Cape Canaveral Vision Statement
We envision: A bikeable and walkable Cape Canaveral that retains and enhances its residential
feel, characterized by low-rise buildings. 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.

Affordable Care Act Remains the Law of the Land… For Now
House Speaker Paul Ryan confirmed House Republicans “came up short” in their American Health
Care Act repeal and replace vote and the Affordable Care Act will stay in place “for the foreseeable
future.” “Obamacare will remain the law of the land until it’s replaced,” the Speaker said. “We’re going
to be living with Obamacare for the foreseeable future.” “We came really close today, but we came up
short,” he added. “I spoke to the President a little while ago and I told him the best thing I think to do
was to pull this bill, and he agreed with that. I will not sugarcoat this; this is a disappointing day for us.
Doing big things is hard.”
With only 17% U.S. voter support for the Republican sponsored Repeal and Replace Bill, there is no
longer a repeal and replace plan. Theoretically, we have an opportunity to work together to come up
with a repair plan.
Legal Updates
Federal Contractors and Sub-contractors Win in Rollback of "Blacklisting" Rule
March 27, 2017 President Trump signed a Congressional Review Act resolution that rolled back the
Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Act, which required bidders for federal contracts to disclose their alleged
labor and employment law violations for a three year period for consideration in the bidding process.
The rule, dubbed the "blacklisting rule," faced vocal opposition from employers since first announced
in an Obama Administration Executive Order. The House of Representatives passed the rollback bill
in early February and the measure narrowly passed the Senate earlier this month.
Workers’ Comp Continues To Be Exclusive Remedy for Workplace Injuries
Workers’ Compensation laws are among the oldest protective labor statutes, dating back to the early
1900’s. Workers’ Compensation embodies a simple tradeoff: employees may not bring personal injury
lawsuits against their employers for workplace injuries, but in return there is mandatory insurance so
claims can be processed quickly with funds available for payment and a workers’ compensation
commission to adjudicate disputes. This tradeoff is known as the Workers’ Compensation
Exclusivity Rule. As personal injury damages can far exceed Workers’ Compensation benefits, civil
lawsuits have been filed attempting to invoke the exception to the exclusivity rule. These suits are
rarely successful because while injuries may result from an employer’s carelessness or negligence, the
exception only applies when the employee can prove that the employer was motivated by an
intention to cause harm.
Split Eleventh Circuit Panel Says Title VII Does Not Prohibit Discrimination Based on Sexual
Orientation
Background
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. Perhaps the
hottest issue in employment discrimination law today is whether that ban on gender discrimination
includes discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Three federal appellate courts have recently
considered cases asserting that federal law already includes this prohibition regardless of Congress’
refusal to pass legislation that would explicitly add LGBT status to the list of protected classifications.
On March 10, a divided Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals panel concluded that current federal
employment discrimination law does not include protections against sexual orientation bias. In a 2-1
decision in Evans v. Ga. Regional Hosp., the court rejected claims from a lesbian security guard that
her employer discriminated against her on the basis of her orientation. The decision reviewed the
legislative history of Title VII as well as older decisions from appellate courts in deciding Congress
must amend the statute to include such prohibitions.
In this case, the plaintiff argued that sexual orientation cannot be separated from gender and
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is inherently a form of sex discrimination. The
dissenting judge noted that under the U.S. Supreme Court’s Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins decision,
Title VII’s sex discrimination protections already include prohibitions against bias based on gender
stereotypes. The Eleventh Circuit remanded the claim to the district court to allow the plaintiff to assert
a gender stereotyping claim, but the dissenting judge argued that discrimination based on sexual
orientation by definition involves gender stereotypes.
The full Eleventh Circuit may decide to review this decision. In addition, the Second Circuit and the
full Seventh Circuit are currently considering similar cases contending that Title VII directly prohibits
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. At some point, the Supreme Court will likely review
this question and possibly issue a nationwide decision on this continuing contentious issue.
HR participated in the City Council Strategic Planning Retreat.
HR teamed with Administrative/Financial Services Director, City Clerk, Economic Development
Director and Deputy City Clerk to develop a Safety and Security Policy for the New City Hall
facility. Staff recommendations will be presented to the City Manager for review.
HR met with Public Works Services Director to review Staffing levels for purposes of prioritizing
vacancy fulfillment. At this time, HR will focus on recruitment of a licensed Wastewater Plant
Operator. HR will also work with Plant personnel in updating the City’s current Plant Operator
Trainee Program in an effort to protect the City against current and future Plant Operator shortages.
Industry statistics indicate that for every 500 Plant Operators leaving the field, only 200 prospective
recruits are stepping forward to take their place.
The City is currently seeking to hire an experienced Wastewater Plant Operator with either a C, B or
A license to be assigned to the Public Works Services Department. Position details are posted on the
City’s Website as well as Employ Florida.
Community Engagement

