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.
710 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review; 2 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 34 voices separated from the audio.
67 short machine repair(s) (94 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 92.7% of 29,643 content words.
Dotted words (864 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
710 passages (21% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
Voice detected, no words recognized (2 stretches). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:
01:40:16 (7 s) — neither reading has words
01:46:08 (7 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.

transmission lines, and substations are examples. So we can generate and deliver electricity as quickly as possible. We then restore power to critical services customers depend on. Areas like police and fire stations, 911 centers, and hospitals. Then we focus on safely restoring service to the largest number of customers in the shortest amount of time until every single customer's power is back on.

would be your side streets. So that's how we start. We have to get the power plants back up and running if they're online Go to the transmission, work on the feeders, and then work on the laterals, which are in your backyards in many instances. Every year, we talk about, you heard the term, critical infrastructure.
and we discuss what is the most important facilities in Brevard County to get back up and running. Where can we send our crews after the wind stopped blowing 35 miles an hour so we can get the trucks out there safely and get them up in the air if need be? And that,

I wanted to talk a little bit about some questions and myths that you may have from a storm. And we're looking at the possibility of a double whammy this year.
two weeks ago, we had many crews we brought down here. We're well prepared to handle any storms. So the first question I usually get is when when is my power going to be restored? Well, within 72 hours, we should have a pretty good assessment of how we're going to do it and when your power will be restored. The second most question I get is where? I don't see your crew in my neighborhood. I don't see your crew in my city. And there's a reason for that. Because if I drove an FPL car through some neighborhoods, ‸ there would be people jumping on my hood and saying, it's just a tree in my backyard. If you go take care of it, I will have power. It's not that easy. so we use unmarked cars

The truck is just sitting and there's a guy in a truck, he's not doing anything. I'm trying to get his attention. A lot of times we have gps's in the truck so we know where they're at. Quite often they're told we'll hang out,
so you can go get that tree off, so you can start to rebuild the infrastructure to get the neighborhood up and running. um then the other one is why can't we put everything underground we're working on that now

properly start up a generator and not have a backseat and endanger our crews when they're out in the field. When you're buying food, things are happening in pets. And also, if you have a pet and you're worried about, well, I can't leave my pet behind, there are pet-friendly shelters. You can call the Emergency Operations Center and talk to them and find out what the locations are. Of course, medicine, insurance papers, and photos with pool chemicals.
relatives' home. Have you talked to them? Do they have COVID protocols? Uh-oh. One of us has COVID, so you can't come. ‸ Better start thinking about your plans ‸ now. Refrigerators and freezers, it's not a good idea once the power is out to open and close those. But what is a good idea? An empty freezer costs a lot more to operate than a full freezer. So if you have the space in there, now is the time to take a gallon jug, fill it three quarters of a week full, put it in there so it'll keep everything cool. And as it melts, you have cold water at least. Once the storm hits, it's not a good idea to have your teenager go over and stand at the door and decide what they're going to pick out because all the cool air is going to come out.
the FPL app. If you don't have it on your phone, I welcome you to get it. Also, I stay in touch with the cities and all the mayors and city managers and give them updates.
If a wire is down, the one thing I recall from science class is conductivity, that even an insulated wire in a wet condition after a storm, if it has a live power line on it, which is not insulated, it still could be live. So I would walk over and grab a snake and grab it by the back of its head to see if it was poisonous or not.

one question, if I can just send on this. A lot of people say, well, there's a tree in my backyard and I've got that service drop. The service drop is customer owned. We have to schedule an appointment. We can turn that off.

I live in a subdivision that has underground, but we're served by overhead down the main road. And there are more pine trees that fall over every single storm. It happens. All the precautions. And, you know, speaking of trees, we always get people that say, my tree fell on your line. You need to come out and remove it.

everyone is well. I'm coming before you regarding many issues ‸ that has occurred during the past few months. The first is to address the records violation committed by the city of Cocoa.
Hearn, as you just met, a firefighter and EMT home address and the address of his children was released during a records request. The police report filed by Mr. Hearn against Larry Sinclair was posted on Facebook, unredacted, by Mr. Sinclair, who has run a paid social media ad with the documents unredacted. And the ad has been shared over 70 times. Mr. Hearn is a victim and the city has assisted in putting a bounty on this man's life. That's 70 shares, not counting unknown screen shots. Judges qualify for records exemptions. However, back in July, a judge's husband was shot and her son was shot and killed. Records exemptions are in place for a reason. The city has failed to protect this citizen who was a victim. Some of you, which isn't here, sits on the dais pushing Mr. Sinclair's agenda and lying about giving Mr. Hearn toys for his children. How can you promote foolishness by a convicted con man? However, the agenda doesn't stop at the daisies either. I urge counsel to launch an investigation into this matter. Thank you.

