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.
576 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review; 2 stretch(es) where a voice was detected and no words were recognized.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 29 voices separated from the audio.
47 short machine repair(s) (53 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 94.4% of 24,557 content words.
Dotted words (649 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
576 passages (21% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
Voice detected, no words recognized (2 stretches). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:
00:24:46 (11 s) — neither reading has words
00:51:27 (15 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.
Around our city employees. We ask, Lord, that you continue to lead and guide us in the ways that you would have us be, Lord, and show love and compassion to everyone that we come into contact with. Lord, we thank you for all that you provide for us. Continue to lead, guide, and direct us, Lord, each and every day in every decision that we make, and then we make it as a shining example of what you have done in our life. We thank you for all that you do. In your holy name we do pray. Amen.

So starting with 2.2A, the stormwater fiscal sustainability. I'd like to make a motion to approve and to amend them on page 5, paragraph 8, to strike the sentence that says Council Member Koss thank Council for their support in eliminating water quality projects. And express that this is something that concerned her. I don't, I must not have been articulate enough there, but I know I did not suggest that we eliminate water quality projects. So if we could just strike that.

Okay. Just a brief presentation with certificates to our students that participated in this year's summer internship program. Mainly the students are from Coco High, so they're, and in the background, Samantha was kind enough to put together, or I think her intern put together this presentation that's going to play in the background.

They came here not knowing what to expect, ‸ but eager and willing to engage, and they really showed us growth over this last five weeks. We couldn't be more proud of all that they've done, all the
for the city throughout that time, and I think this is due in no small part to the efforts of ‸ our partners at Brevard Career Source, and specifically Jana Bauer. She did a good job selecting, grooming, preparing them for public service. They've turned out to be true public servants, and we all appreciate their efforts,

we've had the opportunity to impact over 13 students' lives this summer. So each year, we enjoy recruiting students by presenting this opportunity at Cocoa High School in a variety of classes that we've been invited to very openly by the high school itself. Students must apply and endure a pre-screening interview, which allows us to better understand their expectations and their commitment level. Following the pre-screening interview, applicants are selected into the cohort class where the real work actually begins. In order to ensure their success, Career Source hosts two full days. It's about an eight-hour day each time of foundations training. And what we do here is we really just dive into ‸ the pre-work prep that we want them to understand. So this year, we changed it up a little bit. We utilized
and the idea behind that is using imagery to teach leadership attitudes and habits. And ‸ there's science behind it that we can associate pictures much better for those visual learners ‸ than others can, you know, with just context in a notebook. So we started with the iceberg, which represents our character, and more importantly, what comprises the 90% of us underneath.
we used here is the Titanic. The Titanic didn't sink because of a huge gash. It sunk because it hit the tip of the iceberg, not planning on what was underneath it, and had a couple of small slits in it that ultimately sank the entire ship. So we refer that back to the workforce. We took X-rays of ourselves, internally analyzing our motivations, passions, strengths, and weaknesses. We took a True Colors personality test, which helps us to identify how we think, how we act, and how we react to situations and why we do those things. It also helps for us to understand and have an appreciation for people who don't think like us, but we learn different approaches on how we can deal with them.
which taught the importance of playing your role on a team and how you, the puzzle piece, fit into a much larger, bigger picture, ultimately the box top, which is the vision of the organization you're working for. We spent a lot of time on tappers and listeners, which taught us the importance of communication, how to actively listen, and how to use your voice and when you need to speak up.

topics like how you act and dress matters, resume building, interviewing 101. And the students even heard from a local employer panel comprised of Brevard County Sheriff's Office,

Solutions Incorporated, and Walmart Distribution Center. The students had a full-blown opportunity to be able to ask any questions that they wanted to those employers. So students then interviewed and were placed in internships based on the ‸ best matches for themselves and the managers. The students this year were represented in code enforcement, customer service, engineering, fleet, human resources, IT, leisure services, public relations, and water field operations. As Lauren had mentioned, 80% of these students had never worked before.
young adults that are sitting behind me. I'm also ‸ proud and honored to have worked with your amazing managers. Each year, your managers dive in and try to provide the best experience possible for these students.
with a very in-depth understanding and respect for how a city functions and what it truly takes operationally. To my students, you have sincerely impressed me with your work ethics, your commitment, and dedication to learning all that you can.
you light up with passion as you explained to me what you had been learning. I saw many of you come alive as you found your confidence. Some of you have changed the course of your future based on the experience that you had here.
Most ‸ importantly, when you all were challenged with an incentive, thank you for making perfect attendance at work these past five weeks. Everyone had perfect attendance. Wow. Wow. Something to celebrate.

I've always had a passion for writing and a talent for turning out words like no other, and Samantha showed me that there's a career out there for me. I hope every young adult get a chance to help to have someone manage them like Samantha to guide me, because not only to show me a future career waiting for me, but she also helped me build professional contacts and get my foot in the door by allowing me to be a student member of the Florida Public Relations Association and the Space Coast chapter. My internship sadly did come to an end last week, but I'll always have this experience for life.

I was working as an administrative assistant to Melinda in WFO. Honestly, I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I came to this organization, but I knew that it would be a job where I could earn amazing experience, and I was right.

