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.
City of Cape Canaveral
May4, 2017
Concerned Residents of Cape Canaveral (CROCC)
RE: CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL FINANCIAL STABILITY
The following information is a factual account of the City's current financial standing. One word
can encapsulate this account: "Strong". The City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR) Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016 contains the financial statements that show the
City's net assets, liabilities and all aspects that support its financial stability. The City's Audit
is performed by James Moore Certified Public Accountants and Consultants, who report to the
City Council. Before submitted, the audit report goes through a peer review by an independent
audit firm as part of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICP A)
requirements. The Independent Accountants ' Examination Report in the CAFR reinforces this
by the following: "In our opinion, the City of Cape Canaveral, Florida, complied, in all material
respects, with the aforementioned requirements for the year ended September 30, 2016." The
CAFR is readily available on the City's website.
The City's net assets have increased and exceeded its liabilities by $46.1 million (net position).
Of this amount, $9 Million (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the City's ongoing
obligations. The total revenues for FY15-16 were $11.1 Million; $3 Million of which are Ad
Valorem Taxes. The strength of the City's financial position is the strongest it has ever been. At
present, the only debt the City is repaying, is a $5.5 Million Capital Improvement note, at a low
interest rate of 1.99% for 10 years, of which 7 years remain. Additionally, the City has a State
Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan for $5.3 million at a low 1.68% interest rate. The loan repayment
begins in June 2018 with semi-annualloan payments of $173,207 and ends in June 2031. As a
result, the City will reap huge benefits from its investments. The $5.5 Million General
Government loan has resulted in completion of a New Fire Station, Refurbished Wastewater
Treatment Plant and a New City Hall (completion date June 2017). The investment in these
completed projects, alone, will represent an estimated $12 million in assets based on the current
market. The $5.3 Million State Revolving Fund loan is and will continue to benefit the citizens
of Cape Canaveral well into the future as well as help fund wastewater and storm water projects
which ensure safety and stability and help clean up the Indian River Lagoon. Additionally, in the
last five years the City has received over $5.0 Million in Grants to help fund its Capital projects.
The long term effect will surely increase revenues and quality of life. Citizens of Cape Canaveral
can feel proud and reassured that City Council and Staff are investing smartly and know that the
City's Net Assets will continue to grow dramatically. As Capital Projects like these and others
continue to flourish, so too will the City's overall worth.

The FY 2016-2017 Budget and Capital Improvement Plan, which can be found on the City's
Website, contains the estimated revenues and expenditures for the Fiscal Year and all the Capital
Improvement Projects that the City will accomplish throughout this year and the subsequent four
years.
The Strategic Planning Retreat was held on March 29, 2017, which included City Council, Staff
and residents who wished to attend to discuss the City's Vision Statement going forward, which
included Six Major Projects: Canaveral City Park Redevelopment, Cultural Arts Preservation
Enrichment Center, Inspiration Park, Whimsy Park, Polk A venue Streetscape and Cherie Down
Park all totaled at $19 Million. The City Council was very supportive and will vote at the May
2017 Council Meeting on whether to move forward on all Six Projects or choose another
direction.
Finally, the boom/expansion at Port Canaveral will continue to have a very positive effect on
Cape Canaveral by increasing property values and revenues. As the City pushes forward with
Development and Redevelopment, residential and commercial real estate will reach new highs.
This will be a benefit to all.

Legal and Legislative Updates
House Republicans approved bill to change overtime rules for workers
In a bill Republicans say will add flexibility to hourly workers' schedules, the House of Representatives
passed a bill intended to implement major changes to current overtime rules.
Under the proposed bill, eligible employees, if their employer decides to offer the option, would be
able to voluntarily choose to receive comp time they can bank and use at a future date in lieu of
immediate overtime pay in their paychecks. If they change their minds and want the pay after all,
employees would have the option of “cashing out," with the employer required to pay the overtime
within 30 days.
