Cape Canaveral Vision Statement
We envision: A bikeable and walkable Cape Canaveral that retains and enhances its welcoming
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 oceanside and riverside as the main amenities, and supports and promotes local
tourism, culture, recreation, commerce, municipal civic interests and education.
We envision: A City network of “complete streets” 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 as The Space Between. 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: An engaged and compassionate 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, acts progressively but deliberately and actively recruits and
supports businesses that enhance economic viability and serve our residents and visitors with
goodwill.
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.

Labor Market Trends
Millennials (18-34 Year Olds) Influence on the Workforce
The Bureau of Labor Statistics 2014-24 Employment Projections are forecasting total employment
to reach 163.8 million jobs by 2024 with generational differences in values and work attitudes
becoming an additional component of diversity relations employers will be required to
accommodate. While each generational labor group has its own attitudes, expectations and
approaches to work, Millennials’ attitudes toward work appear to be significantly different from
those of previous Baby Boomers and Gen Xers. With Millennials projected to comprise up to 50
percent of the workforce by 2020, employers face significant challenges and need to learn what
drives this generation and how best to keep them engaged. The Millennial Hiring Trend Survey of
2017 provided the following findings well worth a closer look.
o Compensation is their #1 workplace priority. Having entered the workforce during “The
Great Recession”, this group suffered the highest rate of unemployment (15%) of any other
generation in America since the 1880’s. They are keenly aware that they have a lot of
catching up to do and are focused on ramping up their work and leadership skills
QUICKLY. During job interviews, they want to know immediately what the job pays and
have no patience for waiting until the offer stage to discuss money. Accustomed to today’s
fast paced technology driven world, Millennials are used to quick results and instant
gratification.
o Market Reputation, or online presence of a prospective employer is critical. Millennials
want to be associated with a “brand” that is recognized by their peers. Millennials are more
likely to use Twitter, Glassdoor and other career platforms to form impressions of a
company and its culture.
o A clear path up the ladder motivates Millennials to stay with their current employer.
More than half of Millennials say that a defined career path with incremental progression
to new roles in the company has the most impact on their decision to stay with an employer.
Millennials want employers to set clear goals with successful completion resting with them.
They want to know what they need to do in order to be promoted and receive a pay increase
and are attracted to companies that share real examples of employees who have advanced within
the company and how career pathing is a part of the organization’s culture.
o Millennials, while tech savvy lack knowledge of basic economic principles. They fail to
recognize they may soon have the upper hand in the job market. Accustomed to quick and
easy access to information, lengthy hiring processes and/or lack of feedback regarding their
status during the interviewing process can make Millennials feel unsure of their value or
lack confidence.
While Millennials’ career priorities are not unique, their experiences have created a filter
by which they view the world of work. Their Baby Boomer parents scheduled and structured
their every moment and they possess a sense of hopeful optimism. They have an inclusive
view of the world, are civic minded and think in terms of the greater good. Perhaps the best
advice to employers regarding attracting and retaining Millennials is as follows:
o Millennials need and want a strong workplace leader.
o Provide challenge and new learning opportunities.
o Let them work with friends or people they “click with”.
o Condone humor, fun and a little irreverence in the workplace.
o Treat their ideas respectfully.
o Provide workplace flexibility for the Millennial to pursue their many after work interests
and activities.
HR met with AARP Employment Specialists partnering with Career Source Brevard seeking
not-for-profit Host Agencies. Funded through the Federal Senior Community Service
Employment Program (SCSEP), the City is reviewing the feasibility of providing an opportunity
to a senior worker in need of ‘on the job’ training. Partnership guidelines allow a participating
employer to interview and select referred candidates. Working a maximum of 20 hours per week,
AARP Foundation funds the worker’s hourly wage and provides Workers’ Compensation
coverage. The City welcomes an opportunity to foster WIN WIN partnerships and is hopeful we
might arrange a successful Host Agency experience.
HR/Risk Management successfully negotiated resolution of three property damage claims to City
streetlight and signs totally $3,193.32 resulting from vehicular accidents. When presenting claim
losses, HR/Risk Management is careful to include Staff labor costs as well as material and/or
replacement costs. Essential to the success of achieving full restitution is the fine work of
Infrastructure Maintenance who is quick to identify and carefully document the damage as well
as implement repairs. A “shout out” to Brevard County Sheriff’s Department who is prompt in
identifying responsible parties/notifying the City.
Recruitment Update
HR is currently recruiting for the following positions:
o PT Recreation Leader assigned to Culture & Leisure Services.
o Utilities Mechanic assigned to Public Works Services.
o Executive Assistant assigned to City Manager’s Office.
Learn and Earn
HR completed the intake process for three summer employees assigned to Culture & Leisure
Services and Public Works Services. The City always welcomes College Students seeking the
opportunity to work, earn college money and learn about the many career possibilities available
through pursuing a career in municipal government. We can think of no better place to glean
exposure to a vibrant and innovative work environment than the City of Cape Canaveral. The
City strives to “our own advice” and welcomes area students. Without exception, said
experiences are deeply enriching for students and Staff alike.
Sofia Bahri, University of Central Florida Senior pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology,
has been assigned to the Public Works Services Plant Laboratory as a Lab Technician intern She’ll be
gaining knowledge about the environmentally critical function performed at the City’s Wastewater

