Chief Lamm provided an update on the EOC and noted that he had been attending
meetings regarding COVID-19. He has been very busy but is hearing a lot of good
information. He informed Council that a request has been put in through the State
for necessary supplies for first responders. Items are low and many are on back
order, but they are doing the best they can. When supplies are received they are
split between fire and police.
He stressed the importance of social distancing. He further mentioned that the
issue of homelessness was discussed and assured Council that they are working
with the Brevard Homeless Coalition on this.
Currently, there are eleven confirmed cases in Brevard County. One is here in
Cocoa. As test s become available, the more information we will know. Staff is
very aware of the situation.
Mayor Williams announced that the governor is urging the use of local vendors. In
response, Chief Lamm assured him that they were trying and that they were going
to places to find equipment that they would not normally go to. He pointed out that
the fabrication business behind the old Fire Station # 1 had a box of mas ks that
they donated. They would not take any money for them. He expressed his great
appreciation for that gesture.
Chief Cantaloupe mentioned that the police department has been handing out
flyers in the community. One is in regards to restaurants and what they can and
cannot do during these closures. The other handout provides information on social
distancing. He shared that they have spoken with people in all parks, including
Provost Park, and they were receptive to the fact and were aware of what was
going on.
Councilmember Warner asked if bathrooms were open. Chief Cantaloupe noted
that they had spoken with someone at Parks and Recreation to make sure they
were open and to ensure that soap was provided. He pointed out that a flyer has
been posted on all doors to bathrooms that could be utilized.
Deputy Mayor Goins mentioned that most of the soap dispensers at Provost do
not work and some probably need to be replaced. He asked if the number of
positive cases increased if parks would be closed. In response, Chief Cantaloupe
advised that they have had discussions with the Sheriff and other Chiefs and while
you want people to do the right thing, it is hard to tell people to stay home.
Councilmember Koss agreed and believes that because of this , we will have a
better appreciation for the outdoors.

Chief Cantaloupe added that these handouts would be provided in Spanish as well.
Ms. Gemmati advised that she had reached out to three firms and was in the
process of evaluating them for the recruitment of the City Manager.
Councilmember Koss asked if they could do a meeting by conference call. Ms.
Gemmati mentioned that two were in Daytona and one was in Ohio. She asked if
they would like to hear from all of the firms in one day at a special meeting.
Ms. Gemmati explained the importance of using a firm for this type of position after
a question was posed by Deputy Mayor Goins.
Councilmember Warner stated that one was used around twenty years ago. Ms.
Gemmati added that the firm would meet with them individually as well to get their
input. Councilmember Warner thought it would be good if all of this could be done
in one day.
Mr. Walsh provided an update and mentioned that all of the directors have been
working with the Interim City Manager to come up with contingency plans for their
departments. Beyond social distancing, his department has been wiping down
doorknobs, cleaning more, etc. Some teleworking has begun as well.
His most important and biggest issues were sewer operations and the water plant.
They have been d iscussing possible issues that they could be faced with. They
are going to stagger start and lunch times to ensure these areas are always
attended to. Contingency plans are also being worked on in the event someone
gets sick at these plants.
Mayor Williams mentioned that this was one of those times where you look at the
workers at these plants and really notice that they are front line workers and first
responders. They are not always looked at as first responders but they work
tirelessly and are appreciated.
City Attorney Garganese noted for the record that this meeting was noticed as a
CMT meeting. There was an order issued by the Governor regarding meetings
not being public. The notice read as follows:
Due to the COVID-19 Emergency and the closing of City Hall to the public to limit

He pointed out that the meeting was available via the internet and the public could

Interim City Manager Fuhrer advised that an updated report was given and as of
6:05 p.m. there were 1,867 positive cases in Florida.
He mentioned that staff was working on the implementation of the Family First
Coronavirus Response Act which would have a lot of implications to City
operations. Staff was reviewing information daily in order to ensure that they were
abiding with the law and were close to pushing out the policy to employees. The
policy is significant as to what allowances are by law.
Interim City Manager Fuhrer reiterated Chief Lamm’s sentiments on the executive
order and urged those over sixty-five to stay home, as well as those with underlying
health conditions. Additionally, the City has been providing telework opportunities
as well. There are currently twenty -two employees teleworking and this varies
daily. Additional equipment has been received to make this possible.
Florida Power and Light provided an update and they are discontinuing turnoff’s
through the end of March and Waste Management is fully operational, although
their call centers are telecommuting.
Interim City Manager Fuhrer advised that at the last Council meeting, on March
17, 2020, Council approved the cancellation of all meetings with the exception of
Council meetings. He recommended that the April 8, 2020 meeting be limit ed to
CMT only.
Regular City Council Meeting 03-25-2020
Page | 6
* It was a Consensus among Council to limit the April 8, 2020 to CMT only.
They would re-evaluate this at the next meeting.
* It was also noted that the Cocoa CRA meeting on April 8, 2020 would be
cancelled.
Interim City Manager Fuhrer r eferred to the parks and open spaces and that the
City would maintain consistency with them and have modified timing of restroom
closures. They would be closing at 6 p.m.
He spoke about an email he received from Councilmember Koss regarding First
Billing’s $2.99 convenience fee. He pointed out that a response had been provided
to Council. They reached out to the vendor and the vendor was unable to waive
the fee, as they make a small margin off of this which is their business practice.
The option would be that the City would have to pay that fee. He provided the
amounts and how much it would cost the City.
Mayor Williams believes that this should be left as is as there are other ways that
customers can pay.
Further discussion was held on this issu e and Councilmember Koss felt that this
was something that Stantec could look into and that it needed to be brought to the
attention of the advisory board.
Interim City Manager Fuhrer announced that he met with the consultant from S &
ME and they were starting a steering committee and would need about twelve
members for that committee. They would like to get work underway starting next
week. He asked if Council would like to appoint a member and to please send
their nominations to the City Clerk. Meetings would be during the day.
Councilmember Koss would like to represent Council and was very excited about
the grant as there were only three municipalities that received it.
Interim City Manager Fuhrer explained the grant being referred to in detail.
Councilmember Warner asked about the last tree study that was done and
believed that it was in the early 2000’s. She asked when the tree city designation
was lost. In response, Interim City Manager Fuhrer advised that when all of this
information was submitted they would let Council know that information.
* IT WAS A CONSENSUS AMONG COUNCIL FOR COUNCILMEMBER KOSS
TO THE BE THE COUNCIL LIAISON TO THE STEERING COMMITTEEE.

