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.
533 suspect passage(s) marked in place; 3 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 27 voices separated from the audio.
46 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, whether a voice was detected where the words are and a language review for likely mishearings.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 91.6% of 21,851 content words.
Dotted words (439 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
533 passages (25% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Voice detected, no words recognized (3 stretches). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:
00:16:14 (8 s) — neither reading has words
02:01:48 (6 s) — neither reading has words
02:12:21 (11 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.
you very much. Before we even get started with this meeting, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge Mrs. Singer, please stand. Today is her birthday. She finally turns 32.

can be a little challenging to determine what's real, what's fiction, and certainly what's local, right? Which, you know, that's been one of the challenges, I think, all through this is, you know, what may be happening in New York City is not necessarily what's happening in Cocoa, Florida. So I wanted to give a quick update of the current situation.
It's been, there's been peaks and valleys over the last 16 to 17 months. ‸ We are, by all appearances, well into another peak of infection. If you look at
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:03:17–00:03:25 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
right now. That is translating to increased emergency visits in the hospital, ‸ increased EMS runs, and increased hospitalizations. We've seen a little bit of a shift.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:03:59–00:04:01 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
we've had about 450 patients admitted to the hospital since January 1st with COVID. Five of those have been vaccinated. So there's really no question at this point regarding the efficacy of the vaccine. ‸ It works. We have had a handful of what they call breakthrough cases that are people that are fully vaccinated, those five in particular. By and large, those five are not being treated in the ICU.
And when they are, they're not as sick as those that are unvaccinated. So those are the facts. I know, obviously, people are going to make their own decision whether or not they get vaccinated. But I will say, regardless of whether it's the Moderna, the Pfizer, or the Johnson & ‸ Johnson vaccine, one thing is very, very clear, ‸ that they are very, very effective at preventing hospitalization. So ‸ that's kind of what we're dealing with in the hospital. ‸ What's made it a little bit different this time is, ‸ if you remember last year at this time, where we saw a peak last summer, at the same time, the governor had put a moratorium on elective surgeries. A lot of folks were avoiding the hospital for fear of getting COVID. That's not the case now. So we're dealing with COVID patients on top of an already busy hospital.
they were going to cut down on elective surgeries in order to make room for the additional COVID volume that they were seeing in the hospital. We are not at that point right now at Rockledge Regional. But that may be a lever that we have to pull soon.
you know, we all know the preventative measures of this ‸ virus. Social distancing, mask wearing, masks are effective. And then, you know, ‸ I really would stress the importance of vaccination. And even if you've been hesitant to do it up to this point, we know they're effective now. There is a lot of data out now that shows that there are very few side effects.

‸ I have one comment that I would like to say publicly with Andy standing here in front of us. When this pandemic first started, as you know, first responders nationwide were having issues with trying to get vaccinated, trying to find out where they could get the vaccine. And when Rockledge Hospital started receiving the vaccine, they stepped up, even though they're

So, to me, it was really important they took us in as family and vaccinated our first responders, both our police officers and our firefighters, to anybody that wanted to do it and included us in with them. So,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:07:58–00:08:04 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
of the community as well. So, ‸ it was a great partnership, continues to be a great partnership, and ‸ we're very appreciative of Chief Lamb's leadership and his staff.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:08:36–00:08:39 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Well, I don't have a question. As a first responder who sees your ER on a weekly basis, and I see the overcrowding due to the increase of patients coming up,
I just want to say on behalf of your staff, thank you guys for, you know, stepping up, and you guys have been doing the best you can with how things are turning out ‸ and just adjusting to the changes. So, I thank you for that.

One other important message that I want to ‸ point out, one of ‸ the concerns that we had last year, although we haven't seen it as much this year, is ‸ folks were foregoing treatment, non-COVID related, for, you

Flag: words only one machine reading has (possibly not said) · 00:10:10–00:10:14 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
The average patient now is between 45 and 55 years old, although we've seen several much younger. Whereas last year, the average patient was more like 65 to 75. And when you look at the percentage of population above 65 that's vaccinated, it's much higher than the percentage of population that's vaccinated that's younger. So that ‸ seems to make sense, and it is playing out in what we're seeing in the hospital. Great question.

have seen some children in the emergency room with COVID, but not sick enough to need a hospital admission. So, you know, I know, you know, I've heard reports out of Orlando that at some of the children's hospitals there, they are seeing children that are admitted with COVID, but we have not seen any local here.

