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
Teens are Disappearing from America’s Workforce (Sources: Time, Reuters and Bloomberg)
This summer, American teenagers should find it easier to get a job, but it doesn’t look like they are
interested.
Here are the facts:
o A CareerBuilder survey of 2,587 employers released last month found that 41 percent were
planning to hire seasonal workers for the summer, up from 29 percent last year.
o Teens are likeliest to be working in July, according to data from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
o Last year, 43 percent of 16 to 19 year-olds were either working or looking for a job. That's
10 points lower than in July 2006.
o In 1988 and 1989, the July labor force participation rate for teenagers nearly hit 70 percent.
o Trends for teenagers show a clear pattern of decline over the last three decades.
o When recessions hit (in the early 1990s, early 2000s and from 2007 to 2009), teen labor
participation rates plunged. As the economy recovered, teen labor never bounced back.
o Teen labor force participation rate is expected to drop below 27 percent in 2024, 30% lower
than the rate in 1989.
So, why aren't teens working?
o They're being crowded out of the workforce by older Americans, now working past 65 at
the highest rates in more than 50 years.
o Parents are pushing kids to volunteer and sign up for extracurricular activities instead of
working, to impress college admission counselors.
o College-bound teens aren't looking for work because the money doesn't go as far as it used
to. Teen earnings are low and pay little toward the costs of college. The federal minimum
wage is $7.25 an hour.
o Millions of teenagers aren't working because they're studying instead. Over the last
few decades, education has taken up more of teenagers' time. Teens aren't going to
summer school just because they failed a class and need to catch up. They're enrolling
in enrichment courses and taking courses for college credit.
While pursuing academic excellence certainly has its benefits, a single-minded focus on
education has disadvantages. A summer job helps teenagers grow up and expands their
experience beyond school and home. Working teens learn how to manage money, deal with
bosses and get along with co-workers of all ages. Employers have been complaining for years
that young workers lack the “soft skills” needed to succeed in the workplace. Perhaps we have
a better idea why this is the case.
HR is recruiting and conducting interviews for the following City vacancies:
o Utilities Mechanic assigned to Public Works Services.
o Executive Assistant assigned to City Manager’s Office.
o School Crossing Guard assigned to HR.
o Plant Operator assigned to Public Works Services.
HR successfully filled the PT Recreation Leader position assigned to Culture and Leisure
Services with a June 14 start date.
HR investigated State certification changes implemented for school crossing guards and is
investigating training options for achieving compliance.
HR completed/submitted the City’s Pollution Legal Liability Renewal worksheet with few
changes from last year’s application. Updates to the application included an increase from
1,019 reclaimed water commercial customers served to 1,024 customers and an increase
from 1,720 to 1,737 residential reclaimed water customers.
HR/Risk Management continues to work with the City’s assigned FEMA Project Manager.
While all Florida FEMA claimants from 2016 storms received notification of a “glitch” in
the data worksheet provided for purposes of calculating reimbursements, we remain hopeful
that a closure can be achieved with minimal additional documentation submittals.
ACTIVE SHOOTER ACTION GUIDELINES
While we hope we never are faced with the prospect of defending ourselves against an active
shooter and thankfully the odds are we’ll never experience such an event, take a moment to
review the following lifesaving ACTION GUIDELINES that could save your life.
TAKE ACTION!
IF AT ALL POSSIBLE: EVACUATE – Run: If there is an accessible escape path, attempt
to evacuate the premises. Be sure to:
o Have an escape route and plan in mind.
o Evacuate regardless of whether others agree to follow.
o Leave your belongings behind.
o Help others evacuate, if possible.
o Call 911 when you are safe.
o Prevent individuals from entering an area where the active shooter may be.
o Keep your hands visible.
o Follow the instructions of any police officers.
o Do not attempt to move wounded people.
IF YOU CAN’T EVACUATE: SHELTER-IN-PLACE – Hide where the active shooter is
less likely to find you. Your hiding place should:
o Be out of the active shooter’s view.
o Provide protection if shots are fired in your direction (i.e., an office with a closed and
locked door).
o Not trap yourself or restrict your options for movement.
o Prevent an active shooter from entering your hiding place.
Lock the door.
Blockade the door with heavy furniture.
Silence your cell phone and/or pager.
Turn off any source of noise (i.e., radio/television).
Hide behind large items (i.e., cabinets/desks).
Remain quiet.
LAST RESORT: PROTECT YOURSELF – Fight only when your life is in imminent
danger; attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the active shooter by:
o Acting as aggressively as possible against him/her.
o Throwing items and improvising weapons.
o Yelling.
o Committing to your actions.
WHEN POLICE ARRIVE
o Put down any items in your hands.
o Keep hands visible.
o Follow all instructions.
o Avoid making quick movements towards officers.
o Do not stop to ask officers for help or direction when evacuating; just proceed in the
direction from which officers are entering the premises.
IT’S BACK!
With the arrival of the summer rainy season, preventing the spread of ZIKA again must be on people’s
minds. To date, seven babies have been born in Florida with birth defects linked to the ZIKA virus and
the Florida Department of Health reports 432 ZIKA cases involving pregnant women thus far this year.
It’s important for everyone to appreciate that ZIKA in an ongoing problem, particularly for
residents in the State of Florida.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY
Eliminate yard items (old tires, containers, bird baths, etc.) that collect water and enable
mosquito breeding.
Be sure window screens are in good repair and keep your home free from insects.
When working or playing out of doors, use EPA recommended mosquito repellent. This year,
manufacturers are clearly labeling repellents that contain the active ingredients proven to repel
ZIKA carrying mosquito.
Cover your arms, legs and feet when performing yard work or venturing into areas where
mosquitos are active. Spray your clothes with repellent.

