AND LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR THIS WEEKEND WHERE WE CELEBRATE WHAT YOUR SON DID FOR US WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS AND ROSE AGAIN AND MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO BE RECONNECTED TO YOU IF WE ACCEPT HIM AND FOLLOW HIM. LORD, WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR THAT.

LORD, WE LIFT UP OUR PRAYERS FOR ALL THOSE ON THE CAMPUS OF FSU AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.

LORD, FOR THOSE THAT WERE. THAT WERE SHOT AND THOSE THAT WERE SAVED.

AND WE JUST PRAY THAT YOU'LL BE WITH ALL THOSE STUDENTS AND ALL THE WORKERS.

LORD, THANK YOU FOR THE STUDENTS THAT WARNED OTHERS, AND THANK YOU FOR THOSE THAT WERE ABLE TO RUN AND GET TO SAFETY.

AND LORD, WE PRAY FOR THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO WERE INJURED AND HURT AND SHOT.

AND LORD, WE PRAY FOR THEM. AND LORD, WE PRAY YOU LIFT PEOPLE AROUND THEM TO HELP THEM OUT AND TO LIFT THEM UP AND TO COME AROUND THEIR FAMILIES.

WE PRAY FOR THOSE THAT ARE IN THE HOSPITAL. THEY WOULD GET WELL, THAT THE DOCTORS WOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO OPERATE AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THINGS.

FATHER, WE PRAY FOR THE PSYCHE OF THE STUDENTS THAT WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS.

LORD, IT'S SAD THAT WE'RE CONFRONTED WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BUT LORD, WE'RE REMINDED THAT IT'S WHY YOU CAME TO GIVE US A WAY OUT OF SIN. TO CHOOSE SOMETHING DIFFERENT, TO RECONNECT US TO YOU SO THAT THINGS LIKE THIS HOPEFULLY WILL NOT, WILL NOT HAPPEN. OR YOU TOLD US THERE'D BE TROUBLE.

LORD, WE UNDERSTAND IT. BUT WE KNOW THAT YOU GAVE US A WAY TO GET THROUGH IT.

AND SO WE'RE THANKFUL FOR THAT. I PRAY FOR ALL THESE MEN AND WOMEN THAT WORK IN OUR CITY GOVERNMENT HERE, AND FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT OFFICES. GOD, I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GIVE THEM WISDOM AND THAT YOU WOULD GIVE THEM ACCESS TO ALL THE INTELLECT THAT YOU'VE GIVEN THEM.

LORD, I PRAY YOU'D BRING THINGS TO THEIR MIND AS THEY NEED TO REMEMBER IT, AND WOULD GUIDE THEM IN THE THINGS TO SAY AND THE DECISIONS TO MAKE.

I PRAY YOU'D HELP THEM TO STAND STRONG IN THE MIDST OF HARD THINGS.

FATHER, I PRAY FOR ALL OF US AS CITIZENS THAT WE WOULD BE MATURE AND CARING ABOUT OUR NEIGHBOR AND CARING ABOUT THOSE AROUND US, AND WORKING TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY TO MAKE THIS THE BEST THAT WE CAN.

FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, TO HONOR YOU WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE.

LORD, I PRAY THAT EVERY WORD SPOKEN TONIGHT WOULD BE FOR THE BETTERMENT AND FOR THE GOOD.

AND LORD, IF IT WOULDN'T BE THAT, YOU WOULD SILENCE IT AND SHUT IT DOWN.

LORD, WE LOVE YOU AND WE APPRECIATE YOU. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE.

IN YOUR NAME WE PRAY. AMEN. AMEN. JESUS. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

THANK YOU. YEAH. WAY TO GO, BIG MAN. YEAH. THANK YOU.

OKAY. WE ARE NOW ON PUBLIC COMMENTS. DEPUTY MAYOR.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS/RESPONSES:]

THANK YOU. LANCE FISHER, 130 MALABAR ROAD, PALM BAY POLICE DEPARTMENT DEPUTY CHIEF, RETIRED.

FOR OTHERS WHO HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE, PLEASE TAKE TIME AND WATCH EPISODE FOUR ON COTTLEVILLE, WHICH YOU CAN FIND ON YOUTUBE. IT'S AN UNFILTERED, UNEDITED ACCOUNT OF MY STORY, BUT TODAY ISN'T ABOUT ME, IT'S ABOUT CHIEF AJELLO.

TODAY IS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHIEF CONFRONTED ME IN MY OFFICE SAYING, YOU'RE NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD. YOU CAN'T DO THIS JOB ANYMORE. I WOULD FURTHER LIKE TO CONGRATULATE CHIEF AJELLO AS THE 2025 RECIPIENT OF SURVIVED FIRST PRESIDENT'S AWARD.

IN APPRECIATION FOR YOUR CARE AND COMPASSION FOR THOSE YOU SERVE.

WHERE WAS THAT CARE AND COMPASSION WHEN YOU TOLD DEPUTY CHIEF SPEARS, THE POP KIDS ONE BY ONE WITH THE PELLET RIFLE? THE FACT THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN INVESTIGATED IS APPALLING.

WHERE WAS THAT CARE AND COMPASSION WHEN YOU SAID YOU WERE PISSED? WHEN CITIZENS ARE BEING LOADED INTO AMBULANCES FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIVES, FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES, OR WHEN YOU CALLED YOUR OFFICERS THAT WERE OUT ON MENTAL AND PHYSICAL INJURIES YAHOOS, OR WHEN YOU FAILED TO ENSURE THAT SERGEANT FRANK TOVAR WAS HONORED ON THE SACRIFICE PARK, OR WHEN YOU THREW ME OUT OF THE BUILDING ON APRIL 17TH, 2024, AND SYSTEMATICALLY ISOLATING ME FROM THE VERY ORGANIZATION OFFICERS I SACRIFICED OVER 20 YEARS. I FIND IT IRONIC THAT CHIEF AGUILA USES A PALM BAY POLICE DEPARTMENT SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES TO HIGHLIGHT HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

IT TAKES A SPECIAL EGO TO PUT YOURSELF IN FRONT OR PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK IN FRONT OF A CROWD.

LET'S NOT FORGET, BOSS, THAT'S A REALLY GOOD ONE.

AN EGO SO LARGE THAT YOU REQUIRE YOUR STAFF TO WRITE POSTS DEDICATED TO YOU, BUT LACK THE SELF-CONFIDENCE TO ALLOW THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON THESE POSTS. CHIEF AGUILAR REQUESTED A SWAT, WHICH IS A STRENGTH, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS ASSESSMENT TO BE CONDUCTED TO UNDERSTAND AREAS THE

[00:25:02]

ON AUGUST 19TH. I DID A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST, A SECOND ONE ON DECEMBER 20TH OR SECOND FEBRUARY 23RD.

FINALLY, FOUR MONTHS LATER, I WAS ABLE TO GET GET MY ASSESSMENT.

THEY USED THE SERGEANTS, THE LIEUTENANTS AND THE COMMANDERS.

THERE WAS NO ANALYSIS BASED ON THE CIVILIAN LEADERSHIP GROUPS, NOR DID I RECEIVE ANYTHING REGARDING THE WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES, AND THREATS PORTIONS OF THE ANALYSIS. IN A FOLLOW UP REQUEST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SWOT ANALYSIS, I WAS INFORMED THAT ONLY THE STRENGTHS WERE PUT IN WRITING.

HE CAN'T MAKE IT UP. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE NOTES THAT WERE TAKEN TO USE TO PROVIDE THIS ANALYSIS, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE SECRETARY MYSELF AND GET THEM.

WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF A SWOT ANALYSIS IF YOU SOLELY FOCUS ON THE STRENGTHS? WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF AN ANALYSIS? IF YOU WON'T EVEN TAKE YOUR CIVILIAN STAFF FEEDBACK INTO CONSIDERATION? WHAT'S THE PURPOSE? THE PURPOSE IS THIS YOU HAVE A CHIEF OF POLICE THAT REFUSES TO ALLOW CRITICISM AT ANY LEVEL, REFUSES TO ALLOW CITIZENS TO COMMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES, REFUSES TO SELF-EVALUATE TO IMPROVE THE AGENCY AND LEADERSHIP.

THE PURPOSE IS TO SELF-PROMOTE AND USES SMOKE SMOKING SCREEN.

MIRRORS TO ACT LIKE YOU PROMOTE OPENNESS WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY. WHEN YOU SHOW AND SHOW TIME AND TIME AGAIN, YOU DON'T CARE OR HAVE COMPASSION FOR THOSE WHO SERVE.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, CHIEF AJELLO. IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE, YOU TAKE THE TIME AND WATCH THIS EPISODE WHERE I TELL MY STORY.

UNLIKE YOU, CHIEF, I DON'T MIND SHARING THE UNPOPULAR SIDE OF THE PALM BAY POLICE DEPARTMENT'S LEADERSHIP CHANGES COMING 2026.

BILL. BATON. BILL BATTEN, 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST. AS MOST INDIVIDUALS ARE AWARE, THERE WAS A SHOOTING ON FSU TODAY, RIGHT? I'M PROBABLY THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN ON THIS INCIDENT ONE MORE TIME.

AS I LOOK AT THIS, IT'S ONE MORE TIME WHERE A SAFE ZONE IS, WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE BEING SHOT, THE SAFE, AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT A TARGET, IS BECAUSE THEY CONSIDER IT A SAFE ZONE.

I'M 100% IN FULL, FULL SUPPORT OF THE RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELF.

AND WHEN YOU TELL AS AN INDIVIDUAL, YOU CAN'T DEFEND YOURSELF.

JUST BECAUSE OF WHERE YOU'RE LOCATED, IT KIND OF HINDERS YOUR ABILITY TO DEFEND YOURSELF.

I SPENT 22 YEARS ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS, AND EVERY DAY I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD THE RIGHT TO CARRY CONCEALED ON THAT CAMPUS EVERY DAY.

BECAUSE JUST TWO BLOCKS AWAY, PEOPLE WERE DYING TWO BLOCKS AWAY.

BUT I COULDN'T CARRY. SO I'M LIKE, I SAY, THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS COIN WHERE I THINK AN INDIVIDUAL SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DEFEND THEMSELVES IF THEY NEEDED THE OPPORTUNITY.

AND SAFE ZONES ARE NO MORE THAN A TARGET ZONE FOR SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO BREAK THE LAW AND KILL SOMEBODY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER. TRISH. KOBA.

I'M TRISH TOBER, 130 MALABAR ROAD. TOPIC OF DISCUSSION IS SACRIFICE PARK AND SERGEANT FRANK TOBER.

NATIONALLY, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS INLINE DUE TO DEATH.

SERGEANT FRANK TOVAR'S NAME IS WRITTEN IN STONE AT THE WASHINGTON, DC MEMORIAL FOR FALLEN OFFICERS.

HE IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS IN LINE OF DUTY.

DEATH BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. CONCERNS OF POLICE SURVIVORS.

OFFICER DOWN MEMORIAL PAGE. A RIGHT TO REMEMBER TOUR DE FORCE AND MANY MORE.

STATE RECOGNITION AS IN LINE OF DUTY. DEATH. SERGEANT FRANK TOBAR'S NAME IS WRITTEN IN STONE AT THE STATE OF FLORIDA MEMORIAL IN TALLAHASSEE.

OF FALLEN OFFICERS. COUNTY RECOGNITION AS IN LINE OF DUTY.

DEATH. SERGEANT FRANK TOBAR'S NAME IS WRITTEN IN STONE AT THE COUNTY MEMORIAL IN TITUSVILLE FOR FALLEN OFFICERS.

LOCALLY, PALM BAY POLICE DEPARTMENT SERGEANT FRANK TOBAR'S BLUE FAMILY, FRIENDS, TRAINEES, COWORKERS, AND PALM BAY POLICE EXPLORERS. PALM BAY PD WAS THE FIRST TO RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN IN HONORING SERGEANT FRANK TOVAR, AS IN THE LINE OF DUTY OF DEATH, WHO IS NOT ON THIS LIST.

THE VERY CITY SERGEANT FRANK TOVAR, GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

THIS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION.

THIS CITY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ONE OF YOUR VERY OWN MOST VALUABLE EMPLOYEES WHO SERVED THIS CITY FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS.

FLEET FOR TEN YEARS. PALM BAY PD 17 YEARS AS A SWORN POLICE OFFICER.

[00:30:06]

PT INSTRUCTOR. POLICE ACADEMY INSTRUCTOR TRAINING UNIT.

POLICE GUN RANGE, MASTER WRITER FOR CURRICULUM FOR FDLE, MASTER TASER TRAINER, AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.

WHAT MESSAGE DOES THIS SEND TO THE REST OF THE POLICE OFFICERS, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND EMPLOYEES OF THIS CITY? WHOMEVER THIS CITY COUNCIL IS GETTING THEIR COUNSEL FROM IN THIS MATTER, YOU MAY WANT TO RECONSIDER THE SOURCE IN THEIR MISGUIDED INTENTIONS AS TO WHY THE CITY OF PALM BAY IS THE ONLY ENTITY NOT HONORING SERGEANT FRANK TOVAR AS AN IN LINE OF DUTY DEATH AT THE NEWLY CONSTRUCTED MEMORIAL AT SACRIFICE PARK.

DO THE RIGHT THING BY HONORING SERGEANT FRANK TOVAR.

PUT HIS NAME ON THE CITY OF PALM BAY. SACRIFICE PARK MEMORIAL AS HE SACRIFICED HIS LIFE FOR THIS CITY.

YES, MA'AM. MR. MORGAN. I'D LIKE TO CALL UP THE CHIEF, IF WE CAN.

YES, CHIEF. IF YOU COME FORWARD JUST WHILE THE CHIEF'S COMING FORWARD.

WE ARE BRINGING AN ITEM TO YOUR NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

IT'S REALLY ABOUT TRYING TO ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE MEMORIAL FOR ALL THE OTHER AGENCIES.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY DOUBT ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR HONOR, BUT WE WANTED THAT OPPORTUNITY SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE A CONSISTENT APPLICATION ACROSS ALL THE OTHER AGENCIES WHO WILL BE INVITED TO HONOR THEIR FALLEN.

CHIEF, I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF THERE'S ANY PROCESS RIGHT NOW IN ADDING HAVING SIGNED FRANK AUERBACH TO SACRIFICE BACH.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. GOOD EVENING. SO THE PROCESS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THE LAST PROBABLY ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO PRIOR TO THE RIBBON CUTTING FOR SACRIFICE.

PARK MYSELF WITH DEPUTY CITY MANAGER MISS KELLY.

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR ALL THE AGENCIES AND THE COUNTIES THROUGHOUT THE IN THE AREA, BOTH STATE AND ALSO KENNEDY SPACE CENTER FOR A PROCESS TO BE SELECTED AND PLACED ON THERE AS A MEMORIAL.

SO AND IT ALL FALLS UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE GUIDELINES AND ELIGIBILITY.

RIGHT. AND I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT HIS DEATH WAS LINE OF DUTY DEATH FROM THE INCEPTION.

YES. IT WAS DETERMINED A LINE OF DUTY DEATH FROM THE INCEPTION.

CORRECT. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. OKAY. THANK YOU.

SO THEN MY LAST COMMENT IS AND I DON'T REMEMBER THE MONTH THAT SERGEANT AUGUST.

IT WAS AUGUST. DO YOU FEEL EVERYTHING WILL BE IN PLACE BY AUGUST OF 2025? ABSOLUTELY. MYSELF AND DEPUTY CITY MANAGER WERE TALKING ABOUT IT AND GOING OVER SOME SOME LANGUAGE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE THE COUNCIL MEETING. HAVE YOU HAVE YOU BEEN IN TALKS WITH THE FRANKS OR SORRENTO BARS? I SPOKE WITH MISS TOVAR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

OKAY. AND SPOKE TO HER PRIOR TO THE COUNCIL MEETING.

SORRY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT.

ABSOLUTELY. WITH MRS.. TOVAR. THANKS, CHIEF. APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR. MORGAN, NEXT SPEAKER, MARK MILLER.

ALL RIGHT. MARK MILLER, 898 NELSON AVENUE. PALM BAY.

WANT TO THANK THE CHIEF? THE FIRE CHIEF, ACTUALLY, FIRE CHIEF FOR SUPPORTING OUR KICK AND BEAR PROGRAM.

WE HAVE MORE THAN 200 PEOPLE SHOW UP. IT WAS A FREE FAMILY EVENT.

TONS OF KIDS. THE ONLY THING WAS, I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS COMING, RIGHT.

SO IT WAS REALLY FUNNY. WE GOT A COUPLE OF HUNDRED KIDS SHOOTING BOW AND ARROWS, THROWING AXES, SHOOTING BB GUNS.

AND HERE COMES A FIRE TRUCK RUSHING IN WITH THE LIGHTS GOING.

SO I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOODNESS. BUT MAN, IT WAS SO AWESOME.

TO HAVE THE FIRE TRUCK THERE AND TO HAVE THE KIDS CLIMBING ALL OVER.

THE I WISH I HAD TAKEN THE NAMES OF THE FIREMEN TO THANK THEM PERSONALLY, BUT IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

SPEAKING OF FREE COMMUNITY EVENTS, JUST A REMINDER.

EASTER EXTRAVAGANZA IS THIS SATURDAY, FRED POPPY PARK.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON OUT FOR THAT. IT'S ALL FREE.

AND THEN THE WEEKEND AFTER THAT, OF COURSE, WE LAUNCH OUR BIBLE READING MARATHON.

IT'S AN OPENING CEREMONY HERE BY THE POLICE STATION BETWEEN 6 AND 7, FOLLOWED BY 365 15 MINUTE READING SESSIONS.

AND IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE IN A CITY OF 140,000 PEOPLE, WITH ALL THE BELIEVERS HERE ON THE DAIS THAT WE CAN'T FILL THOSE 365 SPOTS.

SO LET'S SPEAK THE WORD RIGHT. TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR CHURCH.

CHALLENGE YOUR PASTOR. CERTAINLY, BETWEEN ALL OF OUR CHURCHES, WE GOT 365 PEOPLE TO SIGN UP.

[00:35:01]

NOT JUST ABOUT PUBLIC SERVICE, BUT WE'VE CREATED A A NATION A SOCIAL MEDIA NATION OF WHINERS AND COMPLAINERS THAT DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING. THEY JUST WANT TO COMPLAIN. AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU SHARING YOUR HEART OUT THERE.

I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING AT YOU, MAYOR. SORRY ABOUT THAT. BUT AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME SPEAK AT OUR OR VISIT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEAK AT OUR SALT AND LIGHT COMMITTEE. WE'RE THE FIRST CHURCH IN BREVARD COUNTY TO HAVE A SALT AND LIGHT COMMITTEE, WHICH IS ENCOURAGING CHRISTIANS.

IT'S ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GET ENGAGED WITH GOVERNMENT AND COME AND SPEAK LIKE I AM RIGHT NOW.

ALRIGHT. AND I DEFINITELY HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO PUBLISH THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS BECAUSE IT'S SO EASY TO FORGET ABOUT THE WINDS WITH ALL THE NEGATIVITY, RIGHT? IT'S SO EASY TO SHOOT HOLES IN IT. SPEAKING OF THAT NEGATIVITY, RIGHT? YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE NEW CITY MANAGER, AND HE HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET.

OH, MY GOSH. RIGHT, MAN. SET HIM UP FOR SUCCESS.

WILL YOU GIVE HIM WHAT HE NEEDS? DON'T THROW HIM IN THE DEEP END WITH THE SHARKS AND LET'S SEE IF HE CAN SURVIVE.

GET HIM WHAT HE NEEDS SO WE CAN WIN. ALRIGHT.

IF HE FAILS, WE ALL FAIL. SO GIVE HIM WHAT HE NEEDS.

IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A SURPRISE THAT HE'S COMING OR WHAT HIS START DATE IS.

AMEN. WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST WEEK. WHERE DO YOU WANT HIM TO FOCUS? WHAT BUSINESS CATEGORIES DO WE WANT TO BRING IN AND HOW CAN WE HELP? AMEN. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU.

OH, AND IF I CAN GIVE YOU. PLEASE SIGN UP THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER TO SHOOT THAT.

I'M SORRY FOR THE MARATHON. AND THOSE ARE GREAT.

THANK YOU. KENDALL. GOT IT. SIT DOWN.

KENT DELGADO, 154 ANGELO ROAD, SOUTHEAST. AMAZING.

AMAZING. MARK. I JUST WANT TO SAY TO MY JEWISH FRIENDS, HAPPY PASSOVER WEEK.

THE SAME TIME I'D LIKE TO SAY TO MY CHRISTIAN BROTHERS, HAPPY EASTER.

AND FOR ALL THE OTHER ONES THAT DON'T CLASSIFY BETWEEN THOSE TWO, I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

I JUST WANT TO SAY, WHEN I WAS GOING TO HAVE OUR FIRST CHILD, WE SET UP A ROOM BEFORE HE WAS EVEN BORN.

WE GOT IT PREPARED. I MEAN, WE HAD TOYS THERE THAT HE WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PLAY WITH, BUT WE WANTED TO DRESS IT UP, MUCH LIKE WHAT GOD DID WHEN HE CREATED HIS FAMILY.

I BELIEVE HE WANTED A FAMILY. SO HE CREATED TWO CHILDREN, CALLED HIM SONS AND DAUGHTERS.

ADAM AND EVE. THEY GAVE HIM A NAME. ADAM AND EVE AND SET THEM IN A PRE PREMADE PLACE CALLED A GARDEN, THE GARDEN OF EDEN. AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW, WITH HAVING EVERYTHING THEY THEY WANTED, THE ONE THING THEY DIDN'T THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE, THEY DECIDED IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE REGULATIONS.

I KNOW YOUR CHILDREN NEVER DID THAT, BUT ADAM AND EVE DID, AND THEY WERE.

THEY GOT OUT OF THE HOUSE. SEE, ALL THIS IS ABOUT EASTER.

WHAT IS EASTER REALLY ABOUT? EASTER IS GOD'S EFFORT TO TRY TO REACH THE FAMILY THAT HE LOST.

WE CAN SEE IN THIS WORLD HURT, PAIN, SUFFERING, DYING, KILLING.

ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE HOUSE OF GOD.

BUT BUT MANKIND AS AS THEY WOULD, AS SO MANY PEOPLE DO, THEY GO OUT, THEY DO THEIR OWN THING.

BUT GOD SAID, YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T WANT MY FAMILY BACK.

AND SO THE WORD SAID, I'LL COME DOWN WITH THE NAME JESUS AND I'M GOING TO RESCUE MY FAMILY.

I'M GOING TO DO EVERY ATTEMPT TO BRING THEM BACK INTO THE FAMILY OF FAMILIES THAT I WANTED TO HAVE.

FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME ON THE CROSS, HE MADE THE ROAD THE WAY, THE, THE, THE, THE METHOD, THE, THE, HOW TO TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD.

AND HE SUFFERED AND HE DIED FOR ALL OF HUMANITY.

WHY? ONE REASON ONLY BECAUSE HE LOVED HIS FAMILY.

HE LOVES HUMANITY EVEN IN THE DEPTHS OF ALL THAT THEY DO WRONG.

AND ON THE CROSS HE PAID FOR EVERY PENALTY. AND SINCE THERE'S NO DOUBLE INDEMNITY, HE SAYS, I'M GIVING YOU A GIFT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID WRONG BECAUSE I PAID IT FOR YOU.

WOULD YOU COME BACK HOME? WOULD YOU COME BACK TO ME? AND AS WE ACCEPT WHAT HE DID ON THE CROSS AND ASKED JESUS TO COME INTO OUR HEARTS LIKE I DID WHEN I WAS 28 AND SAVED MY MARRIAGE AND THE DESTRUCTION THAT MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME. HE MADE THE DIFFERENCE, AND HE WANTS TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN EVERY LIFE.

