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.
412 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review; 8 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.
25 short machine repair(s) (29 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs and whether a voice was detected where the words are. Not completed: language review.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 93.0% of 19,854 content words.
Dotted words (380 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
412 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.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
Voice detected, no words recognized (8 stretches). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:

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.
And then Jana's going to say a few words. And then we're going to give each student a certificate and their families are here to watch them graduate. And then we're going to take a picture with council and the students. So next I wanted to bring up Miracle Wash, who's one of our students.

And I liked working there because it gave me an opportunity just to work as ‸ administrative assistant, also to work in the shop and to learn to weld and different things like that. But then I also got to work in a warehouse where I did like, where I added requisitions and things like that. So it was fun. And I hope you guys keep these things going.

year being in this program. I really enjoyed it. I worked with the building and customer service with Ms. Bethany. I did a lot of different things throughout this whole five weeks of experience. Like I did customer service. I helped talk on the phone. I did checks, deposit backs. I sent out checks.
And throughout the beginning, some want to give up. And she really helps, you know, I mean, talks to them about what that means, you know, when you give up.

Thank you. Good evening, council, city of Cocoa team members, career source Brevard, and the family and friends of the youth who served with the various city departments during the summer youth program. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as host manager for the summer youth program.

While there, they were shown the basics of welding, how to use a plasma cutter, bandsaws, and other shop tools, as well as shop safety. And cleaning, which is very important. Clean shop is a safe shop.
a metal sculpture as a practical learning tool. And may I say, they've done a good job at it, too. I would hope that you would come by the shop and see them.

And he was able to get in on that and learn something. ‸ And ‸ he also performed some preventive maintenance on some of their old dump trucks. Made them look brand new again. He's done a good job on that. They all three showed excellent computer skills. I had Miracle help me out. Sat in there with me when I was doing my visa report. And just sat down doing it the first time. She was almost better than I was at it. Yeah. It was. ‸ And it's just, let me, excuse me here. I lost my track there. And I hope that the three of us in our general maintenance shop, and Chris as well, I hope we were able to show them some good work ethics, you know, and the importance of teamwork and ‸ problem solving in order to complete a difficult and important task.

After spending time with this program for the past two summers, I can honestly say that this program is one of the best. The material taught in classes held at CareerSource Brevard coupled with the hiring and employment process at the city of Cocoa

a recipe for success, truly. Speaking of success, I want to take a few moments to recognize the aspirations of the youth who served with field operations this summer. Miracle wants to be a Supreme Court justice. Jabari wants to be a software engineer.
And Jameria wants to be an archaeologist. After spending quality time with these four outstanding examples of youth in our community, starting with the interview process, I'm absolutely certain that they will be highly successful on their chosen career paths. How do I know this? Here's a small sampling of character traits I observed this summer. Humility. Perseverance. Jabari. Flexibility. Team-focused. Intelligent. Communicative. And responsible. During their time at field operations, the students learned that nothing worthwhile is accomplished without hard work, dedication to the mission, and putting your teammates first before yourself. In turn, they helped us by magnifying our faith in

am proud of each youth team member we served with this summer, and I am looking forward to serving alongside additional youth in the coming years. Students, take care and remember that you are a part of Team COCO. Good luck, God bless, and feel free to drop by and give us updates so we can celebrate your successes with you.

done this before and had never had a first job before. They were trained on items such as business etiquette, proper dress, good customer service, lifelong skills of showing up to work on time, putting down your cell phone, talking about stereotypes of those
We talked about the importance of commitment. I asked them to select a why, and that was the reason that they were willing to fight for going to work, getting up, going to work every day. Many of their whys are sitting behind me today, and they don't even know it. But these students committed to this program. They committed to me. They committed to the city of Cocoa, and they committed to their families that they were going to follow through with what they did. I made sure that they did that. We ‸ also talked about the importance of teamwork. We talked about working with managers and workplace relationships and a bunch of other topics as well, conflict ‸ as well. Over the past five weeks, I ended up conducting 70 site visits

