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.
317 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 5 voices separated from the audio.
23 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 91.2% of 15,089 content words.
Dotted words (435 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
317 passages (22% 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:
00:00:00 (30 s) — neither reading has words
01:43:08 (7 s) — neither reading has words
Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

so it's important that we get back here and focus on the work of the committee. Up to this point, we've had a lot of really detailed updates from city leaders and staff, and I think we've been given a lot of information about the prior committee's work and the policies and initiatives that they were trying to ‸ move forward.
help us prioritize the focus of this committee's work and the future work and the things that would most impact the city and our citizens. And so I'm really looking forward tonight as I see that ‸ that's in front of us so that we can know what it is that we need to work on and what we need to focus on

So ‸ as the chair indicated, you guys gave me direction to bring back something that you can act on, you know. And again, you know, the committee has evolved over time. And so I think you guys have different thoughts than the original committee with regards to what should be your focus. And so for me, it is I can bring you to things that we're working on and all of those are important and sort of ask if you want to sort of dive in ‸ on any one of those things. Very honestly, sustainability committees or ‸ boards ‸ are not terribly new, but obviously new to the city.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:13:47–00:13:51 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
very practical approach to public administration in that any community is built ‸ from the core needs up, you know, and we ‸ know there are ‸ some core needs in the city. Our demographics are different than a whole lot of cities in the county.
been undertaking and then push you in one or two directions with regards to what you all may want to concentrate on. And I think what I'm going to push you into would be under the broader categories of perhaps equity and empowerment and education and training. And so you can see that we reuse our templates there. So that has nothing to do with this board. So we again never start from scratch. So if you'll recall that the first year sustainability action plan really said you guys should focus or that committee should focus on these six sort of star categories. There's DARI is sort of the framework in which all sustainability plans are built on. And so ‸ just presented those to you again. It's built environment, equity and empowerment, health and safety, natural systems, climate and energy, and education and training.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:15:31–00:15:32 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
just as a reminder, here are those categories and the actual initiatives that were outlined for year one of this committee. As a as a ‸ Latham actually said, we've given you sort of a report card on on on on those things. And you've seen that and you've had staff before you ‸ reporting out on on what we've achieved with regards to those there. So I won't go through all of those. But
on that. We've done better ‸ with some initiatives than others, but certainly quarterly can give you a report on those if you still care to actually see some sort of reporting out on ‸ those things.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:17:07–00:17:14 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
I apologize. Yeah. And the high schools are mostly concentrating on manufacturing and tech, I think, is their concentration. ‸ They do have CDL programs. And so hopefully I can talk about a little bit of those as we get further into the presentation.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:18:00–00:18:05 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
think you will agree, you know, sort of as a first impression if you read these. I think generally you will say, well, these are pretty spot on, you know.
housing, and it's the homelessness. And those are going to be two huge issues for communities into the future there. So just wanted to make sure you had that. And I think that is our most current, we may have added a couple of bullet points, but generally, this is what we view as our ‸ SWOT analysis and our, and again, the various strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. And so each year, council prior to really the state legislative session outlines its priorities. The governor is finalizing the budget. I was advised today of how we fare in the budget. And so, you know, the governor, I think goes into each.
at the end of each session, has a target number that he wants to reach in terms of cuts there. And so, we didn't fare as well as I would hope, but haven't really advised the full council of how that hit us. So I

surprise. That's one of the core services of any government, uh, public infrastructure, uh, economic and community development. I think we've done really well on that.
Um, we, we actually have, and I see this a lot on next door. People still talk about whether or not we're going to have, um, the Amazon, uh, distribution center.
as we speak. And so they should be opened up, uh, in August or September, right before the holiday season. They've retooled that, uh, to be a last mile, uh, uh, ‸ to go from being a last mile facility to being a first mile facility. ‸ And, you know, for those of us ‸ who shop enough at Amazon, you know, the last mile is the distribution center where they actually put the stuff on the gray trucks to come to your house. First mile is where they may be getting raw materials to, uh, to, uh, to, uh, distribute out to those first and sort of second mile facilities. So, so they've undergone a, um, ‸ a, uh, a recent,

