This residential and business friendly atmosphere is a liveable, attractive, safe, inclusive and sustainable coastal community that embraces the seaside and riverside as the main amenities, and supports local culture, commerce and education. We envision: A1A as a “complete street” with a native-landscaped and tree-lined median with traffic calming elements and dark-sky street lighting. “Complete street” amenities include bicycle facilities, covered transit stops, and safe pedestrian crossings that invite pedestrians and bicyclists to access the beach, river, local neighborhoods and adjacent communities. Our improved “complete streets” will allow us to travel calmly to intimate waterfront destinations and a walk- able uptown core. Multi-use paths lined with shade trees should be wide enough for bikes and pedestrians and lighted so anyone can walk or bicycle safely anywhere in town, day or night. We envision: Welcoming community entrance features that create a sense of arrival and unique community identity. The “uptown” and other areas will contain an architecturally rich and unique mix of uses, with wide tree shaded sidewalks and umbrella covered café tables at restaurants and bistros where friends gather, interact, and enjoy drinks and dinner. We envision: A community that; removes or transforms blighted and unfinished buildings into attractive structures, offers city-wide green spaces, provides a pet-friendly park with ample shade, and actively recruits and supports businesses that enhance economic viability and serve our residents and visitors. We envision: Open shorelines and rivers accessible to the public including amenities that take advantage of the water, such as limited and quaint water-view establishments and intimate public gathering and entertainment places that may include pavilions, gazebos, or a performance stage.  Administrative Services Update for Week Ending March 10, 2017 The City Manager’s Office is responsible for the day to day administration of all City departments in accordance with City Council’s established policies/direction, local ordinances, resolutions and State/Federal laws/rules and regulations.

Highlights:  Legal Updates  Cushman & Wakefield (with 250 U.S.) will Pay $100,000 to Settle EEOC Disability Discrimination Lawsuit Commercial Real Estate Services Company Cushman & Wakefield will pay $100,000 and furnish significant relief to resolve a federal disability discrimination lawsuit. Patterson, an employee with the firm for nine years, requested as a reasonable accommodation, to return to work on a part-time basis while she underwent chemotherapy/radiation treatment and advised that she might need additional unpaid leave after her surgery. The EEOC charged that Cushman & Wakefield fired Patterson because of her disability instead of allowing her to work part-time or providing another reasonable accommodation that would have allowed her to remain employed. "Employers run afoul of the ADA if they don't communicate with an employee with a disability to determine what reasonable accommodation, such as a modified work schedule or unpaid leave, that would keep the individual employed without imposing an undue hardship," said Spencer H. Lewis, Jr., district director of the EEOC's Philadelphia District Office.  Employees increasingly requesting leave to PROTEST. Advice to Employers. As Americans appear to be protesting, boycotting and marching more than we’ve seen in many years, employers are increasingly likely to experience higher than normal employee absences and are advised to adhere to the following: o Have a backup plan to ensure necessary work gets done in the event you experience an abnormally high number of call-ins. o Do not draw attention to the issue or address the protests in advance. Do not threaten or make generalized statements that could be construed to have a bias pertaining to the “issue”. o Do not highlight the reason for the absence, question motives or engage in debate about the propriety of engaging in this type of protest. o Apply your standard attendance policies for call in and vacation request procedures. If a participating employee’s absence would ordinarily result in an assessment of points or discipline, act accordingly. Similarly, if a request for time off would otherwise be granted, then it should be granted in this situation. o Do not include terms or references such as, “protest,” “strike,” “boycott,” or “march” when issuing disciplinary action or denying requests for time off pursuant to the terms of your standard attendance policy. Such references are unnecessary and could aggravate the situation. o In short, remain calm and follow standard operating procedures. After all, peaceful demonstrations of free speech is an essential element to democracy.  As of March 3, 2017 the U.S. Announces Suspension of Premium Processing for All H- 1B Petitions Background Many employers recruit foreign born candidates for technical or professional vacancies where a domestic pool of talent is not available. o Under the limitation, only 65,000 visas for bachelor’s degree candidates and 20,000 visas for master's degree candidates will be issued beginning October 1, 2017, the first day of the federal government’s fiscal year. The H-1B applications may be filed six months before that date or April 1, 2017. o This temporary suspension of premium processing does not apply to other eligible nonimmigrant classifications filed using Form I-129. Under that limitation, only 65,000 visas for bachelor’s degree candidates and 20,000 visas for master's degree candidates are issued starting October 1, 2017, the first day of the federal government’s fiscal year. The H-1B applications can be filed six months before that date, or April 1, 2017. Please extend a warm welcome to Zeth Peterson, Utilities Mechanic assigned to Public Works Services (PWS).

In Recognition of International Women’s Day March, 8, 2017 "Be Bold For Change” About International Women's Day International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. International Women's Day (IWD) has been observed since in the early 1900's - a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of changing ideologies. International Women's Day is a collective day of global celebration and a call for gender parity. No one government, charity, corporation, academic institution, women's network or media hub is solely responsible for International Women's Day. Many organizations declare an annual Women’s Day theme that supports their specific cause. International Women's Day is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action - whatever that looks like globally or at a local level.

Director Meetings  City Manager  Electrical Contractor  Human Resources Director  Administrative/Financial Services Director  Holiday Display Designer Research at Manatee Sanctuary Park – Scientists from the United States Geological Service were on hand at the Park this week to research non-native fish species living inside the lake. Part of a 2 year longitudinal study of non-native species living in the Indian River Lagoon Watershed, this lake was of particular interest due to its proximity to the Lagoon. According to these scientists, lakes like this one are common dumping grounds for people’s aquariums, which can result in devastating consequences to an already fragile ecosystem. The good news is that they only found one kind of non-native/invasive species at the lake, Blue Tilapia. This fish stems from Africa and is already very prevalent in the Lagoon. Although the fish only eats algae, scientists are further studying whether or not this fish’s excrement is part of the high nitrogen levels found in the Lagoon. Park visitors gathered to see what was pulled out of the lake and were surprised by the size of some of the mature fish living in it.
