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. No recording can be started from here.
486 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review; 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 17 voices separated from the audio.
52 short machine repair(s) (61 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 95.6% of 25,529 content words.
Dotted words (443 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
486 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.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
Voice detected, no words recognized (1 stretch). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:
02:49:22 (6 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.
need in order to make not only this meeting successful, but the things that are coming forth out of this meeting successful. We ask all of this in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

thank you so much for your time, uh, for this moment or my situation. Um, I'm speaking regarding the, I want to call it revitalization or renovation of my house. Um, I put an application in approximately, uh, three years ago. I don't know if the entity is the city
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:02:49–00:02:49 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
the county, but, um, I didn't get any written verification on what was the outcome of the inspection that was done by one of the employees and the inspector.
don't remember what that said. It will cover to rehab my house or read the revitalization of my house. But the, um, the issue is this, uh, the thing that was told to me was that, okay, all we can do is throw this back to habitat. The one that did your house in the first place to do your route because it's over five years old. So I, um, have gotten, uh, notification of a slug above that does my house that the West side of my house is eroding, uh, on the side. Uh,
can almost like put your hand on the West side of my house from the back to the front, even the East side of my house. And there's written ‸ verification from slug bugs that
And eventually I'll be me and my house will be sitting on the sidewalk. Um, ‸ a couple of weeks ago, I got a letter from habitat saying that they wanted me to do what's called a critical home repair. Loan. And that, um, I had to fall within a median, my median range, which I want somebody to take a look. See, um, I, I can read it, but I truly don't understand what they mean. So, um, they sent me a seven page application for a loan to take out, to fix the, uh, erosion on my house. And, uh, like a book, people said, there's nothing they can do about it. They can spray one side and the other side easy is eroding, uh, ‸ to the sidewalk. So what I'm requesting is the written, um, information from ‸ another inspection to say, what did this, uh, application that I did over three years ago? I do understand. I'm not the only one in the county or the community that needs help, but I understand the waiting period, but
And so, um, I don't understand what that covered and then I need help to, uh, fix the erosion or something to be done about it because eventually if you take a look,
Okay. Thank you for bringing that to us. I'm not sure if it's something that, uh, we can actually help you with, uh, but we definitely, um, feel that you have an issue. That probably does need to be looked at. Sounds like, um, I don't know if, is there anything from staff that maybe could help?

So firehouse number one, uh, coming tonight. We really wanted to make sure that you, uh, knew and can convey to the best of your ability to the residents, um, of the diamond square of the work that we're doing at the firehouse. Because I think that we're offering inform information and services there that would benefit, uh, ‸ residents. And then also equally important is we really want to get a better understanding of what do the residents of diamond square need and how can we best address that through services that we offer at the firehouse. So the first is a little bit about us.
is we, we know that the greatness of this community is measured by the compassionate actions of its members like yourselves. Our vision at family promise is to ensure that every family has a home, a livelihood and the chance to build a stronger future. And so all of the work that we do, uh, brings that to a reality. Um, we have strong values around how do we sustain the work that we're doing? How do we maintain innovation and, and every solution that we come to? How do we make sure the work we do is inclusive and ‸ equitable?
How do we continue with that authentic, uh, hospitality that we're known for? And that we engage everyone that we come across with empathetic engagement. We help families on three levels. The first one is really around, uh, working directly with families. The second way is by engaging the community to work more closely together. And the third is through elevating opportunities.
we're serving families with children that are in the middle of a housing crisis. These are families who have lost housing and are experiencing homelessness,
literally, or at risk of losing the housing they currently have. And so we help them through three programs. The first and most important is we want to preserve a family and housing at all costs. So we are very strongly working in our prevention program, uh, where we pair short term financial assistance with case management. But if a family does lose housing, we do have emergency shelter for families, uh,
They actually spend the night in our faith partners locations throughout Brevard County. Uh, the day, uh, location at the firehouse is really a day shelter for families. This is what that looks like.
families are coming to and from the firehouse. They receive services there where we're making sure that they can shower, store their belongings, that they, um, have storage that they can meet with case management, that they're working a plan to return to housing. But at night they're staying at faith partners that we partner with throughout Brevard ‸ County on weeks that we don't have faith partners who shelter them overnight. We actually are using hotels currently, but our goal is to, uh, engage enough faith partners back into the rotation that every week of the year is filled by a, uh, church partner. Uh, example is we're working to see,

they'd like to be involved. Uh, last year at the firehouse, uh, we served nearly 2,500 families to put it in perspective. When we were in, um, Rockledge, we served about 375 families. So that ability to serve more, uh, people and our greatest, uh, or most, uh, distressed zip code, uh, just was impacted so greatly by the move.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:11:54–00:11:57 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
programming into stable housing. Again, we want families and housing. That's where they're going to build a stronger future. Uh, we do, uh, eviction prevention as one of our programs. I just wanted to give that, um, visual of what it looks like and how many families we're serving that. We work alongside other agencies that also have financial assistance like community action team.

do all we can to help families directly. But if we're not trying to work together with other agencies that serve families, then we may be duplicating efforts that are, it's very costly.
So a lot of our work has been, how do we bring partners into the firehouse so that if, uh, family when they come for services has all of the services that they need in one building. So they're across the hall and not across the ‸ county. These service, uh, agencies are located in the firehouse so that residents of Diamond Square could access these services at any time. Uh, if they're facing the need for childcare for future for financial planning for
little bit about elevate Brevard. Brevard. An example of this is future future ‸ plan financial offers financial planning for households that earn less than $80,000. You know, most financial planners won't touch somebody that earns that, um, revenue per year.
us. We donate the space to them. They provide services. There's an upcoming workshop next Monday, free to the public, free childcare, free food. And he's going to come help, uh, talk to families about and residents in general. It doesn't have to be a family about breaking the paycheck to paycheck cycle. So we believe that this is a great, uh, offering to the community, but we need to hear from the community. Is this something the community wants to see? What more could we be doing there?
trust. So when we moved into the firehouse, I know, um, few people knew family promise. Many of you may have never met me before. I recognize that the way that we're going to build stronger relationships is just to show up and keep showing up and keep showing up and keep

um, we meet with these partners and we talk about what's working, what's not working. How can we, uh, address the gaps that we're seeing and how can we do better working together? And
Um, each of these partners will offer to host, we share our resources and we just have conversations. It's a great organic meeting that creates a lot of opportunities to build trust amongst partners. One of the outcomes of that group is something called asset mapping. We're actually starting
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:15:31–00:15:35 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
How do you know what we need if we don't know what we have? So we spent a lot of time trying to create this kind of interactive platform different than two on one. It's not a database of just information.
the platform so that when you're looking or the residents are looking for resources, they're real, they're up to date. They have ‸ the current person's contact name and contact number. And you can refer with confidence that this is going to go through to that person because a lot of times there's frustration about not able, not being able to access resources.
So I'm going to turn it over to Shayla because in our work, you know, there just came that time where we can serve as many families as we can serve. We can bring in as many community partners as we can. But if we don't really look upstream and try to create more opportunities for residents to build economic mobility, we're just continuing to see the same families. And so Shayla's been leading an effort called Elevate Brevard.

