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.

Legal Updates
I-9 Glitch
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is reminding employers that use a Form I-9 (“Smart
Form”) downloaded between November 14 (when the form first became available) and November 17,
2016, to download, save and start using a new Form I-9, available at uscis.gov/i-9. A glitch in the
software during those days resulted in Social Security numbers being transposed. For example, the
number 123-45-6789 entered in the Social Security number field might appear as 123-34-6789. The
USCIS is advising the following:
Employers should check to see if their employees’ Social Security numbers are incorrect;
If they are incorrect, employers should have their employees draw a line through the transposed
number in Section 1, enter the correct number, and initial and date the change; and
Include a written explanation with the Form I-9 about why the correction was made in the event
of an audit, citing to the USCIS announcement dated April 6, 2017, at:
https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/whats-new .
Government Seeks Another Delay on DOL’s Overtime Rule
The government has asked for another delay in submitting its final brief to the Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals regarding the DOL’s Final overtime rule, which raised the salary level for white collar
exemptions from $23,660 to $47,476. The final reply brief was scheduled to be filed on May 1, 2017,
after two earlier requests for an extension. Now the government has asked for an additional 60 days,
until June 30, 2017, to file the reply brief. The motion notes the request is necessary “to allow incoming
leadership personnel adequate time to consider the issues” and explains that the Secretary of Labor has
yet to be confirmed. It is expected the Fifth Circuit will grant the request, which was unopposed. A
vote on the Secretary of Labor nominee, Alexander Acosta, may be scheduled next week. Once the
Secretary is confirmed, the government will need to stake out its position regarding the Final Rule.
Wisconsin Court Holds Discharging Employee Because of Misconduct Caused by Disability
Can Be Discrimination
The Wisconsin Court of Appeals has affirmed a decision holding a call center employee with bipolar
disorder proved that he was discharged “because of” his disability by establishing he was discharged
for misconduct, avoiding calls that was caused by his disability. In light of this case, Wisconsin
employers dealing with employee misconduct that could be caused by a known disability may want to
proceed with caution because, in some cases, the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act may require them
to excuse the misconduct as a reasonable accommodation. Wisconsin Bell, Inc. v. Labor
As the employer pointed out to no avail, the court’s decision is inconsistent with federal precedent
under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which holds that employers can discharge employees for
misconduct even if the misconduct is caused by a disability. Unless the Wisconsin Supreme Court
reviews and reverses this holding, employers in Wisconsin may want to take into account the Wisconsin
Court of Appeals’ interpretation of the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act, which may require employers
to reasonably accommodate or excuse misconduct when the misconduct is caused by a disability.
The War on Employee Misclassification: Will Trump Call a Cease Fire?
The Obama Administration declared war on misclassification of employees as independent contractors.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued additional guidance on the proper classification of
workers. The guidance made clear that the DOL, under the Obama Administration, would view most
workers as employees. During this period, investigators were hired and trained to detect and deter
misclassification. In addition, the DOL entered into partnerships with 37 states to work together to
combat misclassification.
Companies that supplement workforces with independent contractors should not view the change in
Washington as an invitation to misclassify workers. Employers should expect DOL enforcement to
continue. If federal government enforcement efforts are given a lower priority by the DOL under the
Trump Administration, then employers should expect state departments of labor to fill the void under
their joint enforcement initiatives. Employers should also anticipate that plaintiffs’ class action lawyers
will continue to target misclassification.
Employers who are determined to have misclassified employees as independent contractors may be
liable for:
Unpaid minimum wage
Unpaid overtime compensation
Health and other benefits
Denied medical leave
State and federal taxes
Unemployment insurance and claims
Workers' compensation insurance and claims
To date, the DOL guidance issued during the Obama Administration remains in effect. To properly
classify workers, employers should “determine whether the worker is economically dependent on the
employer (and thus its employee) or is really in business for him or herself (and thus its independent
contractor).”
Employer Will Have to Do Heavy Lifting After Court Denies Motion for Summary Judgment
In Crain v. Roseville Rehabilitation and Health Care, the United States District Court for the Central
District of Illinois denied an employer’s motion for summary judgment dismissing a claim under the
Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and the Rehabilitation Act. Plaintiff alleged that her
employer discriminated against her under the ADA because of her doctor-mandated weightlifting
restrictions and failed to provide her with a reasonable accommodation. The employer argued that
Plaintiff was unable to perform the essential functions of her job as a Certified Nursing Assistant and
Transportation Aide because job description required lifting up to fifty pounds. Plaintiff contended
that despite what was included in the job descriptions, her job, in practice, did not require her to do
“heavy” lifting.
Under the ADA, employers must “make reasonable accommodations for the disabilities of an employee
who can perform the essential functions of her job with or without accommodation.” An essential job
function is determined by considering several factors, including the “employer’s judgment as to which
tasks are essential, written job descriptions, work experience of past incumbents in the job and/or the
current work experience of incumbents in the job.” In deciding whether lifting was an essential
function of Plaintiff’s job, the Court analyzed not only the written job descriptions, but also evidence
of how the job was performed in practice. Because the employer could not refute evidence that in
practice the job duties were inconsistent with the job description, the Court found that the “official job
descriptions did not tell the whole story.”
Job descriptions can be helpful in managing leave requests and defending ADA claims when they
accurately describe the job’s essential functions. However, if the job description is inaccurate and does
not reflect the current reality of the workplace, employers will be exposed to liability. Employers
should continuously revisit their job descriptions to ensure they accurately describe the duties
actually performed.
HR/Risk Management met with Preferred Government Insurance Trust (PGIT) representatives in
discussions concerning 2017/18 Property, Automotive, Workers’ Compensation and Liability
Insurance premium rates. HR/Risk Management has granted PGIT permission to present a quote for
the City’s Risk Management business noting PGIT underwriting, servicing, deductible and coverage
standard policy features that may present opportunities to the City for significant cost savings to
include:
o 3% vs. 5% Hurricane deductible on claims following named storms provided by current
provider.
o Coverage for City property debris removal vs. none offered by current provider.
o Offer of two (2) year locked in price renewal contract vs. one (1) year renewal contract.
o Premium increases on newly acquired assets accessed at time of renewal vs. premium
increases throughout the year for newly acquired assets.
HR/Risk Management continues to demand quality and value from all providers and following
Hurricane Matthew, claims processing deficiencies as well as the 5% deductible standard for the City’s
current provider is receiving “justifiably” greater scrutiny.
Safety Training
City employees participated in a wide range of Safety Workshops intended to maintain the City’s
“enviably” low Workers’ Compensation claims ratio. HR arranged 10 workshops spanning two days
at no cost to the City.
Student Intern
The City of Cape Canaveral has selected a University of Central Florida (UCF) senior undergraduate
student to participate in a paid internship assigned to the Public Works Services Wastewater Plant
Laboratory for the summer. The City contacted UCF Biology Department in hopes of providing a
qualified student an opportunity to learn more about the environmentally essential field of Wastewater
Management. The City strives to partner with area educational institutions in an effort to promote
student awareness of the career opportunities available in the field of wastewater/stormwater
management.