Although its fate is unclear in the Senate, the White House supports the bill, saying it will “help
American workers balance the competing demands of family and work by giving them flexibility to
earn paid time off."
(Source: Washington Post)
What to Know about the House approved American Health Care Act
The American Health Care Act goes a long way to fulfilling the Republicans' seven-year pledge to
repeal former President Obama's landmark health reform law. Republican sponsors are aggressively
moving forward with this latest version of the American Health Care Act without full Congressional
Budget Office analysis. Sharing many provisions with the last unsuccessful version, the following
represents Americans’ “best guess” on what to expect.
Reduce by 24 million the number of Americans with health insurance coverage.
Replace ACA subsidies with refundable tax credits based mainly on age but to a lesser degree
earnings. Tax credits will be reduced for individuals earning $75,000 and eliminated for those
earning $215,000. Families earning $150,000 will see credits dwindle while those earning more
than $290,000 will receive no tax credits.
Permit each state to decide if they want to require insurance provider to provide “essential medical
services” such as maternity coverage, prenatal care, wellness exams, mammograms, well baby and
birth control. What services are covered will depend on what state you reside in.
Individuals earning less than $30,000 per year, currently half of all ACA enrollees, will see
assistance in paying out of pocket costs eliminated.
Insurance companies will be permitted to impose a 30% increase on premiums for individuals who
allow or are forced due to financial hardship into a lapse of coverage greater than 63 days.
Eliminate requirement that people have health coverage or face a penalty.
Eliminate the mandate that employers with 50 or more employees provide health insurance for
their employees.
Weaken protections for people with pre-existing conditions. States may request waivers that
allow carriers to charge higher premiums for people with pre-existing conditions only for states
that set up a high risk pool providing coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.
Limit federal responsibility for Medicaid by sending each state a fixed amount of money per
Medicaid enrollee and shift the cost of care for the disabled, elderly and poor to the states. If
states are unable to pay the cost difference, benefits will not be provided. States that accepted
the Medicaid expansion under ACA, will be at a distinct advantage when the time comes to
determine how much each state receives. (Florida did not accept the ACA Medicaid expansion
and will thus receive a significantly reduced amount of money.)
Permit insurers to charge five (5) times the standard premium rate for those in their 50’s and
60’s and reduce rates for younger enrollees.
Eliminate funding for drug recovery programs.
Eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
Permit parents to maintain adult children on employer health plans through age 26.
Eliminate the ACA tax (3.8%) charged to wealthy Americans, insurers, drug makers and medical
device makers. The following taxpayer will benefit from this 3.8% tax cut:
o Individuals earning more than $200,000 ($250K families). Top 2% wage earners.
o All insurance, drug and medical device maker companies.
Repeal ACA tax for individuals with capital gains earnings on stocks and investments.
Leading patient advocacy groups as well as the AMA and AARP continue to oppose the bill stating
that it will hurt the sick, elderly and disabled.
o American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network
o American Diabetes Association
o American Heart Association
o American Lung Association
o Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
o JDRF
o March of Dimes
o National Organization for Rare Disorders
o National MS Society
o WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease
Having passed the House of Representatives by a slim margin, the Bill now goes to the Senate.
President Trump has confirmed his support for the Bill as approved by the House.
NLRB Affirms New Standard on Employee Email Use
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) affirmed that if an employer provides employees with
access to their email system, employee use of email for statutorily protected communications on non-
working time is permitted. This standard was applied to an employer’s communications policy that
prohibited employees from engaging in activities on behalf of organizations or persons with no
professional or business affiliation with the company or sending uninvited email of a personal nature.
A union seeking to organize the company’s workers objected to the policy, arguing that it interfered
with their freedom of choice in the union election. An administrative law judge (ALJ) initially found
the employer’s policy lawful, but the NLRB reversed in Purple Communications I. The Board
established a new standard that “employee use of email for statutorily protected communications on
non-working time must presumptively be permitted by employers who have chosen to give
employees access to their email systems.” The Judge applied the new standard and found the
employer’s policy unlawful. The Board affirmed in a 2-to-1 vote. Although a dissent filed by the
Acting Chair characterized the new standard as “incorrect” and “unworkable,” employers are stuck
with it for the time being.