Services. Brennah will, once again, work as a Recreation Leader ensuring the Cape Canaveral Summer
Camp kids have a safe, fun and learning enriched summer experience.
Raelynn Gross, sophomore at University of Central Florida pursuing a degree in Nursing, is assigned

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
TO: Municipal Managers, Clerks and Attorneys
FROM: Kraig Conn, Legislative Counsel
Casey Cook, Senior Legislative Advocate
SUBJ: 2017 Legislation on Public Records/Attorney’s Fees
DATE: May 24, 2017
During the 2017 legislative session, Enrolled CS/CS/SB 80 passed relating to public
records. The Governor signed the bill on May 23, 2017, which is the bill’s effective date.
That is, the provisions of the bill are now effective law throughout Florida. To implement
various parts of the new law, immediate action by your city is required.
While the new law relates specifically to the award of attorney fees in public record civil
actions, it’s intended to address the abuses in the public records process over the past
several years. A detailed review of the new law follows; however, it’s designed to
accomplish three primary goals: to be entitled to an award of attorney fees, a complainant
(requestor) must provide written notice of a public record request to the custodian of public
records (which is typically the city clerk); a complainant must not have requested to inspect
or copy a public record or participated in the civil action for an “improper purpose;” and if
there is an “improper purpose” the complainant may not recover any costs or attorney fees
and is responsible for paying for the city’s costs and attorney fees in the civil action.
A condition for the custodian of public records to receive written notice of the public record
request is that the custodian’s contact information must be prominently posted at the city’s
primary administrative building (in which public records are routinely created, sent,
received, maintained, and requested) and on the city’s website (if the city has a website).
If the custodian’s contact information is not prominently posted, the complainant is not
required to provide the written notice of the public record request. In operation, this means
that a public record requestor could make either a verbal public record request or make a
public record request to a person other than the custodian, and may be able to recover
attorney fees upon meeting the other conditions of the new law. Therefore, it is highly
recommended that each city prominently post the custodian’s contact information in the
city’s primary administrative building (typically city hall) and on the city’s website (if the
city has a website). The contact information should likely include:
the name of the custodian of public records
mailing address
email address
telephone number
fax number
The new law applies only to public record requests made on or after the effective date of
the law. Therefore, in order to take full advantage of the protections under the new law,
you are encouraged to prominently post the contact information for the city’s custodian of
public records immediately.
Public Records/Attorney Fees
CS/CS/SB 80 (Steube and Garcia)
The bill substantially modifies the attorney fees provision in chapter 119,
Florida Statutes, relating to public records. A court must assess the
reasonable costs of enforcement, including reasonable attorney fees, against
the responsible agency if the court determines: 1. the agency unlawfully
refused to permit the record to be inspected or copied; and 2. the complainant
provided written notice identifying the public record request to the agency’s
custodian of public records at least 5 business days before filing the civil
action. The 5 business day notice requirement is waived if the agency does
not prominently post the contact information for the agency’s custodian of
public records in the agency’s primary administrative building in which
public records are routinely created, sent, received, maintained, and
requested, and on the agency’s website, if the agency has a website.
The court must determine whether the complainant requested to inspect or
copy a public record or participated in the civil action for an “improper
purpose.” “Improper purpose” means a request to inspect or copy a public
record or to participate in the civil action primarily to cause a violation of
chapter 119 or for a frivolous purpose. If the court determines there was an
improper purpose, the court may not award the reasonable costs of
enforcement to the complainant, and must award against the complainant and
to the agency the reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney fees,
incurred by the agency in responding to the civil action.
The attorney fees section of chapter 119, Florida Statutes, does not create a
private right of action authorizing the award of monetary damages for a
person who brings an action to enforce the provisions of chapter 119.
Payments by the responsible agency may include only the reasonable costs
of enforcement, including reasonable attorney fees, directly attributable to a
civil action brought to enforce the provisions of chapter 119. The bill applies
only to public records requests made on or after the effective date of the bill.
Effective date: May 23, 2017.