He is currently assigned to our Bravo squad. Last week after returning home from working his normal shift, he was preparing to shower when he heard screeching tires and a loud bang. Corporal Bracken immediately got dressed and went outside to find out what had happened. He discovered a vehicle had crashed and was submerged upside down in a roadside ditch. As others stood by, not knowing what to do, Corporal Bracken did not hesitate to enter the water and rescue the two people trapped inside of this vehicle with only about six inches of air left to breathe. His efforts saved the lives of both people in the vehicle. Agent Erskine has been with us since 2008. He is currently assigned to our Special Investigations Unit. Agent Erskine was off duty on a Thursday night evening, helping a friend with home improvement projects. When he heard a neighbor screaming for help, Agent Erskine immediately ran across the street and found a young male on the kitchen floor. Agent Erskine believed the man was experiencing a possible drug overdose and immediately began to render aid. The victim was not conscious but was breathing and had a strong pulse. Agent Erskine continued life-saving protocols until Sebastian police and fire medics arrived. ‸ The victim was transported to the hospital for additional care and ‸ was completely revived.

we are so very proud of these officers for their quick response. Whether they are on patrol duty or on personal time, they are always prepared to do whatever is necessary to help others. Our citizens are fortunate to have them in the front lines protecting and serving. And I would like to say thank you to each of them and then allow council to also thank them. All

and in that it states that on an annual basis the city's investment manager shall submit to the city's finance director council and investment committee if there isn't one a written report on the long term poor investment funds so at this time i would like to introduce john grady with public trust advisors he is the city's investment manager that was hired march 13 2018 through and
evening mr mayor members of the council john grady with public trust advisors i appreciate the opportunity to be here my first time presenting to you in our role as investment advisor and just take a moment ‸ congratulations on the cocoa works program i started my career as an intern in the office of management and budget in orange county just a few years ago and my entire career has been and then led to my first job as a fiscal analyst at orange county and that's how i got started in the public sector and it's been very rewarding so congratulations to you on that program
is first i can that i can open the presentation uh let's see ‸ here there we go i thought we'd start with a few slides on the economic environment right now in the market given uh some significant changes really in the last few months and i will be a brief and respectful of your time this evening but certainly want to answer any questions that you have as I go through this as well. First I'd like to say we've been working very closely with miss Bowman for this presentation for the investment program in general and we continue to take steps to improve make sure we're efficient and as you know you have a recommendation for updated investment policy here on your agenda tonight
we saw interest rates actually come down about a full percentage point along the the yield curve. And next week is when the Fed meets and they will likely cut the overnight rate
And that would be the first time they actually reduce that rate in over a decade. The last time they did that was right around the start of the the last recession. That said, the economy seems to be on pretty good footing here in the u.s we've seen housing prices increase for the better part of the last seven years and in fact as you can see from that

And then last month about 224 000 jobs were created we suggest that the labor market still remains strong. As I mentioned, interest rates have come down and we'll talk a little bit about that how you have a very well diversified investment program to to protect you both in rising and declining interest rates. And as I mentioned there that last bullet generally speaking, uh things seem to be in in on good footing here in the u.s now when we talk about fed rate cuts and you're likely all reading a bit about the an oncoming recession and when that may happen and certainly no one has a crystal ball. But why why are we talking about that when really some strong economic indicators here domestically
of what's going on primarily in China and in Europe. And so what we're showing here. I know there's a lot on this slide, but really the takeaway is if you look at the red and green dotted line. Those are the longer term trends of economic growth in China and Germany. and then the blue line represents the longer term trend of growth here in the u.s so while we have been an upward trend again, you see these other larger economies that have been slowing for the last few years and so the concern is that that will bleed over into the u.s economy
will continue to spur economic growth here domestically. And that remains to be seen they generally don't cut rates as when we're in a growth mode, ‸ they did in fact do that back in 1998 they cut the rate then and it led to. A little bit more ‸ we were in the second longest expansion back then and it it contributed to growth for the next couple of years of course

really to that core of a point or almost zero and in the public sector. We were really impacted by that because we have to remain very safe and very short in our maturity structure for our investment portfolio. So when investments in the short part come down quite a bit it really impacts the ability to earn interest on our funds. And
and then in 2015 and you can see as you move to the right part of the chart. We saw them raise the rate uh nine times uh through the last December and it's been at two and two and a half percent since December