Florida Today Article - Link
Cape Canaveral, where I stayed for four months when I first moved to Brevard two years
ago, is always a busy and fun place. But come Saturday, things will be hopping, or at
least walking.
I’ll join Mayor Bob Hoog and other Cape Canaveral officials for this week’s Health First
Mayor’s Fitness Challenge Walk that begins at 11:30 a.m. Saturday at Manatee Sanctuary
Park, 701 Thurm Blvd. It’s a part of a series of walks across Brevard as part of the fitness
challenge.
The city is also celebrating Founder’s Day Saturday at the park, and activities go from
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. But there’s more, too. Starting at 8 a.m., the city is taking part in the
Keep Brevard Beautiful Trash Bash starting at Cherie Down Park.
As for the walk, the Manatee Sanctuary Park features a half-mile trail in a very scenic
setting. You can join us for as little or as much of a two-and-a-half mile walk as you like.
Joshua Surprenant, community engagement director for the city, points out that Cape
Canaveral is completing its mobility master plan “that will assist us in transforming Cape
Canaveral into a more bikeable/walkable pedestrian friendly city.”
That includes two “major streetscape/pedway projects (Ridgewood Avenue and N.
Atlantic Avenue),” he said.
“And we JUST installed three Mobi-mats to make the beach more ADA accessible,” he
said.
Other upcoming walks with FLORIDA TODAY as part of the challenge include:
LifeTM Rescue Project
The twenty-five (25) City of Cape Canaveral sponsored Life Rescue Stations have been installed
for one (1) week, and are quietly standing “ready for action”. As a second phase to the Life
Rescue Project partnership, Staff is designing vinyl wraps to transform each Life Rescue Station
into public art. Possible wrap ideas can be seen below. Staff responded via email to one (1) resident
inquiry regarding the new Life Rescue Stations on all City public beaches. Residents have been
expressing gratitude to the City for making the public beaches safer during community engagement
events, emails and social media.
Ralph and Leslie Roughton emailed Staff to say “Wow - I think the life-saving tubes are
wonderful. First time I've ever seen them so if Cape Canaveral is the first to set them up I
congratulate you.”
Email: “Thanks to the city council, mayor, and you for providing the great new mats on the beach!
They are awesome and so very user friendly for the handicapped and their caretakers. We are
enjoying the beach and people here in Cape Canaveral and the many services and support you give
to winter residents. Thanks again, Josh, for your fun visit on the beach. You made our day
GREAT!”
And Rebekah McLain commented on Facebook that “I'm so glad to see that we have these on our
beach now! It's great to live in a city that looks out for the safety of its residents and guests.”
Staff is working with local artists to create a Artist Series of Life Rescue Station Public Art poles
Installed Life Rescue Station and a close up of the THE SPACE BETWEENSM spinning topper

and a close up of the PULL tab
A webpage has also been created on the City website to house the Life Rescue Project/Station
information. Please follow this link to visit the webpage http://cityofcapecanaveral.org/lrp
Mobi-mat Installation
The City of Cape Canaveral was finally issued a permit from FDEP on 3-23-17 to install Mobi-mat
RecPathTM nonslip roll-up Beach Access MatTM Pathways at Monroe, Polk and Buchanan Avenues
with a Special Permit Condition of installation by 3-28-17.
Following Staff, community and Mayor Hoog input in August 2016, the City made the conscious
decision to create a more inclusive ADA accessible beach and heavily researched beach pathway
products/materials to ensure the best long lasting, quality product would be purchased. We sampled
products, contacted multiple vendors and reached out to Florida Cities and State Parks to gain firsthand
information. The purchased Mobi-matTM beach access mats come from a French company called
Deschamps Mat Systems, DMS, with an office in Cedar Grove, NJ. The Mobi-matTM technology has
been around for over 20 years, and was originally designed for US Marine beach landings. The main
advantages to using the Mobi-matTM are:
#1 Non-slip patented walkway surface in the United States and Europe.
Created from 100% recycled polyester material.
o One (1) 60” x 50’ long mat is equivalent to one thousand (1000) recycled bottles.
Compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Architectural
Barriers Act of 1968 (ABA).
Lightweight product for roll up/put down.
Resistant to repeated vehicle crossings (County lifeguards, BCSO, PWS Staff, sea
turtle surveys).
Resistant to UV.
Long lasting material inert to sea/salt water and fuels.
DMS/Mobi-matTM products are widely used throughout Florida and can be found in the
following Florida State Parks, Cities and Counties:
Little Talbot Island State Park, Jacksonville, FL
Suwannee River State Park, Live Oak, FL
Don Pedro Island State Park, Boca Grande, FL
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, Key Largo, FL
Siesta Beach, Sarasota County, FL
Grayton Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, FL
Cocoa Beach, FL
City of Fernandina Beach, Fernandina Beach, FL
Panama City Beach, FL
Mobi-mat TM products have been used/can be found in the following places in the United
States and around the world:
Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia
Wasaga Beach, Canada
Utah Arches National Park, Utah
Cape Cod National Seashore, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Hunting Island State Park, South Carolina
Tybee Island George, Tybee, Georgia
In September 2016, the City purchased six hundred (600) feet of Electric Blue Mobi-mat
RecPathTM nonslip roll-up Beach Access MatTM Pathway for $21,250. Staff also designed three
(3) ad mats branded with THE SPACE BETWEENSM that was inserted between path sections.
With this addition of Mobi-mat RecPathTM nonslip roll-up Beach Access MatTM Pathways, the
City has become an even more attractive community with inclusive, fully accessible beaches.
It is the hope of Staff that residents who have been unable to access the beach due to disabilities
will again be able to enjoy the natural oceanside, witness the next big launch from the sand or
even build a sand castle with family/friends.

Operation CASH ME OUTSIDE
Staff was invited by Commander Alan Moros of the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office to
attend/participate in the Thursday, March 30, 2017 police operation named CASH ME OUTSIDE.
The operation was to serve twenty-two (22) arrest warrants and three (3) search warrants in the
City of Cape Canaveral. Staff’s role was to be observe the briefing and ride along during the search
warrants/arrest warrants. The CASH ME OUTSIDE operation involved the Special Investigation
Unit (SIU) and the Canaveral Road Patrol. These warrants were part of a much larger and ongoing
investigation into high crimes areas and were related to drugs and prostitution. Staff was VERY
impressed by the gathered intelligence, surgical movements and safety first attitude. Staff would
like to thank the Commander, Lieutenant and all the other involved officers for the invitation to
attend the operation and for putting their lives in harm’s way to improve the safety of Cape
Canaveral. Our City is lucky to have such wonderful police officers. For more information about