AND SO WE CELEBRATE EASTER, THE RESURRECTION MOMENT WHEN GOD SAID, I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF, TAKEN CARE OF EVERYTHING.

[00:40:04]

WOW. PASTOR. IN THREE MINUTES. GOOD EVENING, ROBERT STICE, 1796 LINDBERGH DRIVE. ABOUT AT THE END OF MARCH, I WAS FLIPPING AROUND THE CHANNELS AND I WATCHED AN INTERVIEW.

MARK LEVINE WAS INTERVIEWING RON DESANTIS, SO I THOUGHT I'D TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

ONE OF THE COMMENTS HE MADE, HE MADE SEVERAL REALLY GOOD ONES, BUT ONE OF THE COMMENTS HE MADE WAS THAT HE WANTED TO SEE ALL THE CITIES IN FLORIDA ON DOGE. AND TO ME, DOGE IS NOTHING MORE THAN GOING AFTER THE LOW HANGING FRUIT THAT MANY COMPANIES THAT I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN HAVE BEEN DOING FOR MANY YEARS.

THAT BEING SAID, I'M HEARING A LOT OF GOOD THINGS FROM CITY STAFF ABOUT HOW THE CITY IS IMPROVING ON FOLLOW UP AND FOLLOW THROUGH.

TRANSPARENCY, PROJECT MANAGEMENT. THIS IS ALL GOOD STUFF.

AND I'D LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT. WE, YOU KNOW, I'M ABLE TO COMMUNICATE NOT ONLY IN MY HOA OF 172 HOMES, BUT WE'VE BEEN HAVING MEETINGS WITH THE 15 HOA PRESIDENTS AND VP'S IN BAYSIDE LAKES, SO WE CAN REALLY START GETTING THAT WORD OUT WHAT THE CITY IS THE DIRECTION THE CITY IS GOING. SO I'M ENCOURAGED ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW, TEAM BUILDING, ETC.. HOW CAN WE APPLY THIS DURING CITY MEETINGS? HOW DO WE MINIMIZE THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT WE'RE AT THESE CITY MEETINGS? I'VE BEEN OUT HERE LONG ENOUGH THAT WE DIDN'T GET OUT THE DOOR TO 130, 115, 1:00 IN THE MORNING, AND MY ASS IS DRAGGING ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I STAND IN THE BACK AND START STRETCHING.

I AM THRILLED ABOUT THE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM AND HONORING THEM, BUT I JUST MY PERCEPTION IS THAT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE BRING UP HERE COULD BE DONE AT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. SO HOW DO WE BRING DOJIN NOT ONLY TO TO THE CITY, BUT, YOU KNOW, IN HERE, BUT EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. SO I'M ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER THAT YOU'VE TAKEN THE THREE MINUTES THE FINAL THREE MINUTES THAT WE USED TO GET WHEN THERE'S 5 OR 6 OF US LEFT IN HERE. BUT HOW DO YOU FOLKS, HOW DO YOU ALL, YOU KNOW, MAINTAIN OR INCREASE YOUR EFFICIENCIES IN THESE MEETINGS WHILE COMMUNICATING, COMMUNICATING, AND COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR RESIDENTS.

PLEASE CONSIDER THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER.

RUTH.

GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL, MAYOR AND CITIZENS. I'M HANDING OUT SOMETHING THAT I PRELIMINARILY GAVE TO COUNCIL A MONTH AGO, SAYING I DID NOT WANT TO SEE THIS COME TO MY DOOR.

WELL, IT SHOWED UP ON FRIDAY. SO LIVING IN OUR BREVARD, IN OUR BELOVED PALM BAY, MY NEIGHBORS AND I ARE FACING A TOUGH SITUATION.

PRICE. FAMILY HOMES DO NOT CARE FOR THE CURRENT RESIDENTS BECAUSE PRICE FAMILY HOMES DOESN'T EXIST IN BREVARD COUNTY.

THEY ARE PLANNING TO ADD 25 OR MORE HOMES TO OUR ALREADY UNDERSERVED AND OVERCROWDED NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN HERE OVER 25 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH NO STREET LIGHTS, NAVIGATING THROUGH TWO NARROW STREETS, ALL WHILE BATTLING INCREASED FLOODING ISSUES DUE TO HIGH BUILDING EVALUATION ELEVATIONS ON NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT.

IT IS A DIRE SITUATION THAT COMPROMISES THE QUALITY OF OUR LIFE AND THE FUTURE OF THE RESIDENTS LIVING HERE.

BUILDERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHO THEY ARE IMPACTING WITH THEIR INVASION INTO AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH THERE ARE THREE ACTIVE BUILDING REQUESTS COMING TO PLANNING AND ZONING, INCLUDING THIS ONE THAT ARE OF SIMILAR NATURE.

WHEN THEY SELL THEIR HOMES, THEY GET THEIR MONEY.

THEY ABANDONED THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN. REZONING AND IN PALM BAY, FLORIDA THREATENS TO EXPAND THE CITY BEYOND ITS CAPACITY TO HANDLE GROWTH.

WE'RE THEREFORE DEMANDING A STOP TO ALL REZONING ACTIVITIES UNTIL THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF PALM BAY HAS BEEN ADEQUATELY UPGRADED AND RESTORED.

WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT OUR CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE CAN SUSTAIN A 10% GROWTH WITHOUT COMPROMISING ON THE SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF ITS RESIDENTS. IT IS ABOUT SUSTAINING THE LIFE AND VIBRANCY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND PROTECTING OUR CITY'S CHARM AND HERITAGE.

[00:45:01]

WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR CITY FROM COSIGNING, CONSIGNING ITS RESIDENTS TO LIVING IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS NOT APT FOR HEALTHY AND SAFE LIVING.

PLEASE, I HAVE A PETITION ONLINE FOR CITIZENS TO GO OUT AND LOOK AT, AND THEY CAN SIGN AND WE WILL, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE COUNCIL AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE.

WE ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS TO VOICE THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS.

I HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES PROMISES HAVE BEEN MADE HERE TO SAY, WE ARE GOING TO STOP THE REZONING AND STOP THE BUILDING HERE UNTIL WE CAN CATCH UP.

WELL IT'S TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, PAT DALPRA.

GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL. PAT DALPRA, 14 GEORGE'S AVENUE NORTHEAST.

FIRST, I JUST WANT TO WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY EASTER COUNCIL STAFF AND ALL THE CITIZENS OF PALM BAY, WHICH WE ALSO CALL RESURRECTION SUNDAY. I WAS TALKING TO A SUBCONTRACTOR TODAY, AND HE MENTIONED THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE DEVELOPERS COMING IN FROM NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE MORE DEVELOPERS THAT ARE COMING IN FROM AROUND HERE, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE, BECAUSE MANY DEVELOPERS FROM OUT OF THIS STATE DON'T REALLY REALIZE, YOU KNOW, FLORIDA, THEY'LL BRING THEIR CALIFORNIA NEW YORK IDEAS HERE.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO JUST BRING THAT UP. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE LISA FRASER.

FOUR OF US HAD A MEETING WITH HER AND IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE, VERY SUCCESSFUL AND ENCOURAGING.

AND SHE ENCOURAGES US TO JUST KEEP BRINGING IDEAS FORWARD AND NOT TO GIVE UP.

SOMETIMES WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE BANGING OUR HEADS AGAINST THE WALL.

SO SHE WAS VERY ENCOURAGING. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT WHEN I MET WITH GREG AND JOHN MCCALL, THAT BOTH OF THEM WERE VERY ENCOURAGING AS WELL.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY, STAFF, KEEP IT UP. I WANT TO DITTO WITH RUTH.

CAN WE PLEASE STOP THE REZONING? AND HOPEFULLY WE ARE ABLE TO GET MORE MONEY FOR OUR ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER. THAT CONCLUDES THE CARDS, MAYOR.

OKAY, SO WE'RE NOW GOING TO PUBLIC HEARINGS BEFORE I DO.

GENTLEMEN, I JUST WANT TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS ITEM THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.

IT'S MUCH LIKE A HOCKEY PUCK. IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK, GO AHEAD AND TAP ON THAT.

AND I'M GOING TO TRY TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

I WANT TO COMMEND AND THANK OUR CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING BATTLE FOR OVER FOUR YEARS NOW THAT I'VE REQUESTED SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

AND AND I'M EXCITED. AND SO I HAVE A TOY UP HERE WHERE I'M GOING TO HONOR EACH AND EVERY ONE SO I DON'T HAVE TO.

MY HEAD DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ON A SWIVEL. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE'RE ON PUBLIC HEARING.

ITEM NUMBER ONE, MADAM SMITH. MAYOR, I THINK OH.

DID I GO INTO. I SKIPPED CONSENT ALL ALONG. OKAY, WE'RE GOING INTO CONSENT.

[APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA:]

SECOND. I GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFEY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.

ALL IN FAVOR? NO, NO, NO, JUST A SECOND. OKAY.

ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. AYE.

PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE'RE NOW ON PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[PUBLIC HEARINGS:]

LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, CHAPTER 172. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURES.

BY MODIFYING OR MODIFYING PROVISIONS CONTAINED THEREIN.

PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT.

HEREWITH. PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

CODE OF ORDINANCES PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY CLAUSE.

PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU MA'AM.

I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND DEFER TO MR. MORGAN. YES. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, OUR GROWTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR, LISA FRAZIER, WILL GIVE AN OVERVIEW.

THIS WILL COVER BOTH PUBLIC HEARING ITEM ONE AND ITEM TWO.

[00:50:02]

THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME. I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT THIS EVENING PRIOR TO OPENING UP OUR PHASE TWO LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATES, TO KIND OF CENTER US BACK ON WHY WE'RE DOING THIS.

AND SEVERAL QUESTIONS SUCH AS THIS CAME UP DURING THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD, SO I FAILED TO DO THAT FOR THEM.

I WILL NOT FAIL TO DO THAT FOR YOU. AND IN IN REGARD TO THAT, THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD HAS REQUESTED THAT WE DO A WORKSHOP ON THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS FOR THEM AND FOR THE PUBLIC, AND WE WILL BE HOLDING THAT ON MAY 7TH PRIOR TO THEIR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING.

SO BETWEEN 5 AND 6, WE WILL BE HOLDING THIS OPEN FORUM ON OUR PLANNING PROCESSES.

AND WHO WILL BE YOU'LL BE INVITING A LOT OF THE ORGANIZATIONS.

YES, SIR. WE CERTAINLY CAN, IF YOU'D LIKE US TO.

YES. IF IF WE CAN MAKE SURE WE DO THAT. ABSOLUTELY.

BE HAPPY TO. ARE WE READY? BRIAN? THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO TO BRING YOU BACK BACK IN 2023 THE THE CITY DID UPDATE THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN REGARD TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES.

THE CITY THEN HAD ONE YEAR TO BRING THEIR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE UP, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

IT'S A HEAVY LIFT, BUT THE CITY DID A GREAT JOB IN GIVING IT ITS DUE PROCESS AND THE RECOGNITION THAT IS NEEDED TO TO BRING THE CODE UP INTO THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVES OF THE CITY.

WE DIDN'T DO THIS IN A VACUUM. CERTAINLY CITY STAFF ALL WORKED WITH EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT THAT IS THERE, AS WELL AS HOLDING NUMEROUS PUBLIC WORKSHOPS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS.

SOME OF THEM WERE VIRTUAL, GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2023.

IN ADDITION, THIS IS FUN. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S DOING THAT.

IN ADDITION ONCE IT WAS FINALIZED AND WE BROUGHT IT TO THE COUNCIL.

WE HELD A SERIES OF OPEN HOUSES, SOME. VIRTUAL SESSIONS.

THAT REALLY INCORPORATED A LOT OF GREAT FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY.

THE CITY COUNCIL DID ADOPT THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IN SEPTEMBER 19TH OF 2024.

WE ALSO HELD A SERIES OF STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOPS IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR JUST TO AGAIN.

SOLICIT SOME FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY AFTER WORKING WITH THIS LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS, FINDING SOME DISCREPANCIES WHERE A LOT OF THE INFORMATION GAPS WERE.

NOW WE'RE BRINGING IT BACK TO CLEAN IT UP AND MAKE IT THE PROCESS MUCH MORE USER FRIENDLY.

YOU CAN FIND THE NEW LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ON OUR WEBSITE.

IN THAT TAB YOU CAN FIND WHAT WE DID. PRIOR IN THAT TAB.

AND I BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION SO THAT THOSE WHO PERHAPS WEREN'T HERE OR DON'T RECALL, WE HAD A WHOLE LIST RIGHT HERE. THE SUMMARY OF PUBLIC INPUT THAT SHOWS THE COMMUNITY AND THE COUNCIL, ALL OF THE ITEMS IN THAT TIME THAT WE SAID WE WOULD REVIEW UNDER PHASE TWO.

BUT AGAIN, AS THE PUBLIC, AS THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, AS THE STAFF HAS, HAS WORKED WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS, WE'VE ALSO FOUND SOME OTHER GAPS. AND SO OUR PURPOSE FOR THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE MAKING THE PROCESS MORE CONSISTENT AND PREDICTABLE FOR ALL OF THE END USERS.

SO TONIGHT WE ARE STARTING WITH HELLO. CHAPTER 171.

THAT'S DEFINITIONS. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 70 OR 66 NEW DEFINITIONS AND 22 REVISED DEFINITIONS.

THESE DEFINITIONS WERE GAPS OF USES THAT WERE PERMITTED OR TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGIES THAT ARE IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

AND AGAIN, WE WANT IT TO MAKE THESE CHANGES SO WE CAN IMPROVE THE CONSISTENCY AND INTERPRETATION OF OUR CODE FOR ALL USERS.

THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES HERE. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT SALES DISTILLERIES.

THESE ARE USES THAT ARE PERMITTED IN THE CITY.

YET THEY WERE NOT CLEARLY DEFINED. THE OTHER CHAPTER WE WILL BRING FORWARD TO THIS EVENING IS CHAPTER 172. THAT'S OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURES.

THIS TABLE IS REALLY THE BEST DEPICTION OF A LOT OF THE CHANGES AND CLARIFICATIONS THAT WE HAVE MADE IN THIS CHAPTER.

FOR INSTANCE, OUR CONCURRENCY, WE HAVE ADDED ADDITIONAL EVALUATION STEPS AND DURING DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS THAT WERE

[00:55:09]

WE'VE ALSO ADDED POLICE AND FIRE INTO THAT ANALYSIS, WHICH IS NOT IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IS TYPICAL, BUT WE'VE ADDED IT INTO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

WE'VE ALSO UPDATED SOME OF THE PUD PROCESSES AND TERMINOLOGY.

SOME OF THE WE CLARIFIED A LOT OF THE PLAT REQUIREMENTS.

WE'VE ADDED THE STREET NAMING AND STREET NAMING CHANGES.

WE'RE FOLLOWING BREVARD COUNTY PROCESSES, BUT WE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO PUT IT IN OUR CODE.

WE'VE ALSO CLARIFIED SOME THINGS IN THE LOT SPLITS.

EVERYTHING IS NOW IN THIS TABLE. AND WE CAN PROCEED FURTHER.

THE AGAIN, THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE MAY BE SOME QUESTIONS AS TO HOW THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS HAPPENS IN THE CITY.

THIS IS JUST A VERY BROAD, VERY SIMPLE TABLE HERE SHOWING YOU THAT WITH EACH APPLICATION YOU ARE EITHER TAKING THE PUBLIC HEARING ROUTE OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE ROUTE. AND AS WE GO THROUGH, WE HAVE DIFFERENT STEPS THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO THROUGH.

I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT EVERY NEW PROJECT, NOT EVERY NEW APPLICATION, BUT EVERY NEW PROJECT, WE REQUIRE PRE-APPLICATION MEETING AND WE REQUIRE A CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN.

THIS IS OUR GENERAL REVIEW TIMELINE. AGAIN, WE FOLLOW FLORIDA STATUTE 163 THAT STATES THAT WITHIN FIVE BUSINESS DAYS OF A COMPLETE APPLICATION, IT WILL BE DISSEMINATED TO OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE, WHICH IS ALL THE STAFF AND THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

THEY THEN HAVE 30 DAYS TO TURN IT AROUND AND PROVIDE THE REVIEWS.

WE GO THROUGH THAT THREE TIMES ON THE THIRD TIME, IF WE STILL HAVEN'T MET A MEETING OF THE MINDS, WE THEN CALL THEM IN FOR A DRC MEETING SO THAT WE CAN REALLY FIND OUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS MOVE FORWARD.

AGAIN, ALL OF THOSE STEPS ARE IN THE FLORIDA STATUTES, AND WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE STEPS.

ONE OF THE MAJOR CHANGES THAT WAS DISCUSSED WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD THAT I ASKED MY STAFF TO PLEASE CLARIFY.

WE HAVE A TRANSPORTATION PLANNER ON STAFF, AND I AM NOT.

SO I HAD THIS PERSON PROVIDE US WITH THIS TABLE JUST COMPARING WHAT TRIP GENERATION LETTERS ARE IN COMPARISON IN COMPARISON WITH THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY. AND I BELIEVE AS YOU READ THIS, WHICH YOU CAN ALL HAVE A COPY OF YOU'LL, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO HAVE THE TRIP GENERATION LETTERS AS PART OF THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN DURING PUD ZONING IS BECAUSE, AGAIN, IT'S A CONCEPTUAL PLAN.

IT GOES WITH THE ZONING, BUT IT IS A MORE OF A IT'S DONE DURING PRELIMINARY PHASES.

IT IS MORE OF A QUICK ANALYSIS. I WANT TO STAY WITH WHAT SHE WROTE.

IT THE IMPACTS ARE FOR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IN THE EARLY STAGES.

AND SO THEN IT HELPS TO DETERMINE IF THE DEVELOPMENT IS LIKELY TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC IMPACTS.

DURING THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS, WHICH COMES AFTER YOUR ZONING FOR THE PDP, THEN THAT'S WHEN YOU GET THE DETAILED ANALYSIS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN YOU HAVE A DETAILED PLAN IN FRONT OF YOU.

AND SO THAT IS WHY STAFF MADE THIS RECOMMENDATION TODAY.

OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, WHEN YOU GO FOR A PUD, WHICH A LOT OF OUR DEVELOPMENTS ARE MAJOR MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENTS, OUR PUDS, WE REQUIRE PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

AGAIN A CONCEPTUAL PLAN. WHEN YOU GET THE ZONING, IT'S REALLY THE PUD AGREEMENT, WHICH IS YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE.

AND SO AT THAT TIME, THAT'S WHEN THAT TRAFFIC LETTER COULD BE A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, DOES NOT NEED TO NECESSARILY BE SUPPLIED FOR UP TO THREE YEARS WITH EXTENSIONS.

IT COULD BE FIVE YEARS. AND SO THE THE THINKING IS THAT THE REAL DEEP DIVE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY IS DONE AT THAT TIME.

IT CAN BE THREE YEARS AGAIN, FIVE YEARS OUT. NOW IT'S YOUR FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

IT HAS ALL OF THE DETAILS OF THE PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT HAS OCCURRED ADJACENT AND AROUND THAT DEVELOPMENT.

CORRECT. THAT PROPOSED PLAN OVER THREE YEARS TO FIVE YEARS.

AND SO, OF COURSE, THE IMPACTS OF THE THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN ARE GOING TO BE MUCH HIGHER AND THE MITIGATION PROBABLY MUCH STRONGER. THINK OF. I'M JUST GOING TO THROW OUT CHAPARRAL.

[01:00:04]

CORRECT. AND YET IT'S TAKEN A SERIES OF YEARS TO FINALIZE IT AND BE DEVELOPED.

THE IMPACTS ARE GREATER TODAY THAN PERHAPS WHEN IT WAS FIRST GIVEN ITS FIRST ZONING.

THAT MAY BE A BAD EXAMPLE, BUT THAT'S ABOUT THE BEST ONE I CAN I CAN BRING TO MIND.

SO THAT WAS THAT IS STAFF'S LOGICAL THINKING, BECAUSE DURING THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS WHEN YOU DO YOUR PROPORTIONATE, FAIR SHARE, YOU DO YOUR DA, YOU DO YOUR UTILITY AGREEMENTS.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE PUT IT. BUT AGAIN, THAT'S FOR DISCUSSION LATER ON.

I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR GIVING ME THIS MOMENT TO BRING US CENTERED.

AND THE NEXT TIME WE BRING SOME PHASE TWO UPDATES WHICH WILL BE NEXT MONTH WE WON'T HAVE TO HOPEFULLY DO THIS.

I JUST WANTED TO BRING YOU BACK TO WHY WE WERE DOING THIS.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR INDULGENCE. COUNCILMAN HAMMER HAS A QUESTION.

YES, SIR. YEAH. I'M SORRY. THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG ONE.

MY FIRST THING IS I REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS DONE AFTER OUR NEW CITY MANAGER TAKES THE SEAT.

I DON'T WANT TO. I DON'T LIKE A CHANGE BEFORE HE GETS IN.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIM HAVE SOME INPUT ON IT, BUT A FEW OF THE THINGS THAT I DON'T LIKE AND I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WITH PUDS.

IT SAYS ON THERE 500FT. WELL, WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES ON A CAR OR ON A ROAD, IT'S GOING TO AFFECT MORE THAN 500FT AWAY. SO I WAS I WAS SEEING IF FOR THAT WE CAN MAKE THAT 1000FT JUST FOR PUDS, BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THESE PUDS ARE PUT ON MILES AND MILES BACK INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO YOU'RE AFFECTING HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, BUT 500FT AWAY CAN BE TEN PEOPLE.

THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS. ON 170 2-5, IT SAYS YOU'RE CHANGING IT FROM EVERY APPLICATION TO AN APPLICATION. DOES THAT MEAN THEY CAN MAKE AN APPLICATION? IT CAN FAIL AND OR THEY CAN MAKE AN APPLICATION.

HAVE A HAVE A COMMUNITY MEETING. IT CAN FAIL, MAKE A NEW APPLICATION OR ADJUST THAT APPLICATION.

AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER COMMUNITY MEETING. EVERY EVERY APPLICATION MEANS IF THEY HAVE TO PUT IN A NEW CHANGE, THEY HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER MEETING. SO THAT'S ONE THING.

IF THEY'RE MAKING CHANGES, I THINK THE COMMUNITY AROUND THEM SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. I LIKE THE TWO YEARS OF DATE.

BUT WHAT I DID SEE IS, IS AFTER THE APPLICATION IS MADE, THE STAFF AND ALL THE WAY UP TO THE CITY MANAGER CAN APPROVE.

EVEN THE MOST DRASTIC OF CHANGES AND NOT COUNSEL.

SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I DID NOT LIKE. I WANT TO TELL YOU, IT'S 172.

TWO. FOUR IS THE PAGE. OKAY. IT'S SAYING THE APPLICANT CAN COMPLETELY MODIFY WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF COUNSEL.

SO I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT AS WELL. I THINK THAT NEEDS TO GO.

AND THE TRAFFIC STUDY, I THINK, IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR APPLICATION IN A YOUR YOUR LETTER OF TRAFFIC ONLY GIVES YOU SAY, IF THERE'S 100 HOUSES, IT TELLS YOU THERE'S THIS MANY HOUSES, THIS MANY CARS CAN GO, THEN THE CITY HAS TO GO AND RESEARCH HOW MANY CARS ARE GOING TO PASS ALL THESE HOUSES.

THAT TRAFFIC STUDY IS WHAT'S KEEPING PEOPLE IN CHECK WHEN THEY'RE MAKING THEIR APPLICATION.

NOW THEY CAN GO ALL THE WAY TO ZONING CHANGES WITHOUT A TRAFFIC STUDY, ALL YOU'RE SEEING IS 100 CARS ARE GOING TO BE AT THIS DEVELOPMENT.