Revenue
Ad Valorem Tax
City of Cape Canaveral
Fund Narrative
Period Ended March 31, 2017
To date, the City has received 90.6% of its ad valorem revenue. The City saw a spike in this
revenue source during the month of December. To date, we have received most of the budgeted
ad valorem revenue and the balance will trickle in during the months of April and May.
Local Option Gas Tax
This amount represents an accrual for February and March based on actual collections for October
through January. Fiscal Year 2016-17 budget is slightly more than Fiscal Year 2015-16.
Franchise Fees, Utility Service Taxes and Communications Service Tax
This amount represents an accrual for February and March based on actual collections for October
through January. This revenue is below target at this point but hopefully this trend will improve.
Permits and Licenses
Permits and Licenses are above target at 86.8%. This is a direct result of business tax renewals and
an increase in building permits.
State Shared Revenues
This amount represents an accrual for February and March based on actual collections for October
through January. This revenue source is slightly under target at 49.5%.
Garbage and Recycling Revenues
This amount represents collections for the months of October through March. This revenue line is
on target at 49.8%. This revenue source, however, tends to fluctuate from month to month.
Recreation Fees (Leisure Services)
Recreation Fees are above target at 50.9%. Although Hurricane Matthew caused the cancellation
of October's Friday Fest, leagues are starting up and the result is increased revenue to the City.
Investment Income
Investment Income is under target at 41.3%. Although interest rates appear to be moving upward,
the funds available for investing are shrinking due to a number of large ongoing projects.
Utility Operating Income (Wastewater Fund)
Utility Operating Income is on target at 49.8%.
Stormwater Utility Fees (Stormwater Fund)
Stormwater Utility Fees are slightly under target at 49.1 %, however, this revenue source does
fluctuate so any shortfall could be easily made up.