What that allowed me to do is to see all of these students through multiple phases of their internship experience, but also to really get to know your managers, which has been a true honor. It really has. I, along with their managers, have watched them grow into

successful young adults I am honored to present to you here tonight. They've worked in all aspects of the city, and many have shared that they now see what the big picture really is, and that's what it takes, and who all has to work together to have a highly functioning, well-put-together city like we do here at the city of Cocoa. Yep. To the city of Cocoa and on behalf of CareerSource Brevard, thank you so much for your second year of partnership. We look forward to many years in the future, and we appreciate your partnership and your shared passion for helping grow the youth of today into a productive workforce for tomorrow. To the managers, thank you for providing, those of you that are here, thank you for providing these students a chance. You're a huge part of what makes this internship successful. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for giving them a chance, taking them under your wing, and really providing an educational experience for them. Many of you have indicated that you would love to have your student return next year, and that's a true testament to the relationships that you as managers and the students have made together. Together, we are really changing lives here. To the families, thank you for supporting your students in this journey. It has not been easy coordinating transportation, work attire, and other obstacles that have come up, but many of the students shared that they want to be successful because of you all. They're here for you. And finally, to our students, thank you for making us all proud. Thank you for taking the initiative to sign up for this program. Thank you for entrusting us to provide you the experience of a lifetime. I hope you got more than you wished for, and I look forward to watching you all grow professionally. You have the power and the drive to do anything you want. Never forget what you learned, and never forget your passion. Six weeks ago,

want to commend the city on that summer youth program. Is that awesome? Not a lot of opportunities for young folks these days to do something other than flip a burger or push a picture on a thing. And, I mean, I remember when I was that age and the construction company gave me the benefit of hiring me as a laborer for one of my first summers in school.
I know. And it's just I think it gives tremendous opportunities. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Mayor, as you all know, we had a very interesting legislative session this year. Much of subjects that were very important to the city. And
that the true heart of local government was somehow the state rather than the cities. And so part ‸ of what we spent time. And I want to tell you how much I appreciate y'all letting John come up. Particularly his testimony on CRAs helped focus those bills. Even though the bills didn't pass. They were much better in the process. And if they had passed, ‸ wouldn't have been quite as onerous on the cities as they started out. Because of the details that John was able to lay out in his testimony as to why this won't work. Why this won't work. Why this date is impossible to meet.

It's a big problem in folks like Melbourne and Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach where they take ‸ single family homes in a single family neighborhood and basically rent them out by the night. And some of them turn into party houses where you're talking about 15 or 20 people staying there with the vehicles and
noise and the waste and everything else from that going into a system that's not designed for that. And so I think that will come back again to the legislature. So we'll see how that goes.

You know, it has to do with ‸ Lagoon and with trying to fix ‸ the leaky systems, at least have them inspected as part of a sale, which is where he was going. But there wasn't much traction for that in the Senate. But I suspect he'll come back with that. He did get it out of the House, and he worked very hard learning as he went of what concerns there are in other parts of the state that don't have the same issues that we do here in the Lagoon region. But they have some concerns about septic tanks. The

It was one that the league was big on, that had a lot of city interest. It got worked on. Basically, that was starting out to say that cities couldn't do anything where the utility wanted to come in and use the existing infrastructure to install wireless utility, wireless internet service. Questions were how big are these going to be? What are they going to look like? Small refrigerators. Yes. Small, you know, whether it's a
refrigerator or whether it's an apartment-sized refrigerator or what in between. But they ended up working most of those out. I mean, the biggest thing that we were working on was to have the process, because in the beginning, it just pretty well gave the utilities whatever they wanted and prevented the local municipalities and counties from doing anything. But, you know, our position was that whatever you do, there ought to be a point in there where the two sides have got to sit down and work it out, decide on what's reasonable, what they want, so that they can go forward with it. By
But the main sticking point that did not get resolved was who was going to determine the rates for these things per unit. The state was pretty adamant that they didn't, and
put in a maximum of $150 a box, essentially. And because of that, the league never did agree to the bill, although I think most of the particulars in the legislation were agreed to other than that ultimate, who is it that's going to establish the rate.
It did get passed. It was signed by the governor. So that's another situation. But at least the end bill, the rate was 10 times what they were proposing to give the cities to start with. It was going to be $15 a box. At least now they went up to $150. Some places get more, and personally, I think that should be negotiated between the local government and the utilities.

is valued at more than $125,000. It will be on the ballot. Nothing can keep it off of the ballot. The only thing that I can suggest ‸ is that the city as well as the League of Cities, if it does pass, you are going to have to figure it out. I think Coco's impact is something like, what, $600,000, Matt?