YOU'RE NOT SEEING A TRAFFIC STUDY SAYING 100 CARS ARE GOING TO PASS 500 HOMES ON A SINGLE STREET.

SO I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP THE TRAFFIC STUDY WHERE IT IS, BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF KEEPING THE THE PUDS IN CHECK.

I JUST, I, I FEEL RIGHT NOW THE RESIDENTIAL'S KIND OF A TOUGH TOPIC BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR IT.

AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE OUR CITY MANAGER TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS OR OUR NEW CITY MANAGER TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD ON IT, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT JUST DON'T PASS THE TEST WITH ME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFE.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. QUESTION REGARDING THE REASONING BEHIND THE TITLE OPINION ON PAGE 41.

41. YES, SIR. I'M GETTING THERE TOO.

THIS WAS. THIS WAS SUGGESTED, RECOMMENDED BY OUR STAFF WHO DEAL WITH A LOT OF PLANTS.

[01:05:07]

THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE A LITTLE STRONG, BUT THIS WAS RECOMMENDED BY OUR STAFF.

AND AGAIN, ALL OF THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS WERE INVOLVED.

JUST CURIOUS, WHAT'S THE REASONING BEHIND WHAT'S THE REASONING BEHIND IT? I HEARD MADAM ATTORNEY SAY SOMETHING. OH, IT'S NOT ONLY AN ATTORNEY.

I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES THE ATTORNEY IS INVOLVED. THE ATTORNEY WILL PROVIDE IT. BUT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF SHOWING THAT THE PERSON HAS TITLE.

IT'S JUST LIKE IF YOU WERE BUYING A HOME, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PERSON YOU'RE DEALING WITH HAS HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT TO THE HOME HERE.

ANYBODY THAT WE'RE RECORDING THESE DOCUMENTS, WE'VE GOT PEOPLE SIGNING OFF. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CORRECT PEOPLE ARE SIGNING OFF AND HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THIS BEFORE WE START RECORDING PLATS OR AGREEMENTS RELATED TO IT.

I GUESS, YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY A LOT OF TIMES A DEVELOPER HAS CONTROL OF THE OF THE PROPERTY, BUT THEY ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE IT CLOSED. AND A LOT OF THIS WORK IS DONE.

AND THEY WON'T CLOSE UNTIL THEY GET ALL THEIR APPROVALS.

SO IS THIS JUST A PROCESS. IS THIS GOING TO FORCE PEOPLE TO CLOSE ON THE LAND.

THIS IS A FINAL PLAN. IT'S FINAL. SO YOU WOULD BE AT FINAL PLAT.

YOU WILL BE THE OWNER. YOU'LL BE CLOSED BY THEN.

YES. BUT I AGREE THAT THE THE THE LINE ATTORNEY AT LAW IS A LITTLE STRICTER THAN NECESSARY.

DOESN'T ONLY SAY IT SAYS AN ATTORNEY AT LAW, THEN THERE IS OR A PROPERTY INFORMATION REPORT THAT SHOWS THAT RECORD TITLE TO THE LAND.

SO YOU CAN HAVE A TITLE COMPANY SUBMIT A REPORT TO US THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHO OWNS IT.

OR YOU CAN HAVE YOUR ATTORNEY SUBMIT A REPORT THAT SAYS, HEY, ON MY LICENSE, I'M SEEING IT, BUT IT DOESN'T REQUIRE JUST AN ATTORNEY. THANK YOU.

AND THEN COMMENT ON THE THE TRAFFIC STUDY. YOU KNOW, IF A TRAFFIC STUDY IS DONE FOR A PROJECT THAT SHOULD SURVIVE THAT PROJECT, WHETHER IT'S BUILT ONE YEAR OR FIVE YEARS, AND ANY FUTURE PROJECTS THAT COME THAT TRAFFIC REPORT FROM A NEIGHBORING PROPERTY SHOULD ALREADY BE CONSIDERED.

SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ANOTHER TRAFFIC STUDY WOULD HAVE TO BE REQUESTED FOR A FINAL PLAT APPROVAL.

WELL, AGAIN, THE THAT'S WHY WE'RE STATING A TRIP GENERATION LETTER IS FOR THE THE PROPOSED.

AND THEN THE FINAL PLAN IS WHEN YOU DO THE FINAL TRAFFIC STUDY.

RIGHT. BECAUSE THEN AT THAT POINT YOU'RE READY TO DEVELOP.

AND AT THAT POINT WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR FS AND YOUR DA AND ALL OF THE YOUR AGREEMENTS COME INTO PLAY AT THAT POINT.

THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. RIGHT. SO THAT'S WHEN THE FULL TRAFFIC ANALYSIS WOULD BE DONE.

THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY. AND THAT WILL THEN.

YES. STAY WITH THE WITH THE PROJECT THROUGH ITS LIFE.

BUT IF YOU. THAT'S THAT'S I GUESS I GUESS STAFF'S OPINION.

I GUESS THERE'S SOME CONCERN THAT YOU KNOW FROM THE TRIP GENERATION LETTER, ALL THIS MONEY SPENT ON DESIGN ENGINEERING PLANS AND THEN STAFF SAYS TOO MUCH TRAFFIC AT THIS POINT. THIS CAN'T BE BUILT. THEN WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE HAVE TO MODIFY THEIR, THEIR, THEIR PLANS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NEW INFORMATION.

SO IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT PROCESS TO GET PROJECTS COMPLETED AND PALM BAY COMMERCIAL PUDS.

YOU KNOW, WE WANT COMMERCIAL. THIS JUST SEEMS LIKE IT MAKES IT HARDER FOR THAT COMMERCIAL TO HAPPEN.

SO. OH, OKAY. I MEAN, WE CAN CHANGE IT. WE CAN CHANGE IT BACK.

THE THE THE BIG. HERE'S THE CONSIDERATION THAT STAFF APPLIED TO THIS.

AND AND AGAIN, IF COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY IS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS WE HAVE NO NO PROBLEM BRINGING IT BACK TO TRAFFIC.

TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY AT THE PDP. HOWEVER, PRIOR TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE, WHEN YOU WENT FOR A PUD ZONING AND YOU HAD A PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN, YOU ONLY RECEIVED A TEMPORARY ZONING AND WITHIN ONE YEAR YOU HAD TO HAVE YOUR FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUBMITTED. SO TYPICALLY YOU WERE CONSTANTLY SEEING A PDP AND AN FDP COMING IN TOGETHER.

RIGHT. AND AT THAT POINT, YOU HAD YOUR FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

AND THAT'S WE DID THE WHOLE TRIP, YOU KNOW, IMPACT ANALYSIS BECAUSE IT WAS COMING IN TOGETHER PRETTY MUCH IS ONE BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T EVEN HAVE YOUR ZONING FINALIZED AT PDP. WE'VE CHANGED THAT TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH A LOT MORE OF THE PLANNING STANDARDS AND WHAT HAPPENS IN OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND MUNICIPALITIES WHERE YOU HAVE A CONCEPTUAL PLAN, A PDP AS PART OF YOUR PUD ZONING AND YOU GET YOUR ZONING,

[01:10:02]

SO IT HAS TO BE VERY SIMILAR. HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, MARKETS CHANGE, MARKETS FALL, INVESTORS FLY THE COOP, YOU KNOW. SO THIS GIVES INDIVIDUALS A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO COME UP WITH THEIR FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

THAT WAS THE THINKING THAT IS MORE STANDARD AND IN THE PLANNING PROFESSION.

HOWEVER, AGAIN IF THE COUNCIL IS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS WE'LL CHANGE IT BACK.

BUT I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW STAFF'S THINKING ON THIS.

DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR QUESTION, SIR? WHAT IS THE ALL WEATHER ROADWAY? WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF ALL WEATHER UNDER? YOU'RE THROWING ME LOOPS HERE.

I'M SORRY. AND I'VE LOST MY MY PEN. I'M SORRY.

GO AHEAD. ALL WEATHER. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT WOULD BE.

I'M GOING BACK TO IT. ARE WE IN DEFINITIONS NOW? DID WE JUMP TO DEFINITIONS? 72 058. UNDER MODEL.

YEAH. MODEL HOMES. 172 058. 170 258. YOU SAID, SIR.

IS THIS A PAGE NUMBER? YEAH. PAGE 54.

THE THE LANGUAGE CHANGE FROM STABILIZED ROAD TO AN ALL WEATHER ROADWAY.

I DON'T SEE THAT CHANGE IN MY WHAT I HAVE. PAGE 54.

54. IT WAS ALREADY ALL WEATHER. THEY JUST PUT A DASH IN.

YEAH. OKAY. I'M NOT FINDING IT, SIR. AND I'M SO SORRY.

IT'S UNDER THE MODEL, HOMES. ALL. IT WAS A STABILIZED ALL WEATHER, AND THE CHANGE IS ALL HYPHEN WEATHER.

OKAY. ROADWAY IS PROVIDED FOR FIRE APPARATUS TO ACCESS ALL STRUCTURES PROPOSED FOR PERMITTING.

OKAY. OKAY, MAYOR. THANK YOU. SO THANK YOU, MA'AM.

COUNCILMAN HAMMER HAD HAD A FEW POINTS. THE VERY FIRST THING, AND I, I THINK COUNCIL.

AND I'M. I'M IN AGREEMENT. THE TRIP LETTER. I PREFER THE TRAFFIC STUDY ON BOTH ENDS.

OKAY. RIGHT. AND YOU USED A GREAT EXAMPLE BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW 2 OR 3 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD HOW ALL THAT FEED ALL THOSE FEEDER ROADS AND ALL THOSE CONNECTING ROADS ARE GOING TO GROW WITHIN OUR CITY.

SO I'D RATHER HAVE A TRAFFIC STUDY AT THE BEGINNING AND THEN TO CONCLUDE THAT FINALIZED.

I DON'T AGREE WITH WITH JUST THE LETTER THAT THAT'S MY.

SO I'M I'M IN I'M JOINING COUNCIL IN THAT AS WELL.

COUNCILMAN HAMMER ALSO DISCUSSED ABOUT 1000FT PUD.

AND I KNOW THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY INCREASING THAT RADIUS TO 750.

HITTING, YOU KNOW, HITTING A SWEET SPOT IN IN IN THAT DISCUSSION.

AND NOT JUST FOR PUDS. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT CITYWIDE.

SO WHERE ARE WE WITH THAT DISCUSSION? STAFF RECOMMEND THAT WE STAY WITH 500.

THERE IS A COST. SO AGAIN THERE IS A COST TO EXPANDING THESE CIRCLES OF OF NOTIFICATION. I JUST WANT YOU ALL TO BE AWARE OF THAT.

AND THE STANDARD IS 500. I'M NOT SURE IF OUR NOTE WE HAVE A NOTICING ORDINANCE.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD BE IN DISCORD WITH IT IF WE INCREASE THE 500 RADIUS.

MISS FRAZIER, YOU'RE SPOT ON WITH THAT, BECAUSE I.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE COST, I KNOW THERE WAS LEGISLATION RIGHT TO TO DO THIS ONLINE.

AND THE THE COST WOULD. YOU KNOW, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO JOIN BREVARD COUNTY, I THINK WAS THE LAST DISCUSSION WITH THAT.

MAYBE THE CLERK CAN WEIGH IN ON THAT FOR ONE SECOND.

MADAM. CLERK. SORRY, MAYOR, WE WERE JUST SPEAKING ABOUT.

THE 500 FOOT RADIUS IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CODE UNDER THE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES UNDER CHAPTER 51.

RIGHT. AND SO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS JOINING THE COUNTY IN THOSE ANNOUNCEMENTS IS THAT HAS THAT EVER BEEN WORKED OUT? I APOLOGIZE. YES, WE WERE COORDINATING WITH THEM.

IT WOULD NOT BE IT WOULDN'T IT WOULDN'T BE A GREAT OPTION FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY ONLY BECAUSE OF OUR THE MAP REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE WHEN WE

[01:15:03]

WE COULDN'T USE THAT OPTION TO REDUCE THE COST.

THAT'S A DIFFERENT TYPE OF NOTICE, DIFFERENT TYPES.

YEAH, THAT'S THE NEWSPAPER. NOTICE THE 500 OR WE'RE SENDING OUT WOULD BE THE NOTICES THAT WE MAIL OUT.

CORRECT. SO WE COULDN'T WE COULDN'T DO SOMETHING ONLINE OURSELVES.

NO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT THAT'S THAT'S THE REASON.

DOESN'T THE DEVELOPER MAIL OUT THE NOTICES? YES.

YES. THAT'S A DEVELOPER COST. IT'S NOT ON US.

YES. SO WE CAN REQUIRE. WE COULD. OKAY. YEAH.

SO COUNCILMAN A HAMMER. I, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE THE SWEET SPOT OF 750, RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW HOW COUNCIL FEELS. I KNOW THAT WE.

I ATTEMPTED TO DO THIS IN THE PAST. INCREASE THAT RADIUS.

AND I'M I'M ENCOURAGED THAT YOU WANT TO DO IT AS WELL.

I DO, BUT I THINK THE SWEET SPOT WOULD BE TO, TO START, YOU KNOW, AT THE 750.

BUT I WOULD NEED COUNCIL TO, TO SAY, YOU KNOW, GET A CONSENSUS SO THAT THAT STAFF CAN MOVE FORWARD IN THAT.

AND I'M, I'M, I'M ALL FOR DOING THIS ONLY FOR PUDS BECAUSE I THINK WITH THE ENHANCED IMPACT, WE SHOULD IMPACT THE RATE OR ENHANCE THE RADIUS.

WELL, I THINK IF YOU WANT TO DO IT FOR EVERYTHING, I'LL BACK THAT BECAUSE I THINK COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY TO OUR PEOPLE IS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE PROVIDING. SO IF WE CAN GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE TRANSPARENCY ON WHAT WE'RE DOING AND NOT A LOT OF TIMES WHEN PEOPLE GET CAUGHT BY SURPRISE, THE WORST THING THEY COULD POSSIBLY COME UP WITH IS WHAT WE'RE DOING.

THANK YOU. SO I, I THE MORE WE CAN HELP OUT, THE BETTER IS WHAT I THINK.

THANK YOU. SIR. COUNCILMAN JOHNSON. MAYOR. I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF THE 750 FOR EVERYTHING.

LIKE ORIGINALLY. YOU REMEMBER THE OUR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN MEETINGS WERE ORIGINALLY JUST FOR PUDS, AND THEN WE MADE IT, YOU KNOW, A BLANKET FOR EVERYTHING.

SO I'LL BE FINE WITH DOING THE SAME WITH THE 750.

AWESOME. SO I THINK WE HAVE CONSENSUS THERE. AND THEN PUTTING BACK IN THE TRAFFIC STUDY.

SO THAT IS THE SWEET SPOT. SO THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS.

I'M GOING TO OPEN UP TO THE PUBLIC OR ARE WE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD? MATT, WERE YOU GOING TO SAY SOMETHING, MA'AM? MADAM ATTORNEY? NO. SO WE'RE JUST MAKING NOTES BECAUSE WE'RE ADDRESSING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

BUT YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE CHANGES IN THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE WHICH I WILL, THAT IF WE MAKE THIS CHANGE THAT WE ALSO CHANGE THE ORDINANCE.

OTHER ORDINANCES THAT ARE WOULD BE IMPLICATED BY IT.

THANK YOU MA'AM. MR. MAYOR, I'M SORRY. YES. BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I'M SORRY, COUNCILMAN HAMMER, YOU HAD MENTIONED SEVERAL THINGS RATHER QUICKLY, AND I'M SLOW.

SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE, YOU KNOW, ALLOW ME. I KNOW THE CLERK HAS THE MEETING MINUTES, BUT THIS WOULD VERY MUCH HELP ME.

I THINK YOU WERE ALLUDING TO UNDER CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLANS.

THE APPLICABILITY, SIR, WHERE IT SAYS INSTEAD OF EVERY APPLICATION.

SO IT'S FOR A DEVELOPMENT AND WE MADE THAT CHANGE ONLY BECAUSE WE WE AREN'T REQUIRING YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY A PROJECT WILL COME IN AND THEY'LL HAVE THEY HAVE TO HAVE AN APPLICATION FOR THEIR LAND USE CHANGE AN APPLICATION FOR THEIR ZONING, CHANGE AN APPLICATION FOR THEIR CONDITIONAL USE.

I'M JUST MAKING THAT UP. BUT THAT COULD BE THAT WE DON'T NEED NOR REQUIRE A CP FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE APPLICATIONS.

IT'S THE SAME PROJECT. DO YOU HEAR WHAT I'M SAYING? SO WE'RE MAKING IT EASIER THAT THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE HEAR THE SAME PROJECT NOW? YES. YOU'RE CORRECT. IF THAT PROJECT CHANGES, THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO ANOTHER CP.

BUT WE WE ONLY WANTED THEM TO HAVE TO DO ONE CP FOR ONE PROJECT.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE WORDED IT THAT WAY. DOES THAT DOES THAT HELP CLARIFY IT, OR WOULD YOU LIKE US TO CHANGE? SEE, HOW I LOOK AT IT IS IF THEY HAVE THEIR CP AND THEY HAVE ONE ENTRANCE.

OKAY. SO YOU HAVE ONE HOMEOWNER THAT'S LIKE, OKAY, I'M GOING TO HAVE 400 VEHICLES FLASHING THEIR HEADLIGHTS IN THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE EVERY NIGHT. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU GO TO YOUR CP AND YOU SEE THAT AND IT COMES TO THEY THEY PUT IN THE APPLICATION AND GUESS WHAT? IT DIDN'T PASS BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT.

NOW THEY TAKE THAT APPLICATION BACK AND THEY HAVE A SECOND ENTRANCE.

SO NOW YOU HAVE TWO HOUSES THAT ARE GETTING LIGHTS IN THEIR HOUSE.

WELL GUESS WHAT? EVEN THOUGH OUR ORDINANCE SAYS FOR EVERY APPLICATION HAS TO HAVE A CP WITH THIS,

[01:20:04]

SO NOW YOU'RE MAKING CHANGES TO AN APPLICATION TO A WHOLE PROJECT WITHOUT LETTING THE WHOLE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND I THINK IT SHOULD STAY EVERY APPLICATION.

AND THAT'S THE ONLY FAIR THING TO DO. THAT'S JUST HOW I FEEL.

OKAY. WHETHER THEY DO OR NOT. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

I BELIEVE YOU HAD ANOTHER. YOU HAD ANOTHER ONE BESIDES THE BOUNDARY.

IT APPEARS TO ME YOU HAD A THREE. YEAH. THERE WAS 172 DASH 24.

THE PAY. IS THAT A PAGE NUMBER, SIR? THAT'S THE THAT'S THE THAT'S THE PROPOSED NUMBER ON THERE.

LET ME SEE. WHAT. OH. TWO. FOUR. I'M ALMOST THERE.

THAT'S CONDITIONAL USES. YES. IN THAT IT SAYS THAT THE APPLICANT CAN MAKE EVEN THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AT ALL.

THERE'S NO LIMIT ON CHANGES FOR THEM TO MAKE TO THE CONDITIONAL USE, AND IT CAN BE APPROVED BY STAFF AND NOT BY COUNCIL.

AND I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S DONE IN THE PUBLIC.

SO I WOULD VERY MUCH AGREE WITH YOU. COULD YOU PLEASE.

I'LL HAVE TO. I'M GETTING TO IT NOW. I'M SORRY.

I MEAN, THAT'S TYPICALLY NOT THE WAY THAT THAT WE OPERATE, BUT IF IT'S WORDED SUCH THAT YOU BELIEVE SO, THEN WE NEED TO BE A LOT MORE CLEAR HERE.

AM I PASSIONATE? FOR SOME REASON, IT MUST HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT BECAUSE I DON'T SEE IT IN RED RIGHT NOW.

BUT IT WAS IN RED ON THE ORIGINAL ONE AND IT HAD THE APPLICATION.

SEEING IT NOW. IT WAS TALKING ABOUT THE MODIFICATION OF IT. WAS THAT PUD? YES. OKAY. SO IT WASN'T. THE CONDITIONAL USE WAS UNDER POSSIBLY THE PUD. AND WE DO ALLOW THAT IF THEY ARE IN SUBSTANTIAL CONFORMANCE WITH THE FD TO THE PDP, THEN WE ALLOW SOME OF THOSE CHANGES TO OCCUR.

IN ADDITION, THE PUD OR THE PDP ITSELF, THERE'S THERE'S A WHOLE LIST OF ITEMS THAT CAN BE MODIFIED, LIKE THEY CAN CHANGE A LOT LINE OVER, OR THEY CAN GIVE ME A GOOD EXAMPLE.

THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT'S COMING TO MIND RIGHT NOW, ARE ADDING PARKING SPACES OR SOMETHING TO THAT.

THEY CANNOT INCREASE DENSITY OR INTENSITY. THEY CANNOT INCREASE HEIGHT.

THERE'S MANY THINGS THAT THEY CANNOT DO BEFORE IT COMES BACK TO OUR DECISION MAKING BODIES.

SO 170 2-02 FOR SUBSECTION G, THE CONDITIONAL USE SHALL COMMENCE WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE DATE THAT THE CONDITIONAL USE IS GRANTED, AS EVIDENCED BY ISSUANCE OF SITE PLAN APPROVAL, A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION, OR BUSINESS TAX RECEIPT.

ONE ADMINISTRATIVE EXTENSION OF ONE YEAR MAY BE APPROVED BY THE CITY MANAGER DESIGNEE FOLLOWING A WRITTEN REQUEST BY THE APPLICANT WITHIN 60 DAYS. OKAY, SO THESE ARE CHANGES WHERE I WAS READING.

YOU'RE ALLOWED TO CHANGE IT ONCE YOU'RE DOING YOUR EXTENSION.

NOT NOT CHANGES. THIS IS JUST STATING THAT, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS.

YOUR CONDITIONAL USE HAS TO BE APPLIED WITHIN TWO YEARS FROM YOU ALL GRANTING THEM PERMISSION TO DO THAT CONDITIONAL USE.

SO THEY AND IT'S EVIDENCED BY A SITE PLAN APPROVAL OR A CO.

BUT IF YOU HAVE SOME REASON WHY YOU HAVEN'T ATTAINED THAT, THEN WE CAN GRANT YOU A ONE YEAR EXTENSION.

NOW, THIS ISN'T A NEW CHANGE. THIS IS ALREADY IN THE CODE.

I'M GOING TO FIND WHERE IT WAS, BUT IT WAS TOUCHING THAT PLUS PLUS COUNCIL HAVING TO REQUIRE IT WAS TAKEN OUT.

PLEASE, SIR, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE VERY CLEAR AND CONSISTENT.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS MAY I THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. SO NOW I'M GOING TO ASK THE AUDIENCE ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM.

PLEASE STEP FORWARD. ONE AND TWO. BUT THIS ONE.

THIS ONE. BILL BATTEN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST.

[01:25:09]

WE'RE NOW REVIEWING IT. AND TO BE HONEST, THIS IS THE MOST IN-DEPTH THAT I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD A COUNCIL DISCUSS IT WITH THE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT.

SO I'M FIRST I'M COMMENDING YOU ON THAT. ON THE TRAFFIC STUDY.

I'M GOING TO BUILD A SCENARIO FOR YOU. RIGHT.

WE HAVE A LOCAL ROAD HERE IN PALM BAY. IT'S CALLED GAYNOR.

IT'S CALLED GAYNOR. IT WAS IT WAS ZONED FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL OR ALL OF THE ROAD WAS RURAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AT THE TIME. SO MINIMAL TRAFFIC WAS GOING TO BE ON THAT ROAD.

IT'S JUST A LOCAL ROAD. THEN WE HAD A PUD COME IN AND WE PUT THE ENTIRE PUD.