Community Engagement
Update for Week Ending April 21, 2017
Community Engagement is primarily responsible for implementation/evaluation of public
programs, community meetings, public gatherings and more. Staff attended various meetings,
performed day-to-day duties/responsibilities, website maintenance/improvements and performed
content sourcing throughout the City for various digital/social media platforms. Other highlights
include:
Community engagement with residents regarding installation of Life Rescue Station art
pole on Monroe Ave., the new City Electric Car, EV, parking space ordinance amendment
and the Long Point Rd. Hurricane Matthew clean-up project.
Meeting on Wednesday, April 19, 2017 with the Brevard Tourism Development Council
(TDC), Economic Development Director and representatives from Port Canaveral and
ZAGSTER (https://www.zagster.com/) about the potential for a Port Canaveral/Cape
Canaveral/Cocoa Beach bike share program.
o There is potential for a Summer 2016 rollout.
Met with Staff from multiple departments to discuss plans for the Arbor Day/Cape View
event at Manatee Sanctuary Park.
Community Garden
Staff is working with Rebekah McLain, Resident Master Gardener/Community Volunteer, to
organize an Earth Day Community Garden Open House/Meet-up on THIS Saturday, April 22,
2017 from 9 to 11 AM. Current registered gardeners and interested residents are invited to come
talk plants, organic pesticides and how to be a green thumb!
Unique Community Identity
Staff from Public Works Services installed two (2) SURFER CROSSING signs at the intersection
of Adams/Ridgewood Avenues and the East entrance to Cherie Down Lane. The purpose of these
signs is to continue the community vision of creating a “sense of arrival and unique community
identity” as #TheSpaceBetween Waves + Wonder. For more about the Cape Canaveral Vision
Statement, please visit this link cityofcapecanaveral.org/visioning
Adams/Ridgewood Avenues (left) Cherie Down Lane (right)
LifeTM Rescue Project
Staff from multiple departments worked with residents of 619 Monroe Ave to reposition the Life
Rescue Station to the South edge of the City ROW easement/North edge of their property.
Staff collaborated with Space Coast artist Jacob McAlister to complete the first Life Rescue Station
Art Pole wrap design, which was inspired by The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy/Star Wars and
fits nicely into the Sun, Space and Sea overall campaign theme. Staff is still looking for local
artists/creators to design wraps for the Life Rescue Station Public Art poles. They can be designed
in various mediums and a size board (acting as a canvas) can be provided. If you are interested in
creating an art pole design, please contact j.surprenant@cityofcapecanaverl.org for more
information.
A wheelchair beach goer using the Monroe Ave. Mobi-mat with his family
Staff created an interactive map using Boondock Cities to show locations of the Life Rescue
Stations on City public beaches. The map also shows locations of the Mobi-mats and the two
Brevard County/Port Canaveral lifeguards (Cherie Down Park/Jetty Park).
To view the map, please follow this link http://bit.ly/2oVb3iO
Life Rescue Station Letters of Concern
Staff received two (2) letters of concern by Cape Canaveral residents regarding installation/use of
Life Rescue Stations on the City public beach. The concerns are related to the “better that one
person drowns then two” attitude and the overall appearance of the stations on the City public
beach. As stated before, the Life Rescue Stations are personal flotation devices to be used in the
case of an emergency to stabilize distressed swimmers before rescue by lifeguards/first responders.
The City partnered with the Life Rescue project “to prevent drownings worldwide through
education, awareness and rescue equipment implementation.” The Phase 2 creation of the Life
Rescue Station art poles creates a whimsical approach to public art and public safety.
Staff has been researching similar established Life Rescue Station projects throughout the United
States and the World. While researching established programs, Staff visited the website of the
International Life Saving Federation. The About Page of the ILS states that:
“The International Life Saving Federation is composed of national aquatic lifesaving
organizations (known as Member Federations) from around the world.
Through our own work and that of our Member Federations, we lead the global effort to
reduce injury and death in, on, or around the water.
We accomplish this by assisting existing national lifesaving organizations; facilitating and
developing a global exchange of drowning prevention and lifesaving information and of best
lifesaving practices; helping establish lifesaving organizations in areas of the world where
they are needed, but do not exist; acting as the International Federation for lifesaving sport;
and cooperating with other international bodies with shared goals.”
On the Position Statements section/webpage (linked here http://www.ilsf.org/about/position-
statements) of the ILS website, there is a Position Statement about Water Safety (linked here
http://www.ilsf.org/file/3896/download?token=0oZNUpv-)
The four (4) page document examines many aspects of drowning and defines drowning as a leading
cause of death. The Position Statement makes the point that “drowning occurs at any age, but over
half of all drowning deaths are of children under 15 years of age.” The Position Statement puts a
focus on the “disparity in the incidence of drowning between low and middle-income countries as
compared to high-income countries” and explains the two (2) main differences. One (1) main
difference is exposure to water in general. The City of Cape Canaveral is The Space Between
Oceanside + Riverside, so obviously there is a HIGH exposure to water for Cape Canaveral
residents/visitors. The other difference is stated to be the presence of some sort of preventative
action.
“Successful preventive strategies, commonly utilized in fully developed countries and some
less-developed countries, demonstrate that it is entirely possible to mitigate against
drowning, dramatically reducing the incidence of death from this cause. Commonly accepted
methods include providing instruction in water safety and swimming skills, minimizing
exposure to risk by use of barriers, making personal floatation devices and rescue devices
available, providing lifeguards in areas where people gather for recreational swimming, and
regulating water transit and other boating.”
The Position Statement makes a strong point between page one (1) and two (2) saying:
“Currently, the difference in drowning rates between higher and lower-income countries is
as much as fifty fold; evidence of the effectiveness of preventative efforts in high-income
countries. It is a powerful demonstration of the effectiveness of targeting drowning as a
major public health problem. Clearly, with adequate attention and effort, drowning is a
largely preventable cause of death.”
On page two (2) of the Position Statement, the ILS describes different risk factors and calls out
recreation saying that:
“During recreation, common in high-income countries, risk factors include lack of use of
personal flotation devices, use of alcohol, recreation at unprotected bodies of water, and
exceeding swimming ability.”
The City has only two (2) lifeguard areas – both of which are not controlled by the City. The use
of alcohol is not prohibited on the beach, and many residents/tourists have low water skills. There
is also seasonal/frequent high surf/rip currents for residents/visitors to contend with.
The Position Statement mentions the World Congress on Drowning from 2002 saying,
“At the World Congress on Drowning 2002 the assembled experts estimated that over 80%
of all drowning episodes can be prevented, and prevention is the key management
intervention.”
The attitude of City Staff, worldwide beach communities and the organization that determines
international lifesaving guidelines is prevention – prevention – prevention.
A webpage has also been created on the City website to house the Life Rescue Project/Station
information/map. Please follow this link to visit the webpage http://cityofcapecanaveral.org/lrp
Staff was informed that on Friday, April 14, 2017 at approximately 7pm, Life Rescue Project
spokesman/Life Rescue Station developer Wyatt Werneth, a retired former Brevard County Ocean
Rescue Chief, had rescued five (5) people from drowning at Patrick Air Force Base Beach in
Brevard County.
“Werneth was driving along A1A in an unguarded area of Patrick Air Force Base and saw
commotion and quickly pulled over and was told by responding officers that multiple drownings
were occurring. As a trained Lifeguard and Waterman of over 35 years, Werneth grabbed his
equipment which included a LIFE Rescue Tube and ocean rescue fins and his training took over.
He immediately jumped in, swimming straight to rescue the 5 victims. He stabilized the victims
by having the 4 conscious ones grab hold of the rescue tube. The police officers proceeded out to
the victims and helped bring them in one by one. Werneth stabilized the unconscious victim and
subsequently brought him to shore.
In a miraculous set of circumstances, Werneth was headed to an out of town grocery store to help
jump start his wife’s car which had died during an out of town shopping trip. Her location caused
him to have to pass by the Air Force Base.
Werneth credited the Air Force Base officials when interviewed by Lifeguard Times, “If it was
not for the Air Force guys I don’t think it would have been as successful.” Wyatt Werneth is the
National Spokesperson for the LIFE Rescue Project, a nonprofit organization headquartered in
Florida dedicated to lifesaving.”