Interim City Manager further noted that there was an inquiry on how the market
was affecting the City’s finances. He provided an overview of the City’s funds
and a brief summary of what was happening currently due to COVID -19. He
pointed out that the City was looking at a pretty steep loss and assured Council
that a detailed report would be provided in the future.
He explained that when Stantec does an analysis they would give an update on
all of the funds.
Councilmember Koss appreciated the Interim City M anager and how quickly and
thoroughly he has responded. She has received a lot of calls in regards to the
pandemic. She asked if the County’s state of emergency encompassed all
municipalities both incorporated and unincorporated. In response, Interim City
Manager Fuhrer explained that the resolution that the City approved on March
11, 2020 lifted purchasing policies for this event. The public health emergency is
state level.
Councilmember Koss thanked Ms. Senger for the videos that have been do ne
but felt that the interview format was not right. In response, Ms. Senger noted
that those who are interviewed would depend on what the topic was. She felt
that it was important for the elected officials to participate in these.
Councilmember Koss advised that she has been researching and sought advice
from the Attorney General’ s office and an option was posed to do an agenda
review meeting which would be publicly noticed and a lot of details could be
discussed. The Council meeting would th en become more functionary. She felt
that the City would be more transparent and the school board and other cities do
this. It would not be mandatory and would work like a workshop.
Mayor Williams felt that there were too many things going on right now and they
cannot put more work on staff.
Deputy Mayor Goins felt that they should just ask questions and not worry about
others’ opinions during Council meetings.
Mayor Williams advised that they ask questions prior the meeting and get their
questions answered. Sometimes staff is not prepared for questions and do not
have the answers.
Councilmember Koss stated that she would bring this up again as it will allow for
more sunshine and transparency.
Discussion was held on how much time other members spend with the Interim
City Manager.

Councilmember Warner was getting a lot of questions of which she is passing on
to Ms. Senger. She is noticing that people are wanting to see who their elected
officials are. She agreed with Councilmember Koss and felt that Chief Lamm
should be the spokesperson for the City.
Deputy Mayor Goins was concerned about the parks and their bathrooms and
asked if Parks and Rec could put some wash stations in the parks that do not have
bathrooms. In response, Interim City Manager Fuhrer noted would look into this.
Deputy Mayor Goins further mentioned areas in Cocoa do not have traffic
signals. He was pleased to see Brevard County Traffic Operations was looking
into doing a master plan for some of the lights . He spoke with Mr. Smith about
this and he will keep the conversation going to ensure this gets done.
He thanked Brevard County for providing food for students. Many kids rely on
school meals.
Deputy Mayor Goins inquired about the summer youth pro gram. In response,
Ms. Gemmati advised that they would be having an internal meeting with
CareerSource. It will not be a great experience if the students cannot get the
whole experience. Due to school closures things need to be sorted out.
Mayor Williams thanked the Interim City Manager for the work that he has been
doing and thanked Chief Cantaloupe for reaching out to people and for going to
all of the parks and posting information.
He provided kudos to Cambridge Elementary, Emma Jewe l Charter Academy,
and Cocoa PAL, along with all other schools and volunteers who are serving and
provided food for children and families.
He further thanked Pebbles Catering, Celebration Tabernacle, and the REAL
Church who served over three hundre d meals to residents today. It was a nice
event and they served until they ran out of food.

chambers.

and updated on the latest information in reference to the virus.

Councilmember Koss referenced the statement made previously by Ms. Riggs and
hoped that all council would support this donation request.
* MOTION by Councilmember Koss; Seconded by Deputy Mayor Goins, to
approve the donation request for the Marine Resources Council of East
Florida, Inc. in the amount of $1,000.
The motion was opened for discussion.
Councilmember Warner stated that because this was Council’s money she has
always felt that the money was to give to those who do not get funding from others
and whose resources were limited. She believes that the Marine Resources
Council was wonderful, however, she likes to use that basis for donations. They
cannot say yes to everything.
She would not be supporting this request and it was not because she does not
support the Marine Resources Council but there are citizens who donated mo ney
not so long ago and she would like to save the remainder of her allotment.
Councilmember Koss noted that MRC does not have a lot of money, and there
were at least fifteen people who were in Councilmember Warner’s district at the
event.
Discussion was held on the donation policy and how situations like this had been
handled in the past.
Councilmember Koss reminded Council that when this was brought up some time
ago she was told that they vote in unison so that donations are approved.
The motion was reinstated.
* MOTION by Councilmember Koss; Seconded by Deputy Mayor Goins, to
approve the donation request for Marine Resources Council in the amount
of $690, which would be $230 from each account.