have jobs that don't require a whole lot of technical training. They require simply a GED or a high school diploma. And as you know, you may have read that they really, they give you benefits sort of first day in the door, you know, health and dental and they do tuition reimbursement, you know? And so, so, you know, really good starting point for a lot of folks in the community.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:23:42–00:23:46 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
either way, because I don't know that we've actually looked at that, you know, just, we, we know that there's a lot of stuff that builds up around the Amazon distribution centers. But, but I don't think that anybody's looked at how it affects small businesses in terms of, you know, are they producing the same products, you know? Um, ‸ again, ours probably not so much as a last mile because ours is just again, distributing in some respects, raw materials out to the other distribution centers that are the sort of last mile facilities.
Um, and so we, we do, that was a big, big coup for the, uh, for the city. Um, community outreach and engagement. Um, we'll talk about the visioning that will soon get underway. Uh, organizational effectiveness. Um, that's, that's basically internal. I think we've done some things that are very good in terms of our long term fiscal sustainability. Um, we'll talk a little bit about those. Uh, again,
with the council, um, outlining their priorities. Um, and so just to run through those real quickly, State Road 524 and, uh, State Road 501 safety and capacity projects.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:25:36–00:25:38 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
into two different phases there, but the Clear Lake project really from 520 to in front of the college is underway. ‸ If you, again, if you're on next door, you can hear about that every hour on the hour. That is a traffic calming project.
the road, uh, bicyclists, um, others who may, uh, who may have traditionally tried to share the road with cars. You want to pull them off the road and onto the sidewalks. Um,
of run. It, it curves, you know, so that you literally have to slow down to navigate it there. And so that'll be a really, really good project once it, it, uh, it gets completed. But again, it's the pain of living through those types of projects.
have to do, uh, public meetings. They will work with the local municipalities. ‸ And so, you know, we know the project is coming. We're allowed to, to have some input. And, um, you know, I think we, we took a good look at the Clear Lake. Um,
most people complain about the, uh, that third lane going away. Yeah. You know, and, and, um, you know, we've had some input into that, but the state, the state is actually the, the final authority on that. Because again, it's a state road there. I was
Yeah, the, the sidewalks, I think they make the sidewalks a little bigger, but I think the, the, the bikes would actually go on the sidewalks. I think the state is not encouraging you to be on a bicycle through the, the village there. So, so really you don't see the bike lanes. You've got to get on the sidewalk and share that with the pedestrians. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, so again, that, that project is well underway and coming to completion. Um, we, we,
state. You, we get a lot less than you would think, um, being a city of our size there. So we always ask for additional dollars there. Um, we asked for additional funding for the conversion of the, of
Um, and so we, we managed to actually, uh, hook up with them to get into their market expansion cycle. And so what they do is they will, uh, provide funding for the construction or the refurbishment of sites, classroom sites for Montessori schools for, um, for, uh, children that are ages four, five, and six or three, four and five. I can never remember which three. Uh,
200,000 per classroom. They, uh, will hire and train the teachers and pay them for a 10 year period. Good. And so we, we are, we are literally, um, um, we, we have a, a, uh, uh, uh, uh, interlocal. Or we have a memorandum of understanding with, with
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:30:15–00:30:20 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
the Brevard health alliance is, but it, it provides health services for the low, low, low income. Really those folks that may, um, may be even below the income requirements for the, for the state health department.

one problem is, is that they will only expand if they have 10 classrooms, if they can get tech 10 classrooms within a defined geographic area. I think it's 30 miles, um, within proximity to each other.

So that's what we're trying to do there. To actually convert the old, uh, old Dr. Jolie Smith community center. So we had a state appropriation request. We actually have,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:32:42–00:32:42 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
yes, I know where is this recorded. So, so we were surprised to, we were pleasantly surprised, but yes, there is an earmark request from, uh, congressman Posey's office for, I think it is two and a half million dollars to support that initiative at the, uh, old Dr. Jolie Smith community center.
there. Uh, funding for the, uh, redesign and construction of day slips at Lee winter park. We still, uh, are in the fight with FEMA for, you know, the reimbursement.

the, uh, council generally submitted to the Florida League of cities and we let them serve as the advocates for the local cities. Uh, we, we fight ‸ the opposing the utility transfer restrictions each year. And so that initiative each year, they try to limit what you can get from water utilities for general government services.