is the market is actually also pricing up to four more rate cuts in the next 12 months and where that is important for us. Is to ensure that we help mitigate any reinvestment risk or
But right now there's a potential for rates to come down by by more than one full percent which would be impactful on earnings. So uh finding that balance and then this chart is really just to sumsum it up for you to show we after two years again of rising rates where we were that blue line shows us where we were back in November. And again, you can see a pretty dramatic decline in rates from last November uh through July of this year.year um And then lastly, just looking forward. This orange dotted line on this chart really just shows where does the market anticipate rates being again.
But right now, given the information that's out there, the thought is that longer term rates may level off about where they are now, but we may see short-term rates come down by as much as a full percent, again, just based on current information. So that was a bit of a summary. I'd love to you take any questions on this part. ‸ again, the next section is to really review your portfolio strategy and our take on that.
right. Thank you. So with that, we'll jump into your investment program review. ‸ And here on the first slide is really just a summary of what you're currently invested in. And let me just start by saying again that the primary objectives for your investments, number one, is safety of principle. And that's ensuring that what you invest in, that you're going to get that principle back when it matures. And certainly hope to get interest payments along the way. So safety is the first objective. Liquidity is the next one. We want to make sure that your investment portfolio is structured so that you can ensure that you have ongoing liquidity to pay those expenses
anything ahead of time to do that. the third is yield. And of course, that's important as well. We want to help work with you and work with miss Bowman and her staff to ensure that you have a program that is earning a competitive yield in the market, because interest earnings can be helpful, certainly when you're trying to balance the budget. So again, you're currently using local government investment pools. They're
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:35:40–00:35:41 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
rated investment pools. They provide daily liquidity. you have a money market You have a money market fund with the Community Bank of the South. And then you'll see here we have five investment portfolios that are structured based on liquidity needs.
up if you have any questions. But the goal of this particular chart is to show you where you're invested, but also and mainly to ensure that you're in compliance with your policy. So on the right hand side of the chart, you can see all of your investments where we actually break it out into individual issues for you. So you're not only
showing where you're invested. And again, the goal is to provide you that level of detail and how you're invested. So jumping into the individual's portfolios, the first one is your enhanced cash portfolio. This is a very short-term portfolio in nature. It generally has a weighted average maturity or duration, and I'll use those terms synonymously. But a weighted average maturity of this portfolio is usually closer to about ‸ three quarters of a year to a year. And it's normally structured to where you invest. You have maturities coming each month,
achieve that type of earning. So the enhanced cash portfolio isn't necessarily as advantageous as it is in other environments. And so what's happening here is we're working with miss Bowman and her staff and likely gonna ‸ based on your liquidity needs, transitions these assets into your operating portfolio, which is designed for longer term expenses. And the goal there would be to achieve some higher income opportunities by investing out a little longer, since you don't need these funds for this short period of time. And again, using your bank account and your lgips for your daily liquidity. This ‸ on all of your portfolios, but I'll mention it here, are very uh well diversified. Again, they're all invested in highly rated securities and investments. And it goes without saying, but I want to mention it here. It's all fixed income.
So again, the idea of fixed income securities is that they have a maturity date that you would receive principal when those securities mature. your next portfolio that we'll cover tonight is your operating portfolio ‸ the market value showing shown there. You'll see the duration or average maturity of this portfolio as of June is 1.28 years and if we compare that to last september where it was 1.66 years you can see where that's drifted a little bit shorter as these maturities have come closer these securities rather have come closer to maturity. And
and you have a laddered structure, we'll look to reinvest those out there and look to extend the duration somewhat to help protect you. Again, because if interest rates come down and all of your investments are very short, uh you're going to‸ that reinvestment rate risk. So it's, again, finding that balance for you without trying toto make a market call necessarily.
And the reserve portfolio, you can see, is that this is based on your bond indenture requirements. So maintaining these balances is required by any of the debt covenants that you have. And
earns income to help support the city. But also we don't want this to be too long because the bond covenants also typically talk about how market changes can affect the market value. And there are market value requirements. so We find to find a balance ‸ here, but generally this is what the this reserve portfolio is designed to do, is to make sure that you're meeting the requirements of your bond indenture. Your debt service reserve is, uh again, another uh reserve type portfolio. ‸ this actually is as a portfolio you

these charts on the bottom left hand side, your your current policy allows for up to seven years. We're going to recommend you reduce that to five, but currently your investment
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:40:26–00:40:29 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
simply with the way the markets are working and the yield curve. So your portfolios are generally in three years and under right now, so you can see that. So when I say long term, again, I want to make sure we keep that in perspective and not uh much longer as you might see in other areas. And finally, is your 2018 bond portfolio. This portfolio we structured working closely with miss well we work closely with both of
ongoing liquidity as the project gets into its spending mode. And what we do is we work with the city with each maturity. If you don't need those proceeds, then we provide a reinvestment recommendation. If you do,

I know that's a lot of information, but hopefully that was helpful for you. And and that summarizes that part of it. The next, what the last session I have, and maybe we'll talk about it when we do the investment policy. I'll save this last slide for when we do the investment policy uh recommended updates. With that, I'll i'll complete this part this portion of my presentation.

so really financial related but certainly um fossil fuels uh being exxon and Chevron have been uh not popular but they've been utilized in public investments simply because their ratings and the credit quality of those but given that question I'm not sure if you're opposed to that let me just make sure that I mentioned that we have an investment policy in place and it provides some flexibility so if there are additional restrictions that you want social restrictions for instance that you don't want to invest in fossil fuels or other socially responsible type investments

and apartment 1901 in Cocoa, Florida, 32926. And I want to thank the mayor, city council, staff, and also Cocoa citizens for giving me a few minutes to speak this evening. So this is the second time that I'm going to get up at a city council meeting,
to our neighbors. So in the past few days, a post appeared on my local next door app. And for those who are not familiar with this app, it is primarily used by neighbors in a geographical area to look for lost pets, sell items locally, get referrals for home services, find jobs,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:48:03–00:48:03 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
that sort of thing. However, in this post that I am referring to did not include any of those items. It started out naming names, referring to a lawsuit that inferred that neighbors should attend the next city council meeting to express their displeasure. The post pretty much went downhill from there, and I just want to be clear.

in our community. And most of us in this room tonight do not have a law degree, nor did anyone on this, in this next door app conversation string, identify themselves as having a law background. And I just feel like we are not judge and jury. We are neighbors. Please be assured that it was me who filed the complaint with the next door administrator to take the post down. And if anybody wants to speak with me about this, my decision to ask that post be stopped, just tap me on the shoulder when I finish here, and we can exchange information.
I'm happy to speak with you about this civilly because we are neighbors and we can speak anytime. So this past election cycle was very contentious here in our city of Cocoa.