stormwater issue. So last week we received the reports behind Winchester that there was some flooding occurring, especially after the, I think what you all had about a six inch rain on Tuesday. once we got that report, we responded fairly quickly, brought out
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:43:27–00:43:27 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
pretty large pump. The idea was to try to alleviate some of that water so we could start to identify what was happening back there. From there, we started coordinating with some of the other entities involved,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:43:38–00:43:41 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
neighboring HOAs, and trying to inspect some of the systems through there. Through that coordination, some modifications were made with the construction project, and that helped alleviate some of the water through those swales. Basically, that back sway on the 528 eastbound off ramp all of that drains through some pipes north of 528. And so it's going a long way through a fairly active construction site. And so we help coordinate some of those issues with those entities.
as well, to see what issues are going on in their systems, if there are any, and what we can try to do to help them. We've provided some recommendations to the HOA as well, identifying some maintenance items within the community, and possibly some modifications that could be made to to almost provide a level of redundancy within the community. And that way, if if someone else's system did fail, it would hopefully not impact the homes and allow it to route through the storm water system

aren't really involved in that. At this time, I wouldn't recommend the city perform that maintenance, but Ii would consider us to continue to be an advisor with with the HOA and work with those entities and try to troubleshoot some of that. We'll perform any type of courtesy inspections that are needed. We can also work with contractors that are hired and try to provide advice because we know it's hard for HOAs to hire that type of work. The issue that we have in performing that type of work is the city is almost acting as a general contractor for a private entity, and that opens up liability issues for us, and it also opens up the ability for for other private entities to ask us to perform work. Typically, that's going to be asked around this time of year, which is our busiest time of year, and it would pull our resources away from our general duties toto have to commit to those private entities. um Like I said, though, we are going to continue to try to track this down. We're working with FDOT.
We'll continue to monitor ‸ that. We believe that one of the older berms in the back near 528 may have breached due to the high water, and so we'll work with them to try to identify what can be done to help solve that problem in the future.
don't see any pumping going on. So that's a concern right now. um Today when I was coming home off that exit, there's there's a big heavy equipment that looked kind of like a backhoe, big bucket with it and They were just washing around lots of water and weeds and stuff like that. So my concern is
Yeah, i understood. and And if we need to respond the way we did, we'll do our best to do so while this is being figured out. Like you said, there's there's a lot of different players involved in this. And
just go fix our problem. right That's a lot easier for us to do. But when we're having to coordinate with all these other private and and other public entities, it makes ‸ a little more complicated. I

They pay fire assessment fees. They pay stormwater fees and so forth and so on. And my thing is, we got an issue here that's involved in about three or four homes. And um
and so forth and so on. And i I think in an emergency situation like this, I don't know what communication we've had with the HOA. If there is anything that ‸ we can do, looking at the cost to go ahead and kind of mitigate some of those those issues for now. and uh But moving forward and letting them know that, hey, this is your responsibility, but we're doing this to straighten this out. Because we're just talking about a basically a berm, you know, they help redirect some of the storm waters back there. uh they prevent, hopefully prevent um these these three or four homes from flooding. I'm on board with doing that for for any any resident. Because um if you hadn't gone through it with your homes being flooded, then uh then that's not a good feeling. And and i I, you know, when I got the emails and then when I got there and I looked at the situation, man, I had a lot of concerns. And I can understand where they were coming from. So, but I mean, ‸ good faith. um
which shouldn't be a major deal for us. And then moving forward, they know that they need to take care of this. Is this something they need to do and coordinate with their HOA and saying, hey. And and I just wanted to get a consensus from the council and see what the

and reconstruct that. There are some blow points back there, though, that even when it a normal rain, it will hold water for a period of time. But it would stop taking that water from 528, if that's where it is coming from. yeah
and so we want to confirm with them if they can do some modifications on their side very quickly and knock it out that'd be great but if if we need to bring up some dirt that's not a problem we just don't want to be in a position where we're reconstructing oh yeah okay system well I support it.

yes sir actually uh going back a few years with my involvement with this i believe it was during hurricane irma The subdivision was suffering from similar issues, and it was determined at that time that thethe gas easement on the back side of those properties had been compacted at the area where Bryant was talking about the conveyance from the toll authority, and so that water was being led into basically the backyards of those residences. So as late as this afternoon,
be working with those partners tomorrow uh to address that issue. And so, you know, if it's just uh bringing a few loads of dirt to assist in uh building that berm back up uh that's been compacted to prevent the water from coming back there,
you request staff to go in and uh perform maintenance activities on a private ‸ subdivision. uh There are many, uh it could be problematic uh from a liability perspective as well as future obligations, but uh we will certainly do everything we can do to uh remedy uh that issue as soon as possible.

we took care of the water. But Brevard County needs to take care of the sewer. So, if she's still here, I would suggest that you contact Brevard County because we even though we build for these different services,
County for a credit for the sewer. um So, that's something that would help out that bill even more. uh Particularly with that bill, it was checked that
to kind of present to council and explain how leaders work. um and And any of these citizens that may have a concern um to be able to um understand a little bit of what's going on. Some of the things on social media, um like one person complained to the

but it was really a three-month bill and they hadn't paid the bill for three months. um And also with the other citizens who are having difficulty with their bill, number one, uh through this CARES funding from the federal government, Brevard County had assistance for people who were uh have been affected by the pandemic. That expired, I believe, June 30th. However, the city has gotten, uh and it's on this agenda, I believe,

But they will still have to go through an application process. So staff is going to be meeting next week to determine how that program is going to work. And then we'll put that information out on social media, ‸ city's website, and things like that. um And then I would just request that, I know it's very frustrating for these customers to receive a high bill, and customer service works very diligently trying to do whatever we can to reduce the bill. There's a lot of leniency, really, to reduce the bill. We have to account for the water that goes through the meter, but we take it down to the lowest rate that we could possibly take it down to um for that. And so I request that customers be patient and work with customer service. They are getting very frustrated. We had a customer