figures are accurate. Yeah, we, we do it. Um, we say it as much as we can. I think we have budget information online. Um, and we've done a great job with, with our online information there.
Um, we, we are actually, uh, fully staffed, uh, in fire. And we are, uh, a couple of positions short of folks getting out of the academy, uh, in police from being fully staffed. That's a tremendous turnaround from where we were a couple of years ago. That's a tremendous accomplishment because everybody's fighting for those positions there. And, and again, and I say this and I can't say it enough. One of the things that we're most proud of and this council should be most proud of is that we, uh,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:36:42–00:36:45 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
completion seniors. And so, I don't want to drill down too far on that. And I don't want to give the appearance that I'm dogging the school board. So, so ‸ the council established a program where we're going to, um, encourage high schoolers to become police and firefighters. And it's in conjunction with Coco High. There's a class that they take. Um, and if you're interested, you apply to the program. We pay for, uh, your academy. Police are fired. And not only do we do that, we give you a living stipend. And so we give you a monthly, um, paycheck. You know, because again, these are kids from a certain, um,
position ‸ financially. And so didn't feel like the program would be worth anything if we just said, we'll pay for school. And you gotta find some way to eat and, and, uh, and,
uh, with a diploma. One was a certificate of completion, which, uh, I had to be educated on what that actually is. And so it's, it's a disservice to the kids. Um, and we found that out a week or two weeks before the academy was opening up at Eastern Florida State College. And Eastern Florida State College said, well, we can't let him in. Well, why can't you let him in? Because he doesn't have a diploma.
don't know if it's, it's elsewhere, but where you get to put on the cap and gown, you walk across the stage. And if you haven't passed the, uh, the state test, you guys make sure I'm getting this right.

And then you have to take the state certs for the first time he didn't pass the state certs. And so our assistant fire chief, uh, Dara Hennessy, which, uh, she came to us
And so, so she actually had a connection with, uh, a gentleman who teaches the class, the cert ‸ class, and the gentleman actually mentored him free of charge. So that the next time he took his state certs, he, uh, passed, you know, and so that's just been a big effort on the part of staff. Uh, Dara, who's again, first female fire chief in the history of city of Coco had that connection. And, and so again, um, you know,

And, you know, now our requirement of them is you got to commit to us for, um, I think it's three or five years, you know, hopefully they'll stay for a career, but we do get that commitment, um, of, uh, ‸ of a number of years. And so that's, that's a, you know, just a great story for, for the city. Uh, so well, uh, we did so well that we're, we're actually now going to have to go back to the council and create positions to actually move them. And so, so, so we're, we're very proud of that. Um,

project. Uh, that was one of the legislative priorities and then continuation of the cyber security funding. Obviously we all know that that's a big issue. The state has, uh, given us funding for the last two fiscal years. Um, that's always a challenge because it always has to be put back into the budget.

They identified, uh, certain areas that are in close proximity to, to the lagoon that require, uh, them to get off of the old septic systems. Okay. To either go to advanced septic or to go to sewer.
Yeah, we're, we're, we're looking at sort of a step down or step up closest to the lagoon. Next closest to the lagoon, but I don't know that we've looked

So a follow up question to that. We're waiting to hear about the budget for these priorities, including the funding for the septic to sewer, or that is going forward.
Uh, you're, you're waiting to hear about what happened at the state level. Okay. And then we'll ultimately have to bring that back to the council for discussion.

behalf of the individual homeowners. So we, we haven't gotten there yet. So we are in, uh, budget development. The council, uh, takes a break, a June break, no council meetings in June. We actually have one and then they go away for about a month.
uh, property tax valuation. And so we will still have another good year. We don't, it's still, still not enough to, to fund the inflationary increase and, and, and, you know, salary increases.
have three of the union contracts are open this year. Um, and they always ask for stuff, you know, it's, it's mostly pay raises there. So we're in the middle of that,
again, trying to balance that and bring something back to the council in July. Um, so, so issues, uh, we're in the middle of, um, we have a, we have a sort of hybrid park system. Um, so we, we own all of our parks, uh, and I think maybe six or eight of those are operated
so citizens of Cocoa, of Rockledge and unincorporated, certain geographic area in the unincorporated county pay an extra property tax to be a part of this district.