WE TOOK THE RURAL RESIDENTIAL, WE CONVERTED IT TO A PUD.

WE PUT ALL THAT RESIDUE. WE PUT ALL THAT RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC ONTO A LOCAL ROAD.

THAT MADE IT EVEN WORSE. RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING.

YEARS AND YEARS LATER, WE HAVE ANOTHER PUD BEING BUILT ON THE SAME ROAD.

AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, ALONG WITH ALL THOSE RESIDENTS COMING ONTO IT, IT IS NOW THE SHORTCUT.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO DOWN YOUR COLLECTOR ROADS THAT ARE AVOIDING YOUR COLLECTOR ROADS BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY WELL TRAVELED.

YOU'VE NOW ROUTED ALL OF YOUR TRAFFIC ONTO THE LOCAL ROAD OF GAYNOR ROAD.

AND THE REASON WHY I'M BRINGING THIS UP IS BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC STUDY ONLY SHOWED 40 RESIDENTS ON THE TRAFFIC, AND HERE WAS YOUR LOW LEVEL OF SERVICE WAS WAY DOWN HERE.

LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR US, FOR POOR FARMERS THAT LIVED OUT THERE, FOR THE 40 OF US.

THAT'S WHAT THE TRAFFIC WAS. NOW IT'S THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES A DAY WHICH ORIGINALLY STARTED ON ON A TRAFFIC OF 40 RESIDENTS. SO THAT'S WHY I THINK THIS TRAFFIC STUDY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT A LITTLE BIT.

NOW, I THINK I'M NOT AGAINST THE GROWTH. WELL, I AM AGAINST THE GROWTH, BUT I WANT SMART GROWTH.

AND THIS IS A CASE WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR COLLECTOR ROADS OR YOUR OR YOUR ARTILLERY OR ARTERY ROADS, AND INSTEAD YOU'RE ROUTING ALL OF YOUR TRAFFIC DOWN YOUR LOCAL ROAD.

AND SO PRIOR PLANNING PREVENTS PISS POOR PERFORMANCE.

BUT THEY SAID, YEAH, BUT WHEN WE SUBMITTED THE PLAN, THERE WAS ONLY 40 RESIDENTS ON THERE.

SO IT WASN'T GOING TO BE AN IMPACT, BUT IT DID TURN INTO ONE.

BUT LIKE I SAY, I'M PLEASED TO SEE HOW YOU'RE ACTUALLY PAYING CLOSER ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN IN THE REVIEW.

EVEN THOUGH SOME OF US RESIDENTS SPENT HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS GOING THROUGH WITH YOUR STAFF TRYING TO REVIEW THIS STUFF.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM.

PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

RUTH CALDWELL, 935 DOUGLAS STREET SOUTHEAST. I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS ABOUT ONE AND TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

REASON I ASKED. SO JUST ONE RIGHT NOW. OKAY. SO I'LL STEP DOWN FOR I WANT TO GO WITH NUMBER TWO BECAUSE SHE WAS PRESENTING FOR ONE AND TWO.

THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. YEAH. NO, WE'RE JUST WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING.

NUMBER ONE IS OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON PUBLIC HEARING? ITEM NUMBER ONE. SEEING NONE, I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A MOTION.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL OUR CITY MANAGER CAN ADDRESS IT.

AND WE CAN GET A BETTER GRASP ON IT. I FOUND THE THE THE LINE ITEM I WAS SPEAKING OF, BUT IF WE CAN GET IT TABLED FOR A LATER DISCUSSION, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN.

DO YOU HAVE A DATE? DO YOU HAVE A DATE THAT YOU WANT TO? I WOULD SAY LONG ENOUGH FOR OUR CITY MANAGER TO LOOK OVER IT.

SECOND, I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN HAMMER. SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.

COUNCILMAN. I'VE GOT HOLD ON A SECOND. I'VE GOT THE CITY CLERK AND THEN THE CITY ATTORNEY.

NEED A DATE? MADAM? MADAM. CLERK. YES, SIR. I KNOW YOU WANT TO TABLE IT, BUT IT MUST BE TABLED TO A DATE.

CERTAIN. COPY THAT. SO THE MOTION. I GOT A MOTION.

AND A SECOND SO FAR. MADAM. MADAM. ATTORNEY. YES.

YOU CAN CLEAR MINE. THE SAME ISSUE YOU. IF YOU'RE GOING TO TABLE IT, YOU NEED A DATE.

CERTAIN? HE'S GOING TO BE HERE MAY 1ST. ARE WE LOOKING TO DO IT? MAY 17TH. ARE WE LOOKING TO DO IT AFTER THE JUNE BREAK?

[01:30:03]

OKAY, SO RIGHT NOW, THE MOTION DOESN'T HAVE A DATE.

SO IN ORDER TO HAVE A DATE, I NEEDED I'D LIKE A I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS UNTIL THE MAY 15TH.

WELL, HOLD ON A SECOND. I'VE GOT A MOTION ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW.

IS THE SECOND. I'LL PULL MY SECOND. OKAY. THANK YOU.

OKAY, SO THAT MOTION DIES. OH, I NEED A MOTION.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE MAY 15TH COUNCIL MEETING.

SECOND, I GOT A MOTION TO TABLE TO MAY 15TH, MEANING THAT'LL BE THE FIRST HEARING.

THAT MEANS THE SECOND HEARING WILL BE IN JULY.

SO I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN HAMMETT, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN? YES, SIR. ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. PASSES FOUR ZERO. WE'RE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER TWO.

IT'S MOVING TO MAY 15TH. WE'RE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER TWO.

MADAM SMITH, ORDINANCE 2025 DASH 17, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, TITLE 17.

LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, CHAPTER 171 DEFINITIONS, ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS BY MODIFYING LANGUAGE CONTAINED THEREIN.

PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT.

HEREWITH. PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

CODE OF ORDINANCES PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY CLAUSE.

PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU. MA'AM, I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK MR. MORGAN TO PRESENT THIS CASE. YES. I THINK LISA FRAZIER ALREADY GAVE AN OVERVIEW OF THIS ITEM, BUT SHE WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK? RUTH KOPPEL, 935 DOUGLAS STREET, SOUTHEAST PALM BAY UP FOR THIS ITEM.

THERE IS AN EXAMPLE. I THINK IT'S FOR THIS ITEM.

I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE WAS GOING ON, BUT FOR THIS EXAMPLE, THERE IS AN EXAMPLE IN CROWN SQUARE.

AT THE POINT WHEN THAT WAS PUT FORTH TO COUNCIL, THERE WAS ONLY EITHER 3 OR 4 BUILDINGS THAT WERE APPROVED. THERE ARE SIX BUILDINGS THERE NOW WITHOUT COUNCIL APPROVAL, WITHOUT COMING HERE PUBLIC.

NOTHING. AND THAT IS THE EYESORE THAT IS PART OF MALABAR ROAD RIGHT NOW THAT NO RETAIL HAPPENED.

SO THERE WAS PROMISES MADE, PROMISES FAILED RIGHT THERE WITH WHOEVER THE DEVELOPER WAS.

AND WHATEVER IT IS, YOU CANNOT GET ANY RETAIL IN THAT SPACE FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT I DON'T I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY UPDATES ON THIS FROM ANYBODY ON THE COUNCIL AS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW OR AT LEAST PUT IN THESE ORDINANCE CHANGES TO SAY IF YOU MAKE A CHANGE, YOU GOT TO COME BACK HERE, BECAUSE THAT CONTRIBUTED TO ALL THE TRAFFIC THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY ON MALABAR ROAD.

A LOT OF THOSE BUILDINGS THAT WERE ONLY ZONED FOR THAT AREA AND FOR THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON THAT IMPACT STUDY FOR THE TRAFFIC THAT WAS PART OF THOSE BUILDINGS. NOW, NOW IT'S DOUBLED. SO WE HAVE A LOT MORE TRAFFIC THAN THAT WAS APPROVED AT THAT TIME.

THANK YOU. MR. MORTON? YES. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW REALLY HOW TO ANSWER THAT. THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IS REALLY ABOUT ADDING DEFINITIONS AS OUR AS OUR PLANT GROWTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR INDICATED, AS WELL AS MODIFYING SOME DEFINITIONS.

SO IT THE PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE CLARITY FOR CODE INTERPRETATION.

AND I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT WOULD RELATE TO A PARTICULAR PAST ITEM.

UNDERSTOOD. HER QUESTION IS MORE ABOUT THE APARTMENT WHERE SEVEN BREW IS AND THE ONE ACRE ON THE SIDE WITHOUT DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFE, I GUESS I'D JUST LIKE SOME DISCUSSION ON THE DEFINITION. FILL THE PLACEMENT OF ANY SOIL OR OTHER SOLID MATERIAL, EITHER ORGANIC OR INORGANIC, WHICH SHE FELL ON A NATURAL GROUND SURFACE OR AN EXCAVATION IN AN EFFORT TO RAISE THE A16 GRADE.

IF YOU'RE EXCAVATING, YOU'RE GOING DOWN. SO JUST LIKE TO SEE IF THAT'S THE INTENT OF WHAT THAT DEFINITION IS SUPPOSED TO BE.

[01:35:14]

AND THIS IS GOING A LITTLE FURTHER THAN THAT STATING MAINLY I, I FEEL GETTING INTO THE DEFINITION OF SOIL.

ON A NATURAL GROUND SURFACE OR AN EXCAVATION, AN EFFORT TO RAISE THE EXISTING GRADE.

THAT'S APPROPRIATE. BUT PHIL CAN BE AND USUALLY IS INORGANIC AND NOT ORGANIC, BUT I MEAN, IT CAN BE A MIXTURE, AS WE ALL KNOW. SO YEAH, IT'S IT'S IT'S REACHING THE HEIGHT OF IT IS DO YOU HAVE A PREFERRED LANGUAGE THAT YOU YOU'D LIKE TO ADD OR. I MEAN, TYPICALLY I DON'T THINK MY OPINION OF ORGANIC ISN'T PHIL RIGHT? I MEAN THAT COULD BE MULCH AND TREES AND I HEAR YOU OTHER OTHER THINGS.

I MEAN, IF WE HAD A REQUIREMENT WHERE, SAY, SOMEBODY WAS REQUIRED TO PUT A BERM ON A PROJECT WITH PHIL AND IT WAS ORGANIC, EVENTUALLY THAT BERM WOULD DETERIORATE DOWN AND WOULDN'T SERVE THE PURPOSE OF THAT BERM ANY FURTHER.

SO HOWEVER, YOU HAVE TO PLANT A BERM, YOU MAY WANT SOME ORGANIC.

PHIL, IT'S A THOUGHT, BUT I CAN REMOVE IT IF YOU'D PREFER, SIR.

OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. WELL, WHAT'S THE POINT OF IN CREATING A BERM IF IT'S GOING TO DISINTEGRATE? RIGHT? THAT'S MY MY TAKE ON THAT. AND I, I SEE COUNCIL SHAKING THEIR HEAD.

WHAT'S THE POINT? OKAY, THEN WHAT? WHAT'S THE COST OF IT? RIGHT. YOU'RE GOING TO SAVE MONEY ON. ON WHAT END? RIGHT. TO TO DO THAT. SO. DULY NOTED. COPY THAT.

ANYTHING ELSE? COUNCIL? OKAY. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A MOTION.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CHANGE TO THE FIELD DEFINITION.

WELL, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SECOND HEARING SO IT WILL COME BACK WITH THE CHANGE.

IS THAT CORRECT? BUT IT'LL GIVE THEM THE PATHWAY TO DO THAT NOW.

OKAY. IF THEY DON'T, MA'AM. WELL, IF YOU APPROVE IT AS IS, IT'S GOING TO COME BACK AS IS IF YOU WANT THE FIELD NOT TO BE THERE.

THE MOTION THAT COUNCILMAN HAMMER MADE IS THE APPROPRIATE MOTION.

OKAY. SO IT'LL COME BACK WITH THE AMENDMENT. YES.

YOU TELL HER YOU DON'T WANT THE FIELD. THAT CHANGE WON'T BE IN THE SECOND READING.

OKAY. THE SECOND. I GOT A SECOND. I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN HAMMER.

SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFEE. NO DISCUSSION.

ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. PASSES FOUR ZERO.

WE'RE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER THREE. MADAM SMITH.

RESOLUTION 2025 DASH 17. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, IDENTIFYING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE CITY, WHICH MAY BE USED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAMS IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

PROVIDING A SURPLUS PROPERTY DETERMINATION AND FOR THE DISPOSITION OF SAID PROPERTY FOR THE BENEFIT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF RESOLUTIONS OR PARTS OF RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT HEREWITH.

PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY CLAUSE. PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MR. MORGAN. YES. DEPUTY CITY MANAGER JOAN BROWN WILL GIVE AN OVERVIEW.

THANK YOU, MADAM BROWN. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THIS IS A HOUSEKEEPING ITEM.

AS PART OF OUR REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE FLORIDA STATUTE, SECTION 166, WHERE EVERY THREE YEARS, WE BRING FORTH A LIST OF PROPERTIES THAT THE CITY STAFF HAS DEEMED AS SURPLUS AND NOT REQUIRED FOR FUTURE CITY USE.

AND THIS PARTICULAR EXHIBIT INCLUDES 11 PARCELS AND, FOR TRANSPARENCY, SEE.

EIGHT OF THOSE PARCELS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DESIGNATED THROUGH A RESOLUTION HISTORICALLY.

TWO WERE PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT TO COUNCIL WITH THE INTENT TO DESIGNATE IN COUNCIL AT THAT TIME, AND THAT WAS MARCH 7TH, 2024. APPROVED DESIGNATED, DESIGNATING THOSE AS USE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION, AND SO WE'RE ADDING THOSE BACK INTO THE LIST, ASKING FOR THOSE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE MOTION.

[01:40:05]

AND THAT PARCEL IS A LOT THAT HAS AN EXISTING STRUCTURE THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DETERIORATED.

DETERIORATED. I BELIEVE THE ROOF IS COLLAPSED AND THERE'S A TREE GROWING THROUGH THEM.

SO WE'RE ASKING THAT COUNCIL ADOPT A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THOSE THREE PARCELS, WHICH IS THE ADDRESSES, SPECIFICALLY 1200 SALINA STREET SOUTHEAST, AND 220, I'M SORRY, 2230 WASHINGTON STREET NORTHEAST, AS WELL AS THE RECENT ACQUISITION OF 1491 FLORIDA AVENUE NORTHEAST.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, SEEING NO NO RESPONSES HERE.

I'M GOING TO OPEN UP, SIR. IT'S NOT WORKING. OKAY.

FORGOT COUNCILMAN HAMMOND. HEY WITH SELINA STREET, THIS WAS PROPERTY THAT WAS PURCHASED FOR A WALK THROUGH FOR THE SCHOOL, CORRECT? I DON'T KNOW, SIR.

OKAY. YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S IN A REGULAR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND AND I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT ONE.

MY QUESTION IS, CAN ALL THESE PROPERTIES BE SOLD TO PAY DOWN OUR SURPLUS, OR TO PAY DOWN OUR DEBT, OR TO GO TOWARDS ROADS? SO THE FLORIDA STATUTES REQUIRES THAT ANY LAND NOT DONATED, BUT SOLD, THOSE FUNDS BE USED TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

WE DO HAVE A DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATIVE CODE FOR SURPLUS PROPERTIES THAT WE, YOU KNOW, SELL FOR FOR CITY, OTHER, OTHER PURPOSES, NOT INCLUDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

AND THOSE FUNDS, THOSE PROCEEDS GO TO ROAD MAINTENANCE FUND.

SO THERE'S NOTHING OTHER THAN AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

SO THESE WEREN'T ALL THESE WERE PURCHASED FOR OR WERE DEEMED TO US FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

SO THEY ALL HAVE TO MANDATORY GO FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

NO, SIR. SO THERE ARE EIGHT THAT COUNCIL ALREADY DESIGNATED AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING THROUGH A RESOLUTION.

AND THERE ARE THREE MORE THAT PREVIOUS COUNCIL DESIGNATED AS SURPLUS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE RESOLUTION PROCESS.

I'M SORRY, TWO OF THOSE. AND THEN WE'RE THERE'S ONE MORE THAT WE ACQUIRED.

JUST THROUGH FORECLOSURE. SO IT'S UP TO COUNCIL WHETHER YOU WANT TO ADD THOSE TO THE LIST OF SURPLUS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

YOU CAN ALSO ADD THEM AS SURPLUS JUST FOR GENERAL REAL ESTATE.

WE HAVE WE HAVE TWO SEPARATE ADMIN CODES FOR HOW WE HANDLE THOSE.

FOR THE ONES THAT GET DESIGNATED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, PER THE STATUTE, WE DO HAVE TO USE ANY PROCEEDS TOWARDS FUTURE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

HOWEVER, IF IT'S JUST GENERAL REAL ESTATE SALE, OUR ADMINISTRATIVE CODE STATES THAT THE PROCEEDS GO TOWARDS ROAD MAINTENANCE.

OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT DONE IF POSSIBLE.

I THINK WE'RE AT THE AT THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE ENOUGH, ENOUGH PEOPLE COMING HERE UNTIL WE GET OUR ROADS, UNTIL WE REACH OUR CAPACITY. OUR CAPACITY IS NOT WHERE IT SHOULD BE.

AND IF WE CAN PUT ANYTHING TOWARDS IT, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT.

DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFE. SO MY QUESTION IS PREVIOUS RESOLUTION LOOKING FOR AN UPDATED RESOLUTION, ADDING THE THREE ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES. WHAT WHAT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT? WOULD THIS ACTUALLY GET LISTED WITH THE REAL ESTATE FIRM AND BE ADVERTISED? OR IF SOMEBODY WERE JUST TO CALL THE CITY AND SAY, HEY, DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY AFFORDABLE PROPERTY? CAN WE BUY IT? YES, ABSOLUTELY. AND WE ACTUALLY DO GET FOLKS THAT REACH OUT TO THE CITY AND ASK FOR SURPLUS PROPERTY, FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND THIS IS THE LIST THAT WE PROVIDE.

AND OF COURSE THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.

OUR TYPICAL PROCESS FOR A REAL ESTATE PURCHASE OR DONATION.

BUT THEY HAVE TO, AT THE END OF THE DAY, USE THAT LAND FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS DEFINED BY THE STATE.

AND TYPICALLY, HOW MUCH IS THIS LIKE, HOW MUCH WILL WE SELL THIS LAND FOR? WE WOULD GO THROUGH OUR REAL ESTATE PROCESS WHERE WE WOULD GET AN APPRAISAL OR A BROKER'S PRICE OPINION.

I WILL NOTE, HOWEVER, AT THIS POINT WE DO NOT HAVE A REAL ESTATE BROKER.

I THINK IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THIS CURRENT ECONOMY.

AND I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH COUNCILMAN HAMMER THAT I FEEL LIKE THIS PROPERTY SHOULD JUST BE LISTED AS SURPLUS PROPERTY AND NOT DESIGNATED AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

SURPLUS PROPERTY. IS THAT POSSIBLE? YES. OKAY.

IT'S BACK UP TO US. I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC.

ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? WELL, I'VE GOT SOMEONE STANDING UP. I DON'T NEED FOR ITEM NUMBER THREE.

[01:45:01]

MY QUESTIONS ARE SIMILAR TO WHAT THE DISCUSSION WAS ABOUT.

AND SUGGESTION WOULD BE CAN WE USE SURPLUS PROPERTY FOR A YOUTH CENTER, MEETING ROOMS FOR THE COMMUNITY.

THE COMMUNITY ROOM THAT WAS IN OR WAS DESIGNATED AS A COMMUNITY ROOM IS NO LONGER THAT, BECAUSE I WAS TOLD I COULDN'T HAVE MEETINGS THERE ANYMORE BECAUSE THE CITY NEEDED THE SPACE. SO I'M ASKING IF THERE'S SURPLUS PROPERTY, CAN THE COMMUNITY USE THAT PROPERTY? LIKE WE HAD A GROUP HERE EARLIER THAT A FEW MEETINGS AGO THAT HAS SURPLUS PROPERTY THAT IS BEING RENTED TO AN ORGANIZATION FOR YOUTH GROUP AS AN EXAMPLE. SO CAN BUSINESSES USE THESE SURPLUS PROPERTIES FOR MEETING ROOMS? CAN THEY USE IT FOR OTHER THINGS IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO OR DESIGNATED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING? I THINK WE'VE HIT THE LIMIT ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING STUFF THAT'S BEEN APPROVED AROUND HERE.

SO WE NEED TO HAVE ALTERNATIVES. AND THOSE ALTERNATIVES ARE SORELY NEEDED HERE IN IN THIS CITY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? MISS BROWN, THAT QUESTION IS GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU.

ROBERT SCHNEIDER, 1796 LYNBROOK DRIVE. I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU TWO MORE.

THE ROADS WITH THE PEOPLE COMING IN JUST GOING DOWN EMERSON AND TRYING TO EITHER STAY TO THE RIGHT OF THE ROAD OR TO THE LEFT TO AVOID ALL THOSE PATCHES AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE COMING IN HERE THAT HAVE ANOTHER 25,000 HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED OUT SOUTH THE ROAD REPAIR AND THE AMOUNT OF VOLUME THAT'S ON HERE.

ANY CHANCE YOU GET, YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE THE ROADS LIVABLE, PASSABLE, DRIVABLE BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH TRAFFIC ON IT.

THAT'S WHERE THE FOCUS HAS GOT TO BE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

APPRECIATE IT. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING ASKING FOR A MOTION.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CONVERT THE FOLLOWING PROPERTIES IN HERE TO SURPLUS PROPERTIES FOR SALE.

SECOND. I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN HAMMER, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.

I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE TO DENY THE. DENY THE RESOLUTION.

HOLD ON. MADAM. CLERK. YES. DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFEE IS CORRECT.

YOU SHOULD BE MAKING A MOTION TO DENY THE RESOLUTION AND STRIKE THOSE THAT YOU DON'T WANT ON THE RESOLUTION.

THEN I'LL PULL MY SECOND. HOLD ON. HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

I HAVE THE CITY MANAGER ON. IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK, HIT, HIT THE.

GO AHEAD. MR.. YES. I WOULD ASK FOR CLARIFICATION ON WHAT THE COUNCIL WANTS TO DO.

DO YOU WANT TO PUT ALL 11 FOR SALE FOR WHERE THE PROCEEDS COULD BE FOR THE ROAD FUND OR JUST THE NEWER ONES. SO IT WAS UNCLEAR TO ME FROM THE MOTION WHICH WHICH THAT WAS RIGHT.

AND SO PART OF THAT, I THOUGHT SOME OF THESE WERE ALREADY SOLD AND THEY WERE PART OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SO YOU COULDN'T TAKE THEM OUT AND PUT THEM ON THE MARKET ANYMORE.

IS THAT CORRECT? SO YOU ARE CORRECT THERE, THERE ARE EIGHT THAT WERE DESIGNATED BY RESOLUTION.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S GOING TO STOP ANYTHING AT THIS POINT. WE HAVE NO.

IS YOUR MIC ON? OKAY. OH I'M SORRY IT'S ON. IT'S JUST NOT CLOSE ENOUGH.

OKAY. WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE A CONTRACT ON THE NORTHVIEW.

LOTS. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS IS THE SIX LOTS FOR NORTHVIEW.

CAME BEFORE COUNCIL UNDER A HOME DISBURSEMENT TO MACEDONIA CDC FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DUPLEX UNITS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS AND VETERANS. HOWEVER, WE HAVEN'T YET EXECUTED THE AGREEMENT.

WE'RE WORKING THROUGH SOME CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE AT A STAFF LEVEL ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY OF THE PROJECT.

WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF THESE PROPERTIES LISTED UNDER DIFFERENT HOME AGREEMENT WITH A A COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION.