Other than I would follow up with what finance director. Rebecca said that, yes, we can definitely put together a technical presentation on how a meter works and how ‸ register works. I'll be glad to do that. We'll arrange that, and we'll probably get with Sam so we can blast that information out, get the right people who want to learn about it, and also ask ask questions. Yeah,
think I think education is really key if people are really willing to learn, because it is a kind of a little bit of a cool area, but we'll try to break that down so people can understand how the meter can, or how the register potentially can malfunction. And, you know, as folks in customer service know, most of the time it registers in ‸ favor of the customer. but But, you know, I don't want to say that and stir people up by simply oh yeah saying that, you know, over the tens of thousands of of gallons that flow through uh and so on, but that's, you know, where the numbers often lie. um But we can go through all of the technical aspects of how they function and how they typically, you know, fail. So, thank you so glad to do that. Okay,

Hi, Council, Mayor. um We just wanted to get a consensus from you all on how we want to move forward with the grand opening celebration for the center. um If you recall, I was here about a month ago. And we convened our committee that is working on planning the celebration. um And their consensus was to hold off a little bit because of the increase in cases, um especially locally and being that it is an indoor facility. um So, we said we would postpone for about a month um and come back and get your your consensus on moving forward with planning the event. So, that's what we're here today. um I did reach out to our committee members. I did receive three um emails ‸ back.
but give it like six weeks to plan something. um And then we had most, the other two comments that I received back were to hold off for another month and come back to council um for a consensus

it will be indoor and outdoor. There were component outdoor components that were discussed in the committee as well, um which definitely make it a lot easier for social distancing purposes. But when you're indoors, it is a little bit more difficult to do so. um So we would definitely have to come up with some sort of plan about putting limits on how many we could have in the building at a time.

having some components of it outside. I know we talked about different sports activities and different things we can do. so yeah, there will be portions of the opening outside, but you want to show off the new building for sure.
get inside as well. So we, you know, it's, it's not impossible. But we would definitely want to put some sort of limitations on how many people so we can really monitor that social distancing aspect and make sure people aren't crowding inside. That's
gonna ‸ be very difficult because I think a lot of people are very excited about this building, um and to limit it may hurt us more than anything because we don't want to limit anyone from enjoying this, um you know, that's like that's a beautiful building. um So maybe we could do something outside and then do what we talked about as far as inside activities as far as the celebration later on and
you madam okay so uh just one report uh this is related to brevard county parks and rec they put on the annual holiday parade coordinated between coco and rockledge and uh they're trying to they begin the planning effort uh actually now and
parade which is in december um i know it's very early to consider any sort of cancellation postponement modification um it would be my recommendation that we continue with the uh advised brevard county to continue with the planning efforts uh to create a socially distanced kind of event and uh monitor the case counts as we approach uh december and make a decision closer to that time i mean we're several months out at this point um but just looking for uh city council direction on how you'd like us to respond to them on that

It's been through hurricanes, and it has hung in there, and you know what? They have worked with that tree. They have worked with the curb. They have cut it out, and it provides three essential things. One is this shade on a very sunny street. Two, it absorbs stormwater, and believe me, they have a lot of rain there,
And three, it is sucking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. And, you know, during the Industrial Revolution and, ‸ you know, since then, of course, ‸ they had ammunition factories there, and I'm sure they had a lot of that as well. So, this provides some essential ecosystem services. So, I just wanted to show ‸ that to you. That's not just the only tree. There's a whole line of them like that, and you'll find them in New York as well.

I just had one thing. I know Mr. Dennis came in when we was talking about the over-policing issue. I've been going back and forth ‸ with Chief for a long time, dealing with just having a discussion ‸ about policing in certain areas. Me and Reverend Dennis argue a lot on the phone. And sometimes it gets very exciting at times. But, you know, I love him to death. And I really didn't want to talk about it, why he's not here, because I don't like talking about an issue when someone is not in place. But, you know, here we are. So, he said two things. We have

All of these places that I call all my life is Prostitute Alley. So, in Prostitute Alley, you have poverty and you have drugs that go hand to hand. So, when someone speaks about over-policing, the citizens that live in that community don't feel the same way.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:21:50–01:21:53 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
they're tired of seeing drug overdoses. They're tired of seeing shootings in their neighborhood. So, a lot of times you get people that don't live in those neighborhoods speak negative about policing, but at the same time want the police to stop the crime. That doesn't go hand in hand. If I'm doing something I have no business, police are going to be a little bit frustrated that they're around. But I don't do crimes, so I don't have an issue when I see police. So, the citizens call me, going off on me, about police ‸ not being in certain areas. And then the police get someone coming who doesn't live in the community to say that you're harassing those same people. So, you see the confusion that sometimes the police go through as well. It's confusing.
I call chief and say, hey, look, we have an issue on this corner. I'm not saying go ask for everybody ID, but just show your presence. Because, again, the citizens that are doing good things need to be able to enjoy their property. You have ‸ citizens like
He can't even have a family gathering at his house because he's scared if you invite people that people might start shooting randomly in the daytime. He's scared to bring his grandmother or his aunt from out of town because you might see a fight in the middle of the road. These are the things that people that live in the neighborhoods have a problem with. Again, we don't want harassment, but we need visibility. And that's all that I have taught the chief about. I don't, I don't, I'm like I always told him, I'm not a police officer. That's not what I do.
I do construction work. That's my field. So I don't tell them what to do. But I do suggest things that when citizens call my phone, I make that phone call. So when we talk about over policing,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:24:20–01:24:20 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
And that's all I ever told chief. And I believe he took it in good faith. I don't believe he took it like I was trying to bash the police. I commend the police for, ‸ especially the good ones for doing the job. She's like the young lady that came up and spoke about it. I commend them. But I do have an issue when we have some police officers where they don't feel the value of certain communities. That's the issue at times that we have. Again, I love the good ones. I love them to death. But sometimes some, some police officers get a different type of attitude depending on what community they serve.
see people laying out on the concrete. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. But laws at times protect the people that are doing wrong. They can't even go in the public park and remove people.