Thank you for being here. Excellent presentation. Could you say a few words towards the idea of if you're not vaccinated, you're more likely to get COVID, and anywhere COVID has a place to land, it has a place to more likely mutate, and the potential of coming up with something even worse than what we've seen, and therefore a result.
Yes, sir. Another good question. You know, the Delta variant, which is what we're dealing with now, the experts say over 85% of the COVID we're seeing right now in Florida is the Delta variant, is the result of the initial SARS COVID virus mutating to a point where now it is much more contagious. They say up to 10 times more contagious now than it was a year ago. I've heard reports of a new variant, a Lambda variant. So, you know, when we talk about the importance of vaccination, it's not even really necessarily that it keeps me safe. It keeps the community safe. It prevents variants down the road that potentially may be much, much more harmful. But the vaccines are effective with the Delta variant. We know that for a fact. Now, variants in the future, we don't know. I mean, we don't know what will happen. But ‸ we do know that the vaccinations are very effective against the Delta variant.

indication of future performance. And looking forward into October, do you think this is going to be just another spike like we've had for the last year and a half? Or do you think as a result of the Delta, that this may be an entirely different spike than what we're used to when we should get prepared for that?
That is a difficult question to answer. I don't know the answer to that. I do know, though, that if you look at the number of residents in Brevard County testing positive today versus either of the two previous spikes, which would have been last summer and then the winter, we had one as ‸ well. We can expect to see an increase in hospitalizations for the next probably six to eight weeks if it behaves like it did previously, and there's no reason to think that it won't. As far as, you know, beyond that, I think it's really difficult to, you know, to tell. I, ‸ you know, in my opinion, again, my opinion, the greater percentage of population that can get vaccinated, the more it will plateau and prevent it from getting higher.

in the city of Cocoa. And they're not in the range of 60 or 55. They're actually under 30 years old. I know right now we have a major discussion on social media, kind of arguments and battling back and forth. And a lot of people have woken up because these deaths have become more close to home. Do we have any

to go back on kind of what Sam's saying, I think the reason you're not seeing as many vaccination events or sites is, remember, the state shut down the vaccination sites. They shut down the test sites statewide a little over two months ago. So that was part of that, getting the community back involved and trying to get those vaccinations out to Walmart,

that they're doing in the hospital. So the vaccine is readily available to just about any place ‸ you can think you want to go and get it. It's just getting the people to sign up for it. And there's vaccines, if you look at the numbers, and that's part of what I'll go over in my report tonight, is, as Andy was saying, you're seeing the cases this way, you're seeing vaccinations this way. People are just not going to get vaccinated. It's not because it's not available. It's available. It's available out there. You just got to sign up for it. And Samantha's been doing a great job of pushing out the public ones, but also pushing out the information of where you can go to get signed up for a vaccination. um
that is sir yes sir okay In conclusion, I'm gonna ‸ ask you a personal question, but let me confess now. I myself vaccinated April the 3rd at West Coast Pharmacy. um

Ii am excited to share some amazing opportunities for our community and our kids as we prepare for the school year. You may have thought I'd come and talk about everything we've gone through over the last year, whether it was passing out over 15 000 devices to kids and 2 000 hot spots and then having to disinfect them and re-image them.
that our teachers hosted throughout a school year to keep our kids connected and our families involved in our schools. Or maybe it was the 20 000 students that we accommodated with e-learning so they could remain engaged with their schools and take advantage of the opportunities while we educated the other 50 000 students in our schools. or Or I could talk about the 4 500 teachers who rose up and stood up and stood tall to accommodate both of the platforms to keep kids engaged. Or the hundreds of social workers, guidance counselors, and school psychologists who overcame divides and opportunities to not connect with parents physically, but found ways to get them involved and informed and uh participating in their child's education through through some of those Zoom meetings. But we're going to put the past behind us. um But uh
um but also our teachers and our administrators. And uh our district staff, the the food service workers, over 11 million meals provided to our kids and families over the last 15 months, even when we were closed and
we provided drive-through service. um The list goes on and on. But the past is behind us. If there was anything we learned, we're a little bit more nimble than we probably thought ‸ we were a year and a half ago. uh And that's good that's a good lesson learned for us as we now pivot and prepare for uh elevated opportunities for our students and our employees in in the coming months. We are reopening to full in-person learning in just, uh well, two weeks from today. Our young children and our young men and women uh return to our schools and uh we're looking forward to them returning. Many of our teachers are already engaged uh in their schools and formally return on Monday. So keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they uh prepare to serve our community and ultimately inspire and aspire our kids to meeting their potential.