The City was also mentioned on the Life Guard Times in a recent article about the Rescue Tube
Project Expanding Nationwide. For more information, please follow this link

Long Point Rd Hurricane Matthew Clean-up
Staff received five (5) phone calls from Long Point Rd residents regarding the “park at the end of
Long Point Rd.” Residents were informed that the current project was established during the
Hurricane Matthew clean-up efforts, and is utilizing the Career Source Brevard crews already
working on other Hurricane clean-up related projects. There was a large amount of down/damaged
trees left in the Long Point Rd. area from Hurricane Matthew. The crew has cleared roughly three
(3) acres of trees/foliage, which consisted of 98% invasive Brazilian Pepper trees. The cleared
trees are being chipped into a forty (40) yard roll off dumpster before being removed from the
work site.
They were also informed that there has been a long-term/on-going Army Corps of Engineers
project on the docket for close to ten (10) years to create a natural mangrove estuary/wildlife
preserve/sanctuary project at the end of Long Point Rd extending West to the Banana River. It is
in the VERY BEGINNING planning stage. It could have a looping elevated boardwalk
extending all the way to the Banana River, a two (2) story observation deck with views of the
Banana River Lagoon/launches/sunsets, information boards describing the plants/animals living
in the preserve area and access to the river edge/beach for fishing/relaxing/enjoying. Anyone with
questions about this project, can contact Staff at (321) 243-8750.
The following images are from a similar project in Naples, FL called the Gordan River Greenway
Park.