Tara said, my name is Shayla Marie Smith and I am the director of Elevate Brevard. The way I like to best articulate Elevate Brevard is we are truly a community partner and a community champion and advocate around education and employment opportunities. We're not necessarily a direct service provider, but it is our goal to really understand the lay of the land as it relates to education, the education and training opportunities here in our community. So when residents or community members have questions or even agencies have questions about how to educate a resident, that information is there. It's not hard to find. There are things that I've been trying to track down and as a master degree professional, I'm like, I am having a hard time figuring this out.

to run into millions of barriers as they're trying to figure out a path of success for themselves. So that's why we consider ourselves an advocate. Statistics show, and that's why this quote is so important to us, statistics show that an individual who has a higher education,

sort of certification, like think HVAC, plumbing, their chances of experiencing poverty are instantly decreased by having that education, which means they're not coming to Family Promise because of housing instability. So I always joke with Tara that it is my job to help put her out of business.

something like that. I don't know, but we got to put her out of business by getting more people educated. And that is the goal of Family Promise. We provide education and training to help families build their economic mobility and

Again, we are not directly providing that service. We're making it easier for the community to find those services. And then if we find services, for example,

that clinical work, they have to do right there on site. But if there is a, a, an individual here in Coco that could maybe just do the coursework at our firehouse, I want to create that opportunity. So that young lady or that young man isn't traveling to Palm Bay for the entirety of that session. They can do some right here in their backyard because we have a classroom right here in that backyard and

down to Palm Bay, it's a little bit easier. Or maybe even then we found services where there's gas, um, availability for them or there's some sort of service. So the more information I know, the more I can equip, uh, those service providers or community members with the information to make that process much more smoother for them because we want them to have success, whatever that looks like for them. Another way that we do that right here in our backyard is right at Coco high school. Um, the state of Florida has a goal that 60% of the population will have post-secondary education. So again, that's the AA or certification, right? In Brevard

to see that room filled up every day. And so we're really coming here to ask what do residents need, what should we be bringing into the classroom, what service providers can we bring in to use office spaces, the conference room.
something that people want to come to, that it's at a time that makes sense for folks. And so I want to just pause for a second to see if there's anything ‸ that you already have in mind that you'd like to see us bringing into the space.
Yes. So we have, we call our partner wing where we have Elevate Brevard, Early Learning Coalition, Career Source. Everyone, every partner in those offices is not there Monday to Friday.

‸ One question. Um, when it comes to the FAFSA for the students, um, for those who've never actually, oh yeah, that would probably be you. Okay. So for the FAFSA, do you actually provide assistance for that, walk them through the process or even those students who do not have parents, do you actually provide the one-on-one where you're sitting down with them and actually helping them to write out, well not write out, but to actually complete the full application and provide understanding with that?

offer. So again, it's not elevate directly hosting it. It's us partnering and collaborating with the experts and then bringing it to the community. Thank you.
My question is about the financial part of it. How does, how does that, uh, how do we access that? Uh, is it accessible to the community or is it just accessible to the people who come in your program?
The financial assistance. Yeah. So on the, the cards, um, the business cards, the QR code takes you to our referral form. Uh, we, uh, serve families with children that are at risk of losing their housing. So we consider it eviction prevention.
It's specifically for eviction prevention. Uh, so they would fill out that form. It's very brief. We tried to have low barrier to filling it out. If they need help filling it out, we can help them or you could help them fill it out. And then we're getting back to them, uh, to see how we can help. And there's some documents that we need, because it's a, it's a federal funding source. So we have to prove things like lease and employment and birth certificates, those, you know, documentation.
But during the pandemic that private funding got, it was exhausted immediately while we were waiting for federal funds to come in. But we're trying to build back, uh, private dollars again for financial assistance.
there's also the postcard I shared with you. I can leave you with more postcards. They all have the QR code that goes right to like need help and it, and they would just fill out that form and that's how they would access it. But they could also call us if they're not sure about the process. We have our phone number on the card as well.
Yeah. Quick question. If you don't mind me asking, once I turn in my application, not me, I'm just using myself as an example. When I turn in my application and provide you the documentation, how long is the wait process? How long am I in the queue before I go from application to actually some place to stay or housing depending on
It could happen within a week's period of time. If you have the documentation, usually that's what holds families up as they don't have all of it. And so we're working with landlords and family members to try to track down birth certificates or track down a lease or some something that they may have misplaced and trying to get it in place because we have to show that to the county when we get audited. For us, for shelter, it depends on how many beds we have available. If you've called and you need emergency shelter, we've moved families

we have a bed. What we try to do is problem solve with the family and do what we call shelter in place. Like, could they stay? Could you stay with whoever you're staying with if they know that you're trying to work with an organization like ours to rehouse yourself? Would they let you stay another week? Um, we do have some unique funding sources now also through Brevard County, um, public schools. Uh,
children in hotels while we do that problem solving. So we try to be as, um, open to funding opportunities that are what we would call pass-through funding or restricted funds that help families.

Uh, so thank you very much for bringing this to us and hopefully, uh, we can be a resource, uh, to you in regards to letting Diamond Square residents know about what's going on at the firehouse.