HOWEVER, I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT SHE IS LOOKING TO PERHAPS TERMINATE THAT CONTRACT BECAUSE SHE'S NOT ABLE TO CONSTRUCT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT THE CURRENT MARKET RATES.

SO I WOULD JUST ASK THAT WE HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO LOOK INTO THOSE PARTICULAR PROPERTIES UNDER THE AGREEMENT WITH BUT I WOULD DEFER TO MADAM SMITH WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN ACTUALLY. AMEND THE RESOLUTION PREVIOUSLY DESIGNATING THE EIGHT LOTS AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WELL, RIGHT NOW, I HAD COUNCILMAN JOHNSON PULLED HIS SECOND, AND SO I DON'T HAVE A MOTION,

[01:50:08]

AND CERTAINLY WE'VE HEARD COUNSEL'S DIRECTION.

IT MAY BE BETTER AT THIS POINT FOR STAFF TO WITHDRAW IT.

WE GOT THAT DIRECTION. AND WE'LL LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT PROPERTIES THAT WE THINK MAY NEED TO CONTINUE AND WHICH ONES THAT WE SHOULD REMOVE AND BRING IT BACK AT THAT POINT. AND INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DICE IT RIGHT NOW, SEPARATE IT OKAY.

SO I HEAR STAFF IS PULLING THIS ITEM. IS THAT WHAT I HEARD? I THINK THAT'S AN EXCELLENT RECOMMENDATION. WE CAN COME BACK WITH AN ALTERNATIVE THAT WOULD FIT MORE OF THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION.

OKAY. SO ITEM NUMBER THREE HAS BEEN PULLED BY STAFF.

WE'RE NOW GOING TO ITEM NUMBER ONE UNFINISHED AND OLD BUSINESS.

[UNFINISHED AND OLD BUSINESS:]

TO RE-ADVERTISE IN THE HOPES OF HITTING OUR JULY 3RD MEETING OF $170,000 WORTH OF HOME FUNDS.

AND IN THE MEANTIME, STAFF GOT TOGETHER AND CAME UP WITH AN ALTERNATIVE IDEA, WHICH WE THINK IS A GOOD IDEA.

BUT WE WANTED TO COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL TO SEE IF THAT WAS YOUR POLICY DIRECTION.

BUT INSTEAD OF SOLICITING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME HOUSING WITH SOME TIGHT DEADLINES, THIS WOULD BE USED TO SUPPLEMENT EXISTING OWNER OCCUPIED HOUSING REHABILITATION FUNDS, WHERE WE HAVE A VERY LONG WAITING LIST AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY A POLICY CALL FOR THE COUNCIL.

BUT AFTER THE PREVIOUS MEETING, STAFF THINKS THIS WOULD BE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE DIRECTION TO HEAD TOWARDS THE THE HEARINGS THAT THE HEARING THAT LIES AHEAD. OKAY.

I DON'T SEE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. DEPUTY MAYOR.

ANY COMMENT CARDS? NO, MAYOR. OKAY, I NEED A MOTION.

SO MOVED. SECOND. GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFEE.

ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. PASSES FOUR ZERO.

[NEW BUSINESS:]

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS A ONE YEAR EXTENSION TO THE EXISTING LEASE AGREEMENT.

SO THE ORIGINAL LEASE AGREEMENT WAS FOR THREE YEARS WITH TWO ONE YEAR OPTIONS IS ACTUALLY AS APPROVED IN 2021.

THE CITY MANAGER HAS THE ABILITY TO EXECUTE THE EXTENSIONS.

RECENTLY WE DISCOVERED THAT THE EXTENSION THAT GOES THROUGH 2025 WAS NOT EXECUTED.

SO WE QUICKLY FIXED THAT. BASED ON SOME DISCUSSION, THOUGH, THAT YOU ALL HAVE HAD AT COUNCIL, WE WANTED TO BRING BACK THIS FINAL YEAR EXTENSION.

ALSO HERE THIS EVENING IS SYLVIA FELLS. SHE IS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE GREATER PALM BAY SENIOR CENTER.

MR. MORGAN AND I WENT AND MET WITH THE BOARD IN MARCH AND HAD A LONG CONVERSATION WITH THEM.

THERE'S A LOT OF CONTENT IN THIS LEGISLATIVE MEMO ABOUT ALL THE GOOD WORK THAT THE GREATER PALM BAY SENIOR CENTER DOES IN OUR COMMUNITY, WITH THEIR 1200 MEMBERS, THEIR OUTREACH PROGRAMS, THEIR PROGRAMING IS VERY INTENSIVE.

I FEEL VERY STRONGLY WHEN WE SAT DOWN WITH MISS FELLS AND THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, THAT THE CITY STAFF NEEDED TO DO A BETTER JOB CONNECTING WITH THE SENIORS. THERE WAS DIVISION IN OUR RELATIONSHIP, AND SYLVIA AND I HAVE WORKED TO BUILD BRIDGES TO RECOGNIZE THE GOOD WORK THAT THEY DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY. AS SUCH, WE'VE NEGOTIATED A FEW MINOR CONCESSIONS FOR THIS LAST LEASE EXTENSION THAT WOULD GO THROUGH 2026.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT IN THE NEXT YEAR, WE WOULD NEED TO BRING FORWARD A MUCH LARGER AND LONGER EXTENSION PERIOD FOR YOU ALL TO CONSIDER AND ANTICIPATE THAT WE WOULD HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH YOU ALL AT A COUNCIL MEETING TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK BEFORE WE GO AND NEGOTIATE WITH THE SENIORS.

THIS SENIOR CENTER WAS BUILT AND DESIGNED TO BE A SENIOR CENTER BACK IN THE 80S.

THE FUNDRAISING FOR IT AND THE GRANTS ACQUIRED WERE FOR THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A SENIOR CENTER.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE NEGOTIATED THAT WILL BENEFIT THE CITY IS THE ABILITY FOR US TO HOLD FIVE EVENTS A YEAR.

WITH 14 DAYS NOTICE TO THE SENIOR CENTER, AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T IMPACT ANY OF THEIR OTHER EVENTS WITH NO CHARGE TO THE CITY.

[01:55:06]

SO OUR PARKS AND FACILITIES STAFF HAS GONE OUT THERE AND MADE A SMALL MAINTENANCE INVESTMENT OF REMOVING THE ROOTS OF THE TREES THAT ARE CREATING A TRIP HAZARD AS PEOPLE WALK ONTO THE PROPERTY. JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND MISSPELLS IS AVAILABLE AS WELL.

COUNCILMAN HAMMER. I KNOW WE'RE ALLOWED TO USE THE FACILITY X AMOUNT OF DAYS PER YEAR ALREADY.

HAVE WE BEEN UTILIZING THAT AT ALL? YES WE HAVE.

WE HOST. WE HOST, OF COURSE, THE SPACE COAST LEAGUE OF CITIES DINNER.

WE ALSO HOST THE. WE HOSTED SEVERAL SPECIAL EVENTS THIS LAST YEAR.

I KNOW WE DID THE MOTHER OR THE OR THE FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE. FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE WAS WILDLY SUCCESSFUL.

SO THIS NEXT YEAR THEY PLAN TO BRING THAT BACK AND ALSO HAVE A FATHER SON DANCE AS WELL.

AND I BELIEVE THOSE ARE THE ONLY EVENTS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT AM I MISSING ONE? CHIEF'S BREAKFAST, I BELIEVE SO. CHIEF'S BREAKFAST IS AN INTERESTING ONE.

AND WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT THAT, RIGHT? BECAUSE THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT A CITY EVENT.

THAT IS THROUGH THEIR FOUNDATION. WE DID THAT AT HARRIS ANYWAYS, LAST YEAR.

WE DID IT AT HARRIS. THEY'RE LOOKING AT BRINGING IT BACK TO THE SENIOR CENTER, AND THEY ARE ALREADY IN TALKS WITH THE SENIOR CENTER ABOUT RENTING THE SPACE FOR THAT ROOM. AND I HAVE SPOKEN TO A LIEUTENANT KILMER AND OFFERED TO TO HELP IN ANY WAY TO FACILITATE THAT.

OKAY. AND MY LAST QUESTION, IF THIS GETS DENIED TODAY, DOES THE CITY HAVE ANYTHING THAT COMPARES TO WHAT THEY PROVIDE THERE FOR SENIORS TO DO. OTHER THAN NOT DO ANYTHING IN PALM BAY. NO THANK YOU.

I THINK BY SHE SAID IT WAS ORIGINATED THROUGH GRANTS WITH THE SOLE INTENTIONS OF SERVING OUR SENIOR COMMUNITY.

COUNCILMAN JOHNSON? YES, MAYOR. THANK YOU. MRS. MISS KELLY. WE'VE BEEN ON THIS JOURNEY FOR A WHILE.

SO MY QUESTION FOR YOU. DO YOU FEEL FIVE EVENTS IS ENOUGH? BECAUSE JUST RIGHT THERE, THAT WAS FOUR, SO I WASN'T SURE YOU FELT OKAY.

YEAH, WE TALKED ABOUT IT. OKAY. AND WE COUNTED THEM UP.

AND THEN ACTUALLY, I THINK WE'RE ONLY AT FOUR, BUT SYLVIA WAS GENEROUS ENOUGH TO AGREE TO HOLD A FIFTH ONE FOR US IN CASE DANIEL AND HIS TEAM CAN THINK OF ANOTHER COMMUNITY EVENT THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE LARGER POPULATION, NOT JUST THE SENIORS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFE.

YEAH, I'D JUST LIKE TO MAKE THE COMMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M GRATEFUL FOR FOR STAFF, YOU KNOW, MEETING WITH THE SENIOR CENTER AND CREATING THAT BRIDGE, BECAUSE THERE WAS A PERIOD OF A COUPLE OF WEEKS THERE WHERE COUNCIL WAS RECEIVING EMAILS, SOME OF THEM WEREN'T REALLY NICE ABOUT CONVERTING THIS TO A CHARTER SCHOOL AND JUST SOME REALLY BIZARRE RUMORS THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I GUESS THIS MAYBE THE GAME OF TELEPHONE. BUT I WOULD JUST APPRECIATE IN THE FUTURE IF BOTH PARTIES CAN JUST REACH OUT AND HAVE DIRECT CONVERSATIONS AND THEN MANAGE THE MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CENTER WITH APPROPRIATE INFORMATION.

SO, YES, YOU KNOW, THERE'S CLARITY ON WHAT THE FUTURE LOOKS LIKE.

THANK YOU. AND IF I MAY, THERE IS ACTUALLY A LISTING IN THE AGREEMENT THAT WE PARTICIPATE IN THEIR BOARD MEETINGS, AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN DOING THAT. BUT DANIEL HAS GRACIOUSLY VOLUNTEERED AND HAS GREAT EXPERIENCE PARTNERING WITH SENIORS FROM HIS PREVIOUS WORK BEFORE COMING TO THE CITY TO BE THAT LIAISON, AND WILL BE ATTENDING THE BOARD MEETINGS AND ACTING AS THE CITY'S VOICE FOR EXACTLY THE COMMUNICATION YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. WELL, AND THAT GOES YOU'RE TO BE COMMENDED FOR THAT.

YOU AND DANIEL. RIGHT. IS BUILDING AND FOSTERING RELATIONSHIPS BECAUSE I DO AGREE WITH DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFE.

THERE WERE SO MANY RUMORS EVEN SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, FOLKS WERE COMING IN HERE PERTURBED, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM AND AND COMING UP WITH ALL THESE RUMORS AND AND IT'S PROBABLY IS THE GAME OF TELEPHONE, RIGHT? BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. THANK YOU FOR BUILDING THOSE RELATIONSHIPS.

AND I TRULY APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO, MA'AM. THANK YOU.

SO, SPEAKER CARDS DEPUTY MAYOR BILL BATTEN. BILL BATTEN, 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST. FIRST, I'D LIKE THE COMMUNICATIONS GOING BOTH DIRECTIONS.

I LIKE SEEING THAT. THAT WAS GREAT. AND I AGREE, THERE WAS A WHOLE LOT OF RUMORS GOING ON HERE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

BUT I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION. WHAT IS THE COST TO THE SENIOR RESIDENTS THAT WANT TO USE THE SENIOR CITIZEN TO USE THE CENTER.

[02:00:02]

COME ON UP, MAN. OKAY. I'M NOT I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTOOD THE QUESTION TOTALLY.

IS THERE A COST FOR THEM TO COME AND USE THE CENTER, OR TO RENT THE CENTER TO USE IT? THERE IS A MEMBERSHIP FEE. YES, IT'S $40 PER YEAR.

AND YOU HAVE TO BE 50 YEARS AND OLDER IN ORDER TO BECOME A MEMBER.

AND THEN YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN EVERY SINGLE ACTIVITY THAT WE HAVE.

SO YES, THERE IS A FEE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MA'AM.

IT'S GREAT TO KNOW I QUALIFY. AND SO DOES MASTER CHIEF BATON.

ANY ADDITIONAL SPEAKER CARDS? NO, MA'AM. I NEED A MOTION.

TO APPROVE THE ONE YEAR EXTENSION TO THE LEASE AGREEMENT FOR THE GREATER PALM BAY SENIOR CENTER.

SECOND. GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFE, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN HAMMER.

ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. PASSES FOUR ZERO.

ITEM NUMBER TWO, MISS SMITH. RESOLUTION 2025 DASH 18, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING RESOLUTION 20 1134, AS AMENDED BY RESOLUTION 2021, DASH ZERO THREE AND UPDATING THE CITY OF PALM BAY FUND BALANCE POLICY, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

THANK YOU, MR. MORGAN. YES, MAYOR. MAYORS AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

AS YOUR INTERIM CITY MANAGER, ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO LOOK AT WAS OUR LONG TERM FINANCIAL HEALTH.

AS ALL OF, YOU KNOW, THE ECONOMY CYCLES. WE HAVE BOOM AND BUST PERIODS AND PERIODS OF HIGH GROWTH, AND THEN WE HAVE PERIODS OF RECESSION. IT'S JUST THE NATURAL BUSINESS CYCLE.

IN ADDITION, THE CITY SOMETIME THE TIME CAN FACE EXTERNAL PRESSURES ON OUR FINANCES.

SHOULD THE STATE REDUCE SOME IMPORTANT CITY REVENUES? MY STRONG OPINION IS THAT THE CITY NEEDS TO BE IN A BETTER POSITION TO BE PREPARED FOR MAJOR DOWNTURNS AND AND SHOCKS. OUR CURRENT FUND BALANCE POLICY FOR THE GENERAL FUND GOES BACK TO 2011, AND IT PROVIDES FOR A TWO MONTH GENERAL FUND RESERVE AND A 2 TO 4% EMERGENCY CONTINGENCY RESERVE.

SO COMBINE THOSE TWO ARE BETWEEN 18.7 AND 20.7% OF OUR GENERAL FUND OPERATING.

AND WE'RE PROPOSING THAT THAT BE A FOUR MONTH RESERVE.

SO THAT WOULD GO TO 33 AND A THIRD PERCENT. THIS IS MORE IN LINE WITH REALLY HEALTHY COMMUNITIES TO HAVE A RAINY DAY FUND, AS IT WERE. SO THAT IN TIMES OF STRESS, THE CITY CAN CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO ITS CITIZENS AND HAVE SOME TIME TO ADJUST TO THOSE KINDS OF SHOCKS.

WE HAD SOME REALLY GREAT WORK BY OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR AND OUR FINANCIAL CONSULTANTS FROM PRAGUE WHO ARE HERE.

BUT I'M VERY PROUD OF THEIR WORK. AND AGAIN, IF I CAN CONTRIBUTE TO A COUPLE OF IMPORTANT POLICIES AS YOUR INTERIM MANAGER, I DID WANT TO LOOK AT THIS AND BELIEVE THAT HAVING A MORE SIGNIFICANT RAINY DAY FUND WHILE YOU HAVE IT IS MUCH BETTER THAN WHEN YOU DON'T, AND YOU'RE TRYING TO BUILD IT.

AND SO IT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU APPROVE A RESOLUTION 20 2518.

THANK YOU. SEEING NO QUESTIONS. AT THIS TIME, ARE THERE ANY SPEAKER CARDS? NO, MAYOR. OKAY, I NEED A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 2025, DASH 18 AND AMENDED RESOLUTION 20 1134. I GOT A SECOND. I GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFEY, SECONDED BY MAYOR MEDINA.

ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. PASSES FOR ZERO.

OH WERE YOU WERE YOU TRYING TO DING. NO. I'M GOOD.

OKAY. ITEM NUMBER FOUR. MR. MORGAN. YES. THIS IS OUR REGULAR

[02:05:06]

ATTORNEY. OKAY. ORDINANCE 2025 DASH 18, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING ALLOCATING FUNDS AS IDENTIFIED IN EXHIBIT A, CONSISTING OF FIVE PAGES, AND INCORPORATE IN ITS ENTIRETY HEREIN, RECOGNIZING THAT SUCH APPROPRIATIONS MUST BE MADE PURSUANT TO THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY. CHAPTER 35 ADOPTING, RATIFYING, CONFIRMING AND VALIDATING THE ALLOCATIONS.

PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU. WE'RE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

NO. NO. AS YOU WERE FIRST READING. YES. MR. MORGAN? YES. IT'S OUR RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE THIS ON FIRST READING.

DEPUTY MAYOR, NO SPEAKER CARDS. I NEED A MOTION.

SO MOVED. SECOND. GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFEE.

ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. PASSES FOUR ZERO.

WE'RE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER FOUR. MISTER MORGAN.

YES. MAYOR. MEMBERS, CITY COUNCIL, PLEASED TO BRING ON BEHALF OF THE CITY ATTORNEY AND MYSELF A PROPOSED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH YOUR SELECTED CITY MANAGER. MATTHEW MORTON. AS YOU KNOW, YOU HAD ALL DAY INTERVIEWS ON SATURDAY, MARCH THE 29TH, AND YOU INTERVIEWED SIX CANDIDATES.

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CONTRIBUTED TO THEIR VIEWS AS WELL AS OUR DEPARTMENT HEAD TEAM.

AND YOU SELECTED MATTHEW MORTON AS DIRECTED BY THE COUNCIL CITY ATTORNEY PATRICIA SMITH.

AND I PROVIDED A PROPOSAL TO MR. MORTON, AND WE WENT IT WAS FAIRLY QUICKLY TO DO THIS.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE CITIZENS AND THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW THAT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR BOTH THE CITY AND MR. MORTON, THAT PART OF THE AGREEMENT IS UP ON THE SCREEN NOW, AND IT BINDS YOUR NEW CITY MANAGER TO THE INTERNATIONAL CITY COUNTY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION CODE OF ETHICS.

IN PAST YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

AND TO ME, IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE PUT THIS PROPOSAL FORWARD AND INCLUDES THAT CONTRACT PROVISION.

MR. MORTON IMMEDIATELY AGREED THAT THIS WAS IMPORTANT FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE AS WELL.

IN TERMS OF THE THE NEGOTIATED SALARY AND OTHER BENEFITS.

THE SALARY IS THE SAME SALARY THAT YOU HAVE OFFERED ME, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS VERY GOOD TO GET SOMEBODY WITH SO MUCH CITY MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE, BOTH IN WASHINGTON STATE AND IN FLORIDA AS WELL AS PRIVATE SECTOR EXPERIENCE, WHICH DOESN'T ALWAYS COME WITH CITY MANAGERS THAT CAN, I THINK, BE VERY HELPFUL TO THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

AND THAT IS A GOOD FIT. AND I THINK THE COUNCIL MADE A VERY GOOD SELECTION.

THE OTHER BENEFITS ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS THAT WHICH YOU GIVE YOUR OTHER TOP MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES.

AND SO THE, THE OUTLINED TERMS ARE IN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT IT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH MATTHEW MORTON TO BE YOUR CITY MANAGER, EFFECTIVE THE 1ST OF MAY.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? COUNCIL? SEEING NONE.

BILL. BILL. BATTEN. THANK YOU. BILL BATTEN, 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST. I COULD BE WRONG, BUT FIRST, I'D LIKE TO.

THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST CHANCE I GET TO SEE MR. MORGAN SITTING IN CHAMBERS LIKE THIS. SO BEFORE I WANT TO SAY THIS IN PUBLIC.

MR. MORGAN, YOU AND I MIGHT NOT SEE THINGS THE SAME WAY, BUT I WAS VERY IMPRESSED ON HOW YOU CAME IN, STEPPED UP AND MANAGED THIS CITY. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THAT.

NOT ALWAYS HAPPY WITH WHAT THE OUTCOME WAS, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

BUT I'M TELLING YOU IN PUBLIC THAT I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED.

[02:10:01]

NOW ON TO THE NEGATIVE SIDE THAT ALWAYS COMES WITH BILL BATTEN, RIGHT.

MR. MORTON, I AGREE. SOUNDS LIKE A VERY GOOD PERSON TO BE APPLYING TO BE THE NEW MANAGER OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

RIGHT. BUT GENERATE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. RIGHT.

HIS BASE SALARY, HIS SALARY WAS GOING TO BE $240,000 A YEAR, WHICH WE AGREED WITH.

THAT WAS A POOR BATTING STANDARD HIGH. BUT FOR THIS MANAGER THAT IT WAS A FAIR PRICE.

BUT THAT LED TO ANOTHER QUESTION, THOUGH, BECAUSE OF HIM BELONGING TO THE ICMA, RIGHT, THAT THERE IS A COST FOR THAT.

AND PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE. MAYBE WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE CONTRACT, YOU'LL SEE WHAT THE COST OF THAT WAS.

THAT MEANS THE CITY IN CONJUNCTION WITH HIS SALARY.

WE THEN HAVE TO PAY HIS DUES FOR THE ICMA AND HIS DUES FOR THE ICMA IS $16,000 A YEAR.

SO YOU THEN TAKE THAT $16,000 AND YOU ADD THAT TO THE $240,000 THAT HE'S GETTING ANNUALLY.

THAT PUTS HIS SALARY FOR HIM BEING WHO HE IS AT 100 AND 150, I MEAN, $256,000, WHICH IS NOTICEABLE.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU MIGHT NOT BE WORTH IT. I'M JUST WANTING THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT YOU LOOK AT THAT 240 THAT YOU'RE SEEING A VERY SIGNIFICANT COST BECAUSE OF THAT ICMA CONTRACT THAT CAME WITH IT. RIGHT? THAT'S THE FIRST ITEM.

SECOND ITEM WAS THE FACT THAT IF YOU END UP FIRING THIS NEW CITY MANAGER.

JUST REMEMBER, THAT'S GOING TO COST YOU $92,000.

WHEN WE GET A NEW COUNCIL, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THAT, BECAUSE THAT WAS 20 WEEKS.

IF YOU FIRED THEM RIGHT AFTER AN ELECTION. $92,000.

THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD UMBRELLA FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL.

SO I WANT THE RESPONSIBILITY TO FALL BACK ON YOU SAY DON'T FIRE.

YOU KNOW, HOLD OUT FOR THREE MONTHS UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION IF YOU'RE NOT SATISFIED WITH THEM.

SO YOU CAN SAVE ME SOME MONEY. OKAY. I'D LIKE YOU TO SAVE MY MONEY.

AND DON'T JUST GET UP THERE. AND FIRST DAY AFTER THE ELECTION, THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS VOTE TO FIRE THE CITY MANAGER.

AND THEN YOU KNOW WHAT? IT COST ME MONEY THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID.

THAT COULD HAVE PAID FOR MY SPECIAL ELECTION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER, MARK MILLER.

RIGHT. MARK MILLER, 898 NELSON AVENUE ONE A SECOND WITH MASTER CHIEF SAID ABOUT SCOTT MORGAN STEPPING UP IN INTO THE CITY MANAGER POSITION.