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, and it's not, you know, we've all been through the recession. We've all been through the budget cuts that we had to do to make those work. And so what I would suggest is that every city, certainly Brevard County, sit down and since you're going to have to go change your, when
you're going to have to go through your budget and decide what stays and what goes. Why not do that up front? Why not do that enough advance time before the ballot so that you can tell folks, not just, well, we're going to have to cut some services. You can tell them what services you're going to be cutting because you've done the analysis. You've done the work. You've seen what the impact of that
is going to be. And you've done the budget analysis. And this is what will be cut, the service or this fee or whatever, when this passes so that folks have an idea when they're voting, exactly what they're voting on. And it won't be a deal of four or five months later, the argument, well, I didn't know that was going to be cut by voting on it. Or, well, why didn't you do this? Or why, you know, it's, it's, I've always found that if you can help people make a better informed vote, there's certainly less to talk about afterwards. There's less to argue about it. Well, I didn't know that. Well, you'll know it. Everything will be right out in the front, right out in the open. So hopefully, now, you know, it's still going to be a tough lift because people are going to naturally want to vote themselves an exemption on their taxes. But I still believe that an informed public has a chance to make the right

haven't had the privilege of coming up through, the boards or councils or county commissions, and they find themselves in the state legislature. There's a lot of local governing opportunities that they have missed along the way. Because as you guys know, there is no escape from the people when you're in local government. You find out what's on their minds, whether it's in the grocery store, the laundromat, gas station, or whatever. You find out what's on their minds. And that's a good thing.
Mr. Mayor, I just want to interject. I want to thank Mr. Sansom for all of the years that he's been involved with the city of Cocoa. And council members going to the state capitol, his intervention is invaluable. Without him, I don't believe that we'll be able to see as many representatives as we do.
from the city of Cocoa and own property in the city of Cocoa, that I'm personally interested in what happens here. And I think it's ‸ been interesting and it's been fun, the years that I've worked with the city. And I think we've made some tremendous improvements. And I think we've done some neat things together.

Yeah. Thank you. Thank you very much. Jerry, let's be ready. Yes, sir. Again, let's be ready. Let's make sure we have our meetings early. Let's be ready to hit these guys hard.

Pedestrian paths and bicycle lanes are limited as I stated earlier on the previous slide.

going to be 12,000 additional trips on this corridor by 2040. Additionally, the traffic is going to cause certain segments of it, the corridor to fail and intersections to fail, five out of eight that were shown. Safety, again, vehicular and pedestrian safety improvements are needed. And the multimodal accommodations, as briefly stated, the pedestrian and bicycle are needed to be addressed. So, what we heard from the public and stakeholders, both of our public workshops were well attended. You had very robust residents in the area that really contributed their thoughts, their concerns, and some very positive ideas as to how this corridor could be improved. They were very much aware of the impacts of new development. They were in favor of the additional roadway widening. They wanted to improve for all users. They wanted to maintain the character of the area out there in that area. They were interested in the pedestrian and bicycle accommodations, the

They also wanted to see that driveways were still maintained as accessible. There was also concern of the noise barriers. Now, the recommendations to improve the corridor are conceptual alternatives. Briefly, I'll go over this and then I'm going to turn this over to Michelle.

signalized to improve safety and mobility. On this slide, you will see the aerial we propose. Actually, it's already in the works. There will be signals at the southbound and northbound off-ramps on I-95. There's a proposed signal at North Friday Road and a proposed signal for Walmart Distribution Center. There

And then from Cox Road to west of Industry Road, we also will have four travel lanes to accommodate the additional traffic. The winding, we propose a winding alignment. And to explain that, as you look on the screen here, you'll see that State Road 524 is a pretty straight road, almost a little drag strip. So it does not encourage people to drive slow, quite honestly. So we'll see, we propose a slight shift, not anything too serious, just to give folks the idea that you need to slow down to be aware of the speed limit. We propose narrower through lanes in this area, two 11-foot lanes in each direction. Again, the raised landscape median to accommodate aesthetics and the impervious areas in this corridor. Speed limit reduction, we'll go into that in

it would be very appropriate. That will go into greater review in the project development environmental study that follows this study, programmed, I believe, in 2018. Enhanced pedestrian crossings, we'll talk about that in Michelle's portion of this presentation. Also the green bike lanes. So I'm going to turn this over to Michelle, let her introduce herself, and I'll be back at the question and answer part.

Good evening. My name is Michelle Kendall, as Judy said. I'm the consultant project manager working for Judy and the DOT. I've seen many of you at different meetings throughout the course of this study, so I ‸ appreciate your involvement in this study, and I think several of you could probably give this presentation at this point. So I'm glad that you're familiar with the details of it.