Uh, we've been working with the city for about a year and a half now on a variety of issues, and I'm looking forward to making this presentation for you tonight about our visioning effort on state road 520 us one. Uh, just really quickly. I know we gave the big community workshop right after your meeting a couple months ago. Was everyone present at that presentation?
So this is like, uh, the unofficial sequel then to this presentation. So I will, I'll give you a rundown of what the presentation covered. And then we do have an update of findings from the workshop and then an ‸ update on direction received from the city council. Uh, so I have the presentation this evening that we gave at the workshop. I'll run through that a bit quickly tonight since you all saw it already, but just, uh, we'll use it as a refresher. So we're currently working on a zoning land use compatibility
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:31:03–00:31:07 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
area shown, uh, in the hatches roughly starts run fisk and moves, uh, to the east to the us one intersection. Uh, what's happened there is that there's a, the consistency issue between the zoning districts of those parcels and the future land use designation of the parcels. Um, I'll go over what all that means in a couple of slides. Uh,
dotted area. And also the map that's to my right, it's a little larger shown here in the, in the yellow outline. Uh, it's the focus area of the larger study area. The reason being is that the four corners is the literal intersection of the cocoa CRA, the diamond square CRA also an entrance into the cocoa village and really
property ‸ owners. And the purpose for that intersection study is to understand the mixed use vision of the future land use designation that currently exists on those properties. And that also exists on the remainder of the properties in the larger study area. So I'm going to break down what all that means here over the next couple of slides.
either residential, commercial, industrial, mixed use. What those future land use designations do and what they mean, they're part of the city's comprehensive plan, which is the city's blueprint for growth infrastructure, et cetera. Comprehensive plan will tell you broadly what you can do with your property.
If you have commercial, you're going to develop as commercial. It also tells you how many units per acre you can have. It talks about your density. So if you have an acre and you can have two units per acre per ‸ land use, you can build two homes. That's to break it down simply. So this is a screenshot, uh, from the city's future land use map.
have a larger version here to my right. You can see the dot dotted blue. They're showing the larger corridor study area, the dotted red, the four corners. The light purple indicates mixed use future land use.
where you have retail on the bottom apartments up top. Sometimes there's horizontally mixed use where you have one property where you have maybe some commercial out front with apartments in the back, things of that nature. But you need zoning to support that. And so what is zoning zoning gets really specific. It's in the city's land development code where it tells you if you can build a single family home, you know, your typical detached house, or a multifamily building like an apartment, townhome, or when you go commercial, uh, the commercial route,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:34:09–00:34:13 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
same area of the city. And you can see those parcels have a CG, which is general commercial and red and a CP commercial parkway in light purple. I'm about to describe the challenge.
pedestrian friendly, uh, less auto oriented environment, compact walkable streets. Um, it creates an environment that may look like this mixed. This is kind of a general image of what urban mixed use development could look like in anywhere USA, where you have the retail, the non residential on the bottom floor, and then the residential uses up top. Typically you have much wider sidewalks
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:35:08–00:35:08 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
activating the sidewalks with cafe ‸ space, uh, more street based landscape. So you have a nice landscape buffer that's designed a little bit differently as opposed to where if you have a building that's set further back off the street and you have parking between the building and the roadway. The challenge here though, is the CP commercial parkway zoning district is not compatible in the comp plan with the mixed use future land use. And really what that means is the uses that are permitted in the CP, some of the, what we call the bulk requirements. So the setbacks,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:35:43–00:35:43 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
building heights, they don't play nicely with the policies of the mixed use future land use designation. They also encourage what we call auto oriented development.
could be a car wash. Um, but it could also mean just about any use you find in any, uh, traditional suburban environment. Um, that could be a drive through bank, drive through coffee shop, drive through restaurant, any, you can get stretches as far as to say, when you have a building that's set really far back off the street and you have a large parking lot in front, I don't, we don't really consider that pedestrian friendly because the building is so far back that to walk through from the pedestrian ways to that building, it's more directed toward the auto user.
but it also tells us what zoning districts are compatible with certain land uses. So on the far right of the screen, you can see the mixed use column and there's a lot of, um,
And so if I owned a piece of property, if you owned a piece of property within this study area and you had a zoning district that did not comply with the land use, you have a problem. So you have to either rezone or ask for a land use amendment.
Um, and the outcome could vary depending on, uh, the goals of the city's comp plan. Now it's not only, uh, regulatory issues that are, um, happening in that area. We also have a very large, unusually large right of way in state road, 520. It's about 200 feet wide, which is not actually unusual for a corridor like this that handles a lot of car traffic. Um, people are coming in and out of the beach areas coming from the north, coming from the south into this very specific area, Cocoa village. Um, it's, it's meant to receive a lot of traffic, but as a result that, as you can see on the overhead, a lot of the right of way has yet to be improved. You have a number of travel lanes, but you can see on either side of the street
‸ and I'm getting way ahead of myself and you'll see it in the slides later, that could be improved for pedestrians, for transit users, for general landscape,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:38:11–00:38:14 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
the existing conditions of the intersection. ‸ And what we did is instead of, uh, do sort of a, a straightforward zoning land use analysis, we wanted to make this more about urban design and what you can do with your city through proper regulations. And so
of improvement for the properties that are at the intersection is since you're at the presentation, the community workshop, you may remember this. We kind of pointed out some of the things that are happening with the existing ‸ zoning districts that in my terms don't play nice really with the mixed use, future land use category. And it has to do with buildings that are set a little bit further back from the road, sidewalks that are not very wide.
stop at this intersection, but you may not be able to tell it because there's only one little sign there. And that's a lost opportunity because you could have a bus shelter there instead, and you can protect people from the elements if they have to take the bus. And then as you go along, you can see in some instances, there may be uses that are not ideal for the area.
could use improved landscape. Um, this specific site it's operated as again, a very auto oriented use of car sales lot for a number of years. And we, uh, one thing we noted about this though, of the, of the four properties at the intersection. ‸ This one was like probably the most pedestrian friendly as it related to the pedestrian infrastructure that was directly adjacent to it, much of which was done recently because of the DOT project.
currently vacant, um, which allows for, uh, uh, a large area of creativity for redevelopment. But one thing I'll mention about that site is it has its own issues like most property. It has its own. There's issues either underground, above ground, easements access.
the intersection struggles with audio auto oriented uses that are not at pedestrian scale that does not encourage walkability, which from a neighborhood scale perspective is not great.
uh, as I mentioned. So if you needed to cross the street, you're having to push the pedestrian button, wait a while, and then cross very carefully, a very large right of way. So how do we, do we look at that as urban planners, urban designers, and bring about solutions to the code that may improve
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:41:07–00:41:11 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
which is as you're coming into downtown, it's a similar situation as it relates to traffic counts. Um, now this right of way, it's fully improved all pavement. Uh, it's, you know, a challenge if you're a driver or a pedestrian to get in and around this area. But what caught our attention about this intersection are two, uh, very standard users that you would see in any city in the United States, Starbucks and 7-Eleven.
how, um, users that you may not traditionally see develop in a manner that can be done that's more pedestrian friendly and more aesthetically pleasing, uh, for a local community. So in this case with, with the coffee shop where you typically see them set back a ways from the street and develop in a manner that's more focused to the, uh, to the car, in this case, they brought the building forward. And with that
improve the overall pedestrian and community experience. The same thing with this is, this is also a drive through Starbucks. And if you look through from the street, you may not be able to tell that you go around to the side street and you still can barely tell, but that little, um, punch out in the building, which has the different finish and the little canopy is the building's drive through.
this is how you can accomplish mixed use vision with, um, different types of zoning code requirements. So we're starting to think instead of having 25 foot building setbacks,
and you'll encourage landscape buffer strategies such as this one where you have a stem wall, what we call stem wall, which is this four foot wall here between the sidewalk and the car area to provide safety for the pedestrian. And then what we call context sensitive, uh, landscaping where you have the overhead power lines there. You certainly don't want to plant large trees under that because come storm season, the power will ‸ go out or the utility companies will come in and do a terrible job cutting the trees around the power lines,
And then across the street from that Starbucks, we wanted to show yet again, another very auto oriented use of 7 11, how they, how that business has gone about, you know, formatting for more urban environments, formatting more for pedestrians or the aesthetic of new urbanism or the buildings brought to the front.
design types on the, on the structure. And in this case as well, they've located their gas canopy behind what we call the front facade of the building. So it's still visible from the street, but if you were to see kind of a site plan of this, the facade, or rather the canopy sits behind that front wall, which is rather unique for gas station users. This is another view, of the building from the other side street. And you can see the different finishes and materials they've used on the building. They've gone as far as, and this has become popular just about everywhere is wrapping those utility boxes that are out in the right of way for the traffic signals and such.
that again, have drive-throughs are very auto oriented to show that they can do things. If they are the, you know, eventual end user of a site somewhere around here, they can do things that will