Life Rescue Stations
The second local artist created Life Rescue Pole art pole design is being wrapped at Nine Mile
Media. Resident, artist and volunteer Melissa Bass created a wonderful peacock inspired design
for the Life Rescue Station at Harbor Drive.
Staff received an email from concerned resident Elana Whitehead regarding a position statement
released by the United States Lifesaving Association “Southeast Region” office about the Life
Rescue Stations. This statement, however, was not sent directly to the City by the USLA or USLA
“Southeast Region” office, cannot be found on their website and appears to only be a
jpeg/screenshot. Staff has not received any other new Life Rescue Station concerned feedback,
letters or group statements in recent weeks.
All information regarding the Life Rescue Station project can be found by visiting
http://cityofcapecanaveral.org/lrp including the position statement by the International Life
Saving Federation regarding Swimming and Water Safety Education.
Staff encourages interested residents/parties to read over the ILS statement paying particular
attention to:
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.
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
International Life Saving Federation Page 2 Lifesaving Position Statement – MPS-06.
Water Safety 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.
During recreation, common in high-income countries, risk factors include lack of use of
personal floatation devices, use of alcohol, recreation at unprotected bodies of water and
exceeding swimming ability.
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.
Drug Free Zone Sign Initiative
Staff has sent a concept DRUG FREE ZONE Community sign design to the City Attorney’s Office
and a key interested resident. Site specific park/school signs are also being created and resemble
the below examples.
Background for this 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. Staff reached out to 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 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

Report a Concern (Unedited)
What is your concern?: Winnebago encroaching on city sidewalk at 359 Madison Ave.
The property faces Magnolia Ave. Eyesore of trailer on lawn.
What is your concern?: I am not sure who to contact about this issue with my neighbors.
Code enforcement and animal control have been here several times over the last three
years, as well as, the sheriff's deputies. I live at 232 Canaveral Beach Blvd and the unit
next to me is 234 which is an eye sore. I've reported to the property owner with no avail.
They feed the wild cats who are not neutered and have produced another litter. They use
my back yard (fenced in) as a litter box and have destroyed flower beds and my cushions
on chairs. Their back yard is in terrible condition with overgrown Brazilian Pepper trees
and vines. The front yard is overflowing with yard chairs, bikes, numerous plastic toys,
beach rafts and toys, etc. they still have pillow cases filled with sand left over from the
hurricane. They have even left things on the property next to them which is vacant and
have more stuff off their property behind their fence in back. Everyone comments on it
and I am considering the need to remove my trees to erect a fence. It is an embarrassment
to have guests. Is there anything that can be done from your office? I have invested a
substantial amount of money in my unit and am upset that these tenants do not take care
of their property. In Michigan I lived in a gated community with HOA rules.
Unfortunately, their are no rules here except for city codes. Please help me!