Agenda (the City's wording)
The City's agenda for this meeting is on file (CC_Reg_Packet_03-25-2020), but its item list has not been read reliably by machine yet, so no outline is shown.
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.
427 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 12 voices separated from the audio.
43 short machine repair(s) (52 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 94.0% of 19,950 content words.
Dotted words (522 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
427 passages (19% 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:
01:41:13 (0 s) — neither reading has words
01:51:40 (6 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.

26th minutes with the following amendments. Page 14, paragraph four, sentence three was in reference to, we were talking about engineer salaries and seeking engineers. The sentence reads,
could look into salary comparison, which would not compare to other municipalities, but they could look at the private sector. I think the intent, and I think this was Tammy. It's probably paraphrasing.
Well, that and exactly, the other private sectors are making offers to candidates ‸ six months before they graduate college, and they're traveling nationwide to get candidates. Sure. So my
amendment then would be, they could look into salary comparison, period. We know we have competitive salaries with other municipalities, but we have not looked into private sector salaries.

engineers. And on page 15, these are less important changes, but there is a typo on page 15, paragraph 2. ‸ Okay. So the sentence starts with slash 1. I think it was a cut and paste error. And then in paragraph 4,
says staff is working with the city's attorney office in regards to some of the wording of the country, and I think they meant to say survey there. So with those amendments?

council members, thank you all for your tireless work in these strange times. Stay well. I bring good news. On February 29th, a group of Cocoa neighbors hosted a neighborhood progressive dinner they had organized with a three-fold objective to increase our sense of neighborhood and neighbor, ‸ neighborliness through conversations and celebration, to increase awareness and education on lagoon health topics, and to raise money to support the Marine Resources Council's report card. We raised $3,550 as a restricted gift for the MRC.
The report card details changes in water quality annually. Over time, this can be used to correlate with ongoing work in the Indian River Lagoon cleanup efforts, paid for by the half-cent sales tax, and assess their efficacy. Many thanks to the hosts and their families who opened their homes and prepared a course to share with their neighbors, Bridget Haygood and

Johnny and Roger Nauman, Jennifer and Todd Riggs, Jeanette and Frank Sullivan. This event proved extremely successful in promoting both education and goodwill among neighbors. Although it is not technically a sustainability committee issue or topic, the experience demonstrated itself to me as a model for promoting a sense of civic belonging and empowering citizens through sound information. I believe we will see better practices related to lawn and yard care, etc. from those who attended. This may be something we could consider adding to the action plan.

We got ‸ 90 for our people and started getting that material out. That did not null and void our request to the state for a lot more of those items. It was just to try and help us get through as much as we could. So we're still staying vigilant with that. I've talked to my
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:10:17–00:10:21 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
we're facing, not just here within our own municipality, but in the county as a whole, with those backorders and the shortages that we're seeing for our first responders. ‸ It's at an epidemic level, much like the disease that we're dealing with. And there's really no end in sight. So they're aware of it. They're doing the best they can. But I'm proud to say that, you know, through the efforts of our city council and all of our department, ‸ there has been no potential stop on us being able to use any resources necessary to get that equipment for all of our city employees to protect. So we've implemented some actions
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:11:05–00:11:06 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
and the human resources manager to ensure that we've addressed both the state federal guidelines that have come out. But the biggest thing that we can encourage people to do is follow the CDC direction. I mean, that's ‸ the biggest thing right now. Social distancing,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:11:31–00:11:31 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
not been a push by the governor at this point for people to quarantine themselves. Now, he did just come out today and said that anyone 65 or older should self-quarantine for 14 days. It just goes back to what the CDC has been
county level as far as the county's even. One was something that I wanted to follow up with Ms. Koston. I think that she brought up at the ‸ council meeting was our homeless population. What would we do in the event if we had one of our homeless victims show up positive for COVID-19? How would we isolate the rest? I posed that question the very next day when we had our conference call.
That was something they were working with the health department on and some of their other partners. So when we had our conference call today, I brought it back around to him again and said, what was the follow-up on that? They are working with ‸ the Brevard Homeless Coalition on
The coalition actually has a good handle on where those populations are at, how they're set up, and the needs that would need to be addressed in the event that that happens.
problem and make shelters and have shelters open. This is a little different. You're talking about a medical-type emergency. So this is something that we really haven't dealt a lot with and are struggling. I'll be quite honest with
We're all struggling nationwide. So ‸ they surely have not lost sight of that. So they're going to continue to take a look at that, but certainly that is not something that has fallen by the wayside, and they will certainly address that. So I just wanted council to know that I did address that concern.

And I hate to sound crass about it, but really it is business as usual for us as first responders, police and PD. We understand the movement need and things for us to do, but it's also making us revamp and look at the way we respond to calls and calls for service. And it certainly does not mean that we're blowing them off, but we certainly have to be more cautious, especially in a small municipality like we are now, to ensure that we protect our own people and still provide a high quality of service. So with that being said, ‸ I didn't want to pick up a lot of your time tonight, but we still have a lot of items that are out there that we've ordered and continue to provide the safety and protection for our employees that are back there. It's a national back order. We're checking in on those items.