council meetings is all of a sudden, there would be budget items would have to be moved. And ‸ a lot of times what would happen is ‸ without really a voter discussion of what I consider a public discussion, we would find out that items would be approved by the city manager to be paid X amount more on contracts that the city had.
there is an item that is not going for competitive process for the air. HVAC units that are going to be used at the water department. And rather the city manager has been given carte blanche to do business with a company in Maitland.

due to the fact that addresses um specific uses that are um permitted under the zoning district designation. I believe you're here to talk about the ordinance. So I'm not going to steal your thunder Thank
um So just a little background. um The ordinance came about uh because we had an application earlier this year for the, it's two parcels, but it's the former Bank of America parts of the property, just one block over.
and if that would be then the principal use because the bank is is not there. So the current zoning and the CBD district allows the use as a special exception, so we went to the Board of Adjustment for that. However, in that process, we realized that
and includes a big portion of the village, does not allow that use. So therefore, this ordinance is in in part to address that. And so what we're proposing about language of the ordinance is to allow parking as a principal use by special exception in the CBD district and also the Cocoa Village sub district of the Cocoa Waterfront Overlay District. With a footnote, and that states
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:09:42–01:09:42 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
‸ parking uses should be located either in a garage conforming to requirements of the subsection or, with the exception of municipal lots, in a surface lot that's shared with a commercial, institutional, or civic building in accordance with the on-site location requirements. And
parcel that is solely occupied by a surface lot that's in existence on the effective date of the ordinance would be, therefore, exempt. And that's exhibit A. I looked through, you can see in the, now that we've got this up for the public as well, the map, all of the green parcels are this sub district and ‸ the two in red are ‸ the two existing parcels in that area that, where the principal use is parking, but there is no structure on that property. So, the concern was that
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:11:23–01:11:30 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
don't have to allow us ‸ to use that parking at all, because it's a liability, uh to them. And, uh so regardless of what happens or how we go here, you know, if we denied it, then basically he can just block off the parking and, and, ‸ there we go.

Yes, his special exception use encompasses that area, the south part where the drive-through is. His plan was to to make that parking as well. uh It wasn't gonna ‸ take the overhead uh ‸ down because it was a cost he didn't need to necessarily incur now. But there would be parking delineated under that uh in that

There is another... um We'll just say there's other individuals that own that parcel. So as a whole, because the building sits across both parcels. And until such time that they can... you know I know
And they've been working with them to try to come to uh some... Because they own their property outright. There's no debt. And they shared that with us. But that's the hold up right now is there's not

unity and ownership of those three parcels until such time. i mean But they have. And we've put them in contact with uh one of the thethe consultants that helped develop the vision. ‸ Going back to the 2008 waterfront uh plan that showed what the development potential is for that property. and uh
agreement from those other property owners, there'sI think there are two sisters or cousins that own it. and But until they can ‸ obtain that, they can't really do much.
that's well actually, they are accessing it. And what this is going to allow is if somebody parking there and he wants to charge, it's because, you know, essentially somebody could park there fall, he's got their liability, but he's not receiving any income to back me to buy an insurance, pay for help, pay for the insurance to mitigate his risk. So i think I think that's the driving measure behind his request because people are using his parking for free and with it

Good afternoon, Mayor and Council. So I'm going to give you a presentation to kind of run through the process and show you information to help you decide on the
that you're going to adopt. ‸ Just to review, this is part of the Truth and Millage or Trim process, which is the process by which governing bodies adopt their millage rates and their budgets. It's a joint process with the property appraiser and the tax collector. The millage rate that is going to be adopted tonight would go out on the trim notices that the property appraisal will be mailing out shortly.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 01:19:20–01:19:21 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
It's also to adopt the proposed millage rate. And so again, to be in compliance with the statutes because this whole trim process is in the Florida statutes. The city has to establish a proposed millage rate by August
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:19:48–01:19:50 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
of trim compliance process for the next fiscal year. This vote requires a simple majority. So three out of five votes. Also at this meeting, Council is going to be requested in the adoption of this resolution to
on September 11th at 6 p.m. I would like to remind Council that you'll be voting on a proposed millage rate at this meeting tonight. And then in the future, if you want to make any changes to the millage rate, you can only vote for a decrease in the millage rate.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 01:20:40–01:20:51 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
year in 2020. They're on the bottom. The city experienced a 12.6% increase. A lot of that was due to a couple properties coming online and being included in the taxable values this year. At the top of the chart, you can see that the negative numbers, that was where the city was losing property values because of the economic downturn.
And so the city has been able to experience some property tax increases, property value increases, I'm sorry. ‸ So on this slide, just to kind of review it to you, with you, the previous slide showed you the property values. And this is kind of a history of the millage rates that have been adopted. The kind of middle column here, it says Avalorum revenue at 95%. The statutes again require that we budget at least 95% of the Avalorum revenue that is calculated.
And as the city attorney stated in the resolution, that's what council's being requested to adopt as a proposed millage rate at this meeting. At that millage rate of 5.979 mills, we would generate revenue at 95% of approximately $6.2 million, which would result in a $719,000 increase from the previous year,
13.1% increase in Avalorum taxes collected. And then I would also like to note on this slide that since 2015, council has kept the millage rate at 5.979

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:23:02–01:23:10 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
So at this meeting, you have a choice to either keep the millage rate the same at 5.979 mills, go to the rollback rate of 5.7844 mills, or do what's called a supermajority rate.

different CRAs, and so the city is required to pay into the CRAs the tax increment funding. So whenever the CRAs were established, there was a base rate of the property value, so any increase in the property values, the city has to pay for that increase into the CRAs.