it's a district park system. The referendum actually set it up as a district park system. And so you're not supplementing it because you don't have to be a resident
you guys can't be supplementing us because even if you live in a city, you're paying that countywide property tax. But nevertheless, ‸ the county commission unanimously passed that new agreement construct that will require us to add about if things are status quo with regards to repairs and capital improvements from last year, we'll have to add about $400,000 to our expenditure lines for parks. And so that's that ongoing issue there. Again, we have actually done really well here. We had about four or five, maybe six officers that left and went to Palm Bay. Four of them came back. So we are again, a couple of graduations from the academy
And so we're really proud of that. Fire again, we literally have had to save one slot, one vacant slot, because we have someone who's ready to go into that slot. So we're, we're, we're literally fully staffed in fire. Again, just like the rest of the world, we're, we're, we're competing with others for engineers, financial positions there.

That is potentially an area, um, where, uh, this board may want to focus in, you know, depending on what he says, depending on what he sees as, as, uh, the need, um, you may want to focus on, on that particular area. Um, and I know we're doing what we can in terms of police and fire, and our sort of training academy there. I think they're focusing on,

they've, they've agreed to a pilot project, um, um, I'll call it year-round schools, and it is, uh, again, Bob Barnes, if you know that name. He's, uh, he's, uh,
uh, children's hunger, uh, project there. So he's, he has a proposal before them. I think the school board has actually agreed to a pilot project, uh, at Cambridge.
Well, they will, uh, will have a classroom in the Aspiration Academy where they'll do, uh, what's, what is, uh, ‸ really tantamount to, um, to year-round schools and schools on Saturdays. So, so he's going to try to get that underway. Um, that's a different construct for us to go to school on Saturdays, you know.
And so, and so hopefully the superintendent is going to talk about that. That's, that's an initiative that they're, they're getting underway. So again, I'll just highlight that as the first sort of potential for you guys. Um, small business development. We actually have upstairs a community meeting, um, that, uh, there, they have potential applicants for our small and minority business development, um, project that's called

But, uh, we, we are either bringing to the board, to the council in July, the approval of that, or we did it at this last meeting. I think, uh, I think it's in July. That's going to be a $2.2 million project. Again,
redoing the whole park and the parking, um, layout to add, uh, approximately 70 spots. I talked a little bit about the, the day slips and the, and the FEMA issue there. Affordable housing. I think we, we have been, on the front line in terms of affordable housing, sustainable housing. Um, we were the first city in the county to take advantage of the legislative changes that allow you to do affordable housing regardless of the zoning of a particular parcel. And so that legislation says that even if it's zoned commercial, you can do multi-family housing without going through a rezoning. Um, and we did that with
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:59:14–00:59:18 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
the city managers ‸ that I actually get to, to sign the sale contracts. And so, so those five houses are sold. So cities had those parcels for, um, approximately 10 years and we're just now building affordable housing on it.

was that 30 plus plus 25, 55,000. We're going to have to put into ‸ now. It's only the difference between the 280 something and the 269. And so, and so we, we have, um, for the first time, um, we have homes in the Michael C Blake subdivision. And again, we've had that for, for, uh, 10 years. We have a national builder that's interested in presenting us an unsolicited proposal to do,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:01:57–01:01:57 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
the lots from the city and the, uh, and the housing authority, different, different concept they're presenting, but, uh, we'll see if that, if that, they sure,
um, and on 524, uh, as a matter of fact, I just got noticed that we have a, we have a, a multi-family project that is, has some set aside for attainable housing. Uh, it's called
And so I think 10% of the units are set aside for affordable housing. A certain number are set aside for, um, for police and fire. Uh, the, the other good thing about that is, is that what came with that deal is a, is a donation of 11 or 12 acres of land for the city's use. And so we may be able to, uh, put a conservation easement on that. We may be able to use that for storm water for the widening of 524. So, so that was a great deal for the city. It adds to the tax base. It provides attainable, um,

Yeah, no difference. Absolutely no difference there. So, so again, very proud of what we've done in terms of affordable housing. We, we're in the process of, uh,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:04:38–01:04:42 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
uh, Florida Avenue. We, we actually, uh, have convinced, at least we did for the moment, convinced Bell South to sell us that old vacant property that they have. Uh, not the one with the building, but the one north of that, uh,
but I still anticipate that we'll, we'll go to closing on that. And so we're going to RFP that for affordable housing also, because the federal consent decree says that we have to do affordable housing in the consent decree area there. So, so that was, that's a, that's another effort in terms of affordable housing that, um, we're undertaking that property was purchased by the, uh, the Cocoa village CRA. ‸ So the Brightline Intermodal Station, which is, I think it changes who we are as a city. You know, we overuse the term transformative, but this is as big as, as it's ever been for the city. Um, they made the announcement.