JUST ALL MY INTERACTIONS WITH HIM. INCREDIBLY PROFESSIONAL MAN, JUST A HEART OF SERVICE.

AND THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THIS CITY.

AND ALSO AS YOU HAND OFF THE BATON AND HELP HIM GET UP TO SPEED AND RUNNING.

NOT THAT I HAVE NECESSARILY ANYTHING NEW YOU HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE. BUT AGAIN, WE'VE GOT TO SET.

WE GOT TO SET THIS NEW GUY UP FOR SUCCESS WITH A PRIORITIZED LIST.

I MEAN, WE ALREADY, EVEN TONIGHT LOADED HIM UP WITH THE WHOLE CODE OF ORDINANCES IN HIS FIRST TWO WEEKS TO DIGEST EVERYTHING ABOUT IT AND EVERY DETAIL AND GO THROUGH IT AND BE READY BY MAY 14TH. THAT JUST SEEMS LIKE A LOT COMING ON BOARD.

WHEN WE GOT A HUGE CITY WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE.

SO I WANT TO REALLY ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO ITEMIZE OR PRIORITIZE PRIORITIZED LIST.

MAYBE IT'S NOT THE WHOLE CODE OF ORDINANCES. I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD THAT, BUT FOR ME, IT WAS OKAY.

YOU GOT TWO WEEKS TO KNOW EVERY DETAIL ABOUT THIS NEW CODE AND FIGURE IT ALL OUT.

ON TOP OF LEARNING EVERYBODY, LEARNING THE CITY, LEARNING THE ISSUES.

THAT'S A LOT TO ASK OF OF A LEADER IN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS.

SO JUST BE CAREFUL. YOU DON'T LOAD SO MUCH ON THEM, THE GUY CRUMBLES AND FAILS RIGHT AWAY ON THAT I WOULD ALSO, I DID NOT GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO READ THE CONTRACT.

MY FAULT. MONTHLY PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK I DON'T KNOW WHAT IF THERE'S ANYTHING IN THE CONTRACT ABOUT THAT, BUT EVEN IF IT'S NOT IN THE CONTRACT, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO PROVIDE HIM WITH REGULAR FEEDBACK.

I DON'T CARE IF IT'S WEEKLY, MONTHLY OR WHATEVER, BUT THERE'S NO WAY HE SHOULD BE WALKING INTO THIS ROOM AND BEING HIT WITH A SHOCKER THAT HE'S BEING WALKED OUT THE DOOR THE SAME DAY. ALL RIGHT, LET'S SET THIS GUY UP FOR SUCCESS.

LET'S MAKE SURE THAT YOU GIVE HIM THE FEEDBACK THAT HE NEEDS SO HE CAN PERFORM.

BECAUSE YOU CAN TELL FROM THE GUY'S HEART HE REALLY WANTS TO DO A GREAT JOB.

AND HE WANTS TO GIVE GOD THE GLORY FOR IT. AND SO I PRAISE HIM FOR THAT.

ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER. NO MORE CARDS, MAN.

OKAY. I GUESS YOU KNOW, I'LL START WITH COMMENDING MR. MORGAN AS WELL. AND THAT CAVEAT IN, IN PAGE SIX OF OF NINE.

IN THE EVENT THE CITY MANAGER IS TERMINATED BY THE CITY DURING THE THREE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE SEATING AND SWEARING IN OF TWO OR MORE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS

[02:15:09]

SO IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS AN INVESTMENT. ESTIMATE, IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A GOAL AND WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD AND TRUST YOU FOR THOSE, YOU KNOW, THAT TIME.

SO I THANK YOU FOR ADDING THAT MISTER MORGAN MR. OR COUNCILMAN JOHNSON YOU FIRST. YES. THANK YOU MAYOR.

ONLY QUESTION IS STAFF CONSIDER A 90 DAY PROBATIONARY PERIOD FOR THIS, OR WAS THAT DISCUSSED AT ALL? NO. OKAY. THIS IS A MAJOR COMMITMENT ON BOTH THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE THE MR. MORTON. AND SO IN TERMS OF THE QUESTION ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE REVIEW, THERE IS A FORMAL PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AT THE SIX MONTH MARK AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER. BUT I THOUGHT THE IDEA OF REGULAR COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE MANAGER IS VERY IMPORTANT.

I ALSO THOUGHT THE IDEA OF LAYING OUT WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT FROM THE POLICY MAKING LEGISLATIVE BODY IS REALLY GOOD.

SO NO, THIS IS NOT A A POSITION THAT MOST PLACES WOULD HAVE A SHORT TERM PROBATIONARY PERIOD.

OKAY, THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. OTHER THAN THAT I DO LOVE THAT WE'RE HARPING DOWN ON THE REVIEWS.

EVEN MYSELF, I WAS SLACKING IN CERTAIN AREAS.

BUT IT WAS INCONSISTENT. SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD DO REVIEWS ON THE CHARTER OFFICERS AND SOME WOULDN'T.

SO HAVING CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ALL THE CHARTER OFFICERS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BY HIS STAFF AND THE CITY AND THE RESIDENTS.

THANK YOU. DEPUTY MAYOR, MR. MORGAN, CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THE COMMENT MR. BATTEN MADE ABOUT THE I'VE MEMBERSHIP? IS IS THERE A MEMBERSHIP BEING PAID HERE? AND IS IT HOW MUCH? THAT IS VERY TYPICAL. WE ACTUALLY HAVE OTHERS IN THE ORGANIZATION WHERE THE CITY PAYS THE ICMA AND FCMA MEMBERSHIPS. THOSE ARE VERY VALUABLE. YOU KNOW, AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE OF 45 YEARS WHAT YOU LEARN FROM COLLEAGUES BECOMES VERY IMPORTANT AND BROUGHT BACK TO THE ORGANIZATION.

CERTAINLY WE PROVIDE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS THROUGH THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES THROUGH FOR FIRE AND POLICE.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THE CITY MANAGERS ARE ANY DIFFERENT.

THOSE DOS DO CHANGE WITH WAGES. THEY ARE CAPPED.

BUT THEY ARE. THAT'S PART OF THE COST. AND THE OVERALL COST OF THE POSITION INCLUDES BENEFITS AS WELL.

SO IT IS AN INVESTMENT ON THE PART OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO REALLY HAVE A PROFESSIONAL CITY MANAGER THAT CAN TAKE THIS COMMUNITY INTO THE FUTURE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

AND I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF THE CITY COUNCIL IF I TRIED WITH THE SELECTION THAT YOU MADE.

I THINK YOU'RE LIKELY TO BE VERY PLEASED WITH THE WHERE WE ARE SIX MONTHS FROM NOW.

A YEAR FROM NOW. SO THAT IS A COST. AND IT'S A COST THAT'S IN PRETTY MUCH EVERY EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OF CITIES WITH THEIR WITH THEIR TOP ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIAL.

I UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF THE RELOCATION PACKAGE.

I SEE THE BENEFIT IN IT. THE ONE THING I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS THAT IT'S PAID AFTER A 90 DAY PERIOD.

YOU KNOW, MR. MORTON RESIGNS AFTER 30 DAYS. WE PAY TEN GRAND TO RELOCATE HIM HERE UP TO TEN GRAND.

YEAH, I'M SURE HE WOULD AGREE TO THAT. AND THEN TO THE MAYOR'S COMMENT ABOUT THE SWEARING IN OF TWO OR MORE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'M CONFLICTED ON THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT? IF THERE'S AN APPOINTMENT IS WHETHER IT'S A SPECIAL ELECTION.

IS IT REGULARLY SCHEDULED ELECTIONS? I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOME THINGS.

THERE MAY BE SOME UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES, AND I UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF IT BECAUSE OF WHAT WE EXPERIENCED.

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I NECESSARILY AGREE WITH WITH D THE 20 WEEK MAXIMUM IF A NEW COUNCIL IS SEATED.

SO, SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I PUT IN THE PROPOSAL AND, AND MR. MORTON ACCEPTED. IN THE PAST, THE CITY HAS GONE TO THE FULL 20 WEEKS AT ANY TIME.

[02:20:06]

AND IT ONLY HITS THAT SAME LEVEL THAT YOU'VE HISTORICALLY GIVEN IN THAT WINDOW, WHETHER IT'S BY REGULAR ELECTION, SPECIAL ELECTION, I THINK THE LANGUAGE IS SIMPLY WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF THE SEATING OF TWO NEW MEMBERS.

SO NOT ONE MEMBER BUT TWO MEMBERS. AND AND THAT WOULD GET YOU TO THE LEVEL THAT THE CITY HAD PREVIOUSLY GIVEN WITHOUT SUCH A LIMITED TIME FRAME. AND THE PURPOSE OF THAT WOULD BE TO HAVE THE MANAGER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH NEWLY SEATED COUNCIL MEMBERS TO DEVELOP SOME RELATIONSHIP TO TO SEE HOW THOSE NEW MEMBERS WOULD SEE HOW THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MANAGER WOULD BE.

AND AS MR. BATTEN POINTED OUT TO TO DISCOURAGE A NEWLY SEATED COUNCIL FROM GIVING THAT MANAGER AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE HIS WORTH TO THE NEW MEMBERS.

SO THAT'S THE I PUT THAT IN THERE. AND MR. MORTON ACCEPTED IT.

THANK YOU, MR. MORGAN. WE RECEIVED A FEW EMAILS THIS WEEK FROM SOME RESIDENTS NOT EXACTLY HAPPY WITH WITH THE CONTRACT AND THE BASE PAY.

AND I PERSONALLY, I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON MULTIPLE MUNICIPALITIES.

OF COURSE, AND ABOUT 20 DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES, RANGING IN POPULATION SIZE FROM 118,000 TO 240,000.

AND ACTUALLY CONVERTED THEIR, THEIR PAY TO A PER RESIDENT PAY.

AND IT COMES OUT TO $1.84 PER RESIDENT AND WHICH WOULD BE $250,000 BASE SALARY FOR MR. MORTON. SO I THINK IN MY EXPERIENCE, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, AND I SEE THE VALUE IN WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE AND HIRING MR. MORTON. WE WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THIS PROCESS, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE IT THROUGH THE FINISH LINE TONIGHT.

SO I'LL BE I'LL BE SUPPORTING THE CONTRACT. THANK YOU.

COUNCILMAN. HAMMER. YEAH. I WANT TO TOUCH BACK ON THE ICMA DUES.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT $16,000 A YEAR? YES, IT'S ANNUAL DUES.

YES, SIR. OKAY. WHEN YOU GO ON THEIR WEBSITE FOR EVEN THE TOP ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS, IT'S 1200 ANNUALLY.

AND IT SAYS THERE'S A MAX. YES. YEAH, IT'S $1,200 ANNUALLY.

SO IF WE'RE DOING $1,200 ANNUALLY FOR THAT, HOW DO WE GET $16,000 A YEAR? I HAVE NOT LOOKED AT THAT WEBSITE, BUT I DO KNOW THERE IS A CAP.

AND SO FOR THINK OF CITIES IN HIGH COST AREAS, CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK AND SO FORTH.

SO ICMA DECIDED THAT IT WOULDN'T ALL ROLL WITH SALARY WHILE STILL RECOGNIZING THERE ARE POOR RURAL COMMUNITIES THAT CAN'T AFFORD AS MUCH. BUT BUT THE RATE THAT MR. BATTEN QUOTED AND YOU QUOTED I WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP MYSELF, I IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT AND AND THAT'S THE CAP THEN IF ON THE CURRENT WEBSITE THEN YEAH I'M LOOKING AT IT RIGHT NOW IT'S SAYING COS ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS AND EVERYTHING ABOVE IS AN ANNUAL SALARY TIMES 0.0065, UP TO $1,200. AND THAT'S THE NEW ANNUAL RATE AS OF TEN 122.

OKAY. SO IF YOU'RE YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT THEN THAT WOULD BE WHAT THAT COST TO THE CITY WOULD BE FOR FOR THAT MEMBERSHIP.

THAT'S LIKE 1400 OR $14,800 A YEAR LESS. SO IF WE CAN DO A DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT, I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT A LOT. I KNOW THEY DO HAVE A LIFE MEMBER AND IF THAT IS FOR A LIFE MEMBER, BUT I THINK THAT'S A ONE TIME FEE. YEAH, AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE IS LOOKING UP THE WEBSITE, BUT IT BUT IT IS. I DO KNOW THAT THE POLICY OF THE ICMA BOARD WAS TO TRY TO NOT OVERBURDEN SMALL RURAL CITIES BECAUSE HAVING THE CITY PAY THE DUES IS, IS NORMAL.

AND ON THE OTHER END, THERE ARE HIGH COST AREAS THAT WHERE MANAGERS ARE PAID, YOU KNOW, WELL IN EXCESS OF WHAT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED HERE. AND THAT'S WHY THERE'S A CAP.

BUT WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT MYSELF, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHICH IS THE ACCURATE NUMBER.

I'M GETTING THE ACCURATE NUMBER RIGHT HERE. OKAY.

LAST YEAR, WE PAID $3,210 FOR THE CITY MANAGER AND THE TWO DEPUTY CITY MANAGERS

[02:25:05]

OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH, I'D LIKE TO JUST MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T GO TO 16,000 A YEAR, BECAUSE THAT WOULD COVER 12 EMPLOYEES.

I'M SURE WE CAN GET BACK TO THE COUNCIL WITH WITH THAT, BUT THAT THAT SEEMS MORE LOGICAL TO ME THAT IT WOULD BE THAT NUMBER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COUNCILMAN.

JOHNSON. THANK YOU. MAYOR. WITH THE ADVERTISING OF THIS POSITION, THE CITY MANAGER POSITION, WAS IT ADVERTISED THAT WE WOULD PROVIDE A ONE TIME MOVING ALLOWANCE? NO, THAT WAS A NEGOTIATED ITEM. OKAY. BECAUSE GOING INTO APPLYING FOR THE POSITION, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE TO MOVE TO. SO THAT'S ANOTHER THING.

I APPRECIATE YOU CATCHING IT WITH THE 16,000.

I SEE THIS 10,000 AS NOT NECESSARILY NEEDED. IF I'M APPLYING FOR CALIFORNIA, I KNOW I'M GONNA HAVE TO MOVE THERE IF I DON'T SEE IT IN THEIR APPLICATION, THEN THAT'S SOMETHING OF COURSE, I'M ACCEPTING AS APPLYING FOR THE POSITION, SO I DON'T THINK IT'S NEEDED.

AND THEY COUNCIL SHARE YOUR CONCERNS OR SHARE YOUR COMMENTS, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 336,000 THE FIRST YEAR.

SO. IT WASN'T ADVERTISED, BUT WE'RE DOING IT OKAY.

THANK YOU. NO OTHER SPEAKER CARDS? NO MAYOR. OKAY.

SO. I NEED A MOTION. I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH MATTHEW THOMAS MORTON. WITH THE REMOVAL OF THE ONE TIME MOVING ALLOWANCE AND THE 16,000 FOR THE ICMA.

ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION AND IT DIES. LACK OF A SECOND.

I STILL NEED A MOTION. I WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE SECOND PART OF THE MOTION.

THE 16. WHAT? THIS. I THOUGHT WE CLARIFIED THAT THAT WASN'T THE.

THAT'S WHAT. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE ASKING, MR. MORGAN.

YES. JUST JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, I THINK PERHAPS THE MISUNDERSTANDING FROM MR. BATTEN IS THE THE ICMA IS THE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM THAT THE CITY HAS CONTRACTED WITH FOR ALL OF OUR NON POLICE, FIRE EMPLOYEES.

AND SO THAT THEY HAVE A 457 PLAN, WHICH THE TIER ONE EMPLOYEES HAVE EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS AND EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. AND SO THAT RATE IS FOR NOT THE ICMA MEMBERSHIP THAT IS FOR WHAT IS COMMONLY CALLED ICMA. IT ALSO HAS A REBRANDED NAME THAT MISSION SQUARE.

THANK YOU. SO I THINK THAT IS THE CONFUSION ON THAT ITEM.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS OFFERED TO ALL THE TIER ONE EMPLOYEES.

AND AS PART OF THE TOTAL COMPENSATION THAT IS SHOWN IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.

COUNCILMAN HAMMOND, SPEAKING OF THAT, 457 THAT'S THAT'S ONLY THE MATCH THAT WE GIVE TO THE EMPLOYEE, AND THEY DO NOT RECEIVE THAT BACK UNTIL THEY'RE FULLY VESTED.

CORRECT. THERE IS A WAITING PERIOD FOR ONE OF THE SHOULD BE FIVE YEARS.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF LAURA'S HERE. SO YES. IT THERE IS A WAITING PERIOD FOR, FOR ONE OF THE TWO DEFERRED COMPENSATION.

I DO REMEMBER WHEN I WAS AN EMPLOYEE, YOU HAD TO BE HERE FOR FIVE YEARS BEFORE THERE IS A WAITING PERIOD.

BUT I COULDN'T WITHOUT LAURA HERE. I CAN'T TELL YOU.

I THINK OUR CITY ATTORNEY IS TRYING TO PULL THAT UP.

THANK YOU. OH, WE HAVE WE HAVE OUR DEPUTY. WE HAVE WE HAVE AN ANSWER.

THE VESTING PERIOD FOR GROUP ONE EMPLOYEES IS ACTUALLY 12 MONTHS VERSUS FIVE YEARS ON A SCALE.

ALSO, JUST ONE OTHER CLARIFICATION OR. I'M SORRY.

THANK YOU. OR UPON TURNING AGE 55, WHICHEVER TAKES PLACE FIRST.

THE 457 CONTRIBUTION IN THE CONTRACT IS NOT THE ONE THAT THAT IS JUST FOR.

THE CITY MANAGER IS NOT OFFERED TO ALL GROUP ONE EMPLOYEES.

[02:30:03]

THANK YOU. GENTLEMEN, I NEED A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT WITH THE ONE CHANGE OF THE RELOCATION COST TO BE PAID AFTER 90 DAYS OF EMPLOYMENT.

SECOND. I GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFE.

SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN HAMMER. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, GENTLEMEN? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? PASSES FOUR ZERO. WE ARE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER FIVE.

MR. MORGAN. YES. THIS IS A STUDY OF COMPOUND PREPARED BY A CONSULTANT.

WE RECEIVED A GRANT, AND WE HAVE JOAN GIANCOLA BROWN TO PROVIDE A PRESENTATION TO YOU.

MADAM BROWN. WELCOME. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SO I'M HAPPY TO PRESENT TO YOU A COMPOUND REDEVELOPMENT ACTION PLAN, AS PREPARED AND PROVIDED TO THE CITY BY A SUB CONSULTANT OF THE US EPA. THEY ARE. THEY WERE A FANTASTIC TEAM TO WORK WITH.

I JUST WANT TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. THEY HAD A THREE MONTH CONTRACT TO WORK WITH THE CITY ON A REDEVELOPMENT REVITALIZATION PLAN FOR THE COMPOUND, AND IT WAS QUITE AN UNDERTAKING, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY QUITE KNEW WHAT THEY WERE GETTING INTO. BUT THEY TOOK THE BULL BY THE HORNS AND THEY DID A REALLY GREAT JOB.

SO ON THEIR BEHALF, I'M GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT AN ACTION PLAN.

I AM GOING TO SHARE THAT IT IS IT'S A GREAT PIE IN THE SKY IDEA AND WHETHER IT CAN, YOU KNOW, BE IMPLEMENTED OVER A SERIES OF 5 TO 8 YEARS AS THEY RECOMMEND.

THAT'S TO BE DETERMINED. BUT THEY COME UP WITH A LOT OF REALLY PROACTIVE AND I THINK SOMEWHAT AGGRESSIVE SUGGESTIONS.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL START ON THE FIRST SLIDE HERE.

SO THIS IS JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE THAT THEY PROVIDED.

SO THEY CAME IN AS A CONSULTANT OF THE EPA. THEY WERE GRANTED ABOUT $100,000 TO WORK WITH THE CITY FOR THREE MONTHS AND TO HOLD STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS AND INTERVIEWS WITH VARIOUS PROPERTY OWNERS, CITY EMPLOYEES FROM VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS PARTNERS, RESOURCE PARTNERS LIKE THE EDC, THE FPL, JUST TO NAME A FEW.

AND SO WHAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED IS A GENERAL ASSESSMENT THAT INCLUDES LAND USES, STRATEGIC PLANS ALREADY ADOPTED BY COUNCIL, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES, UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE, BOTH EXISTING AND PROPOSED, AND LOOKING AT WHAT WHAT MIGHT BE NEEDED. TRANSPORTATION PLANS.

THEY'VE CONDUCTED OVER 30 INTERVIEWS WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO INCLUDE BREVARD RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS, I'M SORRY, BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS, OR BRP, AND OTHER SELECT LANDOWNERS SUCH AS DAVID MCCALLUM.

THEY CONDUCTED TWO SITE VISITS TO THE COMPOUND.

THEY TOURED UNITS 51, 52, 53 AND THE ACTION PLAN.

JUST AS AN OVERALL PROVIDES A PHASING PLAN THAT IS AIMED TO PROMOTE JOB CREATION AND PRIVATE CAPITAL INVESTMENT, SPECIFICALLY IN THE COMPOUND, BUT REALLY FOCUSING ON UNIT 53, WHICH, AS YOU KNOW FROM PREVIOUS COMPOUND PRESENTATIONS, IS SORT OF OUR LOW HANGING FRUIT. THEY PROVIDE NEXT STEPS, CONSIDERATIONS AND A HIGH LEVEL FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND DIRECT JOB CREATION ESTIMATES.

SO AGAIN, THIS STUDY REALLY BUILDS UPON THE PREVIOUS STUDIES AND ASSESSMENTS AND ANALYZES THAT THE CITY HAS ALREADY COMMISSIONED.

AND THAT INCLUDES THE STRATEGIC PLAN, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN THAT COUNCIL ADOPTED IN 2023, AND THE FOLLOWING COMPOUND ANALYSIS THAT COUNCIL ADOPTED IN 2024.

SO THEY IDENTIFIED A COUPLE OF STRATEGIES. THE THE GOAL BEING THAT THEY WANT TO ENCOURAGE FURTHER AND FURTHER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE COMPOUND.

UNIT 53. LEVERAGE THE CITY'S EXISTING HIGH TECHNOLOGY SECTOR TO ATTRACT NEW TALENT, BUSINESS AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT.

FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BUSINESS OR INDUSTRIAL PARK IN THE COMPOUND, AGAIN SPECIFICALLY UNIT 53.

THE. THEY IDENTIFIED SOME CHALLENGES, BUT YOU'LL NOTE THAT THE VERY FIRST ONE, PROBABLY THE THE MOST OBVIOUS ONE, IS WHEN WE LOOK AT CREATING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COMPOUND.

ONE OF THE MAJOR CHALLENGES WE HAVE IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE A LARGE MASS OF LAND OF CONTIGUOUS ACRES THAT WE, THE CITY, OWN. NOR IS THERE A LARGE MASS OF LAND THAT ANY ONE DEVELOPER OWNS THAT IS NOT EITHER BIFURCATED BY A ROAD OR

[02:35:06]

SO THIS SLIDE JUST KIND OF PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE.

SO IF THIS WORKS. OKAY, SO HERE'S WHAT IS BAYSIDE LAKES TURNS INTO A BOMBARDIER BOULEVARD.

AND THEN WE HAVE EXISTING ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE.

IF YOU'VE BEEN OUT THERE YOU KNOW IT'S AGING ROADS. THE CITY OWNS APPROXIMATELY 30 ACRES HERE.

TO THE NORTH OF IT IS BRP. AND SO I JUST WANT TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE SPECIFICALLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

AND JUST FOR REFERENCE, EVERYTHING IN THE RED BOX HERE IS UNIT 53, WHERE YOU'LL START TO SEE IN THE ADDITIONAL SLIDES COMING FORTH.

