuff, the mapping, this is the stuff I like. So we updated the surge zones map based on the SLOSH model, updated the existing land use, future land use in the coastal area,
and then provided for a new coastal high hazard map and a new projected sea ‸ level rise map. So next steps will take in your input, provide for any revisions to ‸ the amendments. We have about 10 days to get this bundled up and packaged and sent to the state. The
like I said, has 60 days to review. They issue what's called an objections, recommendations, and comments report. Now this is different from the expedited review process, and this is really
we recommend that you do your big changes in a, you know, about a couple years away from this process because you have to address the objections, recommendations, and comments report. If you do not address it, you can't get a notice of compliance.
and we want to make sure we get the monkey off our backs and just kind of get through this ‸ process so we don't have, you know, the state looming over us when we want to do a cool redevelopment project in downtown Cocoa.
So if you notice there in the legend, we've got 2040, 2070, and 2100 shown in this map. So that does, that is promising. Here's the existing land use and future land use maps that I mentioned in the coastal planning area. And the floodplain and kind of hard to see, but this is the coastal planning area

we start seeing any additional activity coming back. And in the 2010 plan, in large measure, working with Chris and Pat and our staff, you know, I felt that we, in our planning and zoning board, that we, I would say, swung for the fences in many respects. I mean, there were probably some stronger plans out there that had more binding policies, but we did a lot of encouraging, you know, shall encourage and ‸ use language that would move us in the direction of being more oriented towards smart growth, you know, sustainable practices
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:30:49–01:30:50 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
city tried to rewrite the plan development regulation, what ‸ that resulted in, I thought the 2010 plan really took into consideration and provided that flexibility for the city to move in the right direction. ‸ I do want to add that I did speak with DEO and as well as they confirmed that once we transmit this conference plan amendment within the 10 days, once they receive it, you know, they have a time period to determine whether or not it's sufficient, but once that's done, the city is in compliance. You know,
We're in compliance because the statute only provides that you submit your based conference plan amendment. So that would put the city back in compliance in terms of, unfortunately, we haven't had anybody that has been knocking at the door with great urgency on a conference plan amendment. That's all I had to add. Again, thank you to SME and our staff.

I just wanted to ask. So I'm trying to understand it conceptually, so ‸ excuse my ignorance on this, but the comp plan, the strategic plan is our main document. The comp plan encompasses ‸ our direction, our guidance.

is it's like, it's your constitution on your land use in terms of how you're going to regulate development and growth that provides the overarching goals, objectives, many of which are aspirational in terms of, you know, in terms of by this date, we're going to try to endeavor to do this, this, this, this, this. And then there's some that are very specific and binding. Like when you get into the future land use settlement, you're establishing within each of the future land use categories the various densities, intensities, impervious service ratios, other specific policies that will guide development within on a piece of property that has that designation. So ‸ it actually, you know, you have the comp plan and then the zoning. The strategic plan that we have is really an organizational document ‸ that guides the ‸ city ‸ and in terms of where we aspire to go as an organization, as a community. And in many times, there is some linkages between. There are, you will take our strategic plan, You'll find some stuff that there are rooted in our comp plan as well. I mean, there is, so I guess it's, one's organizational trying to move in this direction, but this is, this is legally, you know, binding and it's like you can have, it, I,

slide shows changes in property values, and it actually got cut off some ‸ there at the bottom. But taking into account the homestead exemption, one last one that you can see, is a $200,000 home with a property value increase, including to save our homes, The value would have gone up to $203,000 with a $50,000 homestead exemption. Taxable value would actually be $150,000,

be a $23 increase for that property. This slide shows you where Cocoa is in relation to other cities in Brevard County And you can see that we rank number six at 5.9790 mills. So, as a public announcement, I'd like to say that the city is the taxing authority. The rollback rate is 5.7844

And so those were changes from that July budget to the one that you just recently got. I'm just highlighting for you what it was that changed from one point to the next.
Not necessarily tied to the rate. There were some things that were capital items that John was considering where to get the funding. And so he had it built in, but through balancing the budget was able to provide the funding to allow some of the capital. Some of it was changes in how we decided to do an allocation of salaries because we just went through the allocation study for stormwater and we reviewed it again with the water and sewer fund. And so we changed how people's salaries are split up between the funds because the cost is now being picked up with the calculation of the allocation.