So collectively, all the CRAs would see an increase in their revenues of $84,000. And then over to the right-hand side of the slide, it's demonstrating what that change would be if the rollback rate was adopted.

So as part of the adoption of the tax rate, usually council wants to know what's the impact to a single-family homeowner predominantly. So this slide here shows what the ‸ impact would be adopting the 5.979 millage rate as compared to fiscal year 19. Of note, we took into account a $50,000 homestead exemption, and also in the middle column there, you see the valuation with a 1.9% increase. Due to ‸ Save Our Homes, the increase in homeowners' property values can either
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:26:08–01:26:09 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
3% or CPI, and in this instance, the CPI was less, and so it's capped at a 1.9% increase. So we provide you some different examples of valuations of homes

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:26:35–01:26:38 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
that someone would experience would be about $2,500 on a $300,000 home. Next thing that council usually wants to know is, how do we stand compared to other cities in the county? So this slide demonstrates for you what we have found out through talking to other finance people, what the proposed millage rates are. And also, I'd like to note, the ranking on this slide is based on the proposed millage rate, not on the current millage rate.
looking at the current millage rate. So if adopted at 5.979 mills, the city would rank sixth. However, I would also like to note, down at the bottom, Cape Canaveral and West Melbourne, their millage rates are really low. And that's because they have contracted services with the county for either police or fire. So they have to take that component out of their millage rate, and that's why their millage rate is that much lower.

So the next steps after this meeting, the work's not done yet. We'll be having a budget workshop on August 7th at 5.30 p.m. with council, where we'll be going over with you the proposed budget and what's included in that. Then you'll be having the first hearing to adopt the tentative millage and tentative budget at the meeting on September 11th.
provided with the budget where we are right now. Y'all were provided this evening the budget to review, to get ready for that budget workshop on the 7th. So at this meeting, again, per the resolution that the city attorney read, you're being requested to adopt a resolution establishing the rollback rate. And then you're being requested to adopt a proposed millage rate of 5.979 mils.
Yes, ma'am. Just glad you got that reminder in there. Just ‸ whatever we set it at, just remember, you can't go back and go above that, but you can decrease it.

Yes, Mayor and Council. There's actually been a change to this agenda item. Since this agenda item was entered and published, there was still a code violation on the property. That violation has been corrected.
there are currently no code violations on the property. So in talking with the city attorney, the suggestion was that not to do the settlement agreement and just treat this like a regular lien reduction. So staff's recommendation to Council would be to reduce

for the following reasons. I am 21 years old, employed a single mother of a two-year-old who will be celebrating her third birthday next week. I grew up in the Broadmoor Acres neighborhood. Moved there in 2000.
moved out of the area in 2016 due to the bad area, but today it has improved considerably, and I see it continuing to turn around to be a place I feel comfortable raising my daughter in our own home.

offered through Community Housing Alliance. The reduction ‸ amount of 2,500 is more than double what the city has invested in the issues that once existed, ‸ but which have been corrected and will not be an issue if I am able to close on this purchase tomorrow and become a homeowner at a payment I can't afford. The opportunity to own my own home will provide my daughter and myself a level of security for our future that will allow me to thrive and provide for my child. I am here tonight with a mentor from my church and some family members who will speak to my commitment in making a better life for myself and my daughter.

ahead. I'm sorry. Well, I ‸ wanted to make an address the last, the lien reduction situation. Oh, okay. Go ahead. I ‸ have my light on. Oh, ‸ sorry. I didn't see it. I'm sorry. I'll go back.
I think with this particular situation, yeah, one of my closest guys and one of the guys that's within the city of Coco, you ‸ made several remarks regarding this situation. And I want to kind of talk on public about this situation. I believe everyone on the council that I sit with is able to make a professional decision
matter how personal they may feel about a particular person or party. I believe that. And several remarks were made through email that I felt disrespected because I sit up here with all of you. And
But I just don't like anyone to insinuate that anyone on this council cannot make professional decisions no matter what it may be. ‸ So I just want to make that statement.
And if the process is followed and it's followed correctly, then I don't have an issue with it. I mean, that's just the way it is. So it doesn't matter who you are.
Well, and the other thing I'll say, just for the record, that as someone, I was a single parent for 10 years. In fact, home ownership really helped elevate myself and my sons by an appreciation in the property that later paid off. And ‸ my being able to get a graduate degree, my helping my sons get their college degrees. So it really is a great thing. But also, Abby and I sat in a workshop, the Save Our Indian River Lagoon Citizen Oversight Committee last Friday and learned about pipes. ‸ And we've got, you know, the first thing I, when I saw this property, the fact that it was sinking is I really wanted to verify that we didn't have some pipes beneath that were leaking. And ‸ home ownership is a great thing. There are some risks involved and it really concerns me. And I know that the mortgager is a benevolent soul, but it concerns me that she's taking this on without having an inspection. Those cast iron pipes, what is the lifespan? 50, 60, well, they're well beyond their lifespan. So also having been a homeowner and having my laterals go out and having to come up with $20,000, you know, that can be, it can be hard and some people just walk away from it. So, you know, I hope that that there are some protections in place for people, you know, that ‸ are trying to elevate themselves like that so it doesn't, in fact, end up being down the road something they regret.
agenda item is requesting approval of an update of the city's investment policy. The last time the policy was updated in 2010 via resolution 2010-101 at a meeting held on July 27, 2010. And so it's necessary periodically to go through the city's policies, particularly some of these big, broad, overriding ones like the investment policy. So I've worked with public trust advisors, or PTA, and