That's all. So, Chief, I know at times people come down on you, but, ‸ you know, much is given, much is required. That's how it is. You take the good with the bad.
and stuff. But, just like yesterday, I couldn't make yesterday, but I commend the police for being there for the prayer walk. That was a beautiful thing. I couldn't take my son out because it was raining, so I couldn't go. But we have one of the best police departments when it comes down to community involvement.

Thank you, sir. Is that it? First of all, I want to, Thank you. Thank everyone that part of the prayer walk yesterday. Excellent event. I mean, it was rainy out there, but it was a good walk. And a lot of pastors out there praying for our city, praying for our country, praying for our communities.

everyone that was there. I want to thank Brian and his crew for addressing the flooding issues and your response to the flooding issues out there at the Winchester,
and monitoring as well. So, and then as well as some of the other floodplain issues that we've had throughout the city. But ‸ with that being said, I'm going to move on to some stuff. I just, you know, since being elected in 2018, a lot of things have happened. A lot of things that haven't been talked about. A lot of things that I've never mentioned because I was elected to do a job. And I've tried to do that job from day one. Was met with a lot of resistance. External, internal. Even some that sat here on the diocese with me. And it's been a nightmare. We've had effort, we've made efforts where we've tried to clean up our city,
Every event ‸ and everything that we tried to do, we was criticized for doing it by certain individuals. But ‸ we forged forward. When we moved forward, we didn't let that stop anything that we were doing. In the midst of that, there was a lot of things that had happened that was happening behind the scenes that ‸ I don't want to talk about.
Things that would benefit our community. That was basically slow rolled as far as I was concerned. And it took almost a year for it to happen or for it to ‸ get back to us. And the list goes on. We were elected by the residents of Coco. We work for the citizens of Coco. That's our job. The city manager gets directions from the council.
we as a city move forward and they do everything they can to ‸ make those things happen. ‸ Whatever the case might be. But in a lot of ‸ cases, that just didn't happen. ‸ There was direction that was given, but nothing ever happened. And this should never happen. And I know that ‸ the city has their leadership team that they call a leadership team.
of that leadership team. We are all a part of that leadership team. ‸ But I get it. I mean, I understand that, you know, and I've heard that, you know, some people, some individuals and some staffers feel uncomfortable with council being around. That's one thing that I was told, which I never understood that because it never made any sense to me. Because I was on council before. And we all managed to work together. And we were a true team. We were Team Coco. And we worked together for the betterment of our community. But I don't get what's happening right now. I don't understand what's happening right now. I don't like what's happening right now. Because I've been accused of a number of things. And here recently, you probably just read, I heard the letter that was ‸ read from Mr. Sinclair. And I say Mr. Sinclair because I try to give him as much respect as I can possibly give him, considering some of the stuff that he's put me through personally and others up here on this diet. And some of our residents. But I just, you know, it comes a time when you've got to say enough is enough. I mean, what do we do? How do we protect our citizens? Because there are citizens out there being harassed. There are individuals that are pulling up to

Telling her that her son ‸ put a gun on him. And I saw the video myself. It never happened. ‸ He was basically harassing this gentleman. He's not the police in this area. He shouldn't be doing the things that he's doing. And I think that someone needs to step up before someone gets hurt. Because I can see it happening. It's just like enough is enough. We can't wait until the last hour and someone gets hurt before something is done. Because ‸ these are some serious issues that need to be addressed. And we need to take some action. But getting back to ‸ the message that he sent here. The email for the delegations and the accusations that was made there. I saw that letter. We all got that letter. I wasn't happy about that letter.
There was allegations and statements that were made in there. That I allegedly made to an employee. ‸ Things that I said to her never took place. Never happened. I don't know where that email came from. How it got there. But it's there. And this is not the first time this has happened. This is not the first time. There's been foolishness like this has been going on since day one. And all we've tried to do was our job. And try to move our city forward. And ‸ just make ‸ our city the best it can possibly be. And we have continued to do that. Without going to the media and letting people know actually what was happening behind the scene.
said, don't worry about that. I said, just move forward. We got a job to do. Let's do our job. ‸ This is going to be taken care of eventually. And so with that being said, that was my last straw getting that letter. Or seeing that email. Because I don't know what's going on behind the scenes. Sometimes there's something going on behind the scenes that ‸ for some reason, ‸ maybe I'm getting too close to something.

Drive. um there's another one at 2009 Ivy Drive. And one at 2226 Dartmouth Drive. um They're all oak trees. They're in the right of way They're causing damage to sidewalks, to curb and gutter, to the property owner's driveway. They were all addressed by the Planning and Zoning Board. The Board recommended denial of all three of them with a suggestion that like a rubber sidewalk be installed ‸ instead of the concrete. Our public works directors uh got more information for you on that. um And I'm not sure if the property owners are here. i'm I can't uh to answer that directly.