The very good news, which we don't always see on our projects, is that we have not really heard anyone say they don't support the widening of this road. The two to four lane, pretty much across the board, everyone sees the need for it. The future conditions justify it. So that's a really good starting point. Where

So it's going to be a good project with a lot of good public input throughout the course of it. When we looked at this corridor, the three miles, we kind of divided it into four sections along the three miles. The section that you see up here is starting at the far eastern end at the I-95 interchange. That's really the only area where we're pretty constrained with right-of-way. We have about 105 feet to play with. Obviously, you're constrained by bridge piers, which you don't have along the rest of the corridor. So what we're proposing when we looked at the traffic and how it flows is as you're going eastbound, we're looking at two through travel lanes, 12 foot in each. 12 feet travel lanes.

[00:52:35]▶ PlaySpeaker 15 (introduced as “Michelle Kendall” — machine-transcribed, not verified)
So when we ran the projections, we're proposing two left turn lanes, one of which would be a through lane. So you would still have two through lanes in that direction and also allow two left turn lanes, which would really help the flow of traffic. Again,
[00:52:50]▶ PlaySpeaker 15 (introduced as “Michelle Kendall” — machine-transcribed, not verified) · Unclear audio
[00:53:25]▶ PlaySpeaker 15 (introduced as “Michelle Kendall” — machine-transcribed, not verified)
would be proposing pushing it back a little bit so you could get six feet of sidewalk on either side, giving the pedestrians a little bit of a safer zone so that they can walk through on either side of the bridge as well. This segment picks up from North Friday, so just after the interstate, and goes to Cox Road. This one, again, has a little bit more of an industrial feel. You're going to have more of that truck traffic because that's where the majority of the industrial development is,

Right away, where does that roadway go? So those are details to be figured out. So again, just when you're looking at this, know we're not saying this is going directly down the center of that 200 feet, 216 feet. And

moving down to Coventry. Again, a lot of consistent features. You still have the raised landscape medium. You still have the curving gutter. Two travel ‸ lanes in each direction. At this point, we're narrowing them down slightly to 11 feet for all four of the lanes and the shared path on the northern side and then the sidewalk on the southern side and the buffered bike lane. And again, the landscaped areas on either side in between will continue just based on how much of the right-of-way that we're using. This is the final of the four sections. Picking up from Coventry, it's the shortest of the four, and going to just west of Industry. And we're looking at it at this point, I was still a raised median, but probably not landscaped at this point. You have your through travel lanes, you have your...

But you do still have the multimodal accommodations which would continue the shared path and the sidewalks. This is also where Judy mentioned we would propose looking at the applicability of the bike lane being a green bike lane. In that area where you have a lot more turns, a little bit more visibility for the bikers is a good thing for the bikers and the vehicles.

right-hand turn lane, one left-hand turn lane, and then coming onto Industry Road going eastbound. It's proposing two through travel lanes and then two left turn lanes onto Industry.

[00:58:37]▶ PlaySpeaker 15 (introduced as “Michelle Kendall” — machine-transcribed, not verified) + overlapping voice
Yeah, so let me talk about that in a second because I know we've talked about that before, and that's a critical issue that we agree with you on. The fourth traffic light that's been approved is at the entrance to the Walmart, which is estimated to be right about here in June of 2018 to coincide with the opening of it. When we looked at the operation, so although the light isn't approved, what we're seeing is a lot of issues with the subdivision over to the west-hand side, right at Friday Road South. The access in and out of that is very challenging. The sight distance is challenging.

So we would be out there sitting and watching, and you see it all the time. You see cars almost going, traveling the wrong lane on the wrong direction on 524 to get into.

[00:59:39]▶ PlaySpeaker 15 (introduced as “Michelle Kendall” — machine-transcribed, not verified) + overlapping voice · overlapping voices
just keep one of them and then have an access off of Friday Road into it. Again, those details have to be worked out, but from what we're seeing from a conceptual level, it seems like that would help a lot of the problems. We also think that the signal that has been approved at the ramps, that should help with some of it as well. But there definitely needs to be some treatment at Friday Road South. ‸ Absolutely.

So you would have to go and do a U-turn or go to the next signal. In most cases, the distance between them is not very large. But we do know that access management is always an issue.
[01:01:20]▶ PlaySpeaker 15 (introduced as “Michelle Kendall” — machine-transcribed, not verified)
that's, you know, people are very particular about that. We want to make sure we work through it with you and with the public as moving forward. Also proposing the same directional access at Lance Road.

There was 165 people in that room that night, and many, many of them had comments, and it was really good to hear. And the roundabouts are always where we hear, you kind of love them or you hate them, there's really not any in between. It's newer in Florida. It's something people are getting used to.