just happened to drive past these buildings the other day coming back from meeting. And on the other side of the street is a foxtail coffee shop, which is pretty popular in Orlando. They've done the same thing.
building's out towards the front. They have an activated, uh, sidewalk cafe space, and they do have a little drive-through that's behind the building. And so it's a new unique, exciting ways to think about redevelopment, but it all has to occur in the codes first before they can happen.
jumped into the land development code, the city of Cocoa, and we started playing with the CG, started to play with the CP a little bit, what can be done as a result of that?
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:45:56–00:45:58 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
but we wanted to show how you could take some uses and through proper code, uh, code compliance and proper code, uh, creation. These uses can happen at this intersection. So this is the north west corner here. This is a typical gas station render. And again, we just wanted to show what could happen if you put in codes that allowed for buildings to be brought to the street. If you require certain building architectural standards to be met.
it is our, uh, render person put in a covered bus shelter, uh, to the left and they've fully activated the right of way with meandering sidewalks and improved landscaping. So that's what I meant earlier when you have this, it, the right of way, the way it is now, you kind of have like lost opportunity areas because we certainly would like to avoid it all being pavement. If it's, if there's going to be pavement, let's do a sidewalk and let's improve the landscape.
church. We're not suggesting the church be touched, but that building that's right at that intersection there. Again, this is kind of your standard retail space with building enhancements and codes that, um, allow for a unique redevelopment opportunity where the building is brought to the street and the landscaping is activated and the southwest corner of there, um, a very high opportunity site and it's your typical here kind of retail strip building where you can kind of see anywhere in Brevard, but again, brought to the street, um,
if design was done a certain way. And now we of course know that there's a lot that goes into pedestrian, um, activation and aesthetics beyond just building the streets forward. You also have to have safe connectivity, uh, and other, uh, connections into the surrounding neighborhoods. So now we're getting to the, uh, recap of the workshop. So leading into it, um, we sent approximately 1800 public notice letters. The image that's on the right of this is the workshop flyer that staff put together. Um, they also put this image on the city's website and created a special event page on their Facebook
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:48:17–00:48:19 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
we had a little breakout sessions, uh, with members of our staff from RBI to talk through, um, different areas for improvement on boards that we have. And
of the land use board. And so our intent on this was to say, okay, let's think about land, the actual land uses that you may want to see at this intersection. And so you can see, you know, very large mixed
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:49:14–00:49:14 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
can see that gas station or rather the, um, the car wash at the top, right. And then you kind of, as you work your way down, coffee shop, gas station, food truck park, and then your, um, strip retail building. And you can kind of see the green means great.
And the yellow is neutral. And so you can see, uh, where the respondents, uh, you know, place their, uh, considerations where it's pretty heavy. The nose were pretty heavy on very specific uses, such as gas stations, um, even the coffee to the left. And when I, when we're looking at the one at the top left, which is the mixed use building over the next couple of slides, it's, it's interesting that response, because we actually receive feedback from folks that they do want to see mixed use buildings. I think with this image, it's the height that became the problem. Uh, because as you can see in this
‸ that's kind of the, the max ‸ where we were getting from folks is, you know, three stories is about as high as you want to go, but to be able to achieve that vertical integration of mixed uses, that's a good thing. As you can see on that, the first bullet point on this slide.
service based uses, which are huge, uh, for neighborhood availabilities that just have those very basic everyday needs, uh, barbershop, salon, medical space, grocer, daycare, etc. You ideally want those within like a five minute walk, uh, of, of any community. And
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:50:56–00:50:56 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
So this is, uh, ‸ when we're talking about walking, riding our bikes, taking a scooter these days, how you want that to look, how you want it designed. And yes, there was just general positive support of using those right of ways, the extra space, um, to move people in a more efficient and comfortable manner. One thing that, uh, I thought was a great takeaway.
was a second bullet point on this slide is the sensibility to the fact that the roadways are also arterial corridors that connect the region. So it also has to work for cars. So it's creating that delicate balance, which is the ongoing struggle with transportation improvements is we are an auto oriented society. Everybody has a car or cars, so we still have to get them in and out, but we also need to make it safe for the folks that do walk
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:51:41–00:51:44 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
to connect stone street across the rail lines and into cocoa village. But then the flip of that, uh, was the lack of support, uh, that we heard from some folks and it was an aesthetic issue, but also, uh, the issue of trucks, uh, being able to try, uh, across the intersection now out in the Orlando area. Uh,
certain areas, which are crazy expensive. And they also create something of a safety issue, uh, because you have, there's some blind corners in those ‸ underpasses. They put mirrors there. So that way, if you're running or biking or whatever, you can see if there's somebody hanging out down there. Um, this was the streetscape slide. So it's part of mobility, but it also focused on, excuse me, uh, also focused on the design of the street. So that's a two part equation, mobility and streetscape, because it's one thing to just throw down a sidewalk, but you also want it to be aesthetically pleasing and shaded and you want to have places to sit,
You know, if you're on a long walk, um, or a bike ride. So the ultimate recap is there was broad support for enhanced design standards, providing for a variety of