Okay. So this part is for the budget and this is a pictorial of the revenue budget. You can see the revenues are pretty steady for the most part in the different funds depicting general fund water and sewer and the stormwater fund. And then looking at it numerically, comparing one year to the next,

they were budgeted and there were interfund transfers that happened to put the money in these separate capital projects funds. And so the big decrease is that obviously we aren't doing those projects or having to budget for those projects again in this fiscal year. Same thing down here with the water and sewer fund. Between the water and sewer fund and the capital projects fund, We took out the bond issue in 2018 and from that we did a whole bunch of interfund transfers to track the money in a separate fund. So that is the cause of those large swings. So overall, the city's budget decreased $26 million
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:49:08–01:49:11 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And then this is a look at the trends in the revenue over a time period from 2015. and as you can see again, the revenue trends looks like it's maintaining pretty steady. The categories are taxes, other permits and fees, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services, fines and forfeits
Okay. So this slide is showing you the funding source and as I said, this is how we have to report the numbers and it's showing you the change, which percent is, percent of the budget. So as you can see your taxes up at the top

represent 30%, 30.2% of general fund revenue. And then the other big portion is what's called other sources, which is inter-fund transfers, which includes the water and sewer return on investment transfer and the
and then also use of fund balance ‸ reserves. Looking at the water and sewer fund by funding source, you can see again, almost all the budget is charges for services because it's a utility fund, and so is the fees for providing the utility services. I'd like to note in the non-revenue, there's a decrease of $1.4 million and that's due to a change in accounting treatment of budgeting for capital projects. So previously we were re-budgeting every year and now we are budgeting in the year we're taking it out,

of this evening, so we included that in the budget since we knew about that. Taking a look at the expenses, again, expenditures, you can see 2019, it looks like it went up a lot because we had those inter-fund transfers, but other than that, it stays pretty steady. So looking at the expense budget by department, here you can see general operations decreased significantly,
that in 2020. So overall there's a decrease of $7.3 million on the expense side and that represents roughly 15.4% decrease. ‸ Taking a look at in general fund by category, biggest changes again are your grants and aids decreased due to hurricane Irma in the prior period. So we don't have that any longer. And then also $6.3 million decrease in the other, which is those inter-fund transfers that we did to accommodate for capital projects. Looking at the budget for water and sewer by division, overall you
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:53:28–01:53:34 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Large one is engineering as capital projects that were budgeted in fiscal year 2019. And as you'll see in a second, the utility fund is heavily focusing on projects that are related to the bond issue right now. So there isn't as much budgeted in the actual operating fund. So overall water and sewer fund has a $5.2 million increase or about
you see the capital. You see there's a change in the capital spending because they're focused on the spending the bond proceeds. And again, it reflects the $5.3 million decrease in their expense budget. Looking at stormwater fund, salaries and benefits decreased about 23%. And then increase in operating expenses,
And so overall there's an increase of $153,000 or 9.6% of their budget. ‸ This slide shows you the capital budget for general fund. Largest portion there is really the police, which is vehicle replacements, which are programmed vehicle replacements. Overall the capital spending is $697,889. And the rest of it represents just routine capital spending that needs to happen. Of note in the public works department there are some vehicles, some carts that are going to be replaced that city manager programmed in some electric vehicle to do the sustainability. In the water and sewer fund, again, this is capital spending. You see a large portion here is in ‸ engineering and the capital spending for infrastructure. It's related to several various capital projects that they have.

the stormwater study, we looked at the allocation of the salaries and we actually went through a full-blown justification of the salaries of how much time different people spent. And so the allocation changed is not people changed or salary was taken away from them. It's an accounting thing.