It helps with functionality, and it also helps with safety. And there's been studies done by the Federal Highway Administration, by the Transportation Research Board, for years kind of tracking how different intersections function versus how roundabouts function. And there are definitely safety improvements. Yes, people have to get used to them. Yes, they have to be designed correctly. But they are definitely safer, and they definitely help with the flow of traffic because you're not sitting at a light if no one's coming in the other direction.

[01:03:39]▶ PlaySpeaker 15 (introduced as “Michelle Kendall” — machine-transcribed, not verified)
So what we do as consultants, with Judy's approval, is we do kind of the level one screening that the DOT has set up, where it's basically a checklist of six different criteria, and it says, does it meet this criteria, this one, this one?
[01:03:52]▶ PlaySpeaker 15 (introduced as “Michelle Kendall” — machine-transcribed, not verified) · Unclear audio
[01:04:07]▶ PlaySpeaker 15 (introduced as “Michelle Kendall” — machine-transcribed, not verified)
that screening tool goes to DOT traffic operations. They decide whether they agree, they want to see some changes, and then you go into two further levels of study from there. But it definitely will be something that's carried through. And it is a policy any time a road undergoes ‸ major renovation or reconstruction or before any new traffic signals are considered, that roundabouts are considered as part of the process. And these, like I said, these are some of the benefits that have been stated. Again, there's been a lot of studies done. And it improves the safety. The crashes are fewer, which is huge to all of us because we all want the safer roadways. It saves travel time. It's environmentally friendly. There's less idling at the signals. It saves money on maintenance for traffic signals.

So the traffic can still flow through. And also, depending on how you design it, it can really be a nice aesthetic enhancement to the community because you can design it more of a gateway and really have some nice features in there. So it can be an aesthetic and a functional improvement. So that was a really quick overview of what we've been working on for a little over a year now. Next steps in the study. As Judy mentioned, the PD&E study is the next phase. That is funded in 2018. There are several key issues that need to be further addressed. One of them is the alignment, as we talked about, you know, not necessarily looking down the center of

We were proposing 45 miles an hour. We think that's a more appropriate speed, particularly as this corridor is developing. Again, that would need to be finalized. Stormwater, obviously, is also an issue. The more pavement you put down, the less area there is for the stormwater to be absorbed by. When we did an initial analysis, it's looking like you would need roughly 20 acres of ponding area, some sort of ponding area, to be able to accommodate this. So we would work with the drainage engineers to look at, you know, do they have ‸ ponds that are kind of along the corridor? Ideally, you don't want to take those water right away already. You don't really want to have to buy any additional. The fewer the impacts, the better. You know, can you do underground storage? You know, looking at the cost and benefits of each, can you look at a regional stormwater plan, which we would talk with the water management districts about? So definitely a key issue to be addressed there. Lighting, we also recognize that lighting is a little bit lacking on the corridor, so we definitely need to do a lighting study during the PD&E study. Noise impacts, as Judy mentioned, that's a concern of the residents. The more vehicles you have on the roadway, the more concern there is about, you

are consistent. We don't want to have two or three different studies out there that have different recommendations. So those are really the key steps for analysis under the PD&E study. We're finishing out the report with Judy this month, closing it out, and then, like I mentioned, the next phase of the study is funded in 2018. So you'll do PD&E, and then you'll move into design, and then construction will be next. So
I heard about it for a week after from folks. But there are people that own bike shops and things. I thought that was great. It looks great. Also, the alignment for Cocoa Pines and Cocoa North, you know, when you get ready to design it next year, you know, they already lost both their entries. People probably texting ‸ and driving right off. But the road currently is pretty close.

guess the one question that I get, especially now that people are starting to see the development of the Walmart Distribution Center is, how soon is this going to happen? How long are we going to have to deal with bad traffic and trucks before the road gets improved? So that's the question. When can they look for these improvements so that they don't have to deal with trucks?

Well, unfortunately, a PD&E study takes almost two years to completion. From the end of this study to the beginning of that one is what we call ETDM. That's an environmental study where they look at various components. And that, again, is forwarded into the PD&E process. And it sounds strange to say a study following a study following a study, but it's laying the groundwork. This study was very important in identifying what the issues are. So when the PD&E study cuts off, ‸ cuts in, takes off, it's more focused than it normally would be. They wouldn't have to go through all the legwork that we've already done. To answer the question, you may be looking at two to three years. When the construction starts, I couldn't say, because after the PD&E study, it goes into design. So how long does it take for design and then go into the construction? You've got a very proactive group here,

who don't know, this is Canine Copper. Copper came to us about eight months ago as a donation from Oak Hill Kennels in Oxford, North Carolina. Copper's father lives here locally in Canaveral Groves, and I think he's with us tonight too. Copper

He is in our Community Resources Department, and for the time he's been here, he's been doing a lot of training. Copper now has his therapy dog certification, although he's technically too young to be considered a therapy dog. He won't be official until he hits his first birthday in September.