which is part of the reason why we're here this evening. This is also the urban design slide. So you can see here, you know, really we're talking building finishes now and we're talking about placement of buildings. You can see just the general positive feedback of the imagery that was placed on this slide. Also to my, uh, what I enjoyed about the bottom right hand side was the way the sidewalk and landscape islands were, uh, brought in together
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:53:36–00:53:40 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
back to what I was mentioning before about that mixed use building and kind of the mixed feedback we got on that we can, uh, kind of lean into this first bullet point on this slide and not to exceed three story building heights. I think that kind of tells the story is yes, do the vertical integration of the uses, but don't go any taller than 35 or 40 feet.
encourage the old floor to architecture, which I'm sure is a subjective opinion. Um, we could talk about architecture all night long about the pros and cons of certain designs. And that's certainly something we'll work with, uh, staff on, um, encourage parking in the rear of the building and then
So this very specific example piece of feedback ‸ received was utilizing downtown St. Petersburg. They've done great things, um, over the last decade or so. There's plenty of options that we could look at for places that have taken, um, ‸ areas that were not walkable or pedestrian friendly, or maybe struggled getting to that next level,
to see how we could do that in this area. And then the provision for street art, which is such a huge positive in, in any community. Now, this last bullet point, or this last slide, this, this top bullet point, I've made a, a point of mentioning this. Someone wrote
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:54:54–00:54:56 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
of Cocoa that can act, you know, maybe as a gateway into other areas, but this intersection specific specifically is the gateway into Cocoa and should function and be designed as such. Um, again, have the CRAs be involved, look at pedestrian connectivity, and then

the north side. However, if we're going to start talking about landscape design, right of way design, we of course want to work with DOT and the property owners across the street to make sure it's a continual design process for the entire corridor. So ultimately, um, divisioning supported mixture of uses, um, a new type of design strategy along the, along the corridor and along the intersection.
We have these five recommendations, which are on the overhead right now. And this is going back to the technical part. So we've moved away kind of from the fun visioning aspect and getting into the weeds of the whole reason why we did the activity.
I was mentioning that earlier, how the zoning districts don't comply with that mixed use vision. So what we can do there is just make those zoning districts part of that land use, um, category. That's easy. But what we want to make sure we do as part of that is create an overlay, because as I mentioned, the current zoning, the, the, the division of those zoning categories doesn't really go with the mixed use vision that's in the comp plan.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:56:35–00:56:38 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
we can really get in and start providing for design standards, permitted uses, prohibited uses, and special exception uses that help the community achieve its ultimate vision of that mixed use pedestrian friendly walkable area.

this. They were not aware of a lot of these challenges and issues, um, that we've unearthed with everyone, as part of this activity, and the folks that we've talked to so far seem very open to continuing conversations. Speaking of coordination, continue to coordinate with Space Coast Area Transit on bus shelter improvements and encourage use of public transit infrastructure and maybe future improvements. ‸ And then once we've kind of moved through those four initial items,
because that area also needs similar type of work. So that's the conclusion ‸ my presentation a lot of information but I'm happy to take any questions or receive any comments you may have. Thanks so much.
because ultimately he's just renting those properties out. And so if the this type of work encourages others to invest more money in the properties and redevelop it, to redevelop in ways that may basically enhance his bottom line, he's all for ‸ He was more concerned about eminent domain issues from DOT which at this point is not part of the conversation the property that's at the southwest corner, they've been in discussions with the city about redevelopment plans. We continue to talk with them to encourage them to look at solutions that are more along the outcome of the visioning
and Steve if I can just to really oversimplify this, the city controls what ultimately goes on those properties through the future land use designation and the zoning.

‸ I have a couple of questions I talked to you back on August 5th yes sir you did the downtown CRA ‸ that southwest corner is a challenge that the city staff tell you how many people had turned down businesses on that corner?
like with any study, tell us what else may be on your mind with something like this. Are there other things that you do want to see, ‸ don't want to see? And we were directed as part of the overlay to not allow for car washes, smoke shops, ‸ liquor shops, or gas stations at the intersection. So that's something we'll be integrating into our land development code recommendations. so with that we've been talking to that property owner about the needs of the community the desires of the community we encourage them to come to tonight's meeting last week's meeting

the meeting before that they're aware of the study they're aware of what our recommendations may be at this point I say maybe because we have to go through the whole process still but
that the desire of the community is to have community based uses their neighborhood based uses at the site it's a work in progress we haven't seen anything come through I would say within the last four or five months
building uses or business types that the council does not want I think you guys would be pretty consistently in agreement with those things or they were

a very brief personal note I've lived in Sanford Sanford area for 17 years now and have been close with the planners at that city for a real long time. And what they've achieved
It's turned around, but it's a lot of food service uses. It's a ‸ atmosphere that you know if I may say it works for Sunday fun day but the surrounding community is kind of struggling with the impacts of that because you do have a historic neighborhood to the south where, you know, there's a lot of parking spillover. There's a lot of noise generated because there's a lot of bars. There's a lot of music generation. There's a lot of activities. ‸ a lot of events. And it just takes a toll on a community on a residential community after a while

I was at a conference last week where there's a company, they do kind of like the other side of what we do so we do planning studies we do you know pretty pictures if I may. They do the in the weeds market analysis, which is something we don't do. And they they look at a community and figure out what the demographics are and figure out ways to target very specific real retail users and something I took away from from that presentation is and I used to work for a local government for a long time, and this spoke to me pretty strongly, is sometimes on local government side, you can say, well,

users. They want to know, yeah, they'll they want to know who's within a quarter mile, but they also want to know who's within two miles, because depending on the type of user they are, they may be the type of retail use that's pulling in folks from in and around the greater community so I think that's an interesting takeaway because I think the the market study
of uses so I think you know what with this comes the ability ‸ to tell a story about the community, that if there are certain uses in mind, you tell the story a certain way, and it attracts certain

that you, yeah, to the store. So that's walkable to you. But but for those who are living, it since we're talking about Diamond Square as aas a border, really,
whether it's residential mix or, you know, something there that they can just stop in on their way home to buy something, uh it's gonna ‸ be important that it is done right um it's interesting when I went to the first meeting
you know I mean you stop there you gotta wait forever to get across you know it's just you know and I hadn't quite figured out what they're doing on the other side there with the with the streets but
but that intersection is a very open intersection that says you know this is Cocoa I realize why this was chosen as an intersection thank you for your presentation I don't know what it is we can do overall to assist in this I've been kind of hoping that there were other areas in diamond square that could have this type of workshop where we talk about mixed use because I definitely you know looking at this kind of put a light bulb in my over my head that said you know hey we need to look at some of these other areas as in diamond square that we can bring back some of these same ideas for diamond square that other people can come into diamond square and discover what's there but I think starting on these corners is a great start