and I really wanted to cover the June 30th just to bring you all up to speed on your holdings. when you mentioned those names. You did, as of September 30th,
But I bring that up because it is something that I would ask for you all to consider because if that's something you wouldn't want us to invest in in the future, we would want to know that. Okay, thank you. ‸ And then ‸ I'll be brief, but be sure, please let me know what questions you have on this.
Bowman covered and really the overriding issue, not even issue, the overriding comments, we added a summary table to the policy, which now allows you and any readers of your policy to go to one page in the document And
the maximum maturity and the asset allocation. So it's a nice summary table. We did not delete the detail language. We simply moved it as an attachment to the policy. So you have all the detail that you need for the permitted, but you have a nice summary table. And then what we also did was we just went through some of the language was ambiguous. So we want to just make it a little clearer for the reader and for you all. So we just really reworded some of the paragraphs. We updated the performance measurements to be appropriate with your overall strategy and also to give
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:43:02–01:43:03 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
Bowman and you the council the ability to be flexible in different market environments, as we talked about during the first presentation. And then also there's
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:43:11–01:43:11 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
attachment for a, which is a questionnaire, which we recommend for any investments from the local government investment pools. The provider of that program needs
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:43:20–01:43:23 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
a great tool for you to evaluate whether that's an appropriate investment by answering these detailed questions. And then finally, we updated some language on the roles and responsibilities within the policy and really what we wanted to do here, number one, clarify the designation or delegation of the finance director, Ms. Bowman, but also delegating authority to the investment manager for any externally managed funds, but it also puts a more of a requirement on your external investment manager to provide Ms. Bowman and to the council certain information on a periodic basis. And that's important for you to have that information for compliance and other reasons. So those are really the highlights. I did mention ‸ you have a seven-year final maturity on a couple of your investments, treasuries and agencies in particular, and we've recommended you reduce that to five years. We generally don't see you investing out that long just due to the volatility, but it still stays in line with safety, liquidity, and yield are your primary objectives.

are, you know, higher traveled than some of the others, heavier weight vehicles and so while that is a snapshot and they have condition reports based on the roadway conditions at that time, we're now four years beyond that and some of the changes that they've predicted essentially have occurred and in some cases they haven't and so as part of that study, one of the recommendations was that staff actually do field inspections on a regular basis. In this particular case,
but he was going out to those sites to inspect the condition of the full roadway. So, you know, I haven't received the condition report on that yet. Just because the item's approved doesn't mean they actually go out and do it. So, okay, that's what I wanted to hear.

settlement authority for the tentative settlement agreement between the ‸ former City of Cocoa Police Officer Ronnie McCarron and the City of Cocoa. Administrative Services.
As mentioned, ‸ the requested action is to request settlement authority for the tentative settlement agreement between former City of Cocoa Police Officer Ronnie McCarron and the City of Cocoa authorizing the payment of the workers' compensation settlement and to authorize the city manager to finalize and execute such legal agreement to complete the settlement in accordance with the settlement authority approved by the council. The reason that this is coming to you, our workers' comp attorney works with claimants for potential settlements. It reduces a future liability to the city to settle these claims. And this is above our city manager signing authority So we bring this to council to approve the tentative settlement. The total is $100,000.

many of you know we have had, for many years, over 25 years, two separate organizations in the village here. We have the Historic Cocoa Village Association, which is a merchant's association, and then we have our Cocoa Main Street program, which is part of the Florida Main Street and which is part of the National Main Street program.
have Cocoa Main Street in the past few years has had some difficult years. They've had some trouble getting members and they've had trouble getting volunteers and kind of sustaining the association. This Historic Cocoa Village Association has been thriving. They have many merchant members. and so because the merchant's association is thriving, it makes it a little bit more difficult for the Main Street Association to thrive just because they are kind of going for the same goal, and no need to join two different associations. So both programs have the same goals in mind, and so the ultimate goal of this is to merge these two groups into one association that will be better for the entire downtown. ‸ And so if you're not familiar, our Main Street program has many benefits. The Main Street program can do a lot of things that will help the city and use volunteer power that necessarily like the city may not necessarily be able to do. And they use a four-point system which covers economic ‸ vitality, design, organization and promotion of a historic downtown.
So they get community input and consensus regarding proposed community initiatives, develop strategies and procedures for district maintenance and beautification, ‸ organize volunteers of merchants, residents, stakeholders, and then connect the district to the community through input, involvement, service and socialization. Now, many of the above activities ‸ would then become the responsibility of the municipality which we have a little bit harder time to do.
and both the historic Cocoa Village Association and the Main Street program ‸ saw the benefit of these two associations becoming one. So they're in the process right now of becoming one association after many years.
In exchange for that lease agreement, they would provide ‸ certain services to the city. So there was a number of projects that were outlined in the lease agreement. Things like our traffic box project that they helped with, the
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 01:56:39–01:56:45 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
So there's a number of different ways that we have supported the Main Street program in the past. And so what we're looking to do is that lease agreement is coming to an end. And with the new association forming, we're looking to start a new lease agreement. And with the kind of merger of the two groups coming together, there's going to be an expanded staff and they're going to need more space. So we are proposing the use of two offices upstairs. And at the same, what we have done in the past for Main Street, which would be a dollar a year, this group would be paying the common area maintenance fees, which are outlined in the agenda item.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:57:36–01:57:39 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
So once that is finalized and the paperwork from the state is signed, it will be forwarded to the city manager and then the agreement, if it gets approved, will then be assigned to the new association. So right now, it's a three-party contract, But once the new association is formed, it would then be assigned to the new association.
in that agreement, also, there are some scope of services that we included in there, What this new association will be doing in partnership with the city and what they can do to help the city. So some things that we have included for the time being are promotional tables for the city at their upcoming events, our city logo on their promotional materials for their events.
toy drive, and our school supply drive, which we're actually currently in right now. They will help promote our Hot Cocoa Holidays event, which will happen for the month of December and a little bit in November as well, which would be a really fun celebration of our National Cocoa Day. So we're really excited about that. And then they will also help promote our city government week in October. So those are just some preliminary scope of services that we have included in this agreement. But our intent is to sit down with the new association once the board has been developed and come up with a more detailed scope of services and things that this new association can provide to the city.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:59:42–01:59:42 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
has to be the new detailed scope of services would have to be done by March 2020. So that gives them time to get their new board in place and get a feel for what they can handle and what they feel like they can provide for the city.