THIS IS THE AREA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THE BLUE PARCELS ARE CITY OWNED PARCELS.

THE GREEN PARCELS ARE PROPERTIES OWNED BY DAVID MOALLEM UNDER VARIOUS ENTITIES.

WHAT COLOR WAS THAT YOU JUST SAID THE TEAL BLUE IS THE CITY AND THE LIME GREEN IS DAVID MO'ALLEM.

THIS SLIDE IS REALLY JUST A REMINDER THAT WE DO HAVE CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE SAINT JOHN'S HERITAGE PARKWAY ALTERNATIVE CORRIDOR EVALUATION THAT WILL RUN THROUGH THE COMPOUND. AND I SHARE THAT SO THAT YOU'RE AWARE THAT AS WE START LOOKING AT THE NEXT SLIDES, YOU'LL CONTINUE TO SEE REFERENCES TO THE FUTURE SAINT JOHN'S HERITAGE PARKWAY CORRIDOR.

JUST SO THAT IT STAYS IN OUR MIND THAT THAT IS PART OF THE FUTURE TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR.

THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR. SO SPECIFICALLY, WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS SECTION HERE, WHICH IS UNIT 53.

AGAIN, AERIAL CONDITIONS JUST FOR AWARENESS. PHASE ONE.

IT IS A LITTLE BIT HARD TO SEE. I'LL TRY TO ZOOM IN, BUT IF YOU HAVE THE PRESENTATION IN FRONT OF YOU, IT'S PROBABLY A BIT HELPFUL GOING BACK.

THIS IS THE CITY OWNED PROPERTY. THIS LAND OWNED BY IS OWNED BY BRP, AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK SO THAT YOU CAN SEE IT IN ITS ENTIRETY.

IT'S THIS PROPERTY RIGHT HERE, BRP. SO A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT.

IN EARLY DISCUSSIONS WITH BRP, THEY HAVE EXPRESSED SOME CONSIDERATION FOR DOING ENTERTAINING INTO A LAND SWAP WITH THE CITY.

THEIR GOAL IS ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE A BUFFER TO ENSURE CONFIDENTIALITY.

AND SO WITH THAT, WE'VE HAD PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS ON WHETHER THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SWAPPING THIS PARCEL FOR THIS BOTTOM SOUTHERN HALF OF THEIR PARCEL. THE NORTHERN HALF OF THEIR PARCEL HAS WETLANDS.

IT'S NOT DEVELOPABLE ANYWAY. OUR PARCEL IS A HAS RESTRICTIONS FOR CONSERVATION.

AND SO WE COULDN'T DEVELOP ON IT ANYWAY. SO IF WE WERE TO ENGAGE IN A LAND TRANSFER LAND SWAP, THEY WOULD HAVE THOSE SAME RESTRICTIONS. SO JUST SHARING THAT FOR A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT BECAUSE THAT COULD COME UP TONIGHT. YOU'LL ALSO NOTE, AND I'M GOING TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME ON PHASE ONE, BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE A LOT OF THE THE DETAILS ARE. YOU ALSO NOTE THAT THERE'S THAT SAINT JOHN'S HERITAGE PARKWAY CORRIDOR. UNDERNEATH THAT LAYER YOU'LL SEE A BLUE COLOR THAT'S CITY OWNED PROPERTY.

YOU'LL SEE A MUSTARD COLOR. THAT IS DAVID MCCALLUM.

THE INTENT IS FOR THE CITY TO SECURE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE COMPOUND OR FOR THE FUTURE SAINT JOHN'S HERITAGE PARKWAY.

SO THEY'VE TAKEN THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. THEY'VE HIRED STAFF AND THEY'VE KIND OF RESERVED IT FOR THAT FUTURE USE.

BOTH THE ROADWAY AND STORMWATER TO THE WEST SIDE OF THAT IS ACTUALLY AN FPL CORRIDOR.

FPL EASEMENT AND THE MELBOURNE TILLMAN CANAL.

EVERYTHING FURTHER TO THE WEST OF THAT IS REALLY MARSH WETLANDS, NOT REALLY DEVELOPABLE.

IT IS OWNED BY VARIOUS PROPERTY OWNERS, JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE COMPOUND.

BUT REALISTICALLY, IT'S NOT DEVELOPABLE. FOCUSING ON THIS YEAR.

THIS IS THEIR CALLING PHASE ONE AND WHAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED.

AND I'VE GOT TO LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THAT ON THE SCREEN.

WHAT THEY'VE PROVIDED IS A SERIES OF. COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, FLEX SPACE, R&D SPACE THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO PROVIDE ECONOMIC GROWTH JOBS, PRIVATE CAPITAL INVESTMENT, TAX REVENUE FOR THE CITY.

[02:40:05]

THERE ARE ALSO INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE LAND AND THEY'RE SAYING, WELL, WE'VE GOT TO FACTOR IN WETLANDS AND BUFFERS AND A SUBSTATION AND PARKING.

AND SO THEY'VE ALREADY KIND OF TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AT A VERY, VERY HIGH LEVEL, OTHER LAND CONSIDERATIONS BESIDES JUST PLOPPING A CONCRETE STRUCTURE ON THE SITE. SO I DID APPRECIATE THAT ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE DONE.

OH THANK YOU BRIAN. THAT'S GREAT. NOW CAN YOU SCROLL DOWN TO THE LITTLE TABLE? THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. SO THAT IS AGAIN JUST A HIGH LEVEL OF HOW THEY HAVE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF A PHASE ONE BUSINESS INDUSTRIAL PARK.

AGAIN IT'S VERY AGGRESSIVE. IT'S VERY PROACTIVE.

IT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE MORE THAN 5 TO 8 YEARS IN MY OPINION.

IT DOES PROVIDE THEY SET ASIDE IF WE CAN ZOOM OUT.

BRIAN. IT DOES PROVIDE FOR. A FUTURE FPL SUBSTATION.

IN OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH FPL, THEY'VE STATED UNLESS YOU GET A MAJOR POWER USER USER IN PHASE 1 OR 2, THE CURRENT SUBSTATION WILL MEET THE NEEDS IN THE COMPOUND.

HOWEVER, AS THE COMPOUND GROWS BEYOND UNIT 53, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A SUBSTATION.

THEY WANT AND PREFER TO BE ADJACENT TO THEIR FPL EASEMENT, THEIR FPL CORRIDOR, NATURALLY.

SO WE'VE KIND OF LOOKED AT THAT. IT'S PLACED PLACE THERE, BUT JUST KNOW THAT THAT'S SORT OF A PLACEHOLDER.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS THAT AND I SHOULD PROBABLY STICK TO MY NOTES.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS THAT ARE FACTORED INTO THIS DESIGN ARE ASSUMPTIONS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH EXISTING PROPERTY OWNERS, SUCH AS DAVID MCCALLUM. DISCUSSIONS ON WHETHER THERE'D BE AMENABLE TO ADMINISTRATIVE REZONING OF HIS PARCELS FOR COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL USE.

LAND SWAPS USING EXISTING ROADWAYS. IDENTIFYING USERS THAT WOULDN'T BE HIGH TRAFFIC GENERATORS BECAUSE, AGAIN, YOU'VE GOT SORT OF ONE WAY IN, ONE WAY OUT AND THAT'S BAYSIDE LAKES BOULEVARD.

SO I'M GOING TO MOVE ON FROM THIS SLIDE. BUT WHAT I WILL SHARE IS AS AS YOU GO INTO PHASE TWO THROUGH FOUR, TWO IS ADDING AN ADDITIONAL 40,000FT² OF R&D AND FLEX SPACE.

PHASE THREE IS MOVING FURTHER TO THE EAST AND ADDING ANOTHER 120,000FT² OF R&D AND FLEX SPACE.

AND FINALLY, PHASE FOUR. THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A TOTAL BUILD OUT OF 960,000FT² OF COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, FLEX SPACE R&D SPACE. AND THEN FINALLY, PHASE FIVE IS LOOKING AT ADDING THAT THE RECREATION CONSERVATION OPEN SPACE. SO ALL GREAT RIGHT.

GREAT IDEAS. IS IT FEASIBLE. THIS IS A SUMMARY OF ALL THE PHASES.

IT INCLUDES ALL OF THE VARIOUS USES OF THE LAND PROPOSED.

IT INCLUDES THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SQUARE FEET, WHICH IS NEARLY A MILLION.

IT'S A TOTAL OF 86 ACRES, WHICH WHEN WE'VE TALKED WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, WHAT THEY'VE SHARED WITH US IS PALM BAY IS ONE OF THE ONLY COMMUNITIES IN BREVARD THAT ACTUALLY HAS RAW, VACANT LAND AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT. AND THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE, EVEN IN PALM BAY, IS FINDING CONTIGUOUS LAND.

SO THEY'RE. THEY'RE TELLING US 25 TO 50 ACRES IS IDEAL.

THAT'S KIND OF HOW THE CONSULTANT TOOK THAT CONCEPT AND MADE IT EVEN BIGGER THAN 25 TO 50 ACRES.

THEY'RE LOOKING AT HOW DO WE GET MORE THAN JUST ONE USER TO THE COMPOUND TO REALLY MAKE IT WORTH THE INVESTMENT? THEY HAVE PROVIDED AN ESTIMATED COST AND THEY HAVE PROVIDED AN ESTIMATED VALUE AT COMPLETION.

AND OF COURSE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE VARIOUS KEY ASSUMPTIONS IN HOW THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT BASED ON MARKET MARKET CONDITIONS, THEY HAD THEIR OWN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT AS PART OF THE TEAM THAT PROVIDED THESE STUDIES.

AND THAT'S ALL PART OF THE APPENDICES IN THE STUDY.

THEY ALSO PROVIDED ADDITIONAL KEY TAKEAWAYS. IT DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY INDIRECT BENEFITS OR INCENTIVES THAT THE CITY OR OTHERWISE MIGHT OFFER.

IT DOES NOT FACTOR IN CASH ON CASH FLOW AND WILL NEED TO BE STRONGER FOR THE FOR PROFIT DEVELOPER.

OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS PROBABLY SOMETHING BETTER LEFT TO THE PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

LONG TERM PLAY AT COMPLETION VALUE MAY BE LOWER THAN COST DEPENDING ON MARKET CONDITIONS.

TIMING WILL NEED TO BE FACTORED FOR A HIGHER LEVEL ANALYSIS.

AGAIN, THIS IS 30,000 FOOT VIEW AND INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS WILL NEED TO BE ABSORBED ELSEWHERE BECAUSE AS WE KNOW, OUR IMPACT FEES DO NOT REALLY ABSORB THE FULL COST FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.

[02:45:08]

IT ALSO DOES NOT FACTOR IN ANY IMPACT FEE COLLECTION FOR PARKS, POLICE, FIRE, OTHER TRANSPORTATION.

THEY PROVIDED A SET OF ADDITIONAL NEXT STEPS CONSIDERATIONS.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THIS ALREADY BEFORE IN PREVIOUS COMPOUND PRESENTATIONS.

SO MOST OF THIS IS PROBABLY NOT NEW TO ANY OF YOU.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IF WE'RE REALLY GOING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WE WOULD NEED TO DO IT AS A MASTER PLAN.

WE YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO JUST KIND OF THROW EVERYTHING AT IT.

WE REALLY SHOULD GO IN A PHASED APPROACH AND BE VERY STRATEGIC ABOUT IT.

WE WOULD NEED TO UPDATE OUR FUTURE LAND USE. WE WOULD NEED TO UPDATE THE ZONING.

WE WOULD NEED TO UPDATE OUR STUDIES FOR STORMWATER AND DRAINAGE RESERVE RIGHTS OF WAY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR BOTH THE ROAD AND THE STORMWATER ASSOCIATED WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE. CONDUCT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS, WHICH IS NOT.

ATYPICAL OF DEVELOPING A PROPERTY. HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE A BROWNFIELDS GRANT THAT WE COULD TAP INTO FOR THAT.

WE WOULD WANT TO EXPLORE LAND SWAPS WITH BRP AND OTHER USERS AS WILLING TO EXPLORE ACQUISITION.

AND FINALLY, WE MIGHT NEED TO LOOK AT REDESIGNATING CERTAIN PARCELS THAT HAVE A CONSERVATION EASEMENT OR DEED RESTRICTION, BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU REALLY CAN'T GET THAT FULL CONTIGUOUS ACREAGE.

MOVING ON TO INFRASTRUCTURE. WE KNOW THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE OUT THERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT.

WE KNOW ROADS AND UTILITIES WILL NEED TO BE INVESTED, WHETHER BY CITY, BY PRIVATE DEVELOPERS, BY A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP, BY SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS, WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE.

THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE CITY TO EXPLORE GRANTS.

NOW WE'LL TELL YOU, WE HAD A LENGTHY CONVERSATION ABOUT THE EDA GRANT, AND I KNOW YOU GUYS PROBABLY KNOW THIS, BUT I TRY TO ALWAYS REMIND PEOPLE THE EDA GRANT IS GREAT, BUT YOU DO HAVE TO HAVE AN END USER.

SO WE RECEIVED AN EDA GRANT IN THE PAST. OUR END USER WAS HARRIS.

THIS WAS THE REALIGNMENT, THE REALIGNMENT OF TROUTMAN BOULEVARD, I BELIEVE. SO THAT'S THE CAVEAT, YOU KNOW, WHICH ONE DO YOU DO FIRST? FINALLY, WE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS, AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME FOLKS IN THE ROOM THAT MIGHT BRING THIS UP AS WELL, BUT WHETHER COUNCIL HAS A DESIRE TO DO A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT.

AND THEN FINALLY, JUST MAKING SURE WE'RE CONSIDERING FPL AND THEIR SUBSTATION NEEDS AND OUR POWER NEEDS IN THE COMPOUND.

MARKETING AND REBRANDING. SO IF WE'RE REALLY LOOKING TO REDEVELOP THE COMPOUND, WE PROBABLY SHOULD MAYBE STOP CALLING IT THE COMPOUND.

MAYBE WE LOOK AT REBRANDING IT, MARKETING IT AS A DESTINATION FOR BUSINESS.

INDUSTRIAL USERS. MAJOR EMPLOYERS. UNIVERSITY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.

YOU KNOW THE GAMUT. AND THEN FINALLY, YOU KNOW, THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPOUND IS GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE OF CONSIDERATIONS, WHETHER IT'S THE CITY IN COORDINATION WITH THE EDC, A PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT, A PRIVATE DEVELOPER OR PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP.

THAT'S MY HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW. ON BEHALF OF THE CONSULTANT, BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL. COUNCILMAN. HEM.

SO HAVE YOU DISCUSSED WITH BOMBARDIER? IF WE DO THAT LAND SWAP, ARE THEY GOING TO LEAVE THAT PROPERTY IN THE FRONT VACANT OR ARE THEY GOING TO MOVE MANUFACTURING HERE? THEY WOULD LEAVE IT VACANT.

THEY REQUIRE VACANT. YEAH OKAY. AND MY OTHER THING IS I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU, TO EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN THIS. THIS IS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S 20 YEARS IN THE MAKING.

I'M 45 YEARS OLD, AND MY FIRST, MY FIRST DAY THAT MY DAD LET ME DRIVE ALONE WHEN I WAS 16 YEARS OLD.

HIS FIRST RULE WAS, DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU AT THE COMPOUND.

SO TO BE PART OF OF THIS STEP FORWARD IN SEEING THIS IS SO HUGE FOR ME.

IT'S SO HUGE FOR A LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY.

AND I THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT YOU'VE PUT IN.

YOU'VE YOU TWO OR EVERYBODY INVOLVED HAS BEEN AMAZING.

AND I THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFE.

YEAH, I THINK I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK WENT INTO THIS.

I COMMEND THAT ESPECIALLY FOR YOU. IT'S VERY, VERY WELL DONE.

GREAT PRESENTATION. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I AGREE WITH THE REBRAND AND I THINK IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

[02:50:03]

I THINK THAT'S THE KEY FOR EVERYTHING. I DON'T INDUSTRIAL WOULD WOULDN'T EVEN GO OUT THERE UNLESS THEY HAD QUICK ACCESS TO I-95.

I DO SEE IT, YOU KNOW, WITH THE PARKLAND. I THINK INDUSTRIAL COULD BE SUCCESSFUL OUT THERE.

BUT UNTIL THE PARKWAY ACTUALLY EXISTS, I THINK IT'S MUCH LONGER THAN A 5 TO 8 YEAR REACH.

I THINK FOR THE COMPOUND TO BE SUCCESSFUL, I THINK IT WOULD TAKE A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AND MULTIPLE DEVELOPERS AND A SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT TO PAY FOR ALL THE UTILITIES AND SERVICES THAT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED OUT THERE. AND THE CITY SHOULDN'T BE A DEVELOPER.

WE'RE NOT GOOD AT DEVELOPING AND SHOULD PARTNER WITH THE PROFESSIONALS THAT KNOW HOW TO GET IT DONE.

SO THAT'S MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU. MY COMMENTS ARE THAT THIS IS A PLAN, RIGHT? FOR YEARS. AND I HEAR WHAT COUNCILMAN HAMMER IS SAYING FOR YEARS.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE LEADERSHIP HAS NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT.

AND THIS IS THIS IS A STEP FORWARD. THIS IS. THIS IS A VISION.

WITHOUT A VISION, WE'RE GOING TO PERISH. AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A WAY TO GO.

WHEN WE ASKED YOU TO TO DWELL INTO THIS. WE ASKED YOU TO TAKE ON THIS TASK, AND WE GAVE YOU SOME SOME DIRECTION. WE WANT A STRATEGIC PLAN. AND YOU PARTNERED.

AND THIS IS WHAT YOU BROUGHT BACK. SO KUDOS TO YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW IT WAS A LOT OF WORK.

TO TO THE ARGUMENT OF THE INDUSTRIAL PARK WORKING, I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A PORTION OF OUR LAND THAT WE NEED TO INVEST IN.

THE LAND SWAP IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, RIGHT? THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT STEP.

AND AND I'M I'M ALL FOR THAT. ALSO, WE WE NEED TO POLICE OUR OWN.

SO WE CAN'T SAY COME TO THE COMPOUND IF WE'RE NOT INVESTING IN OUR IN OUR OWN.

I DO WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WE SHOULD START NAMING IT SOMETHING ELSE.

WE SHOULD START MARKETING THAT YESTERDAY, RIGHT? I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT. SO WHATEVER THAT IS, MAYBE STRATEGICALLY WE COULD GET A TEAM GOING TO START CALLING IT SOMETHING ELSE.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE START MARKETING AND WE START BUILDING THAT VISION ON THAT.

BUT I AM VERY SUPPORTIVE OF OF THIS PLAN. AND I THINK IT'S IT'S TAKING AN OPPORTUNITY AND MAKING AN OPPORTUNITY.

AND DESPITE THE CHALLENGES FOR DECADES, THIS IS A HOW DO YOU EAT AN ELEPHANT? ONE BITE AT A TIME. AND I THINK THIS IS A GREAT BITE IF YOU ASK ME.

ACTUALLY, WE'VE TAKEN A FEW BITES BECAUSE WE GOT TO THIS POINT.

RIGHT. SO KUDOS TO YOU, MA'AM. I KNOW THAT YOU'VE TAKEN THIS ON.

IT'S YOU'VE DEVOTED SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT, AND I LOVE THE VISION THAT HAS COME ABOUT THROUGH THIS.

THE WHOLE SWAP EXCHANGE, THE LAND EXCHANGE THE VISION OF THAT INDUSTRIAL PARK TO YOUR ARGUMENT, SIR, I AGREE WE NEED TO FOCUS ON BRINGING THAT YOU KNOW, THAT THAT THE SOUTH HERITAGE PARKWAY TO START CONNECTING ON THAT. AND THAT'S ANOTHER ARGUMENT, RIGHT? THAT'S ANOTHER VISION WITH THE TPO AND ELEVATING THAT.

BUT THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US. DO WE HAVE SPEAKER CARDS? MA'AM, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU. BILL.

BATTEN. BILL BATTEN, 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST. I'VE GOT FIVE ITEMS TO ADDRESS WITH THIS ITEM.

NUMBER ONE, SAINT JOHNS HERITAGE PARKWAY NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE YOU EVEN START CONSIDERING ANY OF YOUR BUILDING GOING ON OUT THERE, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE CITY.

YOU START BUILDING STUFF AND ALL THE TRAFFIC STILL GETS ROUTED THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF CITY OF PALM BAY ON ON LOCAL ROADS INSTEAD OF COLLECTOR ROADS.

THAT'S NUMBER ONE, SAINT JOHN'S HERITAGE PARKWAY.

BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER THIS TWO FUNDING SOURCE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE, WE CAN'T WE CAN'T FUND PAVING OF OUR OWN ROADS WITHOUT WITHOUT A $150 MILLION DOLLAR BOND FROM THE RESIDENTS TO PAVE OUR ROADS.

BUT WE'RE CONSIDERING HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS. KEEP IN PERSPECTIVE WHAT OUR GROWTH IS.

WE WRITE ITEM NUMBER THREE. WHAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE IS WE SEE THIS GRAND IDEA OUT HERE IN THE COMPOUND.

RIGHT. AND EVERYBODY SAYS, OH, THAT'S GREAT. THERE'S GOING TO BE OUR INDUSTRIAL AREA.

AND WHAT HAPPENS THEN? YOU'LL START SEEING STUFF LIKE OSPREY LANDING, WHICH IS ALREADY OUR INDUSTRIAL 200 ACRES OF INDUSTRIAL ZONED LAND RIGHT NEXT TO THE COMPOUND. AND YOU'LL SAY, WELL, LET'S CONVERT THAT TO HOUSING, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S ALREADY IN YOUR PROPOSALS NOW.

[02:55:02]

SO DON'T START SAYING, OH, LET'S BUILD HOUSES.

ITEM NUMBER FOUR NAMING IT. AND THIS COULD JUST BE YOUR MARKETING CONCEPT, I DON'T KNOW MARKETING BY CALLING IT PORT MALABAR BUSINESS PARK. PORT MALABAR IS AT THE NORTH END OF PALM BAY.

SO WHY ARE WE GOING TO START ASSOCIATING NORTH END OF PALM BAY WITH THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF PALM BAY? LET'S GET SOMETHING THAT AT LEAST IS GOING TO SAY WHERE IT'S LOCATED.

AND ITEM NUMBER FIVE, LAST ONE. THIS IS GREAT.

A LOT OF ENERGY, EFFORT AND SOME SOME CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS AND CONVERSATION CAME INTO PLAY.

I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER ONE THING VERY IMPORTANT, BECAUSE THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND HOW GOOD IT WAS GOING TO BE FOR THE CITY.

IT WAS GOING TO BE OUR SAVE ALL SOLUTION WAS A PLACE CALLED EMERALD LAKES.

SAME CONCEPT, SAME IDENTICAL PRESENTATIONS WERE BEING PRESENTED ON HOW WE WERE GOING TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERSTATE.

IT WAS GOING TO SOLVE ALL OF OUR BUSINESS CONCEPT.

I DON'T SEE ANY OF THOSE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS UP THERE.

I DON'T SEE ANY OF THE MEDICAL FIELDS UP THERE. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BRINGING IT BACK IN.

SO DON'T DON'T JUMP AND PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET WITH THIS ONE.

REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED WITH EMERALD LAKES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, KIM ROZANKA.

GOOD EVENING. MAYOR. MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL, KIM ROZANKA WITH THE LAW FIRM OF LACEY ROZANKA.

I'M IN WICKHAM ROAD IN MELBOURNE NOW. I THINK IT'S AN AMAZING PLAN.

I DO. I THINK IT'S A 100,000 LEVEL PLAN. NOT EVEN A 20,000 LEVEL PLAN.