So whatever happens on that corner, then, um, city manager, it's going to be very important to me. Uh, and I hope the others here on the board feel the same way because right there on that corner, if it's going to spread whatever the new mixed use plan will be, and it's going to spread westward, then we really, then there's land there that lots of things can be on, you know, I mean, it

It's the gateway. Yeah. It's the gateway. You're, you're the, you're the gateway to the intersection. The intersection is sort of the gateway going west. So, so it's all interconnected.
And they, those uses, they all play off each other. That was a big talking point for these retail folks is you, you get one, all of a sudden the other ones are listening and watching because they all kind of work off of each other. So it, that kind of goes back to, you know, telling the story of the community and that's a huge selling point. There is, Hey, these guys have shown up.

doing that, that's a, that's a code enforcement call. And we, we've been pretty active in trying to, to, uh, to hold them to the aesthetics of the, of the community. Okay.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:16:09–01:16:10 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
next. So comprehensive plan amendment, start going into the land development code to create the four corners overlay, um, start putting together the list of permitted, prohibited uses, et cetera.
a lot tonight. Any other questions, additional questions from anyone? If not, we'll move into our final, um, presentation for the evening, which is the planning division.

code, uh, to promote new single family development within Diamond Square through the revision of the requirements of the RU one seven, uh, setbacks for properties located within diamond ‸ square. So it's kind of a nice compliment to the prior presentation where we're talking very specifically about the zoning districts and what the zoning requires of a property, um, on the overhead is a map that staff generated that shows the, the whole diamond square CRA area. And it highlights the properties that have the RU one seven zoning district. And so you can see it's essentially all of the non commercial properties within diamond square.
what's happened is, and this is very common, um, for neighborhoods that were platted many, many years ago. Um, it's a thing you can see all over the state of Florida where

Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:18:44–01:18:44 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
So very complicated from a process perspective on the overhead with staff is they created this typical lot layout, um, ‸ which would show, uh, roughly a 60 foot wide lot, roughly a hundred something feet deep. And then your building envelope is kind of the area you could build in. It's not the a hundred percent size of the house was the area you could build in, um, with their proposed, uh, setback.
requirements of the RU one seven, your front setback is 25 feet. Your sides are eight feet each. If you're on a corner, one would be 15 and then the rear setback is 15 feet. Those, the proposed changes will reduce your front set back to 20.
because you don't have to worry about violations or variances, et cetera, et cetera, um, which will help save time and money. Um, staff outlined in their memo and in their presentation, the relationship
consistency with multiple goals, policies, and objectives within the comprehensive plan, the planning and zoning board and the city council, both unanimously recommended the changes, um, to the zoning code. Um, so this was brought forth this evening as an informational item.

Um, You may have 20 to 22 feet of pavement for the drive aisles and then four foot sidewalks, and then maybe another foot or two between the sidewalk and the property line. Um, so you're looking with the right of way. You're still probably looking from the front of your home, 25 to 30 feet to the street itself.
‸ It's, Oh, sorry. It's from the property line. And then when you go back 20 feet, that would be to the front of the house. And then your sidewalk from the property line may be, you know, a couple of feet. It's
Yeah. Madam chair. I think ultimately by relaxing, reducing the burden of the setbacks there, this, this will facilitate, uh, more building of housing over in diamond square and so square.
to make it easier for them to actually, to be able to build on those lots there. And so, so we think this is a facilitator of more, uh, residential building over in diamond square.
So as we, as this is accepted and is passed or whatever the next steps are to make sure that this is, the new standard, uh, this will flow into anything that we're beginning to do. Residentially. Okay. All right. Any more questions? Oh, ‸ Steve.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:23:44–01:23:45 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
All right. Thank you very much for your, both of your presentations. You've been very informative. And we look forward to you coming back to give us updates. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Uh, The first action item is to request agency approval of a resolution to amend the FY 24 budget in the amount of $8,000 to ensure that we have full funding available for the $10,000 diamond square program initiative. Um,
two program initiatives, one for the Alliance for neighborhood restoration and one for another, uh, organization set aside, uh, and decided upon by the board, uh, this spring, the agency decided they wanted to send out a second invitation to apply. And this summer, we released that invitation to apply for those funds.
which ‸ will be your next agenda item. Um, we would, because those funds from FY 23 were actually drawn in FY 24 from the approval from previous year, uh, we have to replenish those funds. And that's what this request is for, for $8,000 to replenish the contract services account in order to supplement any additional programs that you may approve later tonight.

Okay. I, I know some of you have seen some of the program, but I know there's a couple of new people. So we're just going to quickly go through it for the new people who were are not familiar with the program.
Okay. Okay. Uh, again, we're educating our young people. most of our students are, we're targeting kids in the diamond square area who are disadvantaged youth. So we say that education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world and to really come up from the environment. Okay. Overview and background.

what makes our program different from say Jolie Smith. We have an academic component because ‸ we feel our children need to, um, have that academic component so that they don't experience the summer slide.
um, because of COVID, because again, a lot of the kids were out of the brick and mortar building. They were home doing virtual school and virtual school was not working for them because the parents were not equipped to teach their children at home. And teachers were doing it by zoom, but, uh, the kids experienced 1.5 to two years of learning loss within this time frame. Um, and we saw the learning losses. So we decided ‸ to extend our school year through the summer to catch these students up. So that's how the summer program was
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:32:48–01:32:49 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
you know, each year we expand and we, we, we find what works and what's not working. And we just build the program. We're building, We're still building the foundation and really finding out what's working and what's not working for our students. And what we do know that works is we have to provide them breakfast because a lot of kids come to school hungry. We provide transportation. We go into the neighborhoods and pick these kids up. And that is how we keep our enrollment up. Uh, we served between 35 and 40 students this ‸ summer. And I think we had about 42 last summer.
but we just, again, the demand for the camp ‸ was, was very, uh, good. And, um, what we do is from, we serve them breakfast and from nine to 12, we do academics. They, they get reading, they get math. And, um, we serve them lunch at 12

So we give them that to, uh, pique their interest because they're not just going to come for the academics unless ‸ their parents make them. So, so, um, let me go to the next one. I think I got ahead of myself. Um, again, this is what, uh, the next one. This is our academic component in the morning, lunch, and then the field trips. And the arts and crafts and cooking classes and just different things that we did. Okay. evaluation.

