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.

Health Care Trends
The CBO’s (Congressional Budget Office’s) Estimate of the Affordable Health Care Act
Updated. (Health Affairs Resources, Reuters, Wall Street Journal)
As a result of two amendments key to the US House of Representatives healthcare bill, approved
and currently in the Senate intended to “reform and replace” the current Affordable Care Act
(ACA), the CBO has released the following revised assessments:
Large Spending and Tax Cuts
The AHCA would reduce federal spending by $1.1 trillion over 10 years, driven by $834 billion
in savings in the Medicaid program.
The bill would immediately repeal most of the ACA’s taxes (as was the case with the March
version), with two exceptions.
o Medicare payroll tax on upper-income households (top 1%) would not be repealed until
2023.
o Excise tax on high-cost insurance plans most commonly provided by employer group
plans, with premiums exceeding $10,800 for individuals or $29,500 for a family starting
in 2026.
Overall, the bill cuts taxes by $992 billion over 10 years.
Deficit Reduction
The net deficit reduction of the legislation would be $119 billion over the period 2017– 2026
less than the $150 billion reduction estimated by the CBO in March.
The House-passed bill added new funds for states to address high-cost cases in the insurance
market and provides more support for maternity and mental health care.
Reduced Insurance Enrollments
23 million more people uninsured by 2026 under the AHCA.
Fewer people able or willing to purchase non-group coverage.
More people would enroll in employer plans.
Medicaid enrollment decline by 14 million in 2026 as a result of rolling back federal matching
funds paid to States for healthcare coverage for children, persons with disabilities and the poor.
Eliminating tax penalties for those who elect to forego health insurance, some individuals will
return to going uninsured.
The AHCA MacArthur Amendment impacts employer and individual health plans. This
amendment allows states to grant insurers a “waiver” from providing “essential medical services” such
as, but not limited to, maternity care, well baby checks, mammograms and other preventative health
care services. The MacArthur Amendment is aimed at reducing premium costs by permitting insurers
to no longer “cover” essential services and charge higher premiums to persons with pre-existing
conditions.
Anticipated Impact: Health care plans would depend upon the state you live in.
States with limited insurer participation, largely rural and low population states historically less
profitable for insurers, would be more likely to seek waivers.
Half the nation’s population lives in states that would request waivers.
One-sixth of the nation’s population is expected to reside in states that drastically change
current plan requirements, including large changes in essential health benefits and much higher
premiums charged to people with health issues.
Premiums
In 2018 and 2019, the CBO projects that premiums would rise (relative to current law) in all
states as the repeal of the individual mandate’s penalty encourages younger and healthier people
to exit the market. The higher average cost of a less-healthy risk pool would drive up premiums.
Beginning in 2020, when the waiver option allows states to begin implementing plans that cover
less, premium changes would depend on how “bare bones” a state permits health plans to
become.
In states that do not pursue waivers, the CBO expects premiums to drop by 4 percent by 2026,
compared to current law because:
o Insurers will be permitted to charge older persons up to 5 times the rate for younger
enrollees.
o Tax credits which replace the current income driven health subsidies, do not vary with
the cost of coverage. As a result, many older people will face significantly higher
insurance premiums. With many older Americans no longer able to afford healthcare
premiums, the enrolled population will shift toward younger and healthier consumers.
Consumer Out-of-Pocket Expenses
Premium and out of pocket expenses would be so substantial in some states that many high-
cost enrollees would no longer be able to buy coverage at affordable rates. Consequently, the
insurance markets in these states would be much less stable than they are under current law.
CBO expects a few million Americans will purchase “catastrophic coverage” only plans,
leaving enrollees with no major medical or prescription insurance coverage. Enrollees in such
plans are considered uninsured.
While the Senate is currently working “behind closed doors” to bring the AHCA before the
Senate for a vote this summer, congressional sources reported June 13th that President Trump
has told Republican Senators that the House healthcare bill is "mean" and that the Senate
version should be "more generous". It‘s unknown what, if any, “enrichments” may be added
to the bill which would necessitate a return of the bill to the House for renewed consideration.
At a time when Employer Group Health Administrators are attempting to “lock in” 2017/18
premium rates, insurance providers are attempting to protect themselves financially regardless
of the what actions Washington may take. Bottom line, uncertainty is seen as the driving force
behind premium rate increases and providers pulling out of rural areas for fear current health
subsidies are going to end.
HR is recruiting and conducting interviews for the following City vacancies:
o Utilities Mechanic assigned to Public Works Services.
o Executive Assistant assigned to the City Manager’s Office.
o HR successfully filled FT Sr. Plant Operator and School Crossing Guard vacancy.
HR/Risk Management and members of the Finance Department met with FEMA Project
Manager in an effort to “hammer out” all remaining projects and documentation needed to
complete the City’s Hurricane Matthew claim. The team remains optimistic that a
conclusion to this process is near.
HR/Risk Management successfully negotiated the collection of $2,945.20 for City damages
incurred as a result of a construction project.
Please welcome Devan Taly, Recreation Leader assigned to
Culture and Leisure Services. In her third year at Eastern
Florida State College, Devan is currently pursuing a
Bachelor’s degree in General Business. Having worked as
an Activities Associate, planning fun and stimulating
activities for customers of all ages, Devan promises to add
to an already dynamite team.

Summer Camp - Monday morning campers competed in a few different relay races before
listening to a nutrition program put on by the University of Florida Institute of Food and
Agriculture Services of Brevard County. In this session, kids were taught different shapes and sizes
of food and people, then played a variety of games using shapes and objects to reinforce the lesson
that everyone is different. Monday afternoon kids were able to jump around and use the equipment
at Coastal Elite Gymnastics in Merritt Island; they enjoyed tumbling and bouncing all over the
gymnasium while learning how to properly do a cart wheel. Tuesday morning Camp headed to
the Cobb movie theater in Merritt Island to watch the Angry Birds Movie followed by scooter tag
on the blacktop of the basketball courts and an ice cream party to finish the day off. Wednesday