‸ Mr. Mayor, as you're aware, and you can provide a little bit of history prior to some members joining, you know, returning and they're joining the council. Back in 2017, there was a workshop, you know, held ‸ between the municipalities with CRAs and ‸ the county commission. And, you know, following an effort where a member, there was two, but one specifically that sought to revoke and modify the delegation of certain municipal and CRA authority. While the motion was defeated, there was a commitment on

In 1998, the city council created those agencies under the delegation of powers provided by the county commission. And, you know, following the workshop, probably, I mean, I would say beginning in August after that workshop, you know, I think the county manager got ‸ final direction in July.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 02:01:10–02:01:10 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
members of staff, we met ‸ and we were in the process of negotiating. We just came into, we were at a point where ‸ essentially there was just some fundamental differences, you know, and some ‸ matters that ‸ we felt were pretty significant. As you're aware, with the election of the new commission, there was a last-minute agenda item related to Diamond Square CRA to revoke its powers while it was defeated. We subsequently did meet with
in January of 2019, at which time he shared his concerns and his desires related to the county, ‸ city, and the CRA, specifically the ILA's. So the city and the county subsequently reengaged in negotiations between March and all the way up through August. And ultimately, consensus was reached based on positions that the county commission had provided the direction to the county manager and what we were trying to accomplish in terms of protecting the city's

been approved by the board at the September 5th meeting. So I want to briefly review ‸ the two CRA, ILA's. The U.S. one-quarter CRA, ILA provides that the agency shall terminate by September 30th, 2020, which is two years earlier than it ‸ was scheduled to terminate, and that the

you know, any other, you know, statutory requirements in terms of terminating or sunsetting that agency two years earlier. With regards to the diamond square CRA, ‸ I think it's important to note that the county did provide in section 18 of the interlocal agreement that

are, they are approving the diamond square ‸ redevelopment plan update that was, you know, dated March of 2014 and presented to them several times since that's in section 10. Uh, what,
in terms of the, the contributions the county were making the CRAs countywide. They are, you know, doing this and they have done it with others in terms of, uh, you know, limiting their, the expense that they provide to the CRAs due to other, uh, expenditure needs and funding needs they have related to other infrastructure. Uh, roads was one of the big issues that was raised throughout the workshop and subsequent meetings. So they are, you know, they, we ultimately agreed on,

funding is $121,000. And that includes the contribution or the payment from both the general fund and the district for recreation fund. Uh, and that amount is, uh, much larger than what was originally proposed at the county.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 02:06:56–02:07:03 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
limit or they have the limit the use of any of their county TIF contribution for a major administrative expenses for an amount not to exceed 25% of the county's TIF contribution. Uh,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 02:07:24–02:07:36 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
So I do have, that's found in section 11. I do have some numbers in the budget or in the agenda item. Uh, the current TIF for the diamond square CRA is 257,312. That 25% overall, uh, for administrative expenses is 64,328 dollars. And then if you look at the amount that the county is saying that they will only allow for, um,

And I think the county manager and attorney also believe that was an administrative expense. Uh, the other provisions that the, and this was a provision that was added at the meeting, um, on September 5th, you know, that the city
the diamond square CRA would agree that no county tax increment funds would be used to fund travel expenses for board members section six. However, that does not preclude and we sought that clarification that, uh, expenses

the board of county commissioners to serve as a member of the, uh, of the diamond square CRA board. Thus necessitating, uh, the reforming of the board as a seven member board with one member being the district two, uh, member. Uh, we offered some alternative language and that was rejected. And so what you have is what we ultimately came to is so with the reformation, the reforming of the board, uh, the city after

except for the first three members would be appointed, uh, one, two and three years respectively. And then the other three members of the city council would appoint would be four year terms. Uh, and then that no CRA board member may serve more than two consecutive terms followed by at least one year off the CRA board before they may be considered for reappointment. ‸ I think the expressed desire was to see turnover and new faces and ‸ you know on the Diamond Square board. Then there was a requirement and they actually had some additional language and we fell back on what we thought was appropriate in terms of what the state, with the recent legislative changes, the statutory changes regarding annual reporting and the finance audit report requirements, that template, and we're already working based on the statutory requirements, and they agreed
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 02:11:51–02:11:53 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
were scheduled to terminate in September of 2022 and the city council created them by ordinance. Thus, it's appropriate that these agreements come to you as the City Council created the agencies. ‸ However, if approved because ‸ the way the agreements were structured it does require that each of the agencies acknowledge I think probably for us 1 CRA it's not significant in that the City's going to absorb, you know, ‸ that remaining debt service, but it's also, but for the Diamond Square, is the acknowledgement of some of the limitation additional limitations placed ‸ on the diamond square CRA you know by the county commission. So presuming all the ILAs are approved and executed the city would undertake the necessary actions actions to reform the diamond square CRA board as well as the actions to terminate the US 1 CRA