So even though he's just now getting sworn in because he's just now got his badge and getting official, he has been working for about eight months. But of course, with his swearing in tonight, also comes a probation. I've been informed he will have to be on probation for a year. So I kind of sprung this on the chief. He's never sworn in one of his canine officers before, but canine copper is very special. He doesn't bite anybody. He just licks them. So we figured he could ‸ do for a swearing in since he's a little more community oriented than some of our other canines. And he's also kind

dogs that are also huge assets to our agency. But to have a dog like copper that, you know, we can take to events, we can bring to different places, and the kids can love on him. And the other side of it is, you know, if we were to have a missing person or a missing child, you know,
So again, thank you to Councilwoman Warner. Thank you to all of Council and the Mayor and our City Manager for allowing us to accept copper as a donation to the city. And with that, we'll ‸ try this swearing in thing and see how it works. I'm a little scared right now.

guess four minutes, ‸ 50 seconds. Thanks. I didn't appreciate, two weeks ago, the rudeness that the Deputy Mayor showed. I respect all of you public servants, and we'll like the same respect, please. So, I'm here to talk about the hazardous waste and the water supply, and I
I don't want to drink the hazardous waste. I don't want to feed my dogs the hazardous waste or water my garden with the hazardous waste. And this is a fact that's universally accepted, that the fluoride being put in the water by cocoa at the dial plant is hazardous waste. It's
and affecting all the cattle and everything. And so they decided to develop a wet scrubber system to pull the fluoride out of the process and barrel it. And when they barrel it, it's labeled hazardous waste. You can't touch it. You can't breathe it. So there's, it's pretty, it's pretty toxic. It eats straight through concrete. So
they sell it straight to the cities that then ‸ dump it into the water supply. And there's no refinement process from the fertilizer industry straight into the water. So you have to handle the same acid with a hazmat suit. And
I'm not here trying to deny that thought. From what I've seen, maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. But the fact that you can't control the dose of this medication is very alarming. And FDA classified the fluoride as a drug to treat dental caries, which is a disease. So it's medication that you guys are putting in the water supply, and everyone's forcibly medicated. No consent to the medication. It's the only thing put in the water to not treat the water is to medicate the people drinking it. Also, people with fluorosis, dental fluorosis, which is caused through too much exposure to fluoride, they're subjected to the same water with the fluoride in it. So what benefit is someone with dental fluorosis getting from fluoride in the water? Also, the effects of fluoride are even worse in people with nutrient deficiencies. So it's even worse in low-income households who don't always eat a balanced diet. Other countries around the world that have stopped it have shown that it's uneconomical, because you're only drinking about 1% of the treated water. It's unecological, because most of it goes into the environment. It's unethical, because there's no consent to this medication. And the safety is highly debatable.
and it seems like people are hard at work. Past several months, I've been paying close attention to what my son has been researching and finding out. And it's alarming to think that this county would knowingly be putting things in the water supply. That's harmful to us. And it seems illogical when there's ‸ so many other great things that you're doing for the community, seemingly. But yet, you choose to turn a blind eye towards something this serious. I'm turning 55 next month. And the thought that I have lived here for 15 years, consuming this water that has such adverse effects. I found out today by doing some research that infants who don't even have a say while they're in utero, these women are consuming this water. It affects the uterus from the time the baby is growing inside. It's
ones, when they consume baby formula that is prepared with your water, they are consuming 700 to 1,400 micrograms per day, which is 700 times the safety level for fluoride. And this is in infants that don't even have a say. We as adults, we have a say. And I think it's despicable that you won't even make the attempt to reduce the toxins that you're putting in this water that we're forced to consume. Not everybody in Brevard County can afford filtration systems to filter out the impurities that you put into this water. And