I just wanted to address the the rubber sidewalks. They've been used in quite a few places. Actually, where I came from as well, um the city tried those out.
From a maintenance standpoint, they typically don't reduce the maintenance. One area, Santa Monica, California is a good example. They're really one of the leaders in putting these in. They expected a maintenance period of about 7 to 10 years, which is still less than your standard concrete sidewalk, which has a life of 40, 50 years without people driving on it. They found that the maintenance period was actually about two years before they had to go in, remove the panels, grind the roots down

on on the staff to continually have to do that every two years. The cost of the mats is very high as well, typically around three to four times the cost of replacing concrete.

on what damage that could do to a tree. If we need to, we can cut the roots back. The preference would be to completely remove the root under the sidewalk. Typically, when you you grind over the root a few inches down, within a year or two, you're back with the same issues, removing and replacing those concrete panels. thank

Council members, good evening. This is in reference to the three requested submitted for tree removal to the planning and zoning board at the last pnc meeting held on august 5th 2020.
to deny all three requests after reviewing only the first two. Some comments made made were that the trees did not create the damage to the sidewalk and or the driveway, that the damage was possibly from heavy vehicles ‸ parking on the sidewalk or driveway. As the sole vote against this motion, I felt it was made without given given each request the full attention they deserved. As a member of the PNC board, I take my responsibility to serve seriously and without a hidden agenda, as it was suggested in the meeting. Residents have been given a process in which they can submit a request to have a tree removed. and As a board, we have the duty to review all requests and the information provided

input was from other board members that felt just as strong about saving the trees there are ways to work around it and i highly respect the information that mr bryant uh had said uh in reference to that being an idea or a possibility but if that's not going to be a good enough solution then we need to look at other avenues that we could potentially consider where the public works department is also in agreement to help save these trees i just feel that uh it's something that we just don't automatically oh it's time to go now

what the rest of the members of the board how they feel about it so i brought up the information and i was overwhelmed with support and i'm so glad that some of the members now are very strong from what they learned what these trees bring especially the water retention area that they suck it up and prevents flooding, the carbon monoxide, everything that was stated earlier. These are our heritage trees. We are known in Cocoa for these trees. We do not look like Cocoa Beach, which is a bunch of palm trees. We need to see what we can do in saving what we've got. And again,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:54:11–01:54:15 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
all reconsider anything about removing ‸ from the pictures. It looked like that there was other possibilities that we could work around it. Obviously the rubber idea, you know, anything to do it was not good from the information that was provided, but there's got to be a way to work on that they've been here a lot a lot more years than a lot of us

received a three-year grant and are, you know, we have reached this USA tree status. And we have a three-year grant, the first year of which we are going to be doing an inventory. Shouldn't we be doing an inventory and really understanding what our canopy is and what our potential is for stormwater absorption and shading before we removed like that? I mean, that's pretty minor.

And just for clarification, the trip hazard, once you hit about a quarter inch, it becomes a trip hazard. So yeah the photos may not look like much.

we start cutting some roots on some trees or those trees can end up coming over in a storm. These oak trees can be, you know, really, really top heavy.

And, like you know, like going down ivy, I mean, it's just this beautiful tree canopy. um And that shades and protects and absorbs the storm water And when I realize they get rid of that, there will be issues if enough people get rid of them on that street.

this tree after I caught my little note. Thanks to whoever left that there. It's probably like a $10,000 tree, since you mentioned the value. And that was going to be my original speaking point when I thought everybody was going to take my tree from me. That's not the case. I called it in myself. After learning that, I really like to keep my tree.
and she saw me in a motorcycle helmet. It hides now. It's the place where my dog stops every time to make sure all the neighbor dogs are doing what they're supposed to
It's a good tree, and I have some damage from it, but also it might be from all my friends. So with that being said, what do you do? I'd like to keep it.
And as for the sidewalk, knowing how roots grow and everything, and they do have a tap root system. So if you abolish a lot of ‸ roots under that sidewalk, you might be able to fix it. But as for now, I'd be willing to paint the yellow myself for the tripping hazard.

we'll save our money to do that. But cost to remove the trees is expensive. I've seen the work that the city does repairing the sidewalks. It's excellent. So I would like to just put forward that probably the most cost-effective solution is to repair the concrete. Not to use rubber, but just to make it right again, and at least on the public

Thank you, sir. And just to add that, and just to add the value of these trees, reference to flooding and the thousands of gallons of water. They suck up every year, and this right here is just one tree right here. And just imagine the flooding that we're preventing ‸ because these trees are ‸ sucking up this water and lowering ‸ the water table so that when we are in rainy season, you know, then we can hold a lot more and ‸ just, you know, prevent some of the flooding that we see in some ‸ areas.

Okay. I will, just real quick, ‸ we try to look at that when we do get those plans. Okay. It's not a specific review requirement, but we do provide comments because ultimately

trees end up being our responsibility. And we want to avoid issues like this. I did just want to mention one thing with these three. Since we do have a trip hazard that's present right now, would it be okay if we proceed with removing and replacing the sidewalks and grinding the roots or removing them as needed to at least eliminate that trip hazard? As opposed, my worry is just, we all know it's there now and it's going to be present for at least another two or three weeks. And I'm not sure if that could be an issue. ‸ Yeah. Should we make that?