IT'S A GREAT CONCEPT, BUT I THINK IT NEEDS A LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY CHALLENGES OUT THERE.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A DESIGN CONTRACTOR WHO IS INTERESTED IN BRINGING UTILITIES AND IMPROVING THE ROADS IN ALL OF THE COMPOUND.

I'VE BEEN AWARE OF THIS PLAN FOR A WHILE, SO WE'VE WORKED AROUND THIS INDUSTRIAL CONCEPT AREA, AND I'M HOPING TO BRING A PRESENTATION TO YOU ON MAY 15TH.

HE'S A SITE CONTRACTOR, UTILITY CONTRACTOR, AND THE IDEA IS TO DEVELOP SOME OF THIS TO THE EAST AND THEN FURTHER TO THE TO THE NORTH OR SOUTH WITH THE RESIDENCES THAT ARE THERE. AND THE CONCEPT IS TO USE YOUR SPECIAL ASSESSMENT.

AND THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT IS ONLY PAID BY THOSE WHO LIVE THERE, WHO HAVE OWNERSHIP THERE.

SO WE'LL BE COMING TO YOU HOPEFULLY IN MAY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS THIS AND I BRING THIS UP BECAUSE THEY DO TALK ABOUT THE 2700 DIFFERENT PROPERTY OWNERS. THERE IS ABOUT 900 JUST IN THE PORT MALABAR UNIT 53, AND MY CLIENT OWNS SOME.

HE'S BEEN WORKING WITH MR. ALLEN TO POSSIBLY BUY SOME OF HIS.

HE HAS FAMILY HERE IN PALM BAY. HE WORKS UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES.

BUT HE IS INTERESTED IN HELPING PALM BAY, AND HE'LL BE HERE WITH ME AS WELL.

THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS WITH THIS PLAN.

BECAUSE THE UTILITIES AND THE ROADS. BUT A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT CAN MANAGE THAT.

WE'RE WORKING WITH JAKE WEISS AND CEG TO COME UP WITH AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT A PER LOT COST WOULD BE TO DEVELOP THE RESIDENTIAL, NOT IN YOUR INDUSTRIAL AREA THAT YOU'VE DEFINED, BUT BUT NEXT TO IT.

SO THE CONCERNS I HAVE WITH THIS AND WHAT'S WHAT WHAT MR. BROWN DIDN'T SAY, BUT IT'S IN YOUR REPORT, IS YOU HAVE TO FIND A NEED.

YOU HAVE TO SOLICIT PEOPLE THAT WANT TO COME HERE. THAT'S NOT BEEN DONE YET.

THE REPORT SAYS THE ACTIVITY AND DEMAND IN THIS AREA IS QUOTE UNQUOTE, NOT ROBUST.

ALSO SAYS THERE'S FLAT TO NEGATIVE DEMAND. IS IS PERSPECTIVE IN THIS AREA AT LEAST FOR THIS YEAR.

AND THAT RENT GROWTH HAS SLOWED. SO YOU ALL DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE BUSINESS OBVIOUSLY.

BUT GETTING A DEVELOPER TO COME IN AND DO THIS IS GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE. THE OTHER CHALLENGES ARE ALSO THE LAND ACQUISITION, THE PLANNING, THE COST ESTIMATING AND THE TIMING.

AGAIN, I THINK IT'S A GREAT PLAN. THIS WORKS WITH EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT ALSO WITH THE SAINT JOHN HARRIS PARKWAY.

IF THAT DOESN'T COME, THEN IT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.

BUT WE DO. MY CLIENT DOES WANT TO DEVELOP SOME OF THE HOMES ON THE QUARTER ACRE LOTS, BRINGING SEWER WATER, REDEVELOPING THE ROADS, ALL OF THAT TO MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE TO THOSE THAT DO COME TO THE AREA.

SO I LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING TO YOU AGAIN IN MAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER. DAVID NOLAN. GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR. CITY COUNCIL. DAVID MORGAN. 1663 GEORGIA STREET NORTHEAST.

[03:00:03]

WE NEED TWO THINGS. SAINT JOHN HERITAGE PARKWAY.

WITHOUT IT, NO INDUSTRIAL COMPANY IS GOING TO CONSIDER.

THEY CAN LOOK AT IT. THEY'RE GOING TO WALK AWAY FROM IT.

WE NEED ACCESS. SECONDLY, WE NEED INFRASTRUCTURE.

THE UTILITIES. IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, NO COMPANY IS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL YOU PUT IT IN.

THEY WANT SHOVEL READY. GO WITH DONALD TRUMP TRYING TO BRING INDUSTRY TO AMERICA.

THERE IS A BIG MOVEMENT IN THE A SPACE COAST, BREVARD COUNTY.

WE HAVE A LOT OF TALENT. WE HAVE A LOT OF EDUCATED, INDUSTRIAL, HIGH TECH.

WE CAN BRING THEM IN. IF WE CAN TAP INTO THE ENVIRONMENT THAT IS IN WASHINGTON, SEE IF THEY CAN HELP US.

I SAW A THING OVER HERE. IT SAYS FAST FIXING AMERICA'S SURFACE TRANSPORTATION.

DO THEY HAVE ANY MONEY OVER THERE? YOU KNOW, CAN WE GET THIS? BELTWAY. BECAUSE THAT'S THE KEY. WE CAN BRING THE UTILITIES, BUT THE BELTWAY IS THE KEY.

IT'S ONLY 14 MILES. THE OTHER THING IS THAT YOU'VE GOT 85 ACRES THAT YOU GOT TO DO A BUNCH OF LAND SWAPS THAT POSSIBLY THEY CAN DO AN INDUSTRIAL PARK. I GOT 100 ACRES IN KOGAN BINGHAM PARTNERSHIP, WHICH I'M BASICALLY 100% OWNER OF THAT PARTNERSHIP. NOW. I CAN ADD THAT TO YOUR INDUSTRIAL AMMUNITION.

SO YOU HAVE A LOT MORE ACREAGE. JUST I HAVE ONE REQUEST THAT IF YOU DID A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

THE ZONING GOT TO BE ALSO ACCOMMODATE COMMERCIAL AND POSSIBLY MULTIFAMILY BECAUSE IN CASE THE.

INDUSTRIAL DOESN'T HAPPEN, I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK OVER THERE AND KEEP ON PAYING PROPERTY TAXES.

SO I SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE IT BECAUSE BEYOND UNIT 53 THAT WE ARE JUST HAD THE STUDY OVER HERE.

THERE IS A 52 AND 51, AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF HOUSING BUILT OVER THERE.

THEY'RE ALREADY PLATTED. SO THAT'S MY $0.02. YOU NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON THE BELTWAY AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

THEN IT WILL ALL COME TOGETHER. YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO DO ANYTHING.

YOU KNOW, THE DEVELOPERS WOULD BE ALL OVER YOU.

YOU KNOW THE COMPANIES WOULD BE ALL OVER YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER. NO MORE CARDS, MAYOR.

OKAY, COUNCIL, WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE? I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE COMPOUND REDEVELOPMENT ACTION PLAN AS PREPARED BY VITA NUOVA, WITH THE TERMS OF REQUESTING STAFF TO COME BACK WITH A PLAN INCORPORATING THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS WITH TIMELY STANDARDS AND A BUDGET. I'LL SECOND THAT FOR DISCUSSION. WHAT WHAT WHAT DO YOU ENVISION? WELL, I SEE EVERYTHING THAT THEY LISTED. AND, YOU KNOW, WE COULD SAY MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A COST. WE DON'T HAVE A PRICE TO ANY OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

SO I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, HIGH PRIORITY, WHAT COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 100,000, YOU KNOW, FOOT VIEW.

SO LET'S LOOK AT WHAT COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH WHAT AMOUNT OF MONEY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAINT JOHN HERITAGE PARKWAY, THAT'S GOING TO BE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOMETHING LIKE A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP TO DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFE'S POINT.

BUT LET'S LOOK AT THE COST. LET'S LOOK AT THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

LET'S LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN DO. I THINK IT GOES ALSO IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR ON THE TPO AND HOW WE CAN ELEVATE THE, THE STRATEGIC BUILDING OF THE SAINT JOHNS HERITAGE PARKWAY AND WRAPPING IT AROUND TO THE INTERCHANGE.

RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S GOING TO THAT'S A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO THAT.

SO WE HAVE THREE POSITIONS ON THE TPO. AND WE COULD WE DEFINITELY NEED TO STRESS THAT PRIORITY.

RIGHT. AND HOW WE WE MOVE ALONG WITH THAT BECAUSE THERE IS A VISION.

THE VISION. AND THE REASON I SECONDED YOUR MOTION IS BECAUSE WE CAN'T JUST GO ON.

IT HAS TO BE A CERTAIN WAY. IT'S BEEN GOING ON LIKE THAT FOR 37 YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.

RIGHT. SO THE VISION'S GOT TO BE WE WE INITIATED THIS, AND NOW WE'RE MOVING FORWARD TO DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFE'S POINT AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT IT'S LIKE THE THE LOWEST HANGING FRUIT IS THE VISION, RIGHT?

[03:05:06]

THAT THAT THAT'S GOTTA BE I LOVE THE LAND SWAP OPPORTUNITIES.

AND THERE ARE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE THE VISION ALONG WITH THE SAINT JOHN'S.

AND THAT'S WHY SECOND, YOUR YOUR MOTION, SIR, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT WE'VE GIVEN STAFF THIS DIRECTION, WE'VE INVESTED IN THIS DIRECTION. AND I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO MOVE THE BALL FORWARD, JUST PRIORITIZING, UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A GOOD VISION.

AND MOREOVER, WE NEED TO GET THAT THEIR ROAD COMPLETED AND ELEVATED.

AND I THINK THAT'LL PIQUE SOME INTEREST. AND I THINK THAT COULD CREATE SOME PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS.

I BELIEVE COUNCILMAN OR DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFEE FIRST.

AND THEN COUNCILMAN. HAMMER. I THINK STAFF SHOULD TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH MR. MOALLEM AND START HAVING SOME SERIOUS CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT THE WHAT THOSE LAND SWAPS WOULD LOOK LIKE.

IN ADDITION TO THE PARKWAY. I DON'T THINK ANY OF THIS IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT A VERY, VERY STRONG ECONOMIC GROWTH.

DIRECTOR. INTERNAL GROWTH DIRECTOR. THAT'S THAT'S HIRED BY THE CITY.

AND AND AGAIN, THE COMPOUND AND I AND, YOU KNOW, I SIT ON THE TPO BOARD AND IT EVERYTHING'S SLOW. IT'S VERY, VERY SLOW. AND I THINK WE NEED TO START APPLYING MORE PRESSURE ON OUR CONGRESSMEN AND OUR AND OUR STATE LEGISLATORS.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE EXPERIENCED 20 YEARS OF GROWTH IN FOUR YEARS BECAUSE OF COVID, AND THAT'S JUST SIMPLY NOT FAIR.

I MEAN, WE HAD A GREAT GOVERNOR WHO KEPT OUR STATE OPEN, BUT AS A RESULT OF THAT, OUR RESIDENTS ARE SUFFERING.

AND I PERSONALLY FEEL, YOU KNOW, THE CITY OF PALM BAY IS AT LEAST $1 BILLION DEFICIT AND IMPROVEMENTS IN INFRASTRUCTURE AND ROADS.

AND WITHOUT THE PARKWAY, IT JUST WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO DEVELOP ANY FURTHER WEST, BECAUSE ALL THAT TRAFFIC IS JUST GOING TO INFILL ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CITY LIMITS.

SO I DON'T KNOW, NECESSARILY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO, TO ACTUALLY ACCEPT THIS PLAN.

I STILL THINK IT NEEDS WORK. I THINK IT NEEDS TO MEETINGS WITH STAKEHOLDERS.

I THINK I THINK AN RFP PROCESS SHOULD BE PART OF THIS PART OF THE TOP PART OF THE PLAN.

AND I DON'T KNOW, I'M JUST CONCERNED WITHOUT WITHOUT THE PARKWAY AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO SET OURSELVES UP FOR FAILURE.

COUNCILMAN HIM. I THINK WE'RE ALSO FORGETTING IN TWO WEEKS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY SITTING UP HERE THAT ACTUALLY SPECIALIZES IN STUFF LIKE THIS.

SO I WOULD, I, I LOVE, I LOVE COUNCILMAN OR COUNCILMAN JOHNSON'S IDEA OF, OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO ALL I MEAN, I KNOW YOU GUYS DON'T LIKE WORKSHOPS, BUT I THINK IN JULY OR AUGUST WE DO NEED TO HAVE A SIT DOWN AND WE NEED TO WE NEED TO ACTUALLY DESIGNATE TIME TO GET A GOOD FOOT FORWARD ON THIS, GET EVERYTHING THAT OUR NEW CITY MANAGER IS GOING TO BRING IN, TAKE THESE OPTIONS THAT WERE GIVEN HERE BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE WE'RE ACCEPTING IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO FOLLOW IT.

WE'RE JUST ACCEPTING BEING ABLE TO USE IT. AND THAT'S I'M IN APPROVAL OF THAT.

I LIKE THE I LIKE THE IDEA OF, OF I MEAN, I AM EXTREMELY WOWED BY WHAT OUR STAFF HAS DONE SO FAR.

AND I THINK WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OUR STAFF CAN DO CAN CAN PROVIDE WHAT WE NEED, ESPECIALLY IF WE DO HAVE AN ACTUAL DISCUSSION OR DISCUSSION THAT'S FOCUSED ON THIS.

I THINK MR. MARTIN'S GOING TO BRING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LIGHT TO THE TABLE.

HE'S GOING TO BRING IDEAS THAT HAVE WORKED IN THE PAST.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY SPECIALIZE IN STUFF LIKE THIS.

SO I THINK WE'RE I THINK WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD A HOUSE WITHOUT THE TOOLS RIGHT NOW.

AND WE HAVE THE BLUEPRINTS AND WE HAVE THE BUILDER COMING.

HE'S JUST NOT HERE YET. SO I DO I DO AGREE WITH MOVING FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT THIS JUST GIVES US MORE, MORE TOOLS TO GIVE TO MR. MARTIN WHEN HE ACTUALLY PUTS HIS BELT ON.

YOU KNOW, BASED ON THE COMMENTS, I BELIEVE WE'RE ALL IN AGREEMENT THAT THERE'S A VISION HERE.

AND THIS ISN'T BINDING OUR HANDS, BUT THERE'S PART OF OF THOSE LAND SWAP DISCUSSIONS WITH STAKEHOLDERS LIKE YOU MENTIONED, DEPUTY MAYOR, WHERE WE CAN SPEAK WITH MR. MOE ALLEN.

HE APPEARS TO BE WILLING TO DO SOME LAND SWAPS.

BUT THIS IS PART OF THE THE DISCUSSION IS WE'RE WE'VE BEEN PRESENTED SOMETHING, AND LET'S START MOVING AND MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION AS OPPOSED TO NOT DOING ANYTHING.

AGAIN, I WANT TO COMMEND STAFF FOR THE HARD WORK, THE TIME DEDICATED AND EVERYONE THAT WAS INVOLVED TO GET US UP TO THIS POINT.

[03:10:04]

AND SO I COMMENCED THAT. SO RIGHT NOW I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY MAYOR MEDINA.

I'M CALLING THE QUESTION. ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL OPPOSED. SIGNIFY BY SAYING NAY. PASSES FOUR ZERO.

WE ARE NOW ON COUNCIL REPORTS. AND, GENTLEMEN, UNLIKE ANY OTHER TIME, I'M GOING TO LEAD THE COUNCIL REPORTS BECAUSE I'M USUALLY LAST.

[COMMITTEE AND COUNCIL REPORTS:]

SO THAT THAT'S THAT'S COMPLETED. THEN I WANTED TO JUST SHARE WITH OUR COMMUNITY.

DID EVERYONE CHECK OUT THE NEWS IN SPACE COAST DAILY? BECAUSE OF A FLAWED CAMERA, WE WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT KILLED SOMEONE AND THEN STABS SOMEONE AND ASSAULTED TWO WOMEN. COMES TO PALM BAY. HEY, ALL OF Y'ALL OUT THERE THAT MEAN TO DO HARM.

YOU COME TO THE BAY, YOU'RE GOING TO PAY. SO ALL I GOT TO SAY IS THOSE FLYING CAMERAS PAID A SIGNIFICANT PRICE IN SAVING THE LIFE OF OUR CITIZENS. AND. AND HE WAS ARRESTED AT CUMBERLAND FARMS RIGHT DOWN THE STREET, GENTLEMEN. RIGHT DOWN THE STREET. SO REALLY WANTED TO THANK OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS FOR REACTING AND APPREHENDING HIM.

SO WAY TO GO, TEAM. AND THEN MORE. MOREOVER, I KNOW THAT IT WAS BRIEFLY MENTIONED, BUT OUR CHIEF OF POLICE WAS RECOGNIZED BY A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION. AND I THINK WE IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE OF HIS MENTAL HEALTH COMPONENT OF WHAT HE BROUGHT INTO OUR, OUR DEPARTMENT. AND SO I WANTED JUST TO TAKE THIS BRIEF OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, WAY TO GO, CHIEF MARIO AJELLO, REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE THAT RECOGNIZED YOU.

AND I WANT TO INTERESTINGLY TO NOTE, THE FORMER CHIEF THAT WAS FORMER CHIEFS OF POLICE THAT WERE THERE, LIKE DOUG MULDOON, BUT BILL BARGER WAS THERE, WHO'S A UNITED STATES MARSHAL, GENTLEMAN.

SO THAT THAT WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE. CONGRATULATIONS, CHIEF.

AND THEN I'M GOING TO END MY REPORTS WITH THIS.

OUR CITY WAS IN A IN A POSITION THAT WE NEEDED SOMEONE TO BRING US TO A LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM TO BRING A NEW MANAGER IN. AND WE, WE REQUESTED THIS INDIVIDUAL BASED ON HIS REPUTATION IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE REQUESTED THIS INDIVIDUAL BECAUSE OF THE WORK THAT HE HAD DONE AS A CITY MANAGER WITH THE CITY OF WEST MELBOURNE.

WE REQUESTED HIM BECAUSE HE HAS SUCH AN IMPECCABLE REPUTATION, AND HE HAD A WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US ON THE DAIS.

AND SO I WAS PRAYERFUL AND I I WAS PLEASED TO, TO RECOGNIZE THAT MR. SCOTT MORGAN ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE OF TAKING OUR CITY INTO THIS OPPORTUNITY OF GETTING US WITHOUT A NATIONAL SEARCH FOR AN OUTSTANDING CANDIDATE OF A CITY.

CITY MANAGER. SO, MR. MORGAN. THE CITY OF PALM BAY WILL ALWAYS OWE YOU A GREAT DEBT OF GRATITUDE.

AND ON BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS OF PALM BAY, I WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THIS CERTIFICATE AND COUNCIL WITH THIS CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION.

BROTHER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO THIS COMMUNITY.

WE TRULY APPRECIATE YOU. GOD BLESS YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'RE GOING TO SIT YOU OVER HERE.

WE'RE GOING TO STAND YOU OVER HERE, SIR. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A PHOTO. COME ON. COME ON WITH THE COUNCIL.

LET'S ALL PRETEND WE LOVE HIM. OKAY. ALRIGHT.

ONE. TWO. THREE. ONE, TWO, THREE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR.

THANK YOU. SO THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. I WILL GO TO COUNCILMAN HAMMOND.

I'M GOING TO BE SHORT. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE MY SUPPORT FOR AGING MATTERS BEING ADDED FOR FUNDING. COMING UP IN JULY. I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SHOW MY SUPPORT FOR IT.

[03:15:03]

I MEAN, THE GROUP WE DID WAS OVER 100 PEOPLE, AND THEY HAVE OVER 100 ON A WAITING LIST.

THE IMPACT THAT THEY HAVE WITH THE COMMUNITY.

THEY'RE CHECKING UP ON PEOPLE. SOME OF THESE PEOPLE, THIS IS THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT THEY HAVE CONVERSATION WITH ALL WEEK LONG.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT I MET WERE PROBABLY SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE I'VE MET.

THEY HAVE STORIES. THEY JUST IT WAS IT WAS SADDENING TO SEE THEM IN THERE SITTING ALONE AND HOW HAPPY THEY WERE TO SEE MEALS ON WHEELS SHOW UP. IT'S NOT JUST A MEAL, IT'S IT'S A SERVICE.

IT'S BEING THERE PROVIDING. I WOULDN'T EVEN SAY SUPPORT.

IT'S SECURITY. THERE'S A LOT OF THESE STORIES.

I'M RIDING AROUND WITH THEM AND THEY'RE TELLING ME THEY THEY SEE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR HOUSE AND THEY LET THEM KNOW.

THEY EVEN GET THE MAIL FOR THEM. THIS IS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S HUGE.

AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE A PRIORITY MOVING FORWARD.

IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE AND WE HAVE THE OPENING FOR IT.

I WOULD, I WOULD. 210% SUGGEST WE MOVE FORWARD ON THAT IN JULY.

THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN JOHNSON. I'M GOOD MAYOR, DEPUTY MAYOR JAFFE.

I'M VERY EXCITED THAT IT'S 919 AND WE'RE ON COUNCIL REPORTS.

THAT'S INCREDIBLE. AND THE CONSENT AGENDA PASSED FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY.

I JUST WANT TO ECHO THE MAYOR'S SENTIMENT ABOUT MR. MORGAN. REALLY? NO MORE COULD BE SAID, BUT I THINK PROBABLY ONE OTHER PERSON NEEDS TO BE THANKED.

AND THAT'S TO YOUR WIFE FOR ALLOWING US TO TO HAVE YOU FOR THESE LAST FEW MONTHS.

SO IF SHE'S WATCHING, IF NOT, PLEASE SHARE THAT FROM US TO HER, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THE NIGHT WE HAD THE CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP IS MY FIRST MEETING AS A COUNCIL MEMBER AND I WAS LIKE, OH, WHAT? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? AND YOU KNOW, WE WERE GRACED WITH YOUR PRESENCE AND YOUR EXPERIENCE AND YOUR LEADERSHIP, AND I'LL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL. SO WITH THAT, I'LL CLOSE MY REPORTS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DEPUTY MAYOR. VERY WELL SAID, MR.

[ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL REPORTS:]

I'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE WEEKS. I'M GOING TO WORK TO MY VERY LAST DAY.

BECAUSE PALM BAY DESERVES NOTHING BUT EVERYBODY'S BEST.

CERTAINLY. GOING TO LEAVE A PIECE OF MY HEART HERE.

I SO APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL'S CONFIDENCE AND SUPPORT AND THE ABILITY TO SERVE HERE AND THEN HAVE A GREAT TEAM OF PEOPLE THAT I HAVE REALLY COME TO LOVE.

AND THE CITIZENS THAT WE SERVE DESERVE NOTHING BUT OUR VERY BEST.

AND I'M JUST HUMBLED THAT FOR THE RECOGNITION AND THE KIND WORDS AND ALSO LOOK FORWARD TO GOING BACK TO RETIREMENT.

BUT KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN GOOD HANDS WITH A REALLY OUTSTANDING CITY MANAGER AND AND PROVIDING HIM WITH THE POLICY DIRECTION.

I THINK HE'S GOT THE SKILLS AND ABILITY TO, TO CARRY OUT AND, AND HELP YOU ACHIEVE SOME OF THOSE VISIONS THAT YOU RIGHTFULLY HAVE SET OUT FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY AND ITS CITIZENS AND BUSINESSES AND VISITORS.

AND IT'S A GREAT COMMUNITY. AND WE HAVE GREAT LEADERSHIP.

AND IT'S AN HONOR TO HAVE BEEN HERE FOR THIS IN-BETWEEN TRANSITION TIME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. MORGAN. MADAM ATTORNEY, WELL, THIS CONCLUDES OUR MEETING.

MEETING ADJOURNED.