They were out of date. But really, there was nothing wrong with the suits. They weren't falling apart. There was no integrity issues. And we finally got a letter from them saying, yes, if you don't have any PPE, something's better than nothing to use in it. So we started pulling that stuff out of storage to use in the event that we have to make entry to a patient who is positive for COVID-19 to protect our employees. So there's some unconventional, ‸ unfortunately, that we're having to use right now to try and find some things or use things that we normally would not use that just aren't normal. But we're certainly doing everything that we can to try and use.

Now when you think how large this county is, we've only tested 166 people. There's a lot of people out there that probably have it that we don't need to know about. That should make me want to quarantine for 14 days. ‸ I mean, that's just one of the realities that we're dealing with right now with the test being short,
know, them trying to push manufacturers for more testing, more of the availability of the test, and just how rampant it is across the United States as a whole.
already, reach out to the powers that be out at the Space Center because let me tell you, they've got every form of PPE that you can imagine out there.

I provided each of you with a couple of flyers that we're currently passing out to the community. The one covers issues with restaurants and bars. There was some concern, or some concern, and I think some confusion ‸ when the governor's order first came down about who could do what. So we tried to simplify that and also make it more friendly and try to tell them, you

most of them were pretty receptive to the fact that they realized what's going on. and they're in there, even though they're still hanging out some, they are trying to be as socially responsible as possible. So I think that's going good. But I just wanted to give you a copy of that so if anybody has asked, that's kind of what we're doing right now. And we

going to ask the chief. The bathrooms in the parks, the ‸ ones that have bathrooms, are they open? Are they able to ‸ at least, wash their hands and came out and encouraged that?
bathrooms were open. Today I actually talked to somebody from Parks and Rec that showed up in the afternoon because I believe the bathrooms at Provost were locked. So I'd mentioned to them, and

the beach, they're closing some of the beaches right now. Well, considering it Friday, maybe depending on all this testing going on, if our numbers increase, thinking about closing some of the parks. I know that's down the road, but I
know ‸ I had talked to the sheriff briefly and a couple other ‸ chiefs. ‸ We all kind of felt that, yes, we want people to social distance. Yes, we want them to do the right thing. But I think it's going to be hard to tell people to just stay home. ‸ People want to go exercise. They want to go ‸ talk to other people.
‸ The consumption of food is going up. So I would say as a last resort, maybe if they don't. But, you know, it's kind of what we explained to each person that we talked to in the parks today, was that, look, ‸ here's the deal. If you do the right things and you sit six feet apart and you wash your hands and you don't gather up in groups in more than 10, I think we'll be okay. I think we'll be okay. I think that

lot of stuff, ‸ we're calling people back and doing reports and stuff over the phone. and I was telling people that, too. The more you, the more restrictions you put on, the more interactions we have to have. You know, you've seen, like, some of the, some of

put curfews in. Well, somebody's got to stop those people that are out between 11 and 5 in the morning to find out why and that. So you're having additional encounters which increases the risk of first responders, you know. That's a good point. Contracting or coming in,

Yeah, I was just going to say, ‸ I really agree with you on the parks. I think that, you know, we're going to have a better appreciation for these open outdoor spaces where we can socialize at a safe distance. In my neighborhood, we had one get-together where everybody brought their own chair, their own drink, and we sat under a big shade tree. and, you know, we're able to socialize. But also, I wanted to say
And I just wanted to tell people that I spoke with a friend from college who currently lives in Manhattan, and she says, oh, yeah, but don't worry about that, because in two weeks they'll be filled again. Because that's the way New York was two weeks ago. And
And we see the toilet paper coming back. It's more of the, it's more of the bread, the lunch meat, ground beef, and chicken because the kids are home every day.
don't think the supply is not there. I just think they're having trouble getting that additional supply of the stores right now. So I think they're working on that. Yeah. I think they'll have that figured out. Instead of getting ‸ one or two trucks a day, they're going to get four or five trucks a day. Yeah.

mean, as long as the public has access and the ability to ask questions or at least watch what's going on, I think we're, we're safe under the law. But... Would you like to do
key positions like the city manager, it is, you're going after candidates that are,are most likely working at the time, at the moment. So they have deep candidate pools where they do email blasts and advertisements in specialized areas.
and then we did another one when Mr. Holt was hired. There was an outside search done when he was hired. Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Blake could give you all the details on that. They were part of that six-hour fight to hire a city manager. And
part of the process is to, is for the selected recruiter firm to meet with each of you to discuss and get input from you on what you'd like to see in an ideal candidate, and to put all that together and
we could do all that in one day, maybe have the individual meetings and then do the presentation in one day so we don't have to keep leaving home, that would be great.

from other cities who are kind of ahead of us in terms of their saturation. So, we've done a number of steps. ‸ I'm just going to put a couple of highlights. Beyond the social distancing and the cleaning and some of the modifications that we've made, we also have some of our own staff that are wiping down door knobs and other things that we have to touch in certain areas. In
I just saw somebody get before I came over here. You know, we keep the supplies nearby as much as we can. We did institute some telecommuting within the utility this week. A couple people were approved. There's a couple more I think pending right now to help the folks who either have pre-existing conditions or have that capacity or want to voluntarily telecommute and their job description to make that happen. and We're making that happen right now. But my primary thoughts are honestly are with the water production and the sewer plant. Those are the two key areas for us.