Medical Group have been partners already along with our other two uh significant medical providers, Health First and Parish. One thing we know and understand about kids, if you look at this graph
day they were born and even before birth, but the accelerated learning that occurs in the first months of a child's life and then that peak in the first two to four years in a child's life, we actually, as the public school system, are missing some of the most impactful periods in a child's life to establish that foundation, that background knowledge and understanding. And as we came around the table, how are we going to best serve? How do we live up to excellence as our standard for our kids? When in many cases
until they're five years old and they begin that decline of that most active, accelerated brain development. And we discovered we don't have to miss that opportunity if we choose not to as a community. Because we know where our kids are being born and we know where our kids end up, whether they come through the birthing centers and our medical facilities. And many times families find themselves back in our churches and places of worship and the faith-based community. And if we as a community can surround our young families and our babies with this commitment, a passion to help them develop their literacy at the first days of birth. Then when they come to us as kindergartners or five years old reading ready,
when they come to us. What you see here is the early stages of our digital website as a school system. We are bringing the learning opportunities and education to our families to the first days of birth for for our children. I brought with me our Thrive by Five information bag that will be going down to all of the birthing centers in Brevard. And inside is is printed material on how to engage uh with the literacy of your child from day one.
many of you just about have memorized Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? uh This got a lot ‸ a lot of traffic in in my house with three young ones. And, ‸ well, not so young anymore, let me be clear. um And then wewe give our families a

So uh we will be getting that consideration to the Council here in the near future. uh But we'll be doing a community-wide hard launch with our health uh partners uh along our side here towards the end of August, kind of in conjunction with the kickoff of the school year. And really, it is our, well, it's my dream that a family can't go to the grocery store, the hardware store, the hairdresser, the spa, dollar store, the doctor's office or the dentist office without seeing visual reminders of Thrive by Five. We're having posters made, window clings,
can be an exciting opportunity and movement that we can all as a community, as one Brevard, come together and support the lives of our kids and ensuring that they are ready to thrive by the time they join us in Brevard Public Schools at the age of five.
every one of our comprehensive high schools has a robust career ‸ technical education program. And your COCO High, our COCO High is no exception. They have right now the administrative office specialist technical program, automotive collision, building construction, culinary arts, digital design, exercise science, technical design, and an overall career academy of wellness. Our kids can go through any one of those programs and begin to be prepared to sit for any one of 82 different industry certification exams. They're so available to our kids and they take advantage of them that we have historically graduated nearly

‸ walking across the stage getting their high school diploma, but also at least one of those industry credentials by the time that they graduate. And that is an amazing opportunity. We had a high school senior graduate this year who earned 21 of those 82 different industry certifications. The district pays for them. We provide them to our kids. Our teachers prepare them and our kids uh attain those ‸ credentials. And it puts them to the front of the ‸ workforce

I mean, this is five star quality uh opportunities. And uh we're very excited about those career tech opera uh programs across our schools. But let me let the, I told you you were going to be on the big screen, my friend. uh
The excitement. Our kids are great with their hands and having the opportunity to build something from the ground up has created a buzz on this campus. And we kind of showcase them. We, we allow them to wear their yellow construction hats. uh Once they complete certain tasks and uh their, their ability to, to ‸ use their hands. And this along with our auto collision program, it, it,‸ is building a kind of a positive frenzy,