and payments to eligible retirees for Medicare Part B reimbursement. So the city currently has this Medicare plan for retirees. There's some that we pay for 100%, and then there's some that stay on at their own expense. And our retiree benefits vary based on the date of their hire, and it's based on their age. So this is approving that. It was a reduction on the base rate. Last year, the administration had waived what was called an ACA insurer fee. This year, that rate has been added into the renewal. However, if the government does waive that fee, it will be waived. But at this point, the administration hasn't said they're going to waive it, ‸ which means this is an increase

Yes, I would like to note for the record on item number 19-328, there was an error in the section where I was talking about the increase in Avalor revenue. It was reported as 519-321 on the agenda originally, and that increase really was should be 719-321. That's under the background information and also under the budgetary impact section. And I would like to let staff know that I would normally be bringing the investment update in January on an agenda meeting. I wait until the fiscal year kind of gets, close out, gets underway. And as a regular item, I usually bring it back to Council in January rather than in the middle of the year. So that's why I asked the investment manager to give you just kind of a brief update of where we are right now.
That seems to have been going really well. We haven't really had any complaints ‸ from customers. However, we're coming up pretty soon at the beginning of the month, and that's usually when a lot of properties

As you know, there's a vacancy on the downtown CRA board, and the city council, of course, serves as that board, and there are two lay appointments that are made. So we have this vacancy. My understanding from speaking with the clerk is that there are three potential applicants currently on file.
question to the council this evening is whether or not you have any special requirements, given that this vacancy will be filled by a person that's going to serve with you in your capacity as the CRA.
Engaged in business. Yes. There's a definition that's been construed by Florida Attorney General that provides guidance as to what engaged in business or profession in CRA is. I mean, I can certainly provide that information to the council ‸ for your information, because the person would have to meet the eligibility requirements.

I would like the opportunity just to review those applications. And, you know, maybe potentially we may can appoint, you know, we have all of us have opportunity to potentially appoint someone to that, to those positions.

because there's ‸ a lot of people that are very involved in the downtown. So definitely, definitely want to advertise it because it's been a long time since we've had an open position. Jan and Captain Ed have both been on that board for years.
Or we could, you can go ahead and do that and put like a 14 or 21 day, you know, requirement to submit an application. They would have to fill out the city's standard uniform board application. And of course, ‸ you know, ‸ there would have to be an eligibility check done that the city does on a routine basis for ‸ appointments.
And as Councilman Goins indicated, each council member would have the ability to nominate somebody for consideration for that appointment. And ‸ you all have to decide that by majority ‸ vote. I'm at the appropriate time. ‸ Thank you,
Yes, Mr. Mayor. One, just want to report to council. Prior to leaving for vacation, I did have a meeting with Representative Saroy, discussed ‸ potential issues for the upcoming session, as well as potential projects that he might be willing to consider funding. It just, Mr.

One was regarding the consent agenda of the HVAC system. My understanding, Dial Plant, they have an existing contract with a company. And in order to standardize the system ‸ with the existing contract for service and repair, the agenda item did request for that sole source. So there was that consistency in the maintenance in ‸ terms of repair parts and interoperability with the existing equipment that existed out there. That was the reason why. And then I ‸ thought it was either one of two instances, one emergency purchases that happened and then are placed on the agenda.

covers that and required if there is a bona fide emergency consistent with the parameters in the financial operations manual, to notify you, which has occurred in the past,
And then depending on the amount of the expenditure, you received an email. But ‸ what has always happened, regardless if you receive notification by phone or by an email, is that we bring it back before Council ‸ for the sole purposes of promoting the ‸ transparency and accountability, especially the rights to emergency purchases.

