Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. No recording can be started from here.
58 suspect passage(s) marked in place.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 7 voices separated from the audio.
7 short machine repair(s) (13 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs, whether a voice was detected where the words are and a language review for likely mishearings.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 93.0% of 2,372 content words.
Dotted words (40 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
58 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.
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.

on Cocoa and start growing more as we started. Right now we're at about five terminals here in Florida. I work up in Jacksonville currently. And so we're going to implement the same idea and same terminal that we have up in Jacksonville down here. So that would include a truck wash. We need an above ground fuel tank. And then obviously parking spaces for all of our trucks. Right now we're probably at like we're probably at about 30 drivers in Cocoa. And we look to get that up to about 40 by the end of this year. And we're starting to grow more now with specifically in Cocoa.

do a lot of jet fuel. So we work with the airports from Jacksonville Airport to Orlando and in Canaveral. So yeah, pretty much we're trying to grow as much as we can. And this is the perfect areas for to get our foot in the door here in Cocoa. And if you guys have any other questions, just feel free to ask.

And it's going to be probably more of a compliment to the staff. There are two points that really stuck out that I liked. I don't know why it came to this position, but it says on page four of four at the very top,
way. Was that to make the public that drive by on the main street it being more attractive from the road? Or was there some of the reason that you all addressed this?

I do not, but I can go off of what I know up in Jacksonville. The city gave us kind of a list of exactly what they wanted and we just abided by that. So, I mean, we're, you know, whatever we're willing to work with the city and. Well, the staff will probably go
That way it'll look like you're part of the city that we're known for.
[00:13:34]Speaker 7 (introduced as “Michael Penza” — machine-transcribed, not verified)

last meeting that we were here. Uh, I'd ask for direction on, uh, whether the board would be interested in collaborating with the, uh, people that are in Rockledge that are going through, uh, some problems with their trees. Uh, that the, uh, county is in the process of trimming. And there's some concerns about that. And I was, uh, asked to, uh, consider discussing this with the city manager. And I did do that. And he feels that,
making ourselves available if they need more support about trying to save our trees. So I'm just going to go ahead and proceed with that. There's an attorney that they have that I'm going to contact and I already met with Michelle who basically started this, uh, I guess coalition. Um, but some of the, uh, concerns they have are identical to what Coco has. And also this is like a segue into the septic tank situation. So, um, I just thought I'd share that with the board. All right. Thank you. Anybody
else discuss the trees? All right. Then we'll move on to item six other business. Anybody have any other business like to discuss? Great. I think we can wish our fellow board member, Mr.