a special guy. We couldn't ask for a better person to lead this program. um He's personable. he uh He's the ultimate relationship builder. And he truly, truly cares about what's best for kids.
How fulfilling it is to see a building come to life with kids interacting and engaging with each other. They're so passionate about ‸ They love it. The passion of the teacher and the engagement of the students. They have taken full ownership of the projects. They are doing complete vehicle body restoration. Totally restoring them and putting them back on the road for car enthusiasts. It'sit's so exciting.
This is very exciting. The students are very involved. And I also learned a couple things. This is ‸ hands-on experience. These students can take what they're learning here and go out into the workplace and be employed. They know how to transfer the skills they've gotten here to their own personal life. So I think this is really exciting that they get this hands-on experience. And it's open to females. So that's exciting that if you're a female and you want to do this, you can sign up and do this too.
and they are so, um they're just strong kids. They're awesome. And so we're going to keep looking at opportunities to help prepare them for their next step.
I was impressed, both vertical and horizontal. Kids are doing a great job. And, ‸ I did get in that camaro 1981 Camaro and I did rev the engine. So I took some personal privilege there as well. But uh just exciting uh opportunities for our kids um

And just so everybody's aware, this is our fifth year of having this program. ‸ We brought it back in, I believe it was in 2015. Last year we weren't able to have it because of COVID. And this year was a lot smaller, and I attribute that to COVID. So we're hoping next year we're able to grow it even further.

said, the ability to provide an internship and a little bit of a workplace culture and environment to these individuals prior to them graduating is huge. We are building their resumes. We're putting them through ‸ career development training. We're putting them through character development training. Before they even step foot into the city, I have already worked with them, and Jody has worked with them, on looking at themselves on the internal and on the external side.

Yes. Thank you, sir. So as everyone may know or have heard me talk about in the past, the City of Cocoa has been designated a Tree City USA, a program that was established by the Arbor Day Foundation to celebrate the importance of an urban tree canopy and improve care of these vital city trees. To commemorate this recognition, we invited our citizens and visitors to share their favorite tree in the city by hosting a tree beauty contest.
USA designation and on the many important roles trees have in our community. We had 12 submissions into our tree beauty contest and we had seven winning entries that we would like to recognize here tonight. So first off, I would like to recognize and thank our contest committee who helped with criteria and judging for the contest.

Okay. We have property owner, volunteer, and member of the city's tree board and planning and zoning board, Alec Greenwood. ‸ Stand up, Alec. And I don't think I see Simon here either, but tree specialist, Simon Stratford, owner of Stratford Tree Surgery. And I just want to say a special thank you to those members of that committee because they helped us again. This is the first time we've done this contest and we were able to establish some criteria and it was based on the planning of this committee. So thank you so much for participating in that. ‸ So next I'd like to welcome up Councilwoman Koss who will call up our winning entries to recognize them. Each of our winning entries will be displayed in our lobby area.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:47:26–00:47:29 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
have them displayed in our lobby of City Hall. And we also have street signs that are similar to what you see up here that will be placed at the trees. You'll see that they were a winning tree as part of our beauty contest. And we would like to recognize those trees here tonight.

lots of great specimens around cocoa. They're more common in South Florida. They're native to Madagascar. They are, they can get as tall as 40 feet with a spread of 60 feet. So this is not, ‸ this is a tree that you want to plant at least 20 feet away from your foundation, and make sure you've got plenty of room for it. You're also going to want to really give it some guidance in terms of pruning. So the next one is our people's choice. This is a Schefflera. Its common name is octopus tree. You can see why. The big leaves, it almost looks like a jungle, doesn't it?

Northern Australia. It was, of course, a house plant and kind of escaped cultivation. And as a result, in some places, as beautiful as it is, in southern Florida in particular, and especially in Hawaii, it's outlawed because it has invaded and disrupted habitats.

So it's very flammable. So again, this is some...actually, this is one that's been classified by the state of Florida as being an invasive. It's actually illegal to plant it now. But of course, when it was planted, we didn't know that. We're enjoying the beauty of it. And we'll just keep an eye on it. And we've got a firefighter that can watch it for us. So the best photograph is Lay Down Sally, as she's called,

You'll see it on the freeways lining. The tall palms are really nice. So it's impressive. It gets a skirt on it when it's young. So you'll see they look like they're dying fronds. But in fact, that's its natural habitat. And I was going to say about this one, because I know the story behind this one. This is a sort of, Lay Down Sally is actually a very resilient tree. Because this was, you guys had to harden up your shoreline there. And that involved taking some trees out.