over at the wastewater plant to talk about the different scenarios that we potentially could be faced. So right now we are thinking, I just talked to Matt this afternoon about actually because awater field operations group is so large,

starting at the same time. and spread them out, spread out their lunches and other things And that will minimize our impact and our interaction if you will at the same time. at the beginning of the day, at the lunchtime and at the end of the day.
So we'll implement that as soon as we get that going. We've also been working on contingency plans at both the wastewater plant and the water plant. about how we would staff. We've talked specifically about minimum staffing to meet the requirements for both plants And then we also have obviously detailed out ‸ who our licensed operators are, and who our apprentices are, and basically ‸ what do we need, what's our minimum
It's really just a matter of how well our social distancing works and ‸ how well. If somebody gets sick at one of the plants, then you'll have to have to
So those are the kinds of things that we're thinking about keeping those areas running, and that really is the primary push in terms of what I'm thinking about right now. Any questions?
Yeah, I have all of that. I mean, I have to have one licensed operator and one apprentice minimum for each plant for each shift. Now, we're currently doing three
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:35:33–00:35:33 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
make modifications to the schedule if we had to. And if we're running surface water, which we're actually, we'rejust going to start it up so we may end up holding off on that, because then we would need three operators in the plant, primary and two apprentices. So we're, in the thought process, I think we're going to hold off. We could probably hold off for
and that actually would allow us to just, we have to go down to the minimum if we ‸ go to, basically, we would need four people a day and that's to cover a day shift and an evening shift.

opened my eyes to some stuff. We don't, not everyone look at utility workers and our water system and stuff like that. And that we got to keep the water flowing and so forth and
on. ‸ This is one of those times and one of those situations where I consider them as being, you know, on the front lines, you know.

Yes, related to COVID-19, I've provided you all a situational report that has some highlighted items related to changes since the last one you received

This is a pretty significant piece of legislation that has a lot of implications related to the city operations that we are exploring daily to try to ensure that we're complying with the law as well as providing our essential municipal services. And so we're very close to pushing out the policy to our employees and then fielding any questions or comments that they may have, which I would imagine we will have some because it's fairly significant as far as what ‸ the allowances are under the law. I believe
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:42:14–00:42:15 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
your risk as much as possible. That being the same for those with underlying medical conditions, they're also perceived to be at high risk. And then the final update that's kind of changed since you know what the information the Department of Health was putting out was that they do encourage those employers still under operations to provide teleworking opportunities where they're available to reduce that contact. And the city has been doing that. You'll see on the update we currently have 22 employees that are out telecommuting. That does vary day-to-day as we move schedules as well as those who are in and out of City Hall to accommodate child care issues and other operational issues that we encounter. We look for that number to grow. We did receive some additional equipment that we ordered last week to make that available to even more employees.
the end of March at this point in time. Depending on the expansion of these cases they will be reviewing that as well. Our garbage services through waste management their call center staff like ours are telecommuting but they're fully operational as far as our garbage services go. ‸ I do have some decisions for City Council to make. If you recall at the last City Council meeting this past Tuesday City Council approved the cancellation of all City meetings with the exception of the City Council meetings and that we would take it meeting by meeting and so
we did look at a modified meeting but we were able to make it happen in ‸ pretty short time frame and obviously we're going to learn a little bit from this meeting and make it better next time but it would be my recommendation that the next meeting the first meeting in April that we would continue based on information we have ‸ from the CDC for the social distancing that we would limit that meeting to CMT only and I believe we need council action on that.

speak a little bit I guess about the parks and open spaces and we can continue to keep those open we will work with Brevard County on some of the issues that you all highlighted and then we'll try to maintain consistency with them if we get to the point of instituting some sort of closure we'll do that I did want to mention that we did modify some of the timing of the restroom closures I believe it's at 6 p.m. they're
they are closing those off I did receive a email I believe it was yesterday from councilman cost related to the first billing that $2.99 convenience fee for those that pay their utility bill through credit card and
and then also sent it out to each member of council so you could review that it is something it is a city council decision on what you'd want to do with that I can cover cover some ‸ information that I ‸ provided if you hadn't had time to read it but essentially we've reached out to our vendor first billing and they they're unable to just waive that fee because they're being charged by the banking institutions and so they do make a small margin but that I mean that's essentially their business practice so the option the city would have and this is the way we used to operate is that the city would or the water utility would essentially pay those fees instead of passing it on to the customers the utility would have to cut that check and in 2014 I attached the agenda ‸ but it's around a quarter million dollars
the annual rate study so essentially all you're doing is just spreading that back over the other customers next year and you know is that is that really the prudent thing to do it's offered as a convenience
‸ numerous ways that our customers have to pay their bill we're waiving late fees currently we're not shutting water off so it'd be my recommendation that we wouldn't do that but that's obviously a council decision
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:49:48–00:49:49 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
yeah of course I was the one that raised it based on a call that I received from a constituent as well as next door neighbor it's been our next door neighbor just one thing question and I mean maybe this I guess I don't have a clear understanding ‸ first billing they just manage any kind of master card or American express or any transaction so they're a middleman
so rather than dealing straight with those ‸ we pay them and for example the water bill that I received today I'll actually be paying it's between 5 and 6 percent not 3 percent 299 is almost 6 percent of my water bill so just I was trying to figure out how we came up with the 250,000 because if we have 80,000 customers I guess we're assuming that everybody would be using a charge card
and now we have a situation where well we'd hope that people don't have to use credit cards to pay basic things like water but we could very well at some point run into that I think it's something you know maybe the utility advisory board will look at I mean

that doesn't use a hard currency like that so I'm fine with you know passing on this but I think it needs to be brought to the attention of the advisory board and to really be given a good look at because
percentage I do their profit margin is pretty significant and yeah so there's a way you know we're as a government as a city we want to act of course in the best interest of our citizens we're not here for the purpose of creating a