Wellness Programs Under Fire Once Again
To settle charges from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) of operating a
wellness program in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Orion Energy Systems
Inc. has agreed to pay $100,000 and tweak the program. In one of a handful of suits challenging
employer wellness programs filed by the agency in 2014, the EEOC said Orion ran afoul of the statute
by requiring employees to disclose their medical history, submit to blood tests and perform certain
exercises on a range-of-motion machine and then fired an employee after she refused to take part.
Orion argued the program was voluntary and, therefore, in compliance with federal law. A district
court judge agreed the program was voluntary, but found a factual issue remained with the treatment
of the employee. The parties then reached a settlement agreement. Pursuant to a three-year consent
decree, Orion will be prohibited from maintaining a program that poses disability-related inquiries
or seeks a medical examination that is not voluntary and will pay the employee $100,000.
Recruiting for Youthful Workforce leads to Age Discrimination Lawsuit
Texas Roadhouse pays 12M to settle Age Discrimination Lawsuit
In March 2017, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced that Texas
Roadhouse agreed to pay $12 million to settle an age discrimination suit brought by the agency on
behalf of applicants that the EEOC charged had been denied front-of-the-house positions such as
bartenders, servers, hosts and server assistants because of their age.
The suit claimed the restaurant chain violated federal law by engaging in a nationwide pattern or
practice of age discrimination in hiring front-of-the-house employees, alleging that only 1.9 percent
of Texas Roadhouse’s hosts, bartenders and servers were 40 or older, compared with 21 percent of
employees in similar jobs nationally. It also claims that Texas Roadhouse’s job applications show
employees in their teens or 20s and that the company talks up its “young, fun, cute and bubbly people”
in training meetings. The lawsuit says some older applicants were told they “wouldn’t fit in” or might
not be able to keep up and that the restaurant was looking for someone “young and perky”. The
restaurant chain countered that they were lawful because they were job-related and consistent with
business necessity. Employees are required to dance, wear jeans and work weekends. EEOC
countered by taking the position that employers should not assume older applicants do not have “the
energy or excitement or whatever they’re trying to capture.”
In addition to the monetary payment, Texas Roadhouse agreed to a consent decree for the next 3½
years requiring the restaurant chain to increase recruiting and hiring of employees age 40 and older
for front-of-the-house positions. The company must also establish a diversity director and pay for a
decree compliance monitor.

efficiencies and ensure the City’s ability to promote from within.
Atlantic Hurricane Season 2017 Predictions Released
A slightly below-average Atlantic hurricane season could be on the way, according to Colorado State
University (CSU) officials. CSU will issue updates to its 2017 forecast on June 1, July 3 and Aug. 2.
If the folks at Colorado State University are correct, the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season may be below
average in regard to activity. The hurricane researchers on the school’s Tropical Meteorology Protect
team are predicting 11 named storms during the upcoming season, which runs from June 1 to Nov.
30. A synopsis of CSU’s projections are as follows:
11 named storms will become hurricanes, with two likely to reach major hurricane status. Major
hurricanes are category 3, 4 and 5 storms on the Saffir/Simpson scale. They have maximum
sustained winds of at least 111 mph. Last year's Hurricane Matthew, for example, was a major
hurricane. It was blamed for several deaths in the Sunshine State and left an estimated 1.1
million Floridians without power. The same storm was blamed for more than 840 deaths in
Haiti.
A slightly below-average season is based on the “potential that weak to moderate El Niño could
develop by the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season”, El Niño tends to increase upper-level
westerly winds across the Caribbean into the tropical Atlantic, tearing apart hurricanes as they
try to form.
The tropical Atlantic is running a bit cooler than normal at present.
2017 will be about 85 percent of the average season. That compares with 2016’s season that
produced hurricane activity that was about 135 percent of the average.