is very expensive. So we're, we're trying to trying different things to make sure it's affordable and it's consistent. So we're still working on, on that component. Uh, the testing results, um, the kids come in, they take diagnosis. Now all of our results weren't consistent because there were days when kids missed, they may have missed pre-testing days. They may have missed post-testing days, but we gathered data on as many kids as we could. So the results can show
but that, and our, our data stayed ‸ improvement, stayed consistent. It was plus 1% as you'll see on another slide. And that was, I think you guys have seen this one before. Um, the background test data we didn't give you, but it was a plus 1% gain, even though there was some kids that showed losses, one or two,

kind of revised our budget some and, uh, everyone was, I think even all the rec centers were kind of cutting back. We got some, um, income from the parents, but very little. So this is what we did with our budget this year. We had to cut back on a few things, which is we did last year.
This year, we did it two days a week. And we did more arts and crafts and things of that sort. Um, visions and goals of the summer enrichment program. And these are some of our visions and goals. Uh, currently we do a four week, um, reading ‸ focus

We'd like to move that program to six weeks. And so we'd like to just expand it to six weeks, even if we did two, ‸ three week sessions, but we'd like to go to six weeks. Um, We'd like to target more of the Diamond Square community kids and just give them a preference or priority. Um, um,

percentage of our students are diamond square community students. And this can help sustain our summer program. Uh, again, we're dealing with a lot of disadvantaged single parent households, so they're unable to pay the camp fees. And so we, that's why we're asking for help. Um, and we currently employ two people who live in the Diamond Square community in our camp. So that's my presentation.

generic general. So we, we were looking to see where our camp fit into the four categories that they had on the front. So we just ‸ went for it because the categories were kind of generic. So it didn't necessarily say education. Um, I think it said improve the economic plight of diamond square citizens. One of them was, so I think we just stuck close to that, but there was nothing that really fit what we were doing. So I would say it could have been a little bit more specific. Uh, even if you had the four, the main categories, and then you have some examples underneath that so that we could kind of target our, our grant toward it.
I would say more specific, I guess in talking to Ryan, I got what I needed, but it was like, okay, how do, how do you fit this? So I kind of dialogue with him as far as what needed to be, how it needed to be worded. You feel more comfortable this year. I feel more comfortable this year. This year is much better. Okay.

showing, um, the tests and the process that they're taking to show the ones that go up and down. The only thing that crossed my mind is when you said it, that
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:44:17–01:44:18 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
of that area. So I was kind of a little concerned about that. Um, I know you, you say transportation and, and some of the other areas, but I was looking for material. Curriculum.

‸ Any other questions, concerns? And maybe now we are ready to determine if we are now, this is a reimbursement at this point. ‸ That's what I was trying to, yes.
then professional services is more of an agreement of which they have to follow what's in the plan and what is in the agreement as far as what ‸ is set aside in the agreement. And for instance, the Alliance for Neighborhood Restoration is a public services agreement with, with Alliance for Neighborhood Restoration. And they have specific goals and objectives that they must meet in that agreement in order to be reimbursed for their funds.
than it is the public services. Because once you use the word grants, you have to follow state guidelines. And so there's other avenues that we have to meet those requirements, uh, in order for reporting purposes in all of our documents.

contract, which included some minor modifications to the scope as well as an overhauled reporting system. Uh, uh, we simplified the reporting system for her for the monthly purposes to, to one report. Uh, we had multiple reports that she was, uh, in required to submit to us to, uh, satisfy every month's agreement in order to re be reimbursed for her activities. And so we, uh, modified that report to make it one report only for her to, uh, better fulfill the obligations of the agreement. And so staff is requesting approval of the agreement to the contract for 2025 in the amount of $35,000. And Ms. McLaughlin is here, uh, present and has asked to speak to the board and you have been given a handout of what she wanted to discuss.
compile all of our information, all of our stats and program progress. So, uh, you will have that. That in the presentation, but in the meantime, um, staff does receive a report from us every month. So if you have any questions based on what I'm about to request, of course, they'll be able to substantiate whether or not, um, the request is eligible for an increase, which is why I'm here.
wanted to give you a little snapshot of, uh, Alliance for neighborhood restoration and what we do. Uh, we're currently working on a website and some, uh, brochures. And so this is basically the message that we share in our marketing tools, uh, with, with the community. We were established in 2001. Uh,
It plays a vital role in a collaborative and inclusive partnership dedicated to serving the community's needs. ‸ With a focus on the city of Coco's diamond square RDA and
the partnership provides leadership resources, training, and opportunities that enable local youth and families to improve their quality of life and attain self-sufficiency. The Alliance for neighborhood restoration with its emphasis on youth services and community ‸ building manages and coordinates an array of programs, projects, and events. These initiatives include youth
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:53:06–01:53:17 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
I shouldn't use the word grant. Um, there has been an increase in participation across all programs, which can be credited to our outreach initiatives in the diamond square community. The current economic conditions have also resulted in an increased operational expenses and have created a demand for additional staff. So that's basically what brings me here tonight. And if you have any questions regarding, uh, our increases, a couple examples would be, um, this summer as opposed to last summer, we had 23 young people in our youth employment training program, um, that graduated in, uh, on August 2nd, uh, 13 of those young people were from diamond square and seven, uh, from district two, one from district four and one from Rockledge.
kids in partnership with the police department. And they had a camp of about 33 young people and 22 of them were diamond square youth. Uh, ‸ we actually started in April, uh, doing the outreach so that we could fill that camp with
We also had an increase throughout the year in our after school program, um, of the 15 youth that were, um, registered all of them, except one was from diamond square. So we've taken the opportunity, uh, to get out and do the outreach necessary. Uh, we of course use social media, texting, uh, word of mouth. Uh, we also knock on doors. So it takes all of that. Also, we have, uh, registrations at Jolie Smith, where we have registration for basketball and we do an outreach effort there to bring kids in from the local community into the gym. And then once they get there with
they also take advantage of all of the other activities that are available to them through, uh, um, um, the parks and recreation. So it becomes a safe place for them to go. So that partnership works well. We were able to work with parks and rec, uh, this summer, uh, uh, when some of our, uh, locations were not available for
program. Oh, we also took 13 young people to ‸ Disney. Uh, uh, now that that group probably doesn't reflect, uh, the makeup of diamond square, uh, simply because they've been there for three or four years and we just started really working. To, uh, sustain our programs and make sure that we reach out and bring the kids in and do whatever is necessary to keep them in the leadership programs. But that, that leadership program is a little bit more difficult. It's not as easy as youth employment training where they have a, they have a stipend. And because we had a great year with the, uh, Juneteenth festival, we were able to raise enough money to pay them a handsome stipend. So we had perfect attendance from all of the young people because they wanted to get their full stipend. Some of them didn't because they didn't fulfill some of the other obligations, but they did really well.
Uh, well, we all are, but, um, she's not there during the summer. She's there for after school two days a week, uh, throughout the year. And so other than Sanjay and myself, um, um, that's it. And then, then of course, Mr. McLaughlin takes care of the facility, but we're looking to bring another person on for after school. Um, right now we're looking at a college student, um, that has a background in, um, uh, working with children,
I think you said, this is to make it easier. This form right here looks like you're running a, you're getting a half a million dollars to run it. This is a complicated form for two people. And I even look on up
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:59:39–01:59:40 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
her agreement that she actually provides us with all of that information. So we basically took what's in the agreement under the scope of the goals of the program. It has the different goals of that program, which are planning, implemented
a four week summer career readiness program, a youth leadership summit, crime prevention activities, the pal basketball program. Now under the reporting requirements, and these didn't change from, from previous agreements at a minimum, the monthly report shall include job locations, job titles, job descriptions, and hours worked monthly activity report, attendance reports, and deliverables
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 02:00:42–02:00:42 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
outlined in that. And then the following items must be submitted by the Alliance prior to any disbursement of funds, operational budget, copy of assessment, pretest and protest,
sign in sheets may be required. So, so all of this has not changed. We just put, we had multiple forms that she had to return all of that information to us.
multiple documents that she would have to have separate documents and submit separate documents. Now it is all on one document and it is inclusive of what's in the, the actual scope of services.