Local Artist Donates Artwork for New City Hall - Long time Cape Canaveral resident, Marlene
Woodside, has donated one of her paintings to the City for display in the New City Hall. Mrs.
Woodside is a professional artist with a lifelong passion for the arts. Her works have been exhibited
in juried and non-juried shows, earning many ribbons and awards. She has also been featured in
various publications and in 1999, her design was selected for use on the Melbourne Beach
Founder’s Day t-shirt. Over the years, Mrs. Woodside has been very active in local art
organizations including the Brevard Watercolor Society and the Central Brevard Art Association.
In 1997, she was one of the founders of the Strawbridge Art League in Melbourne, Florida. A
second passion has been her love for the City of Cape Canaveral. It was love at first sight when
she and her family relocated to the area in 1965. When the town voted to establish the
Beautification Board, she was one of the first volunteer members and was awarded a Key to the
City in 1989 for her efforts. Her spirt of volunteerism continues as a member of the Culture and
Leisure Services Advisory Board and through her advocacy for the advancement of the arts in her
community. The City of Cape Canaveral is proud to display the creative work of its residents and
is grateful for Mrs. Woodside’s very generous donation.
Beach Safety Poster Contest – Our Saviors School - Culture and Leisure Services Staff had the

attended presentations by retired Brevard County Lifeguard Chief, Wyatt the Waterman, and were
asked to make posters illustrating what they learned. The City’s Cultural Programs Manager served
as a judge for the contest, reviewing the student submissions from grades 1-4 at Our Savior’s
Catholic School and helped present awards to the winning students.
Athletic Leagues - Wednesday night advanced racquetball and intermediate tennis were both

top two teams, Sapphire Lounge and Pitch Slap, facing off in a tough game. A new Thursday night
intermediate tennis league started play with eight participants excited to get on the court.
City Hall Call For Artwork - As part of the City’s burgeoning Public Arts Program, Staff has
initiated a campaign encouraging local artists to become stakeholders in Cape Canaveral’s cultural
landscape by showcasing their talents in the City’s public spaces. The Culture and Leisure Services
Department has issued a Call for Artwork, inviting resident artists to loan or donate pieces of art
to be put on display in the New City Hall. Artists interested in contributing should contact Cultural
Programs Manager Molly Thomas at 321-868-1226 or via email at