Okay. And a native. And the next is Best Community of Trees. And this was submitted by Alec Greenwood. So, Alec, come on up. Last December. In the last year, there's been some great research that has come out that talks about trees living in communities. How they help each other. How their root systems exchange carbon and water and nutrients. And how they help each other out. So, through underground networks of fungus.
very healthy for a tree to be planted with a group of trees provided you plant them the right distance from each other. So, thank you for submitting that.

So, this is a live oak. And you could argue that the live oak is Coco's iconic tree. There are hundreds of them planted around the city and is native to the southeastern United States. It's an amazing, tough tree once established and can handle many soil types. They get very large, 80 feet, spread of 60 to 120 feet. They have strong roots. These are the trees that, when they're mature, absorb 4,000 gallons of storm water a year. So, they really help us. They dampen the winds, protect us during storms.

I am here tonight to talk about Cocos Fluoridation Program. But before I do that, I'd like to thank the council members for all they do for this community. My hope is
everyone in the room understands that fluoride is a chemical, a medication, and a drug. It is the only chemical added to our public water supply for the purpose of medical treatment. Forcing people to ingest a drug is a massive betrayal of the public trust. As crazy as all this sounds, the truth is that it gets worse. It gets more absurd, more irrational, and more illogical. Ladies and gentlemen,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:01:17–01:01:18 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
where it gets really crazy. Every year, a cocoa water treatment plant dumps tons and tons and tons of a toxic waste byproduct called fluoride into our public water system. 99.5% of that drug that we put into our public water system does not go to its intended use. We wash our clothes with fluoride. We wash our dishes with fluoride. We shower with fluoride. We give fluoride to our dogs and cats. 99.5% of the drug that we put into our public water gets dumped back into our river and lagoons. I want to recognize all the water treatment plants here in the state of Florida that use fluoride.
So nice to be among you. Thank you for this opportunity to speak to you. I feel like it's the perfect night because we've been talking about schools and trees. And I have a good story that is unfolding here in Cocoa and I wanted to give you a bit of a status update. In the Cocoa Conservation Area, a group of volunteers has been coming together, a broad coalition, to create a series of cross-country trails through the conservation area. The idea is this will increase safety for the neighborhoods around, be an amazing asset for Cocoa High. It will enable them to host events for cross-country unlike any other in the county. No one has such a resource like this. And it also has drawn the attention of the designer of the Enchanted Forest. So he has helped blaze this trail.

Greg has also been an invaluable member of this volunteer crew, getting this trail going. This is the first trailhead, the first new trailhead. You are seeing it ‸ being born.
And we are planning a series of volunteer periods of time. A few we hope to squeeze in before school starts so that those kids can also get bright future scholarship hours.
Just want to let you know what a great story this is for all of our community coming together to support the kids and to give our neighborhood another resource for relaxing and enjoying the assets that we have here. And that's it. Thank you so much.

to severely curtail merchant activities due to COVID-19. To assist impacted merchants, the city of Cocoa closed parking spaces at key points in the village to facilitate curbside pickup of goods. Recognizing the need for merchants to provide online ordering and to facilitate curbside pickup, Carolyn Sheriff, historic Cocoa Village Main Street's website manager, constructed an online marketplace accessible through the historic Cocoa Village Main Street website and through our homepage. Through late April and May, the marketplace was developed and tested and a tutorial was built to teach merchants how to take full advantage. Each merchant has the ability to add products to the marketplace and products added are also visible to Google search, exposing merchants to a wider audience. If a merchant has an existing online presence, customers are channeled directly to that merchant's online store.
marketplace went live in early June 2020 as promoted through electronic billboards, radio, and social media. Though difficult to precisely measure the success of the project, one participating merchant confessed that despite COVID-19, he had a record June and that was in 2020. The marketplace remains active today featuring access to over 60 Cocoa Village merchants. I would like to ask Carolyn Sheriff to stand and be recognized for outstanding efforts on behalf of historic Cocoa Village Main Street, City of Cocoa, and Cocoa Village merchants. ‸ Carolyn?