For the 2017 season, it predicts the following probabilities for major storm landfall:
42 percent probability for the entire U.S. coastline
24 percent probability for the U.S. East Coast, including the Florida peninsula
24 percent for the Gulf Coast, from the Panhandle west to Brownsville, Texas
34 percent for the Caribbean
For tips on how to prepare for the 2017 Hurricane season visit Ready.gov.
HR reached out to the City’s newly assigned FEMA Project Manager and departing contracted
Project Manager in order to ensure all data, photos, worksheets, documents and receipts have been
seamlessly transferred to FEMA.
HR/Risk Management has commenced the process of submitting asset and manpower data
necessary for obtaining the City’s 2017/18 Property, General Liability, Automobile and Workers’
Compensation insurance quotes. HR/Risk Management will strive to ensure the City achieves the
greatest level of risk protection and intends on “driving a hard bargain” during negotiations for
insurance coverage. While FMIT will be submitting renewal rates, the City will prudently accept
and consider other leading industry providers’ offers for providing risk management services to the
City.
A WIN WIN Partnership
The City of Cape Canaveral fully utilized the offer of Hurricane Matthew manpower and resource
assistance, at no cost to the City, in order to complete restoration projects. The City used the
opportunity to achieve IMPROVED restoration.
Hi Jane.
Well, we closed out our work last Friday at the City of Cape Canaveral and I wanted to send a
Thank You note. It was our privilege to serve the City of Cape Canaveral. We want to sincerely
Thank You for partnering with us and giving us the opportunity. We appreciate the confidence you

the workers asked that I say a Thank You on their behalf too for providing them with the
opportunity to work.
I can’t close without telling you how amazing Tim Carlisle was to work with. He was such a good
natured partner and he was incredibly generous with myself and the workers to provide his time,
guidance and expertise. This was truly one of those experiences where great partners with great
intentions did great things! It was truly our pleasure to work with Tim.
Again, Thank You So Much, Jane for providing the opportunity to us and the workers.

Top 9 Workplace Violence Safety Myths
Myth # 1: Workplace Violence Is Random and Unpredictable.
This type of myth is dangerous. It allows people to deny that there is anything that can be done to
address violence and to step back from the responsibility for violence prevention. Pay close attention
to how an employee speaks to others in the workplace.
Myth # 2: Crazy People Commit the Most Violence.
It is a fact that, since only 5% of severely disturbed individuals are actually violent and the vast majority
of those individuals are either incarcerated or hospitalized, most violence is not committed by "crazy"
people.
Myth # 3: Workplace violence is a guy thing and women shouldn't worry about it.
Women share the field almost equally when it comes to being the attacker and the victim. Women are
involved in workplace violence to an excessive 65%.
Myth # 4: Security guards and metal detectors will prevent workplace violence.
Such security measures do little to stop a determined perpetrator of a crime. In fact, security guards
and detection devices do little more than cause an attacker to think more creatively.
Myth # 5: He just "snapped." We can't prevent it because there are no warning signs.
In 80% of all incidents of workplace violence, warning signs went unheeded. Awareness heads the list
and is the easiest and most successful means for surviving a workplace violence attack. Early awareness
and action can save property, lives and money.
Myth # 6: We have insurance to cover the cost of damage.
Most workers wrongly believe that they are covered completely by whatever insurance coverage is in
place to protect the company, but you may find that your insurance policy has clauses that exclude
damages from certain types of actions.
Myth # 7: We have a workplace violence prevention policy so we're safe.
Most companies still do not have workplace violence plans, policies or training programs. Such
companies have neglected critical prevention and preparedness awareness.
Myth # 8: It will never happen here.
The truth is that workplace violence can and does happen in any business, at anytime and anywhere.
Myth # 9: Verbal Threats Are "Just Talk"
Verbal threats of violence are a real warning sign and cannot be ignored.