That causes ‸ infections. You say high doses. I've been here 14 years. Consuming it for 13 and a half. That's a high dosage as far as I'm concerned. Because I was consuming it, not knowing. What would it hurt for you to put in a notice in everybody's water bill explaining the pros and cons to people in the community of what this water can and will do over a period of time to

what would it hurt to inform the community of just exactly what you're doing as well as the cost. How much it costs this city to put all that stuff in our water as opposed to what it would save this city if you didn't put it in water. That money could be used towards better education for our children. The schools that are in dire need of money. It could ‸ go towards putting better lighting on streets where there's high crime areas. There's a lot better things I think can be done. And I'm just shocked at all the information I've been finding out over the past several months. Thank

and when we had the space shuttle blow up, everything stopped. So I had to go to Fort Lauderdale, Boca, Vero Beach to do construction down there. And it

And unfortunately, the building department, of course, their short staff got involved, stopped where they were doing, and basically, unfortunately, didn't call the builder of this property and say, hey, can you talk to your neighbor? And literally, again, this business owner is a neighbor. So instead, ‸ the building official had to go down there as part of his job. And
which was so different from the building departments I've dealt with from down south Florida, and then also in comparison, when I was building in Cocoa before I went, it was very easy.

nothing. It was corrected and taken care of. But when I heard that this had happened, and there's several people that are going to be building in this area, and I'm going to be one of them. I'm in the process of getting ready to do something also. And
And it's just a matter of picking up the phone and talking. I just, it bothers me that if there are other people wanting to build in this area, and this kind of thing gets more well known, in addition to other things that I've been told about, because I haven't been directly involved, I really think it's a negative. And ‸ it's a situation where people might be less than willing to get involved. And it's all about communication.

that what I do want to tell you which we had stressed to the planning and zoning commission as well is that this is an industry disruptive technology. There's something very significant about our rocket motors. The TNT equivalency is zero. These motors can burn and provide thrust within a combustion chamber but they cannot detonate. Well, that's a big change. That's a big change.
They didn't mean to but they did when they were on a, they were just on a test. They weren't supposed to be doing a launch that day. They were just doing a pad test and they went boom.
And that shock wave was felt all the way by the way to Mims which was 24 miles away. So, but ours cannot detonate and for that reason as a matter of fact once we do launch our rocket, the 45th Space Wing has agreed and so has the FAA which holds, tells us whether we get our launch license or not.
termination, we do that by simply turning off the engine, dumping the nitrous oxide overboard and staging and bringing them down on parachutes. There is no explosive. Wow. Because it would not be very logical to try to do that because you'd have to put the same mass of C4 on the vehicle as there is fuel. Right. So it would be a little difficult.
So, and these, as I said, these are small, you do your testing with small engines and that and what we're looking at is at, on our pad which we're working, we're coordinating with the 45th Space Wing at this point, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Our, our pad will, will be such as where we do the test of the big engines.
the smaller ones that can be like, like put the, where the testing can be put into a conics box or on the trailer like you saw. Right. Well those would be conducive to being done in,

Thank you, Mayor. I just want to address something that was mentioned in the presentations. I am aware of the building official posting some of the properties of one building from one property owner where the roof collapsed and also another property that's under construction. So there has been communication with the property owner. They actually met this morning and they've met several times throughout the last couple of weeks. And they've also, the building officials also met with the contractors. So certainly if you all would like to speak to me as well, I'd be happy to provide you an update. There

1st. And I have provided each member of council up here. I can get Councilwoman Blanco. I can email her the form. But some of the cities have already ranked the issues. And you can see on there that we're looking for a ‸ consistency among council and a ranking of those items. And in speaking with the city manager, it's our recommendation that of those items listed, the support for home rule being number one. Number two are the community redevelopment agencies. Number three, given the road projects, 524, 520
Clear Lake Road, and 524 are all state roads. And so that's number three on our list. Four to oppose the firefighter cancer presumption. And then not listed on here, but we feel is warranted, is support of the continued support of the community schools. And
And just keeping in mind that the city's priorities that we'll be taking to the local delegation, we need those in advance of the September 20th meeting. That's going to take place at the county commission chambers again at 1 to 6 p.m., just as it has in prior years. Another item, staff did meet with the concerned resident, Reverend Robbins, who's approached city council many times regarding the blocking of traffic there on 520 and Washington. And we met with