do with their uplands after they build the station. Um, but rest assured, they're going to do something in terms of some sort of mixed use developments, restaurants, hotels, uh, maybe some office, maybe some other commercial ‸ there. Um, and, and our parcels, they're sort of broken up into 25, uh, acre parcel and then whatever the balance of that is there. One has a covenant on it. That was a donation from, um, from a trust. Um, and then the other, the city owns outright, but it has a, has a, uh, St. John's water management district conservation easement on there.
having St. John's allow us to transfer the conservation easement to other properties or to, to St. John's will actually let you buy in to credits there.
station. I can tell you that, um, you know, we, we, we still have to do a lot of work in terms of the federal grant. Brightline has been successful in getting federal grants, uh, before. And so we're hope, hopefully we'll be just as successful in, uh, in doing this.
all a summary of this, which came ‸ out of the legislature, uh, this past session, um, really prohibits the, the, uh, the sheltering, the sleeping, the congregating of homeless individuals in public spaces if the county and the cities provide a shelter. So, uh, so that's going to be an issue for the county and the cities. Um, I can tell you, I don't know what the
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:10:14–01:10:15 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
doing. And so the county is supposed to take the lead. You know, the big issue is where would you put a shelter that's not offensive to anybody? Where would you put a shelter that's not offensive to anybody that can service the population in need in a county that's 72 miles long?
so again, maybe a second opportunity for, for you guys to be value added in terms of, uh, building the city. Um, parking in Cocoa Village is, uh, ‸ is always at a premium.
spaces in Lee winter and we actually have an ability to create through a reconfiguration of spaces, um, another probably 60 something spaces that that'll cost us a million dollars to actually do that. And so,
Florida Power and Light needs to run fiber and City Gas needs to run a gas line and they want to run those, uh, in the park. And so, uh, we've allowed them to do so. Um, their first argument was, well, under the, under the, um, under the franchise agreements, we have a right to be in rights of way. Well, yeah, you do when it's on the street and it's not in our most pristine park and the centerpiece of our parks. And so we literally charge them for the easements. So,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:13:24–01:13:28 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And we put that together and we, we are halfway home in terms of creating some, some additional parking for the village. Plus we also purchase, um, some lots, uh, at the top of the village here that
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:14:02–01:14:03 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
eventually improve and use for parking. But again, as it's always been, it's a big issue in the village. Um, ‸ mentioned this earlier, the widening of 524, um, critical for us in terms of growth, critical for us in terms of the Brightline station. I was mentioning to Mr. Bankhead, if you, if
Brightline's vision of that is that's the train entrance. And so you put, you put, um, a, uh, a traffic circle where the curve is now and the road that would take you to the station or it will take you to Walmart. Um, that is in the FDOT planning, uh, uh, program. So FDOT has agreed to design that. Um,
to go back on an old 10 year or however long the Coco Walmart has been there and say, Hey, you guys owe us, uh, a road roadway. Um, um, and so they, because they're going to benefit from the station too, you know? Um, so you go in Brightline and you grab
Um, so that, that's a great opportunity. We've also gone back to Walmart distribution center and said to them, um, Hey, you know, in this agreement, the developer's agreement that you sign, however long that distribution center has been there, you're supposed to give us an acre of land, um, within a year after, uh, uh, signing the agreement.
Here's where we want it. And so at the sort of, uh, uh, northeast corner of their driveway, we are, uh, we, we have, uh, ‸ we've consummated a deal for, uh, an acre. And so we could potentially use that as either conservation or storm water for the widening of, of
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:17:29–01:17:29 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
We think we have plenty of right away there. Again, I think I may have reminded you that the city and the TPO, we're actually funding the design of that project. So we're using, uh, 5 million in impact fees and I think TPO is using 2 million to actually fund the design of that. You don't get into the work plan if design isn't funded. That's a critical roadway for the city. Again, because of all the development that's going out there because of the
I think I talked about this, uh, in the beginning. In the strategic plan for the Brevard Health Alliance, uh, is a project that calls for, um, for a, um, for a, uh, for health services in the Diamond Square community. Now, one of the things that, that, uh, we were asked to do on the federal earmark was not talk about, uh, health care services, ‸ you know? So, so, so,

