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.

How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 8 voices separated from the audio. 15 short machine repair(s) (17 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 95.1% of 7,579 content words. Dotted words (164 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading. 148 passages (18% 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.

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.

[00:08:30] Speaker 1

and those have been in place since the inception of the CRA. So as far as Diamond Square CRA issues the rationale for creating the CRA 25 years ago was several different things. Governmental services for the maintenance of vacant lots, inadequate public transportation, inadequate youth activities, the need for park improvements, abandoned homes, ‸ buildings, and cars, the need for increased home ownership, for housing rehabilitation, for minority owned businesses, where food desert grocery stores needed, needed for jobs, drugs, crime, inadequate street lighting, and prostitution. Now these were ‸ issues that were noted in the workshops prior to the the original CRA plan ‸ in the 90s and these were community meetings that were held

these were the challenges that we are faced in the Diamond Square community. Hence the rationale for creating a Diamond Square CRA plan.

but also the residential programs that we have, especially over the last couple of years, have been very successful. Increased code enforcement measures over the last 25 years has helped to remove a great deal of the slum and blight of the community and to make room for new opportunities and new housing opportunities. A perfect example of that is our Habitat Female Veterans Village,

and we created the six homes for the Habitat Female Veterans Village, plus a stormwater retention pond, which will help with the flooding.

We're in the final stages with the city on the plans for those parks to get completed. A little tidbit of knowledge, there will be a pickleball court at Provost Park, which I believe is something that a few of you members had indicated was something that you were interested in. ‸ So we are excited about some of the new changes that will happen not only at Provost Park, but many of our parks here in Cocoa.

oversees the scheduling of parks. So ‸ we're working on, you know, being some cooperative leadership between the two agencies to kind of work together to accomplish some of those goals. Under housing, the infill housing on vacant lots, because a lot of those lots back in the 90s and early 2000s were demolished. They were homes that were either falling apart. They were ‸ either drug homes that had a lot of crime around them, and the city took them over and demolished those homes. So the infill housing on vacant lots is something that we're working towards completing ‸ at this point in our time, converting public and rental housing to owner-occupied. That's one of the biggest priorities that the city has right now is to have owner-occupied housing.

within the city. That is something that the Michael C. Blake subdivision will obtain that goal as far ‸ as having owner-occupied housing, as will some of the other lots that we have that are city-owned lots plus other

get them certified to be able ‸ to use these bikes in the community. So hopefully, within the near future, after they have completed their training, we'll see the bikes out in the community.

[00:15:43] Speaker 5

He told me today ‸ they just completed it and they're going to be riding them over here. Awesome. Great.

[00:15:49] Speaker 1 + overlapping voice

Which is great. So, ‸ if you watched the budget workshop this morning, somebody asked about, well, how hard is it to ride a bike? So, they do have to actually go through specific training because it is an e-bike and the type of e-bike that has certain controls, then they'll show those to you tonight at the meeting. But, so, it's ‸ not just a riding bicycle. They do have, it's electric and foot power. So, and there's some, some different things that they had to learn before they were able to take those out on the road.

‸ composed of representatives of a diverse cross-section of the community in order to coordinate activities within the community and assist in building nonprofit organization capacity. So, let me go back to the first one, enhancing streetscapes and pedestrian connectivity. The Stone Street streetscape project was one of the big projects in 2017, 2018, and 2019 that was completed that had connectivity that was put from Washington Avenue all the way to Fisk Boulevard. Now, that was important because that was

[00:18:03] Speaker 1 + overlapping voice

and there were no sidewalks along Stone Street for residents to get to the Wawa from that side of the neighborhood. So, that Stone Street corridor helped enhance that connectivity for not only cars, but for pedestrians and bicycles alike. Additionally, in 2014, we had the Peachtree Street streetscape project. Now, something to note on that one, the Peachtree Street streetscape project was the very first streetscape project in Brevard County that was a partnership between the Brevard County TPO and

‸ And that helped the Peachtree Street area. So, for those of you that don't know about what Peachtree Street looked like prior to 2014 and 2015, there were no sidewalks on the majority of that corridor from the railroad

Enhancing the streetscapes, obviously, that is happening throughout the entire part of Diamond Square. ‸ A lot of road paving, additional sidewalks and connectivity happening throughout the entire community.

institutions into Diamond Square to enhance that support for the community. In order to provide additional services that are not already provided enhance the services that are currently provided or provide new expanded services for our underserved populations. And then the last one is the establishing of a community based committee. That is one that the Diamond Square CRA I I sadly can say that we have not accomplished this goal yet. It's one of the objectives that as ‸ CRA that we we really do need to accomplish that before it's sunset because we've done a fabulous job over the years of working towards all of the other goals that we have in our CRA plan. This is number six and this is the one that we haven't yet accomplished a committee that can do what we want it to do after the sunset of the CRA because when the CRA sunsets in 2032 which is nine years from now. We have to be able to keep this moving forward in the right direction and getting that committee together of individuals like minded individuals like yourselves who are strong supporters of the community will help keep our message moving forward in the right direction to keep Diamond Square moving forward and growing as a community.

which is extremely expensive and it's, and it's the concrete costs have gone up, but it's just because of all the work that has to be done in order to, uh, to put the shelter in.

that's like, uh, having a drug store in our community. Also having, um, a senior, um, a senior type, uh, housing. So I know that, um, the housing authority is, is working on some things there, but I also wanted us to be thinking about what can we do as an agency in the future for those two items.

I don't have an answer for you. I'd have to do, I'd have to talk about that with the city manager and if there's been any discussion about it.

Well, when you, uh, you said, uh, there, there's 28 to 30 vacant lots owned by the city. Is any of that commercial property?