Long Point Rd. Hurricane Matthew Clean-up
The Hurricane Matthew related cleanup project at the end of Long Point Rd has finished There
was a large amount of down/damaged trees left in the Long Point Rd. area from Hurricane
Matthew. The crew cleared roughly three (3) acres of trees/foliage, which consisted of 98%
invasive Brazilian Pepper trees. The cleared trees were chipped into several forty (40) yard roll off
dumpsters before being removed from the work site.
There is potential for an Army Corps of Engineers project 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. This project has been on the
docket for close to ten (10) years.

Drug Free Zone Sign Initiative
Upon recommendation by a resident via email, and City Council Meeting, Staff has been
researching use/installation of Drug Free Zone signs in the City of Cape Canaveral. Staff has
reached out to the BCSO, who in turn reached out to the State Attorney’s Office and then all
research was passed to the City Attorney’s Office. The use of the signs would create more
awareness to the drug problems in the City. Staff was informed that the signs do not need to be
posted for Florida State Statue 893.13 to be effective, but everyone agrees awareness/prevention
is KEY. To read more about FSS 893.13, please visit this link

from the public.
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)/Sanitary Sewer System
Oxidation Ditch Rehabilitation Project. Contractor initiated bypass operations to begin
inspection and repairs of the oxidation ditch. The Anoxic Basin will serve as a temporary
oxidation ditch for the next 3-4 months. 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: 30%.
Pumping of sewage from oxidation ditch to Anoxic Basin - looking west.
City Park Exfiltration System. Staff will meet with St. Johns River Water Management
District (SJRWMD) the week of May 8 to further investigate the possible discharge of
excess reclaimed water to the exfiltration system instead of the Banana River. If permitted,
this scenario would also increase the City’s credits under the Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) Program.
Stormwater
Shoreline Restoration Project. The City’s contractor, SDV Services, LLC, continues
placing rock at selected locations along the Banana River Park shoreline. Rock is being
placed along the shoreline to prevent future erosion in areas where native vegetation (e.g.,
mangroves) is not present. Work will be completed at Banana River Park and then proceed
to Manatee Sanctuary Park. Construction completion date: July 1, 2017. Current project
construction completion: 25%.
Rock placement along shoreline at Banana River Park (note that native vegetation was
not removed) – looking south.
Rock placement near kayak launch at Banana River Park - looking north.
Inlet Replacements. The City’s contractor is currently 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./Poinsetta 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. Staff is conducting inspections of stormwater structures
(e.g., ponds and retention areas) throughout the City for any damages. Staff is also
conducting inspections of business properties for illicit discharges to the City’s stormwater
system. These inspections are required by the City’s National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) [stormwater]) permit.
Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) Meeting. The next BMAP Meeting is
scheduled for May 16 in Cocoa, Florida. Stormwater improvement projects constructed in
2016 will be discussed as well as proposed projects for 2017. Current environmental
conditions in the Indian River Lagoon will also be a topic of discussion.
Infrastructure Maintenance (IM)
Estuary Restoration Project. Staff met with a developer who requires mitigation for a
new construction project in Cocoa, Florida. The developer has offered to clear-cut 3-4 acres
of the City’s property located at the western end of Long Point Road. The property is 90%
covered in Brazilian pepper trees. The City also received a grant from the US Army Corps
of Engineers (USACOE) several years ago to clear-cut the City’s property and plant native
species. Both options for this property are currently being reviewed by City Staff and
USACOE.
Brevard County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) Emergency Generator. A 100kw emergency
generator was ordered for the BCSO Annex and the City Hall Building. When installed,
the generator will service both the BCSO Annex and the redeveloped City Hall Building.
Total cost (includes trenching and underground cable installation): $76,843. This was a
budgeted item for FY16-17 and concludes the Program to purchase emergency generators
for key City facilities.
Transit Shelter Repairs. Replacement garbage cans were received from Space Coast Area
Transit (SCAT) and were installed at each transit shelter by City Staff. Several of the
existing transit shelters will be moved to new locations upon delivery of additional shelters
from SCAT.