And so, we're doing that because, uh, the future land use and the, and the zoning map don't match up. They're inconsistent with each other. And so, and so, uh, right now, how, fortunately,
you, if you want to, if you want to, I'm just taking this off the top of my head, if you want to do a gas station on one of those corners there, um, while the future land use may allow you, the zoning may prevent you from doing that. Um,
and, and, and ask, hey, what's your vision for that intersection? And that's the meeting next week. That's the meeting next Monday. So, that's next Monday at the Joey Smith Community Center.

a lot of work there. So that, that'll start happening, um, next week. We'll have a series of, uh, community meetings, um, again, led by the consultants. Uh, comp plan updates, uh, we're due for, for, uh,
I was asked the question, you know, how do cities plan? They plan and they vision through, through the comp plan. So, so there's a, there's a, uh, an ear update that's due in 2025. That's, that's a large undertaking. So that'll be another consultant there. But that's a, that's again, our ability, again, that's our opportunity to, to map out a vision for the city in that, uh, in that, uh, exercise through that exercise. Um, we currently have updates to the, to the diamond square and the cocoa village CRA plans. And so you can see that visioning is happening with the updates, uh, to those plans.

plan and, um, and final plat. So, so that's a goal, you know, um, for the 350 behind the gate selling at half a million. ‸ The perfect thing for us is that in the city of Cocoa, we have a tree mitigation ordinance or landscaping ordinance.
down, you get penalized. Their, their, their penalty is, uh, a was is 2.3 million. And we've, we've said to them that you don't have to pay that if you build 75% of the homes within, uh, five years or there's a Brightline station within five years. And so we sort of tie the two together, you know, the subdivision and the station together. Uh, and it was a thought, uh, really a thought created by, uh, the city attorney and,

That's 375, um, home sites. Again, gated community will probably sell for a little less than, um, than, uh, the Brightline subdivision. But
Southwest Florida there. So, so big regional builder there. They may even be a national builder there. So those are, those are two of the biggest subdivisions, uh,
that, uh, hopefully they'll be in the ground within the next three, four or five years. So, so again, those are the things I think I've, I've sort of highlighted three areas where you, you, you guys may be able to, to provide some expertise to facilitate some things to participate in. And in addition to that, uh, sort of countywide meeting of the sustainability boards, ‸ certainly an opportunity to participate there. Just, I think if you're available, just let us know and, and we'll take the first two that perhaps, if it's okay, you, uh, that are available to actually attend that, that meeting. So as you know, you always have to have, uh, public input. Not sure that the elected officials can be considered part of the public. So, so that probably leaves, uh,

and outlining the things that you think we, our time would be well spent working on. And I think it's very good and I feel much better tonight after this than I did coming into this meeting. So, thank you very much.
shouldn't say that again, we're being recorded, but there are, there are a lot of, uh, agencies that sort of, uh, that, uh, provide some types, some levels of service there. And so, you know, and they've been in, in this community for a long time.

social service agencies make up a third of all the social service agencies in the, uh, in the entire county. And I think the homeless issue is there is no shelter, you know, like the big cities.
don't know how well that works or doesn't work there, but I think that core issue is going to be services that are centralized in some shelter. You can see the county and Melbourne are dealing with that. Melbourne has been, I've, I've been here since 94. I think that's been a topic of conversation for forever.
1365. You know, the, the legislation literally says, yeah, you can force them out of public places as long as you have a shelter or ‸ provision of services for them. And who's going to take the lead on that? You know, ‸ city can't afford to most cities can't afford to.