Now what happens when you get all her paperwork and these hours are more, more in one month. Then maybe in a February month. How do you balance that out with the,
that's a great question. And so what we, we have the knowledge of what her programs are, and we know that some programs are more intense in certain months than others. And, and so we know that based on her schedule that she provides us. And, and we've balanced the funds because that's how she has chosen to take the funds as part of this agreement is the $35,000 is broken up over the 12 months rather than on a, uh, prorated basis every month based on the activities.
So we kept it consistent in the agreement to be a more consistent number month to month. So knowing that she still will have activities that will go up and down.
boat, if it's not broke, don't fix it. So this is, you know, we've been proceeding under this sort of process for over 20 years, and it's worked fine. Because to answer your question, it's annualized. Obviously, like some months there might be

wise and which is what I'm hearing the attorney say, um, your best probably solution to, you know, this up and down is to average out what it is that you're doing and then, uh, give it a dollar value and then that will have a consistency across the board because no matter what the report itself takes hours,
no. So, you know, based on what it is that you have agreed to do for the money that you're receiving from us, um, you do have to give it a dollar value per month and then kind of, you know, uh, have consistency in that, you know, because the ‸ end result is going to be the end result, right? But consistency from month to month needs to be probably what the city needs to see in regards to making sure that you're reaching the goals that are met for the end of the month and the numbers

guess we'll sit in October, right? September. But the, one of the questions that was asked to her and it has to be about your percentage. You say how many ‸ kids you have. The question was asked to her, how much does it cost per child from down the square for her? How much does it cost per child for down the square for you? I'll provide you with that information. We have multiple programs
This year it was four weeks. Um, our youth employment training program is four weeks during the summer. And then it goes year round after, like, say for instance, we have a meeting September 7th, which is an orientation meeting. All of those kids will fall into a program where they're going to be meeting ‸ according to our objects, our, um, goals, goals and deliverables. They'll be meeting twice a month. Uh, and then they'll be doing, uh, um, volunteer programming. They'll be doing training. Uh, they'll be doing all sorts of things. So, uh, we'll be costing out those programs for you. Our afterschool program, we cost out to be about, uh,
‸ times $80 a week, then you will see how much we're expending on after school. Uh, same thing with basketball. Also, uh, with, uh, our leadership programs and trips and training. Um, so I really can't just ‸ answer that in one broad stroke for you, but you will have it illustrated.
So it might be a good idea. I, I don't know. I can't tell you all how to run your business, but for those who may not feel that I'm providing the same measurements as everyone else, if they got a copy, if the agency received a copy of what I provide monthly,
Well, one of the things we must as an agency really look at, I mean, you're talking about ‸ how much it costs per student, but you're talking about time. If one kid spends how many hours of training that person that's in that room with that kid, that's time, right? You know,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 02:08:41–02:08:42 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
person in that room ‸ that has been recipient of whatever the funds are, uh, for the program, please make sure that you are counting time because each kid represent time.
Um, yeah, we do that because our afterschool program runs from, um, two 30 to five 30. And so, and we have kids that are coming in from, uh, Endeavor and we may have

volunteer. And then also, uh, we provide meals. So we only have one hour to provide meals, um, because it's set up that way. So if we provide meals between three 30 and four 30, then they have to be fed. So we have a staff member that does that, uh, exclusively ‸ or volunteer.

or February, uh, we have gardening that's going to begin, uh, in September. So, you know, we'll be talking about, you know, those things and art is year round. Um, and if I say must say so myself, I think we do a fantastic job with, with our programming and the, and the resources that we have with the budget this past year,

there are going to be months when certain tasks aren't going to be on there and that's, which makes sense, but it, it really will detail the, the hours that she puts into the work that's involved in the program and how the kids are benefiting from this. We, we don't question what she is provided with to us.
so, um, she is very thorough with all of her reporting and, and the, the agreement as, uh, Mr. Colombo had noted, this has been a 20 year agreement and the monthly stipend is more, uh, sufficient for her in order for her to meet her payroll needs,
because, uh, one of the, one of the, um, I guess one of the goals of the weed and seed program was for this municipality to sustain and he wasn't willing to sustain, uh, from the city standpoint.

Uh, it is possible. We could finalize the budget, uh, in September. I mean, it, it, it would require a budget amendment, but, and that's not an issue when we can amend the budget.
Because with the new board members, it sounds like Ms. McLaughlin wants to do her annual presentation, have them informed, and then maybe they can make a more informed decision next, next month. That's just a suggestion.

remember it being a member of diamond square board when this park was first initiated. Mm-hmm. And I know that over the years we have not done a lot of investment in this part. And I think the, the objective here is to bring the park up to speed with new technology from what I'm.
personally in support of anything that would improve the environment of that park. Uh, like I said, we have not in the past done too many things with the park.

So, Madam chair, as we move into 2025, staff wanted to come to you to find out if there are any priorities that the agency would like to see for fiscal year 2025. Keeping in mind that we are in the process of revising our plan and enduring that, uh, meetings when we have our community meetings on the plan revisions that a lot of the. Uh, information that we'll learn about what we want to do for our plan will come from those meetings, which will enhance the priorities that we will probably have for fiscal year 2025. So moving into 2025, we can budget accordingly to, uh, in order to meet the requirements of Florida statutes, uh, in our plan that we budget accordingly for, uh, different infrastructure programs, uh, different safety programs,