within 35 days of us receiving our valuation from the property appraiser, we need to, um, establish the proposed millage rate. And then we have to, um, provide that to the property appraiser to give to the, to go on the, uh, notices. And then also we're going to set our first public

And I would like to remind you all that, um, the proposed rate that you vote on tonight can be reduced, but you cannot go up. We will be having two subsequent hearings in September for the tentative, um, budget and millage and then the final budget millage. Um, I would also like to state as I get this through this presentation, I left, um, some information for all of you on voting considerations for the millage rate.

large portion of that increase was due to, uh, new construction. So looking at it graphically, um, this shows, uh, since 2009, the history of our property values, which is what you just saw in tabular format. Um, and as you can see, when we went through that, uh, economic downturn and now we're actually starting to exceed where we were when all that, before all that started.
us some increases in our avalorum revenue, which helps support the operating budget for the city. Because that's recurring revenue that we get in. Um, on this chart,

like to know that fiscal year 21 and 22 avalorum revenue is, uh, the budget projections, but all other years are, um, actual figures of avalorum revenue that we have collected. Also of note, you can see that, um,

So, um, we have prepared, um, under the city manager's instruction, the budget with an assumption of 6.4532 mills. Um, that was after input that we received. And so that would result in an

6.4532, but there were some problems with the E trim forms, which changed the rollback rate. So it changed by decimal points, but it did change a little bit. So I did want to point that out to you. Um, we do have the current rate, um, at 6.4532

the end of last fiscal year. Um, there would be an increase of about $161,000 in the transfers from general fund to the CRAs. So that $800,000 figure that I showed you on the previous slide is being reduced by the $161,000 increase, uh, that we're transferring out to the CRAs. Um, and then if we looked at the rollback rate, uh,

would be $1,495. Um, at 6.4532 mills, it would be $1,640. So, uh, adopting a millage rate of 6.4532 mills would be a difference in the property taxes of $145 for the year. So we always take a look at where we are compared to our sister cities in the county. Um, as you can see, we would be at number six, uh, with

Looking at the water and sewer fund. Um, their charges for service, obviously for utility services and all the things related to that, uh, make up about 94% of their budget or $66.5 million. And then they have other miscellaneous revenues that they collect. So their total budget

again, we work with a consultant and, um, have projected total revenue of $18.3 million and virtually all of the revenue in the stormwater fund comes from that special, uh, assessment, which is the, uh, stormwater fee going on the tax bills and any tax certificates that we collect. Also of note with the stormwater budget,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:28:49–01:28:53 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
to support the operations and capital requirements of the fund. So looking at the total budget, as you recall, we have a lot of different funds other than the general fund stormwater and water and sewer funds. And even within the water and sewer fund where it's broken out into many other different funds.
If you look at the water and sewer row and the water and sewer renewal and replacement, and also the restricted assets, ‸ there's transfers that go from the water and sewer fund into the renewal and replacement for their capital needs. And there was a reduction in the capital budget for this year.
reduction in the capital spend and then a reduction in the inner fund transfer. Uh, the reduction in the restricted assets in the water and sewer fund is related to, uh, cost savings due to a debt refunding, uh, that occurred at the beginning ‸ of this fiscal year. And then,
a fully insured plan, uh, which is where the insurance company is bearing the risk of, uh, the claims. So because of that, there's a large reduction in the self-insurance fund
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:30:36–01:30:36 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
back up at the top in the special revenue funds that includes the CRAs, uh, that includes that increase in inner fund transfer of the Avalorum revenue that they'll receive. In addition

loans that are outstanding to the general fund and, um, their budget has been built to pay off those loans. So does anyone have any questions at this point?

to look at is the rollback rate, or you can keep your rate current. If you keep your rate current, we're still going to advertise a tax increase because the values of the properties as I should, you went up the 4.3%. Um, and we have to look at the millage rate, how far it is above rollback.

However, for a super majority, which is the rate at which we have built the budget at the 6.4532 mills, um, it requires a super majority vote, which means four of you need to vote in favor of that millage rate.