I was wondering if any of the, um, any action was taken on any of the requests from Mrs. Briggs that were mentioned in the minutes from the last meeting. She had two or three requests.
take, I take actions at the direction of the board. And so if the board didn't give me directions to take action on her, um, request, then we have it. But

that was about the parks project community against climate change. If I remember correctly, there were three and I saw them when I read through the minutes when they were initially sent, but I didn't want to print it at home.
There were three things that she had requested. And at the time of me reading them, I thought they were all, it was all valuable information that she had requested.
Yes. The repetitive flood loss properties. I don't think the city council needs to ask staff to research this. Yes. There is a mitigation person at the

so it's this flood area down here on the corner of Indian River and Dixon. Anytime we have a big storm, it's flooded. And, uh, the last time we had a big storm and it flooded, there's a

have to report our spills, our sewage spills there and I'm pretty sure we didn't have, but okay. So it's, there's that. Okay. I'll go over it again. Thank
And I'm wondering if there'll be any reconsideration to take the cocoa sewer to the cocoa city line where it meets the Brevard County line on Indian river drive. It just starts, it stops two or three houses short.
I know there's been a lot of discussion according. I, I've been here for discussion about meeting dates and then the meeting I missed. There was more discussion and I understand the shortage of, shortage of personnel.
that states we are scheduled to meet the, uh, first Thursday of the month at 6 PM. And I have found in my professional career, uh, and I've, I've had to organize a lot of people for a lot of committee meetings, post work hours. That is, it's always been best to schedule the meetings, put them on the calendar. For me, it was for the school year. And then if you don't have to meet, you can cancel the meeting. It's always a lot easier and it makes people a lot happier if you can cancel a meeting than the struggle that we go through every time we need to try to find a meeting date. Um, I, I do have my letter of resignation here and I am resigning because of the lack of productivity. We have, you know, this is the, my invitation was
And we've done a lot of listening. We've not taken any action. Uh, I feel like now we are almost tabling the sustainability plan, which I did not include in my letter at all because I didn't realize that's what was happening. But it sounds like we're tabling that and we're going to try to change focus into something completely different after all of the time that was put into structuring that plan with people who know a lot about sustainability. Um, so that's what I'm saying. That ‸ and
because I find it very difficult to sit and listen to the report. You know, the, the city people have come in and given us all everything that they've done. So we're listening, listening, we're not really having the opportunity to compare exactly how that matched up with what the plan said. Um, and it, it takes, I think a lot of work to go back and really see if what is being said matches the intention of the original plan.
work through that together, which, uh, I was told we could not do that. I had asked for a, some sort of digital workspace that was only for city people and, and our, um, our board of advisors. Um,
nothing ever, ever came from that. And my idea on that was that we could put in comments and, and read them when we had the opportunity and it could possibly answer some of the questions that I think many of us, many of us have ‸ had. So, um, with all that said, if you all can get stuff done on a quarterly basis, I'm really proud of you and I hope that works really well for you. But, um, having been involved in a lot of projects, I have found that it takes a little bit more time than that.
We always have to listen and learn, but then we have to be able to put something in action. So I want to thank everybody and welcome aboard, um, and welcome aboard for everything that, uh, you've done this far.
So I, I'm hoping she will bring someone to the board who, um, is very knowledgeable in the world of sustainability and will contribute great things to you.
I just have one hard copy for, for Stockton, but I'll send a copy of my letter to everybody tomorrow, including the city council members. It's short and sweet.
appreciate your input and we appreciate your time on the committee. So thank you for that. Thank you. And just for a point of clarification, I think, I think everybody brings different ideas to the table. And that's one, one nice thing about working on a board is that we all have to, at least the majority of us have to agree what direction we go or how we proceed and move forward and things. So that is the beauty of working in a board with other people. So, um, I do appreciate your comments.
And I think that we have to be very cognizant of that and also the time away from their families. And, uh, and they have very, very difficult jobs and work long hours as it is. So,
I think being respectful of that is extremely important for any committee. So, um, but we appreciate your comments and we appreciate your time. So thank you for that.
their staff time then, you know, like I said, the committees that I was in charge of, we were always after hours, not paid, not flexed, no time, nothing.
was total volunteer and commitment. And so I get it, believe me, I rarely had less than 60 hour weeks. So if we can't do it this way, then let's look at doing it a different way. Um, you guys can look at it doing it.
here. Maybe they have flex time or personal time they could take just a suggestion because I do respect your time. Most definitely. I empathize as a matter of fact. So thank you.
back when we met last and we, there was a lot of staff shortages going on at the city, which made it really difficult to schedule a monthly meeting. Um, is that something that we want to discuss at this point? And when, when we feel would be a good time to have a meeting.