Water Management District (SJRWMD) technical personnel at Canaveral City Park in
early-June to discuss possible discharge of reclaimed water into the newly-installed
exfiltration system. This would further limit discharges of reclaimed water to the Banana
River Lagoon and increase the City’s credits in the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
Program.
Shoreline Restoration Project. The City’s contractor, SDV Services, LLC, completed
placement of rock at selected locations along Banana River Park and Manatee Sanctuary
Park shorelines. Rock was placed along the shorelines to prevent future erosion in areas
where native vegetation (e.g., mangroves) is not present. Swale construction, planting of
native species and placement of sod are currently being performed at each Park.
Construction completion date: July 1, 2017. Current project construction completion: 90%.
Prep of shoreline for planting of native species and sod – looking south.
Fertilizer Restrictions. The summer fertilization ban runs from June 1 through September
30. The purpose of the restrictions is to limit surface runoff of phosphorous and nitrogen
and help restore water and habitat quality in the Banana River Lagoon.
Infrastructure Maintenance (IM)
North Atlantic Avenue Streetscape Project. A commercial driver struck one of the solar
lights near the northern end of the North Atlantic Avenue corridor. The solar light was
repaired and re-installed the week of May 22.

City of Cape Canaveral Fertilizer Usage Regulations Purpose: To limit surface runoff of phosphorous and nitrogen and help restore water and habitat quality in the Banana River Lagoon. REQUIRED: No Applying Fertilizer: Between June 1 and September 30; During a Flood, Tropical Storm or Hurricane Watch or Warning period; Within 10 feet of any waterbody (canals, ponds or the Banana River Lagoon); Within 30 days after seeding or sodding; To saturated soils; Having less than 50% slow‐release nitrogen; and Containing phosphorous, without soil testing. No grass clippings or vegetative debris left in roadway, curb or stormwater conveyance system. Fertilizer spilled on impervious surfaces must be swept or vacuumed up – no water cleanup. EXEMPTIONS: Vegetable gardens; Fruit trees; Public parks; and Athletic fields. ENCOURAGED: 10‐foot shoreline low maintenance buffer; Native plant buffer along shoreline of Banana River Lagoon; and 10‐foot fertilizer‐free zone along roadways. City of Cape Canaveral Best Management Practices for a Healthy Lagoon Blow clippings back onto grass or landscaped areas. Using a mulching mower returns nutrients to the soil and helps save landfill space. Use low nitrogen or organic fertilizers and pesticides. Use sparingly, never within two feet of curbing, driveways or waterways. Store chemicals out of rain and away from roadways, storm drains and waterways. Chemicals include fertilizers, pesticides, lubricants, waste oil, fuel, antifreeze and hydraulic oil. Store materials, stockpiles and equipment out of rain and wind. Cover equipment with plastic and drain fluids for long‐term storage. Inspect equipment and vehicles often for leaks. Transfer fluids carefully and use drip pans or drop cloths to catch spills. Cleanup leaks/spills immediately to prevent contamination of soils and offsite areas. Never hose down spills. Keep absorbent materials onsite for prompt cleanup. Encourage native plants, shrubs and trees. Require little, if any, water, fertilizer or pesticides. Keep stormwater curbs, swales and storm drains trash and debris free. Debris in waterways increases the likelihood of algae blooms and low oxygen water, which cannot support our fragile aquatic or marine life.
PWS Oxidation ditch refurbishment project is on schedule and complete bypass of the ditch was
completed this week by Florida Design. Temporary bypass pumps are online full time and the
project continues to proceed smoothly. Completion approximately as originally scheduled.
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Piping is welded by an on site heating process and pipe melts
together forming the bypass piping from the oxidation ditch. The ultimate goal of the Oxidation
Ditch project is to refurbish the concrete structure that forms the “ditches” for flow of waste in the
treatment process.
Workers finalize piping installation prior to finale bypass of oxidation ditch.