Let me ask. Let me ask a question before we go too far. So the rollback rate is a calculation that is based on formula based in statute. And so they are, are they, they're not adopting the rollback rate because the rollback rate is what it is. They're adopting a tentative millage rate, which
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:35:55–01:36:02 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
They're adopting the proposed millage rate because the tentative comes in September. And then, um, we have a resolution approving the, the rollback rate, which we provide to the county, uh, property appraiser.
rate to the, uh, property appraiser. So, so you're not, I mean, that's just a presentation of the, the, the rollback rate to the property appraiser. What you're really, uh, adopting as a proposed, uh, millage

Um, so as the attorney, um, stated the, um, the adoption of the rollback and the, uh, proposed rate and then the public hearing is all listed on that resolution. So, um, just to remind you all the next steps would be to have that public hearing on September 14th. Uh, we'll bring back a tentative millage rate. So at that, that meeting, you'll take two separate actions, tentative millage rate and then the tenant budget. And then the second public hearing will

regarding to the outdoor dining with three options list below. Um, number one, return to offering sidewalk cafes only option number two, continue with outdoor dining or number three, continue with outdoor dining during special events only. Now, be mindful.

But I'm asking, yes, yes, thank you very much. I'm asking that please take in consideration because of the unique situation with limited parking. I think we have over 300 deficit parking spaces that we need to address and we are addressing them.
during the pandemic, the city did allow for outdoor dining in order to allow for support of the restaurant industry and to establish opportunities for them to provide temporary projects, opportunities for them to establish food offerings outside services for their patrons. So, I'm
to give you a brief background of the previous resolutions that have been approved by Council on May 6, 2020 Council approved resolution 2020-146 that established the limited outdoor seating area to expand the dining options for local restaurants, authorizing new temporary outdoor seating areas that did not exist previously. On October 13, 2020 Council extended resolution 2020-146 to expire on February 28, 2021.

until staff could provide options to be presented at tonight's meeting. So, a couple of photos here, these are images ‸ of our two outdoor dining areas, which is Pub Americana and the Village Idiot, which have been offering outdoor dining services during this entire time with a permit. And so, in your agenda, staff noted six establishments that were approved for temporary expanded outdoor seating areas. Each of these have active sidewalk cafe permits as well.
and then amended in 2008 and is very liberal in contrast to other communities in the state of Florida. So, our options moving forward are to have sidewalk cafes only, which is what our original sidewalk cafe ordinance that we have established allows for. And that allows by permit, and there are 14 businesses that do have those sidewalk cafe permits. It provides ability to use neighboring businesses sidewalks with the permission of those neighboring business owners. The continue with outdoor dining in during the pandemic, we were allowed to authorize restaurants to consider using parking spaces and to allow for their outdoor dining purposes.
with their dining options. Pedestrian safety with patrons seated in the parking areas, although we did not see significant complaints or concerns related to pedestrian safety of those patrons within those parking spaces. It is a long-term safety hazard. And then fair and equitable to all businesses within the city, not just in Cocoa Village. The thought that staff had was if we allow the continuance of the outdoor dining that additional restaurants within Cocoa Village and in the city could benefit from this and would increase the loss of parking within the area. And our third option is to allow ‸ outdoor dining during special events. Now, this would impact all of our special events within Cocoa Village. If we allow businesses and restaurants to expand their outside seating area to the sidewalk in front of their establishments during special events, this would
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:44:34–01:44:38 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
because they would not have spaces for the vendors in those areas. So it's not a recommendation, but it was something that staff offered. So the recommendation, again, the staff is recommending Council approve option one to return to offering the sidewalk cafes ‸ only. And in the event that they, that you, the Council choose this option, staff can also go back ‸ and reconsider making some amendments to the sidewalk cafe provisions. The last time it was amended was in 2008. And so it could be some tweaking that can be made in order to number one, benefit the city in some of the maintenance and upkeep of the sidewalk areas and to help public ‸ works with some of those concerns with the sidewalks and the cleanliness of the sidewalk. I'll answer any questions if you have any. Thank you.

Okay. So really, we're talking currently six spaces, parking spaces. Yes, ma'am. And the real concern is that other restaurants will open up or come make additional requests.