remember when we made that change and made that decision and it was not an easy decision because there were a lot of people using that including I think at the time all of us were using that to method to ‸ pay our bill ‸ but at the end of the day
who are because we were paying that fee out of the utility funds and I mean it's like with any you know anytime you use a credit card somebody's paying the fee whether
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:53:26–00:53:26 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
using it at the gas pumps or where somebody's paying the fee so I don't necessarily want to change it but I think that we might have some individual customers who I know as a matter of fact one of ‸ the comments on next door is from a customer who's homebound with MS so paying by credit card and
it so I think we can get around those individuals ‸ who have an issue with it and but I think we need to be cognizant of that that we do have customers who especially right now can't necessarily come down and pay their water bill so any other method that we can get them and if our customer service people on the phone can you know maybe think outside the box a little bit and figure out a way that some of these people can get their bill paid some of these people that are homebound and you ‸ may not even have you know friends and family who are willing to get out now and do those things for them so ‸ I think as long ‸ as we're aware of those things and we're willing to deal with them on an individual basis we can keep this fee I ‸ pay it most of people I know pay it without complaining about it

I was just going to say real quick so I did when I was researching this I did call the line you know to pay my bill that way and of course they identify themselves as third party and that they can help you with any bill problems and tell you about the charge but
pay my bills I call the number on my bill to pay it and it's not even someone that could answer a question or so anyway just another reason why I want to continue to look into
down right now but there's a lot of people that are in some industries that pretty much are shut down so I know we're not doing shut offs now but what about those people if this thing lasts three to four months and those particular industries like a bar for example who's a bartender that's their career what's going to happen to those individuals who rack up you know now kids are home

is something that's within our current policy and we would take ‸ a proactive approach to that even prior to you know the end of this spread to contact them and encourage if they can ‸ pay something now because it's going to continue to build but also potentially roll out some sort of standardized payment plan because every situation is unique and it does take a lot of time for each customer service representative to talk through those details and work those out with our customers so looking at our policies as far as the maximum allowed payment plans and setting some standards and then working with those customers individually to okay

there were two separate grants we applied for this one being the one we really wanted because it took a more comprehensive approach to our tree canopy and that that will require an annual budgeted amount for year one two and three and we will for the first year the award amount is 25,000 and proposed matching 55,000 and that's for the assessment of our urban forest and then the year two the award is 15,000 and the match was 15,000 by the city and then same with year three so it was a competitive process and we were quite surprised to hear that we were awarded

and just the last item there was some inquiry as far as what is the how is the market impacting the city's finances and just wanted to provide just a little bit of an update as you as you know the city's investment policy there's two main objectives and that's safety and liquidity which were very important as we look at the impacts of the coronavirus
and so we're looking at a pretty steep loss ‸ and just to give an idea you know our we not only evaluated our funds that we hold and we'll get a detailed report for you all to see especially when we see this kind of level off of course the last few days it's bumped up

well first of all Matt I really appreciate you're really being seasoned by fire here aren't ‸ you and I really appreciate how quickly and thoroughly responded to all my questions I've been getting a lot of ‸ you guys but I've been getting a lot of calls in regard to the pandemic in regard to the county's response and concern with communications and concern with the leadership being shown there
applies to all the incorporated and unincorporated municipalities and that for us to go into our own state of emergency would actually kick in a lot of things that are not really relevant to dealing with this particular crisis if I'm summing that up correctly right
you approved some modifications to our purchasing policy in advance so we could get those orders in for the preventative supplies to combat the spread of COVID-19 and
for in prior events hurricane type events you know you're facing physical damage to a certain location within the county and so we declared that emergency in those instances so we can activate some other employment policies in order to ensure that we can protect the residents in advance and then also respond appropriately in this particular case it's a public health emergency and it's really being ran at the federal and state level and the county level to some degree

then I got another call in well he wants a stay-at-home order I don't know you know what's within our power to do here but certainly I mean I see people outside and I think it's okay to be outside. you know in small groups or

far as Brevard County the most significant state roadway network through our city and so you still have folks passing through our city that would make it very difficult and the police chief could maybe speak to that but to institute something like that would need to be more regional like you're seeing over in Orange County

and then I wanted to thank Samantha for putting together those the video that so we have because that was one of the suggestions made me by a constituent to have a video we can put out on social media but on the website and I know that I think yesterday was Matt and the mayor that were in a kind of an interview format
this and when I think about the appropriate person for that it would be Chief Lamb and like I've read the newspaper today in regard to the politicization of the communications at the county level, and I would really like to avoid that. myself I would prefer I don't need to be in those videos I mean I want to be able to pose questions but I really feel like we need a face to the crisis that and I think he's got a very calm demeanor and, you know, his voice is pretty soothing and gives us confidence
Yeah, and it will depend on the topic for each one because there's certain questions that, yes, he would be able to answer and there's certain questions that may be more appropriate for another person to answer. So it'll be based on that's why
We can definitely structure each one differently but it was to make sure that we know that our elected officials are asking the questions and getting the answers that your constituents are asking so okay
then I think maybe what it is is that we just need more shoulder shots and the you know sitting in the relaxed environment Of course it showed that we had them six feet apart. That was good. But the kind of you know quick flash get the news out I'm just thinking that