amending appendix A zoning, article 13 of the city code to authorize the operation of mobile vendors in the city, providing standards for operating mobile vending units, providing for the repeal of prior and consistent ordinances and resolutions, incorporation into the code severability and an effective date. ‸ Thank you, sir.
So, um, as, uh, you know, we've been asked to look at, uh, potential of adding mobile vending to, uh, the city. Um, and also, um, the state has passed recently, um, a, uh, new law that affects, um, what are called, um, mobile food dispensing vehicles.
um, ability, uh, related to permitting of those, specifically those types of, um, of mobile vendors. However, the city retains the ability to regulate it based on locations
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 02:18:32–02:18:33 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
tried to balance, uh, the needs of the city and the needs of the vendors, um, and tried to bring you an ordinance, uh, that you have before you to kind of address, um, as much as we could anticipate. Um, it's a complicated topic.
one would be the service provider, uh, who goes to a resident's home or to a place of business. They do things like mobile detailing. They do dog grooming, that kind of work. Um, so they would be allowed. Um, then there's the mobile vendor, um, and the rest of these include the mobile food dispensing vehicle vendor. Um,
who are contracted with, like, city special event. Um, and so that's like our craft fairs and the chili cook-off and that kind of thing. Then there's the mobile vendors that are, uh, like a private special event. So they operate on private property, um, similar to the public special event, but related to private property.
And I, I want to state that when I say and talk about site plan approval, I'm not talking about major engineering drawings. Um, we're talking about just a, a simple sketch essentially that we take a copy of the survey and, and try to make this easy for the applicant. There was some confusion at the planning board about that, that, uh, requirement.
Um, but we are asking to take a look at that for things like traffic and making sure that people that come to, ‸ to, uh, you know, buy from that vendor are able to park and, and not walking through the, like, the parking lot that where there might be ‸ conflict there. Um, so just trying to, to keep safety in mind essentially. Um, and then the, uh, fourth type would be the vendor, um, who would be operating, um, on private property, but for, um, a longer period. So we've, uh, indicated, um, a 60 day.

week, that would be okay. As long as they go through that site plan, you know, process. Um, so that's kind of, those are the, the categories. Um, the zoning districts that that could operate in would be, um, CG, CN, um, a basic commercial ones.

and M2, and then the institutional districts. Um, the additional criteria for location, um, we're proposing that, uh, it be allowed, um, on core commercial, uh, unless there is a, uh, special event

side of the street to be as open as we can, but when we have a special event going on, that's a contracted event. And so we're also trying to balance things and preserve the integrity of that event and not have a vendor right across the street. That's potentially competing with. Right. So we're saying you can't, you can have mobile vending on the core commercial sites, but if there's a special event going on, they need to be a part of that special event. Another one of the vendors in other words. So, um, and then, um,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 02:23:22–02:23:23 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
have a prohibition in here on residential zoning districts, unless the principal use on the property is not residential. And that's to allow churches to have, like fall festivals or, you know, fundraisers and that kind of thing, because most of our churches are on residential zoning zoning property because they're in neighborhoods. Um, so that's why that provision is here. Um, and then, um, they're prohibited on munisly zoning property or sidewalks right away, that sort of thing. Um,
again, it's a part of a special event permit. And then there's a series of other criteria. I won't, uh, go all of them with you. Uh, but, uh, please ask whatever questions you have.

‸ the durational time period prior to which a temporary sign can be posted. And the code would then rely on the fact that there's an event, for example, and

relative to, you know, ‸ that time period prior to placement of the sign is with election signs, you know, election signs, the temporary signs. And as stated in the ordinance, those durational requirements are typically not held, upheld by the courts, especially the federal courts, cases that are ‸ out there. You can't ‸ impose a restriction on the placement ‸ of an election sign, a political sign, so many days prior to an election. On the other hand, you can require election signs to be removed ‸ at a certain time period after the election. Those courts have propelled those time restrictions. So I'd be ‸ going to add anything else to those comments.

creating an arbor mitigation fund, providing for the repeal of prior and consistent ordinances and resolutions, incorporation into the code, separability and effective date. This is first reading of this ordinance, been recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board on August 5th. Major substantive changes being proposed regarding land clearing and trees and staff will give you all the details.
Angela Essing with Community Services. And I want to start by saying that this is being brought to you, obviously, by myself, but it has really been a team effort to put this together. Public Works has had a lot of input ‸ on this, and especially the tree board. With all the items that come before them, they have given a lot of recommendations,
you tonight. So there are two parts to this ordinance before you tonight. First, we have a state law preemption that we're working on, and then the addition of the arbor mitigation fund. The state law preemption came about in 2019, and basically the section that was enacted prohibits local governments from requiring applications for removal of trees on single-family properties.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 02:35:39–02:35:46 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
meets the state statute. However, our legal advice said that it would probably be best for us to specifically describe what a residential property ‸ is, so that there is no miscommunication as to exactly what a residential property is. And so that's what the ordinance is before you tonight. It is clearly expressing that a residential property is a property with a fully constructed single-family home or duplex used for residential purposes. So it takes out multifamily residential property.
takes out common areas in larger apartment complexes, those type of things. So we've been very specific about that. And in regards to kind of separate it from the applications you had tonight, the three applications you had tonight were all in the public right-of-way.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 02:37:02–02:37:04 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
But just to augment that, the residential property, ‸ the ‸ resident under the preemption of the statute has the right to remove the tree. However, the resident has to demonstrate through a certified