I allow them to stop in the middle of the street and block the traffic. okay Flashers go on. But I cannot have long conversations with them. I cannot have them shopping in my store because they're calling. They're at the five minute light. Okay. And they come through the village. Okay.

other than other than you you know liability requires requires negligence first and foremost. So, you know, if this the city wants to extend the outdoor dining program, my recommendation would be that it be done under the rules that were previously adopted. Because those rules are, those rules are, require a permit and they require consideration of, um safe, public safety, pedestrian safety, traffic issues and and the like. um so that would be my, my recommendation. on If you wanted to go down this route, extend subject to all those permitting conditions that were

therethere are, my understanding is there are a handful of establishments that are currently, um it's currently, um operating subject to the permit that was issued. I mean, Charlene can address that this council approves the resolution to, to extend, then I would assume that permit extends without further application. um but that's, uh leave that the staff, but that's my, because the last time the council extended, there wasn't a new application. They just extended the duration of the permit that was previously existed. Now, if somebody discontinued and wants to reestablish, I would think that they would have to come in and apply to reestablish and get a new permit.

I just, to add to that, curbside was not included in any of the ordinances. That was done when we had, there was not a lot of people in the village because of COVID, because the stores were shut down. And so it was taking up spots that weren't being used anyway. And so then once the stores opened back up, that's when the curbside went away.
And so those spots were designated by the city as curbside pickup spots? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. On the authority of the one of the previous police chiefs or the public works director? or

for the purposes of constructing a municipal parking lot with approximately 40 to 50 spaces in the amount of $325,000. Council approved to negotiate a long-term easement access lease for this portion of partial owned by the city of Cocoa with the owner of a property on Plaza Parkway to provide access to their property. Authorized city manager to negotiate the purchase of four parcels and long-term easement lease agreement.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. As you had noted, we are looking to get approval for the purchase of four parcels on Oleander Street and King Street for the purposes of constructing a municipal parking lot with approximately 40 to 50 spaces in the amount of $325,000. And then negotiate a long-term lease access for a portion of a parcel owned by the city along Plaza Parkway. In early 2021, the city manager directed staff to appraise the value of the following parcels for potential purpose with the intention of constructing a municipal parking lot for

I have provided you with a map and description of those areas. The parcels are owned by Doug and Deborah Baldwin and it is approximately three-quarters of an acre. In the meetings with Mr. Baldwin, he did indicate that he was selling these parcels and interested in selling them to the city. So the appraisal was completed and the appraisal concluded that the
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 02:05:31–02:05:33 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
value of those parcels was $345,000. Mr. Baldwin did agree to negotiate a sale price of $325,000 for those parcels. With those four parcels added, it's an increase of 40 to 50 parking spaces that would significantly reduce the deficit and accommodate new developments

In addition to those four parcels, Mr. Baldwin indicated he was interested in a parcel owned by the city on Plaza Parkway. I've shown that on a map in your packet.
on the east side of Plaza Parkway. And his intent is to develop it into an RV and equipment storage facility. He is ‸ interested in negotiating a long-term lease with the city for easement access to the parcel that is owned by the city.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 02:06:41–02:06:44 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
parcels that the city has made attempts to contact the property owners of those parcels. And those two parcels are identified right between those parcels owned by Mr. Baldwin. Both of those are also located in the heart of Cocoa, the consent decree area. And staff is making attempts to continue to contact those owners in the hopes of negotiating a sale of those lots. If all six lots are owned by the city and we are redeveloping it into parking, we could potentially increase our parking in that area, 60 to 70 spaces. And so the parcels that are located in the heart of Cocoa, there are three of them. And
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 02:07:27–02:07:29 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
this allows for low density, single family and multiple family uses. If the, with appropriate public notices and hearings, staff can prepare an ordinance to propose modifying the RU210 to allow for a neighborhood parking facility in the vicinity of King Street that enhances and supports the neighborhood commercial uses surrounding these parcels. It can benefit the Mount Moriah AME Church and the churches in that area and other existing and future establishments surrounding the neighborhood parking facility. And these six lots are vacant and the city is not displacing any residents or eliminating the current use as RU210. So staff is requesting approval to allow the city to continue to negotiate with Mr. Baldwin to purchase the four lots that he currently owns and to negotiate a lease agreement for an easement access on the Plaza Parkway property.

So we're certainly seeing I apologize. The CDC recommendations came out this evening and I have not had a full chance to go over that fully.