and also I want to say to that too is that please ‸ keep the questions coming if you let me know what those questions are I'm working on an FAQ add-on to our website as well. So I'm taking the questions that you're giving me and when we have answers putting those on there
questions I'm informed by others questions and I'm sometimes frustrated because our meetings will go so long and I'm aware that people don't have patience for the questions questions and so I end up maybe not asking them at the end or there are times when you know that's just a frustration so I've just been asking around other council members I know I sought advice from the attorney general's Office as well as speaking with the League of Cities and one of the options that was posed to me was doing an agenda review meeting. And what this involves is basically a publicly noticed meeting where we ask questions so I have the benefit of hearing your questions,
just kind of going through the business, not a lot of questions in the business detail. However you have more time for the public hearings, for you know public ‸ discussion I believe it would be a way to make things a little more transparent. Because one of my concerns a lot of times I'll ask questions and directors know this I'll even let them know what my questions are ahead of time. Because they're questions that have been posed to me and I remember when I was sitting in the audience and the council would make decisions and
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:16:29–01:16:29 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
the school boards and the other cities that do this, they're not mandatory. So if a council member can't make it, you know, they're not required to be there. you
don't have to have all the directors there. It works just like a workshop, right? and I'm wondering I don't know Matt what you think about. Is this the time to think about doing something like that or I know that you weren't opposed to the idea.

just just my advice. Don't worry about other people and their opinions on your questions. yeah Ask your questions. so That's ‸ why we're here. If someone gets out of hand and and and are being immature while you are asking those questions,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:17:56–01:17:56 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
that's something that the mayor needs to handle. He controls the meeting. So do not be concerned. That's my opinion. It's just, you know, ask your question That's why we're here.
They want to know that that you are asking those, no matter how long it is. It is what it is so I appreciate your question even sometimes I may not understand what your question may be, but that's for you.

answered and I asked it in the council meeting. If you can ask those questions prior to the meeting to the staff and get those answers and get it back to whoever you need to get it back to,
sometimes when you I mean if you're of the, of the, my director if you got a question I mean, that's the best time to ask that question. Because sometimes we come in here, they're not prepared for your, you know, for your question. And they don't have an answer. And they kind of, and they kind of have them sitting there looking like, you know, and now so if you, know
So if there is no consensus I am going to bring this up again because I think what it does is it, it allows for more sunshine. It allows for more transparency and I think it's at least worth a shot. And particularly when we look at

with, with new council members. So, you know, it depends on, you know, somebody who has a full-time job, doesn't have a job, you know, children at home I mean everybody's situation is different. So adding another meeting to what people are already doing may work for some people that may not work for others.
when the staff is here? Do you ask the staff to stay over another night? You know, there's a lot of considerations. ‸ So, you know, maybe it's something to look at. transparency.

together yesterday, some of that will calm down because a lot of that was generated by the fact that nobody was getting any information from the county. And what little bit of information was going out was going out to limited resources. And our major news sources were not being including and stuff that was going out so I think some of that will calm down too but I agree with Councilwoman cause I think Chief Lamb should be the spokesperson for the city, not just because of his demeanor and his calmness and the fact that he wears that white shirt and gives everybody a lot of confidence. But because he is our emergency management director. however I don't mind you know being the person to ask him the questions in the video so that they can see. As long as we give
I think he's the person that people want to hear the expert information from but I don't mind being you know playing reporter and asking him the questions to do a video or whatever, something along those lines, so that you get both. You get Jonathan's expertise and maybe get the you know the Council's faces out there if that's what it is you're looking to do but I ‸ really do agree that he I'm more comfortable when he tells me something as much as I love Mike Cantaloupe I'd rather hear it from Jonathan Lamb because Mike's look at that face I mean do you want to lose you know

Yeah. I did hear that it's better on YouTube than it is on Granicus but they still can't hear so that's definitely something we're going to have to address.
Yes sir. Okay. First of all I want to thank you Matt for the work you've been doing. You've been doing an excellent job and and Chief Cantaloupe. You guys going out to the parks and addressing those issues.

I just wanted to make one comment. So this was, uh, you know, referred to earlier by Jennifer Riggs' statement. There were 50 COCO citizens that supported that fundraiser and the MRC's efforts, um, and raised almost $4,000. So this is a way to kind of leverage that kind of community enthusiasm and commitment. Um, also, yeah, when, when I tried to make a donation, well, I ended up making a donation at the very end of the fiscal year because we hadn't used our monies last year. So,
Yeah, I just, um, because the Council's money to give away is, and, and I think what the Marine Resources Council, let me start by saying, I think what the Marine Resources Council is doing is, is a wonderful thing.

if you look back over our history, it tends to go to, to things for children, you know, for a lot of reasons. And, um, to deal with a lot of groups that have limited ability to raise funds or, and don't have other options or grant money or stuff. So I've kind of always liked to, to use that as a basis for how I make my decisions on whether to, to fund or donate the, the Council's little bit of money.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:38:27–01:38:27 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
it is a very little bit of money that we give away each year. Uh, and for those who don't have the background, we do it this way because there was a time when we didn't have a council meeting without somebody coming and asking for money. And it was, it was very difficult to say no. Um, some of these people were really deserving and, and really needed the money. And it was hard

you had the football team and the basketball team and the cheerleaders and the baseball team. And then you started having the youth football and the Pop Warner football and, and you can't say yes to everybody. Um, so I always felt like this money was for us to decide which of those entities we were going to help out each year when they really needed the help. Um, so for that reason, I am not going to support this. It's not because I don't support the work of the Marine Resources Council, but our citizens donated a big hunk of money to them a few nights ago. And I would rather save this money for some youth organization or some school or something in the city of Coco that, that has no other options for funding. That's just my two cents.
That's what, that distinguishes them from other nonprofits in our county that they actually, uh, leverage, you know, volunteers, um, and citizen science.
Okay? We didn't have the request for it. Um, so I wanted to make sure that I made the request this year. Also, at least 15 of those people, of the 50 people that made donations that participated in that event, were your constituents. A lot of people you know. Um, so I don't know if that they'll be very happy about your decision not to support it, not to support them when they're putting out a hundred of dollars out of their pocket to make sure that this happens.