Ms. Kinney, but it might be related to contingency. And as you'll know, in ‸ this agenda packet, under informational reports, many times you approve a project with a contingency amount that authorizes me to approve, you know, change orders within that amount, but it's still governed by my spending,

Yeah, just a couple of things, Mr. Mayor. I spent the last couple of weeks up in Georgia and had the opportunity to visit some wonderful little downtowns
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 02:21:14–02:21:14 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
some small cities and one of the downtowns I visited, I was fortunate enough to get some time from one of their council people and find out that they're having a lot of similar issues with their parking and other things that take place in the downtown and employees and merchants sometimes taking up parking, which really should be for visitors

got some private parking garages attached to some of their bigger businesses, but they are having a problem in getting people to park in their parking garages, even though they only charge a dollar an hour for parking. So it's going to be coming up on a future agenda for them to, instead of charging for parking in their parking garages, that parking is now going to be free and
and they have streets lined with crepe myrtles, which do not destroy the sidewalks. They still have some lovely oaks, but those are placed in places where
They have lovely brick pavers, but they're combined with concrete. Their sidewalks, lucky for them, are much wider than ours. But they were very eager to share the information about their parking struggles and how they managed to get their parking structures done in the length of time that it took. They also have two hotels, one small boutique

into an old building and remodeled and renovated that old building. And now they have just built a new courtyard by Marriott on the periphery of the downtown. Those also were very difficult and a long time in coming.

but it's basically a civic center and event venue. So there were a lot of similarities. It was great. I'll be bringing that up as we go through some of our processes and some of those things. But one of the things that I found the most interesting, which came up with the mayor's discussion of butt cans tonight, is that there is no smoking or vaping allowed on the streets in their downtown. And they have signs that say, we appreciate you helping keep our downtown clean.
So that might be something we want to look at besides butt cans. Just wrap that up. And earlier I mentioned Mr. Jack Wharton, who nobody here remembers except Mr. Greenwood out there. I do. And of course the city attorney and the city manager.
when the village was struggling, really, really struggling. And he and his partner, Mr. Bolin, had been in business up in Indiana and had a lot of experience. And they took over managing the craft fairs and the merchants association. They built the membership of the merchants association up. They built the craft fairs from nothing to over 300 vendors at every craft fair. There were waiting lists for the craft fairs. They worked very hard and they invested their own money. They

And ‸ I had a nervous breakdown in the process because anybody who knows Jack Wharton knows that you couldn't work for him without having a nervous breakdown.
me one time he made his secretary cry every day of his work life. And after I met his secretary she informed me that she learned very rapidly that if she started the day off with tears the day went much better because he was remorseful for the rest of the day. So he just thought he was making her cry. He did pass away this week at the age of 90.
going to be a service on August 4th in Bloomington, Indiana for him. But his niece Susan and I are going to try and put something together here locally because he had so many friends in the village for the multiple years that he spent here. And so we will let everybody know if we managed to put something together. He had a lot of friends still here in the Brevard County area. And his legacy in Cocoa Village, especially with the Brevard Symphony Orchestra, will hopefully

the phone, dialing hotlines, calling ‸ the police department, you know, see something, say something. You know, those things connect with each other. So it's not one person, but we all are ‸ connected. So I definitely, you know, I wanted to say that because, ‸ like I said, social media right now, the political environment that we're in right now, it is a very different space. And it's a lot of people that say a lot of different things, but when you throw, you know, words out there, I'm going to make sure I'm going to do my research. And I'm going to get those numbers. And
to make sure, okay, where are we right now? So, so, but I just, I just wanted to bring that up. I think this was an awesome meeting today. I think a lot of things got accomplished this weekend, Saturday, we doing a helping volunteer at Clear Lake Middle School. Well, the former Clear Lake Middle School. We're doing a backpack giveaway. I think that's through the county, correct?

interesting. I've got several things on my agenda that I'd like to research further in that regard ‸ in making code enforcement a good tool for our communities. And also, I'm sorry that Jenny left, because I was going to say that her comments in regard to the dollars, and I know the particular item she mentioned, I understand why we were doing that. But in studying the budget, what I've come to realize

so as much as possible, it would be good if we can, you know, try to spend that money within our own communities. And it also goes, one of the things I asked for in the budget was that some incentive for our employees to actually live in Cocoa, to actually take on that ambassador role of living here. And hopefully, as our housing improves, that will be a more desirable thing to do, because I think that we'll have a stronger workforce that way. And then I'll throw one out for Alec. Last week, I went to the Titusville Tree Workshop, and I would love to see us have one of those. In fact, what they're doing is rewriting their tree ordinance so that they, you know, really begin to appreciate and keep their heritage trees so that they do an inventory of their canopy so that they can effectively use it for stormwater management.
so that we're actually looking towards storm preparedness. And so I'm glad we, you know, voted on the tax rate tonight, and hopefully that will go through so we can accomplish some things.

Totally disrespectful. And ‸ it's a tough job. And they're human just like any of us, you know. And we know that they have their specialized training and so forth and so on. And ‸ I just, you know, hope and pray that they continue to treat everybody ‸ the same. Because, you know,

a criminal and not everybody is a ‸ thug or whatever, a drug dealer or whatever, so far and so on. But they do a wonderful job. I'm proud of them. And ‸ that remains to be said. If there's any resources our police department need to do their job, ‸ then I'm in it 100%. I always have been. And ‸ I'm calling the chief whenever there are issues.
If there's some concerns from citizens, I'll take it to the city manager so he can pass it on the chief as well. So just want to squash that in there that, you know, that we don't support our police department. And it's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard of. But anyway, also a big kudos to Councilman Goins.

you know, I don't want to harp on that too much. I mean, just the three officers that was up here today, I mean, that's a reflection of what happens in our community and what our officers do at times, from time to time.
I know we've talked about the breakfast, it was a breakfast, and I've kind of taken a consensus from some of the ‸ boards. ‸ And it's almost 100% everyone said the same thing, dinner.