And we looked at, observed the situation. It was just after 5 p.m. We observed it for about 45 minutes. And there were a couple of instances where traffic did back up and block the intersection. Some of the travelers did move out of the way or allow for others to come in. And
again, look at the signage, see if they could more appropriately position those signs to ensure they're visible to all motorists. And the city would follow through with continued enforcement at that intersection as well as on Washington with heavy truck traffic. And
And I think all of us have a better understanding. On another note, you all have in front of you budget books. That is the line item budget for your review in advance of the August 9th budget CIP workshop. You may recall at the priorities workshop, this budget was presented. Staff has worked very hard, everything from managers, directors, in putting this budget together. There were some difficult decisions made as, you know, we've seen an increase overall to salaries and benefits this year, ‸ 5%. ‸ And in order to balance that budget, we've had to reduce the operating by 12%. And capital is actually up 18% based on future projects. And so please review those books. And we will meet with you all August 9th for the budget CIP workshop for any further ‸ discussion. At the next agenda, you should receive a strategic plan update. That will be an informational item. Also, the Center for Public Safety Management just submitted their data analysis regarding the police department to us this past week. We've combed through that. We have some questions. And they will actually be on site this next week to ride along in the police department and evaluate some of our procedures and practices. And we will be communicating with them regarding their data analysis to this point. And

But they're working ‸ as hard as they can to get those lights back on for the safety of the pedestrians. So I just want to keep you informed on that. And that's all I have.

And I just want to thank Pam for continuing her support of Copper in the city, regardless of the problem she's had the last couple of weeks with water in her store. ‸ And also, speaking of water, I know, I don't know if everybody else is aware, but the mayor and I have been monitoring some situations that are not actually in the city of Cocoa, but they

they are having some serious drainage issues over there. The mayor has been kind enough to offer to help them coordinate with the county to try and get their problems solved. But for any staff members who may start hearing from people over off of Pine Street, the mayor is working with them to address that. It's ‸ not us that's causing their drainage problems. And

having some issues with their water bill. But I think I was more disappointed to see that ‸ many of them seem to feel like that it's a deliberate effort on the part of our employees and our water system to cheat them out of money. And I just want to assure them that like any business and any utility and any other system, there are always glitches ‸ and there are always problems. And we provide water to an awful lot of people. There's always going to be things that happen. And
of Cocoa's water department has purposely tried to increase somebody's water bill. There's no benefit for our employees to attempt to cheat people, and there's no benefit for us. You know, we want to solve their problems, but, you know, it's, believe me, it's not deliberate. I was just really shocked that people seem to think that our individual employees are deliberately lying about meter readings in order to make their bills go up. So I just want to assure them that's not the case, and we want to solve whatever problem is causing your increase in water bills.
the mayor, that we'll be able to get that taken care of. But I just didn't want our employees seeing those comments and thinking that we don't support them. We know they're not out there trying to cheat the public as a council. We would never assume that that's what our employees are up to. ‸ And I would also like to say I really appreciate the positive responses I heard from the citizens of Cocoa about the horrible thing that we all went through last week, all the national and international attention that our city got.

to use that opportunity to talk to their children, see how they're feeling about it, because I think that's probably the most important thing we can do is to make sure that our children are understanding just exactly what happened and why things like that should never happen. And last but definitely not least, I would just like to thank Chief Cantaloupe for

And then also, just to follow up on Brenda's comments on Port St. John, I am going to meet with, if they want to call a meeting where I can make it, I'm going to meet with them and get some concerns and bring them back. And we're going to look at everything. It's disturbing.

in our town. And I tell you what, our town, like Brenda said, it's not a reflection of the people that live here, really. It's society. It's what we've subjected our kids to, to the point where it's, you know, it's terrible. I mean,
uplifted it through policy changes and through everybody's hard work. The citizens of Cocoa, like Brenda said, are, are on board. They understand, I think, what happened in general. And we're moving the town forward.
We're going to take this and use it and, and go, guess what? We're going to go to the Florida legislature and, and see if there's consensus on both sides of the aisle. Something that's a minor change, probably. An amendment to existing law would probably be the right thing to do, in my mind. Uh, you know, where you're kind of obligated to maybe pick up a cell phone, call 911 when you see something bad happening. You like the guy or don't like the guy or whatever, or whoever it is.
I just wasn't brought up, you know, with these kind of things happening. And I can only talk about it in my terms. But I want to make sure we, uh, I tell Matt and the city manager that we want to spearhead with the sheriff, uh, the, uh, Phil Archer, state attorney, attorney's office. Uh, and our local legislators are willing to ‸ go into, into the trenches with us. And it's

the legislature. We're going to, we're going to push it. So, I don't know what else to do. If you have any comments on anything else we could probably do, uh, let's tweak, let's tweak the, the law that's already in place.
one thing, uh, ‸ reference to the TPO meetings. Ed, pay attention because you're going to like this. They moved the meetings to three o'clock in the afternoon. Yeah, I think