that increment value increases due to the appreciation of property values redevelopment projects and or new construction the county's contribution is capped at $150,000 with those additional limitations on the administrative expenses. ‸ However, we thought in light of the alternative of ‸ the county could just let the CRA expire in 2022 and we ‸ certainly ‸ believe that the diamond square CRA as well as the US 1 CRA they have fulfilled and continue to fulfill their purpose in terms of facilitating and enhancing redevelopment. So, there's a number of projects I've got to point

aspirational that a new Dr. Jolie Smith Center be built. And if you drive over on Washington and Stone, I mean, you can't miss the footprint that's going up as we speak.
So, I mean, there's a lot of things that, you know, they have done. And I think they're very judicious and effective. ‸ Partner with the city and Stormwater Utility Fund to a degree on the regional stormwater facility that enabled the Wawa, the Dollar General, as well as there's additional capacity there in that facility, that stormwater

And they participated in that. And we had kids playing on that field. So for anyone to suggest that the agency has not, you know, fulfilled its purpose or has, you know, been a failure, I think it's, you know, I think the record speaks for itself and their progress speaks for itself. And the board is to be commended for that. So with that, Mr. ‸ Mayor, members of council, the recommended motion is to approve the interlocal agreements between the Brevard County Board of County

Anthony, you can correct my interpretation or not, you know, if it's incorrect, but nothing prevents the City Council from appointing the existing members that are on there, but the ‸ ultimate reality is, is you're ‸ going to have one less appointee in terms of what you appoint,

And then my other question is, what if, you know, ‸ we have trouble now getting some board members to fill some of these positions? What if we come to that ‸ two-term limit, and then you can't fill those positions? Then what do we do? And these folks, they'll want to serve. Is there a provision? I didn't hear a provision in there for that. I mean,

So you'd still have a majority. You know, there'd be four. And I think they structured it that way purposely and to provide time to find members to fill the slots. I mean, ‸ I guess the worst-case scenario is if you take the one-year member that is off in four years, they sit a year, then they come back.

don't like the deal. Number one, I really don't understand why I wasn't a part of this negotiation process because I'm just really, you know, when I got the agenda, I'm just seeing it now. I don't, it's very hard to find volunteers on our boards. And I don't,
No. I mean, as I indicated, ‸ for the upcoming year, the projected amount in large measure, as we indicated going back, I think, January of last year, I mean, ‸ but it's the total amount between the general fund

Cape Canaveral. I believe they've also done Rockledge. They've done Cocoa Beach. They pretty much have touched all of the ones, Palm Shores, ‸ Melbourne. I think the one that's out there that's remaining, and there may be another one, but I know Palm Bay is one that's out there that exists in terms of whether or not there's agreement.
That's right. I guess that ‸ was ‸ my biggest thing is I feel like we've been handcuffed. ‸ The Diamond Square budget is already small as it is. Now they're saying that we have to take on the administrative costs now. They're capping us at $150,000, and, you know, potentially in 10 years, you know, our property values could go up, which more than likely will
think within about two years, you'll be at that $150,000. But what I would add in that two years, the agency would cease to exist absent this agreement because of this agreement.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 02:24:45–02:24:46 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Yes, ‸ we already allocate just like we discussed the allocation of the funds for water and sewer. We're doing that. And we actually split the costs between the two CRAs for the staff that support the CRAs.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 02:25:06–02:25:09 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
that's not just salary, that's other expenses, legal among other things. And it's not covering, you know, that was one of our points when there was one provision proposal that they wanted to cap ‸ at 25.
Well, what I would suggest is the county commission, I mean, I have their signed copies of these agreements. I mean, they have voted on it, and there's nothing in there that precludes the city council from appointing. So once we enter into this interlocal agreement, you know, that provides for the extension of 10 years, the Diamond Square CRA, and then the reformation of the board is, yes, you get to appoint, you know, who you want. You know, just that first, we'll say seat one is one year,

‸ And then to address, I guess, long-term his issue, although it's, if with a 10-year extension and a two-year term limit, ‸ it's eight years, they're saying one person can serve on the board. How

I want to actually, you know, and Matt did bring it up, so It does say the remaining six members of the agency board shall be appointed by the city. The existing agency commissioners may be reappointed to the agency board. So ‸ it specifically states in the agreement that that's ‸ perfectly fine.
And then as ‸ their county commissioners change, you know, on three elections, we can always hopefully revisit this, you know, and ‸ tweak some of this stuff or change some of this stuff through negotiation. But anyway, I'm going to, if you guys don't mind, I'm going to,