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 02:38:01–02:38:07 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
residential is so it's not left in question. And you pointed out a couple of areas that although it may be a resident, people residing on the property, like multifamily or a common area and a condominium association on residential property, those would not constitute residential for purposes of that preemption, which means they would have, the ‸ property owner. would have to go to‸ the permitting process in the code where the city then would have to issue a permit before the
All right. Okay. So then that takes us to the second part of our changes, our proposed changes. And those are in regards to the overall landscape code. And what I want to stress here is that the landscape code was written very well to save the trees in
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 02:39:21–02:39:22 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Now, there is some chance that when you do do new development, the trees do have to be removed. And so the second thing the code does is require the replacement of those trees. And tonight I'll speak to you quickly about some enhancements to that replacement policy. And then the third thing that we're going to talk about is the addition of the Arbor Mitigation Fund. And I'll go through that with you. And you can see the ‸ picture in your upper right-hand corner of the screen is a picture that demonstrates right tree, right place. The mayor mentioned this tonight. And we really have given this a lot of discussion through the tree board. And again, what we are proposing definitely supports the right tree in the right place. So the second item was replacement trees and the standard for replacing those trees. So if you do have to remove trees on your property, when you go to replace them, we are adding some requirements as to the size of those replacement trees.
will guarantee, have a better guarantee of their success when they are planted. They also guarantee that the trees are a little bit bigger, that they're not just a small little stick out there. So that's one change that we are presenting.
We are adding the recommendation to use the Florida-Friendly Plant Selection and Design List. And this really helps with the replacement of those trees, the right tree, right place.
We all have our favorite trees. And so we've added this in too. If you are to save a tree that is 42 inches or greater, you get credit for saving that very large tree to the extent of 100% credit for that.
you actually have the right to remove another 42 inches of trees without any type of replacement. But again, we feel this is in the city's best interest because we do want to encourage land developers to save those very, very large trees. And a 42-inch tree will be roughly 45 to 50 years old. So they are nice, large, old trees. All right, then this brings us to the last change, the addition of an arbor mitigation fund. So again, our first option is, please save all your trees. Should you not be able to save all your trees, please replace your trees.
the trees. This happens a lot in our industrial areas where we have some wonderful businesses in the city who have large, we have a lot of metal industries and things like that, right? They have very large pieces of metal that need to be moved with cranes, those type of things. It's not easy to move them around. And so even the smallest setback on the front or side of their yards, with even the simplest ‸ palm trees in them, can create hazards and safety issues to have trees on some of these larger industrial sites. So for that reason, we are bringing before you tonight the Arbor Mitigation Fund, in which if it is absolutely impossible to replace trees on your site, then you do have the ability to pay money into the arbor mitigation fund.
but it's reserved exclusively for the replacement of trees, additional funding for studies that we might find important, and possibly the operation and maintenance of a public tree nursery in the future.
Thank you, ma'am. Any questions? Okay. Thank you, ma'am. At this time, I'm gonna ‸ close this to the council and open it up to the public for any public comments. Seeing none, at this time, I'm gonna ‸ open it back up ‸ to the public and open it up to the council.

and also, reading his letter, realized that this is, it's very similar to what's happened to the Sustainability Committee several times, where people have made special arrangements to be in town, have been very accountable, responsible, and
at the last minute, it was canceled, so I would just ask that staff would be more conscientious about or appreciate the fact that people are changing their schedule to be volunteer leaders here, and that's all I wanted to say.

I'm here tonight to support the resolution urging the Florida legislature to approve Medicaid expansion in the state of Florida. And I'm here to support people like Linda G. and Karen S., both from Brevard County, who were not able to access medical care when they had serious health conditions and needed surgery. I'm here to support young people with disabilities working at low-paid jobs who do not qualify for healthcare coverage under the current system.

that expanded Medicaid. Over 300 research studies show significant health and economic benefits associated with expansion. Medicaid expansion saves lives and increases coverage to members of vulnerable communities. It will bring an estimated $14.3 billion

per year in uncompensated hospital care ‸ which results in more insurance premiums and greater hospital costs for everybody. Passing Medicaid expansion now would help uninsured Floridians get the additional care they need during the COVID-19 pandemic. I ask you to please support this resolution which will significantly increase health care access And by doing so, you will be doing the best for the residents of Cocoa,

All in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? It passes unanimously. Thank you, ma'am, for coming out. Okay. We're going to move on to city business.
Mr. Mayor, I'll take this one. This item is to approve a resolution amending the fiscal year 20 budget, budget adjustment form number 20-89-T and approve a consulting proposal with Infotech Research Group, Inc. to define enterprise enterprise resource planning solution requirements, assist staff in the development and manage a request for proposals process, assist while RFP is in the field, propose and develop response evaluation, prepare demonstration scripts, and
Technology Services Contract VA-180315-ITRG. This item is a follow-up related to the City Council workshop we had in the last month where we discussed the current state of the city's software as well as where we're at in the process of evaluation and how we would move forward.

emergency. The grant is available from March 1st to December 30th, 2020. In executing this agreement, the city is certifying that all CRF funds will be expended by the December 30th deadline. So staff is proposing the following activity based on the needs demonstrated by public inquiry and staff capacity And that's to provide city of Coco citizens water utility assistance, rental and mortgage assistance, benefiting the low and moderate income

So with this, it was a little bit more latitude in order to assist with the water, helping people pay the water bills. If there's additional money or additional need, we would also be able to incorporate that into rental and mortgage assistance. The one thing I want to highlight is when this agenda item was drafted, we were under the understanding that we needed to publish this immediately with the 10-day advertisement. And since then, we've been told that we cannot advertise until receipt of the funds. So once the city received the funds, we will be able to advertise that. We do not have to advertise it in a local newspaper.
So we already have the applications ready. It will be internal with staff where staff will actually be processing the applications. Luckily, it doesn't have as many restrictions as the CDBG-CV.
meeting coming up where we're going to work with the customer service staff in order to... We've already highlighted some of those customers that could use the assistance. And then we'll be able to help them fill out the applications and get processed.
Yes. Yeah, it does not. The biggest thing is, which is really great, is they don't require that third-party verification, all that additional documentation.
and then has your, you know, has your income been decreased and all that stuff. And we'll be able to work with customer service to get a lot of the information as far as their delinquency. So that ‸ should speed it up.