CAPE CANAVERAL-In the midst of a busy spring break and Easter travel season on the Space
Coast, Orange Lake Resorts, home to Holiday Inn Club Vacations brand, broke ground Thursday on a five-
story, 42-room villa and pool addition to its Cape Canaveral Beach Resort.
The $16 million project, just south of Jetty Park, is expected to be completed by summer 2018.
"We are expanding our product offerings, and making significant investments at this resort to accommodate the
growing desires of our club members," said Don Harrill, chief executive officer of Orange Lake Resorts.
"Cape Canaveral Beach Resort is one of our most popular beach side resorts," added Tom Nelson, president
The groundbreaking comes as Brevard officials predict growing tourism numbers on the Space Coast and what's expected to be a sizable expansion of
hotel offerings in the next few years .. The Holiday Inn resort expansion also follows other major building projects in the area.

For example, at Port Canaveral Parrish Medical Center is building a 9,600-square-foot, $1 .7 million facility off of George King Boulevard in Cape
Canaveral while a new brewery is nearing completion next to the Observation Tower at Port Canaveral. The site used to be home to Auddino's Italian
Bakery.

Also a Cumberland Farms convenience store is set to open their 14th location in Brevard County along U.S. 1 in Cape Canaveral within the month.
And city of Cape Canaveral officials are nearing moving into a new 18,500-square-foot, two-story city hall.
Todd Morley, the city's director of economic development, said Cape Canaveral made key planning decisions several years to spark this new investment.
And it coincides with a rise in tourism. He said hoteliers are expected to add up to 600 hotel rooms in the next five years.
"I probably get a call once a week from a hotelier inquiring about sites in Cape Canaveral," Morley said. "It's great."

Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)/Sanitary Sewer System
Oxidation Ditch Rehabilitation Project. Contractor is installing aboveground piping for
oxidation ditch bypass operations to be initiated in April. The existing oxidation ditch will
be shut down for a 3-4 month period to install new equipment and for cleaning/
maintenance. The equalization basin will serve as a temporary oxidation ditch for this
period. The upgraded oxidation ditch is then scheduled to be operational in mid- to late-
2017. The main roadway to the Maintenance Building is now closed; the roadway to the
west around the Reject Water Tank is open. A US Environmental Protection Agency audit
of the Project is scheduled for May 10. Current project construction completion: 15%.
Aboveground piping from Oxidation Ditch to Equalization Basin – looking northwest.
Stormwater
Shoreline Restoration Project. The City’s contractor, SDV Services, LLC, continues
stockpiling of construction materials at Banana River Park for future placement along the
eroded Banana River shoreline. The main goals of this Project are to (1) armor the shoreline
along both Banana River and Manatee Sanctuary Parks and (2) construct stormwater
swales to eliminate overland flow into the Banana River. Construction completion date:
July 1, 2017.
BMPTrains Seminar. Staff attended this ½ day event in Cocoa, Florida to obtain
information on the BMPTrains stormwater computer model. It is used to determine
optimum Best Management Practices (BMPs) and maximize Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) credits for stormwater improvement projects. The computer model will be used
to determine the most beneficial future stormwater improvement projects in the City.
Inlet/Manhole Cleaning. All stormwater inlets/manholes were opened and cleaned of
debris/sediment by the City’s Career Source Brevard Team. Most inlets/manholes were
free of debris/sediment; several manholes contained vegetative material and bottles/cans.
Inlet Replacements. The City’s contractor will be replacing five inlets with Type “C”
inlets in the Presidential Streets area at the following locations:
o NE and SE corners of North Atlantic Ave./Jefferson Ave.; and
o NE, SE and SW corners of Madison Ave./Poinsettia Ave.
This is part of the City’s long-term program to replace older stormwater inlets with Type
“C” inlets which trap vegetation and debris prior to entering the City’s stormwater system.
Stormwater Site Inspections. Over the next several weeks, Staff will be conducting
inspections of stormwater structures (e.g., ponds and retention areas) throughout the City
for any damages. Staff will also be conducting inspections of business properties for illicit
discharges to the City’s stormwater system. These inspections are required by the City’s

North Atlantic Avenue Streetscape Project. The City’s contractor installed 18 solar-
powered lights on the northern end of the North Atlantic Avenue corridor; remaining lights