Because it has potential. We've always had potential. But ‸ here's the way the politics work in Brevard. You got one city, you got one county commissioner for Titusville. You got one county commissioner for Merritt Island. You got three county commissioners for South Brevard, okay? We get nothing, okay?
all right? We have blighted areas. Blight is one of the findings that the US-1 RDA is trying to deal with. You know what the two biggest blighted areas in the US-1 RDA are?
Drive down Michigan Avenue on the way to my office and look off to the right, and what do you see? A forest of invasive Brazilian peppers on the county maintained right away, okay? These people do not do their job in our community. You guys, somebody was complaining about our recreational facilities, okay? Our recreational facilities run by Brevard County are inferior, ‸ okay? We get nothing from these people. ‸ Now, you got a bunch of those South County, I'm not going to use the R word, wackos, okay?

One, they don't like Coco getting anything, and Coco never gets anything from the county, and they see us with money, and they want to take that money from us, and they're going to take that money,
were probably corrupt, okay? There were South County problems in the RDA. You don't have those problems in your CRAs. Your city manager has run these things tightly, okay?

‸ And I know what John's doing. ‸ You have a CRA that has been tremendously successful, and he wants to protect them, and he's thinking that if he gives up the US-1 CRA for a year, which is only $200,000, because really that's what the US-1 CRA, that we don't collect that much because we're still blighted, but it's still $200,000, and
‸ And that's something you should think about. And the other thing, when you're dealing with bullies and you give in to their bullying, they come back at you.
Okay? So if you think that the good RDA is being protected by pulling the strings on US-1 and cutting some diamond square out, I don't think you're just going

mean... I don't disagree, and I just would add, I mean, I've been a significant proponent of CRAs, both locally and statewide, but with it being a delegated, again, with the county charter, they hold the cards in terms of whether or not they want to approve, you know, in terms of the creation of a CRA, and within the existing resolution,
we saw this in January of earlier this year, where they sought to revoke, you know, the powers of diamond square because they didn't have any debt, so they could have, they reserved that right to do that. So they've claimed other, you know, circumstances by which funds are, required for other... I'm not disagreeing about Dixon, 1997 study about...
I don't think the nest of vipers... The nest of vipers is telling him we got nothing, but I don't think they're right. I think we're in a stronger position than we are.
They're definitely wrong. There's no doubt about it, and one of them probably hadn't spent... Well, probably both of them, ‸ two of them haven't spent very much time within the city. You know, they just recently visited the city and don't know what's been happening here, don't know what was happening before.
Like the deputy mayor stated. So... But it's ‸ probably the best deal we have right now. I don't like this term limit for board members. I think it's a little ridiculous. ‸ But the fact is, they're both sunset, what, in 2022, and

Good evening to the mayor and council. Thank you for this opportunity to ‸ speak to you. We've fallen, but we're not broken. I think that in this case, there are some deals that may have needed to be done to save us, but we are strong. We do not intend to appear weak in any way. We don't know exactly what your decisions may be in regards to reassigning the same individuals. We hope that you do consider that.
This is a volunteer board. It seems to me that we are being treated unfairly in that sense. Because we are volunteers, we have been given a lot of time and effort to the joys that we are seeing now in the ‸ community. So we hope that this council will realize that those who are currently on this board are worker bees and will continue to work to fulfill the goals ‸ that plan that has now been approved. And I was glad to hear that. We've been trying so very hard to get some of those ideas that the community wanted to bring to the table done.
this particular commission that currently exists control everything. We see that they are going to be a part of the board. That's going to be very interesting. I think that that will bring to light some of the attitudes and some of the things that we have to conquer, challenges that we're going to have to ‸ conquer. But I do know that ‸ there's still much work to be done in Diamond Square. I appreciate the 10 extra years associated with getting that work done. I will be constantly working, whether I'm on the board or off the board, trying to make sure that the goals and objectives in the Diamond Square community are met.
that they will continue to ‸ fight for what we want to see in our community. It is our right as citizens in this city and in 626 to control our destiny. Yes, ma'am. And so I want to make sure that you are aware that that's something I think will continue to happen.