Athletic Leagues - Due to inclement weather both Wednesday and Thursday, night leagues were
cancelled. Wednesday night advanced racquetball league will now begin makeup games next week
followed by playoffs. Wednesday night intermediate tennis league is in full gear with all eleven
players having really competitive matches every week. The third week of the Thursday night
intermediate tennis league will be played next week. Adult Co-Ed kickball and softball used the
night off to prepare for playoffs which are quickly approaching.
Summer Camp - The first week of Summer Camp started Tuesday, May 30. Campers were very
excited and played a few ice breaker games to get to know each other and Summer Staff. After
going over the rules, campers headed outside for many rounds of dodgeball. After playing in the
heat most of the morning, everyone headed inside for a movie and an ice cream party. Wednesday
morning started out at Canaveral City Park with a game of freeze tag. Wednesday afternoon
campers headed to the library for the kickoff party of the Summer Reading Program. A big Hermit
Crab race was held there where each camper was able to pick a favorite crab to race and all the
winners received small prizes. Thursday consisted of a fun filled day at the Cocoa Beach Aquatic
Center. All campers had to perform the swim test and although not everyone passed, many said
they would practice with hopes to pass for next week’s field trip. Friday, kids enjoyed playing
“sharks and minnows” along with free time, then the Camper of the Week presentation. Camper
of the Week is decided by Staff for a camper who demonstrated excellent behavior and leadership
skills throughout the week. One camper per week is given this honor making it a goal for all the
other campers. Friday afternoon finished at the library when kids turned in reading logs to receive
the first reading prize of the summer. Children are encouraged to read throughout the summer and
if they do, they receive a weekly reading prize in return. The second week of Camp started off
with the initial introduction of new campers and explanation of rules, then students participated in
a Family Nutrition program with a graduate from University of Florida Institute of Food and
Agriculture Services of Brevard County. The kids learned all about different kinds of germs on
their hands, in food and outside. After the lesson, kids went out to play a game called “Infection”
with kids teaming up and tagging other “non-infected” players. Monday finished with a movie
inside the Youth Center and an ice cream party. Tuesday morning campers made a trip to Shore
Lanes bowling alley in Merritt Island where they encouraged each other to knock over as many
pins as possible. Tuesday afternoon finished with a group bingo game for prizes. On Wednesday,
campers made slime to take home and then walked to the library to watch Mr. Jiggleman in action.
Thursday’s trip to the Cocoa Beach Aquatic Center was cancelled due to inclement weather. With
the rainy weather, campers made a puppet show using and decorating socks to perform with.
Friday, everyone made troll magnets and caught up on their weekly reading to receive prizes for
the Summer Reading Program; this is a great way to motivate and encourage children to read. The
week was capped off by a presentation for Camper of the Week for showing a positive attitude,
sportsmanship and respect to counselors and friends.

Canaveral City Park Exfiltration System. Staff met with St. Johns River Water
Management District (SJRWMD) technical personnel at Canaveral City Park to discuss the
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. Staff will also meet
with Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) personnel in the near future.
The City’s proposal includes connecting the reclaimed water hydrant on Jackson Avenue
to the exfiltration system for use when excess reclaimed water is available. The proposed
system is currently under review by SJRWMD.

system beneath Canaveral City Park – looking west.
Shoreline Restoration Project. The City’s contractor, SDV Services, LLC, completed
placement of rock and planting of native species 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.
Placement of sod is currently being performed at each Park. Staff is currently preparing the
final project invoice. Construction completion date: July 1, 2017. Current Project
construction completion: 98%.