CARES Act funding those that are eligible to submit through that program for utility assistance, specifically with our water. We've been trying to work with the various agencies that support that application process. We've received two checks so far. I don't know the exact dollar amounts, but... I'm very good.

a second from Councilwoman Warner. All in favor, signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? It passes unanimously. Okay. Item number three, considering the adoption of emergency ordinance requiring face covering in places open to the public. Mr. City Attorney.
of Cocoa, Florida, requiring face coverings in places open to the public throughout the City of Cocoa in order to minimize the spread of the COVID-19 virus, subject to certain exceptions, requiring certain business establishments open to the public to post written notice
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 03:06:45–03:06:46 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
necessary by the Council, providing for the repeal of prior and consistent ordinances and resolutions, non-codification, applicability, severability, and an effective date. As you know, the mayor, this is an emergency ordinance. under Florida law and ‸ under the City Code, Council can adopt an emergency ordinance. It only just requires this one reading, a second reading and ‸ public advertisements not required. However, this ordinance to be adopted as an emergency ordinance requires two-thirds votes ‸ of the City Council. At the last Council meeting, the Council directed that this ordinance be presented.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 03:07:43–03:07:45 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
This ordinance lays out many of the findings that were made in the resolution. However, additional findings are set forth and relied upon by the City Council as legislative findings. Most importantly, the citations to some case law regarding the City Council's police powers and the Council's local authority to adopt face coverings that
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 03:08:16–03:08:18 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
not an emergency, measure adopted under Chapter 252, Florida Statutes. Rather, this is a home rule ordinance adopted under the general police powers. That's significant because,
open to the public, and social distancing. The ordinance generally mandates that face coverings will be required and shall be worn consistent with current CDC guidelines while within or at a place open to the public as defined within the jurisdictional limits of the city.
ordinance provides approximately 13 exceptions to the face covering rule, many of which, if you read, when you read a relatively common sense, others arguably are required by law to address things such as disabilities and ‸ other issues. As mentioned in the title, as directed by the council, this ordinance does require business establishments to post a notice advising the public ‸ of the requirements in this ordinance.
of the business establishment. And that business establishment has to generally allow ‸ customers or clients to come freely and openly to the place of business. It's not intended to be business establishments that are closed to the public. As I mentioned, compliance and enforcement will be a non-criminal infraction. It will be just done through citation. The ‸ ordinance provides that the city will first seek voluntary compliance with the provisions of this ordinance and try to educate
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 03:10:15–03:10:16 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
person will be asked to comply with the ordinance or be able to explain how an exception to the ordinance may apply to them. After that inquiry, under code enforcement discretion, The city ‸ code enforcement officers could issue a civil citation, which is non-criminal in nature.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 03:10:54–03:10:55 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Furthermore, as directed by council at the last meeting, in lieu of paying the fine, there's an opportunity to provide one hour of community service rather than paying the ‸ fine. Of course, the city would reserve the right and any other remedies to enforce the law, this ordinance by law. And as also directed by the city council, there's a provision in here that requires the ordinance to be periodically reviewed and brought back to the council every 30 days.
And will remain in effect until repealed by the council. That prospective effective date is really intended to provide city staff ‸ a possibility to get some education out there ‸ that this will be required going forward as of Saturday.

during this pandemic, we need confidence. We need to feel safe and we need to see our leaders taking real action to keep us safe. The most obvious, least expensive measure our city and you, our leadership, can take to boost our confidence is to promote and ensure a mask wearing here. This will pay us all dividends in feeling safe and confident. I have read the emergency ordinance and it seems thorough and fair.

The next one is from Linda Gombert of 2323 Elon Drive in Cocoa. Her comment is, I don't feel safe in my city because so many people refuse to do one simple thing that is universally recommended by health experts, disease researchers, and anyone with a basic understanding of biology. Wear a face mask covering in public. I'm not alone in my fear. The refrain, if you're scared to stay home, doesn't take into account the fact that most of us don't have that option unless we're okay with living in the woods and scraping leftovers out of dumpsters. Some local citizens are now doing their shopping in Orlando because there's a mask ordinance there and they feel safer.
to areas with mask ordinances and don't plan on coming back into it until it's safe. As long as we act like this pandemic is a hoax, why on earth should they come back? This means less money going to local businesses and fewer tax dollars in our coffers. We shouldn't ignore this. This isn't about personal freedoms. It's about public health.

As of August 10th, there are 676 cases, over a six-fold increase in just 56 days. Deaths in Brevard County have gone from 15 to 152 during the same time period, a ten-fold increase in 56 days. We know there are 10 times more people infected with COVID than the above figures indicate.

The next comment is from Elliot Zimmerman of 3212 Westchester Drive. His comment is, you have a rare opportunity tonight. You can take an action that will not may save lives. Please support the proposal to require face coverings in public spaces in Cocoa. Public health officials unanimously agree that face coverings when used by all, will save lives. You can help Cocoa Village become a destination again sooner than later. Think ‸ about the old slogan, the life you save may be your own.

And this is very expensive for a small city. When we do wastewater, that is just our 20,000 residents. That's not the entire universe that we serve with drinking water. And we have limited real estate. We're doing a Class B biosolids, which is, I believe, there's a moratorium on spreading it within the county and with several within the state.
‸ And the problem is that, you know, Florida has very permeable soils. Class B, as long as you spread only so much over ‸ so much time with better management practices, is safe. But we also have the permeable soils and other conditions with our waterways that have got problems with algae and issues. So, I was hoping that we would at least be doing something to try to facilitate regional solutions because we're not the,