And I can't remember the last time there was a slight disagreement as to, um, the donation. But ultimately, majority of, majority vote of the council, um, prevails. But you have a, if you budgeted each council member individually with a certain amount, I mean, there are budget restrictions that maybe a budget amendment would be ‸ required, right?

the, the actual contract that we will build it with the design engineer, we, we get a lot better plans, plans with less gaps in them, plans with maybe less errors and more changes in the future. Uh, and by that teaming process, uh, we think we also get a better price because they, they know more about that plan than anyone would. Uh, and hence we get a guaranteed maximum price that they're very comfortable with. Uh, we've analyzed and

Uh, this item is ‸ to authorize the city manager to approve a change order to Rush Marine LLC for installation of 61 anchors to improve the stability and resilience of the seawall along the riverfront park promenade. Uh, approve a resolution amending the FY20 budget, uh, budget amendment form number 20-053-A through the use of general fund balance. Uh, and I can answer any questions. I believe, uh, we actually received, uh, e-comment, uh, on this item. So, somewhat exciting. It's our first electronic comment.
seawall and the planters. Um, I wished to be assured that we properly evaluate the drainage of the soils adjacent to the seawall. Concrete can fall victim to water seepage. Water can quickly erode concrete, weakening it. It only takes a crack as wide as a hair to allow water in and the water will take advantage and widen the crack even more. Putting pressure on the wall.
Will the rebar being installed in the knee wall be properly coated to resist expansion or rust? Will drains evacuate? Water spilling into the plant beds during storms? These questions should be addressed before moving forward with this design. I also followed up by email regarding these concerns and was assured these engineering questions would be part of the final design. Were these studies done? If so, did it indicate that what would be done to avoid any of these potential issues?

we get the comment, but we also can get some information to provide a response to the citizen. And essentially the project was underway and as ‸ if you go out there now and look at it from Lee Winter Park, you can see that portion from the actual walkway to the seawall is completely open three, four feet down. There's a deep hole where they're doing the utility work and they'll be replacing right behind the seawall is where the knee wall will be positioned. And that drops below the surface approximately three feet. And then it's, you know, continuously poured concrete footer that goes across the bottom of the planter bed.

those tie backs that provide structural support to the seawall were actually severed almost ‸ every one of them. And there's 61 down there. They may not have to replace all of them, but they're estimating it's likely each and every one of them. And that auger, the piece of metal that they use to join ‸ the seawall to that tie back is a galvanized metal to resist corrosion.
the elements. So this was a, yes, a cost effective measure to ensure that our seawall is secure. After Hurricane Irma, they did an inspection of that because there was some washout right behind the seawall that went a few feet deep. And you could actually see some of these tie backs. Well, in those locations and digging back a little bit more, you couldn't see any damage there. But further back, there were some is where they were separated.

Oh, just to clarify, this has nothing to do with the design we selected. This is, would have to be, that seawall would have to be backed up with whatever design we had selected, as long as we are maintaining the seawall.

the seawall itself, those tie backs. That's why they had to take down a railing, close that connector and make those necessary repairs. So it is, it's a regular maintenance item. I don't know when it was last uncovered for us, but. Yeah.

I appreciate your quick response because I responded probably right before you responded before the meeting as well. So. Thank you, sir. Is there any more?
Yeah, I have some. I do know that. I know what she's talking about. ‸ Because sometime when that, when the sea rises and they keep crashing on that existing seawall, it's going to be a slight gap between the knee wall and the existing seawall. So, but I believe, just in my opinion, just by doing this work, that five foot footer is going to help a whole lot with ‸ keeping it steady and keeping the foundation. So, you know, nothing is 100%.

in your response, one of the parts of her question was original engineering study was done. So, when you said our engineers designed it to make sure that the water was not an issue in eroding the seawall. Is ‸ that answering the question she had? Because the question was, we were supposed to do an engineering survey to see what effect the water would have on the wall.

A long timeframe before we had any action. If we're going back and reevaluating their plan to ensure that with those adjustments made, you know, we'd still get a quality product that would withstand the forces.
to make sure that we got the part of her question about the engineering study answered because that seemed to me to be because she's saying I was told there would be an engineering study. Was there an engineering study and what did it show? So, that answers the question. Okay. Thank you.

All in favor signify by saying ‸ aye. Aye. Opposed? It passes unanimously. Okay, we can move on to our item number four. Which is a multi-year ‸ contract. Utilities director.
Yes, sir. Thank you, mayor. This is item number four. Approve the task order 2020-05 to CH2M for engineering services during construction for the Dial Water Treatment Plant Chemical Conversion and Reliability Improvements Project. Project number WS 1404 to approve the multi-year contract from fiscal years 2020 through 2022. So, this is obviously related to the previous agenda item that I just did. Services during construction include on-site inspections, meetings, coordination, change orders, RFIs, that kind of thing.
