This residential and business friendly atmosphere is a livable, 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 walkable 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.

Managing Traumatic Stress After the Hurricanes (American Psychological Association) It’s common for people to experience strong emotional reactions with the arrival of a hurricane and its accompanying damage to homes and community infrastructures. If you are experiencing distress in the wake of the recent hurricanes, you are not alone. Understanding common responses to extreme events can help you to cope effectively with your feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Putting into practice some of these tips can help you along the path to managing the storm's aftermath and feeling better. There are a number of steps you can take to help restore emotional well-being and a sense of control in the wake of the hurricane or other traumatic experience, including:  Recognize that this is a challenging time but one you can manage. You've tackled hardships at other times in your life. Tap into the skills you used to get through past challenges.  Allow yourself to mourn the losses you have experienced. Recognize that you may experience a variety of emotions and their intensity will likely diminish over time.  Take a news break. Watching replays of footage from the hurricane can make your stress even greater. Often, the media tries to interest viewers by presenting worst case scenarios. These may not be representative of your home or community.  Ask for support. Look for support from the people who care about you; those who listen and empathize with your situation. Keep in mind that your typical support system may be weakened if those close to you also have experienced or witnessed the hurricane.  Find ways to express yourself when ready. Communicating your experience through talking with family or close friends, keeping a diary or other forms of self-expression can be a source of comfort. Find out about local support groups led by appropriately trained and experienced professionals. Support groups are often available in communities following large-scale disasters. People can experience relief and comfort connecting with other hurricane survivors who have had similar reactions and emotions. These can be especially helpful for people with limited personal support systems.  Engage in healthy behaviors to enhance your ability to cope with excessive stress. Eat well- balanced meals and get plenty of rest. If you experience difficulties sleeping, you may be able to find some relief through relaxation techniques. Avoid alcohol and drugs since these can increase a sense of depression and/or impede you doing what is necessary to be resilient and cope with events.  Establish or reestablish routines. Maintain routines such as eating meals at regular times and following an exercise program. Take some time off from the demands of daily life by pursuing hobbies or other enjoyable activities.  Avoid major life decisions. If possible, avoid major life decisions such as switching jobs because these activities tend to be highly stressful. Most importantly, be kind to yourself and others. Give yourself some time to recover. Vacancy Update The City of Cape Canaveral, Finance Department is looking for a Part-Time Accountant. For full job details go to: www.cityofcapecanaveral.org and download a City of Cape Canaveral Employment Application. Call HR at: (321) 868-1220 Ext. 225 if you have questions. Hurricane Matthew FEMA Update While Staff have completed the extensive FEMA claims process and have been assured of that we have achieved full compliance in the submittal of all damages, receipts for payment of damages and photographs of damages, we still await release of reimbursement funds from the State for expenditures largely uncovered by our insurer FMIT. Hurricane Irma Update HR/Risk Management immediately commenced the process of gathering documentation relating to damaged incurred as a result of Hurricane Irma. Unfortunately, damages will exceed those initially sustained by Hurricane Irma, largely because of the flooding experienced at the PWS Wastewater Plant. While the City did not experience system failure or power loss, the exceptional amount of flow caused by heavy rainfall overwhelmed Lift Station #13 causing extensive flooding of the first floor of the Plant Operations Building. Staff acted decisively to contain the wastewater overflow to the Plant with no overflow of wastewater to people’s homes or City streets. Recovery and restoration began immediately and while FMIT is exercising their 5% deductible based on the value of the Plant, the City is pursuing benefits under its National Flood Insurance Policy. Remaining losses will be submitted to FEMA for reimbursement. The City incurred further damages to its City Parks facilities. Recovery is underway. Risk Management and Department Staff will conduct a thorough assessment of all facilities and damages incurred as a result of Hurricane Irma. Staff are determined to critically examine the ability of City assets to sustain future extreme weather events with little to no damage. Any assets that sustain damage will be reconstructed in a manner that reduces the likelihood of damages in the future. When the going gets tough, the tough get tougher! Safety HR/Risk Management would like to commend Staff for their tireless efforts to contain and minimize damages prior, during and following Hurricane Irma. Under urgent and stressful working conditions, Staff performed their duties effectively, efficiently and most importantly safely. There were no reports of injuries throughout the many hours of work. October 6 through October 20, 2017 (5:00 PM) If you are eligible for City Health, Vision, Dental and/or Life/LTD benefits through the City, plan on attending one of the following Information Workshops conducted by Brombacher Insurance, LLC and American Fidelity Insurance. Please coordinate workshop attendance with your supervisor. The room is not as large as our PWS training room, so Supervisors and Directors are asked to limit attendance to 50% of staff per session. When: Friday, October 6, 2017 Session Times: 1st Session 9:00-10:30 2nd Session 10:30-12:00 Where: Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, Cape Canaveral Precinct (next to the current City Hall.) Unless you experience an IRS qualified major life event, also referred to as a Qualifying Status Change Event, such as marriage, divorce or the birth/adoption of a child, Open Enrollment represents the only time during the year you may make changes to your employer paid or payroll deducted pre-tax benefit. Community Engagement Update for Week Ending September 22, 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. Staff Has Learned Barrier Island at Risk of Losing All Potable Water. Staff has been notified that the Sykes Creek Bridge on Sea Ray Drive was closed after post-Irma inspections showed it suffered severe damage during the Hurricane. Unless shored up, the bridge - which contains the sole-functioning water main for Cape Canaveral and the rest of the Barrier Island - is in imminent danger of collapse. The indefinite loss of potable water raises serious issues regarding the public health, safety and welfare of residents and local businesses. Areas that would go without water for an indefinite amount of time if the bridge were to collapse include the entirety of:  Cape Canaveral  Merritt Island  Port Canaveral  Cape Canaveral Air Force Station  Patrick Air Force Base  5,614 residents between Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach  1,740 Commercial Connections Actions Staff is Taking: Staff is doing everything they can to immediately rectify the matter by reaching out to U.S. elected representatives to request the Sykes Creek Bridge repair be funded under the President’s Major Disaster Declaration (DR-4337). We need their help to #letitflow! Below is a list of the U.S. Congressman and Senators that Staff is contacting, as these are the elected officials who represent the areas at risk of losing all potable water: Rick Scott  Governor  (850) 717-9337  Twitter @FLGovScott  Facebook www.facebook.com/scottforflorida/ Bill Posey  Congressman from Florida's 8th district, representing the Space and Treasure Coasts  (321) 632-1776  Twitter @congbillposey  Facebook www.facebook.com/bill.posey15 Bill Nelson  U.S. Senator Bill Nelson  (407) 872-7161  Twitter @senbillnelson  Facebook www.facebook.com/billnelson/ Marco Rubio  U.S. Senator Marco Rubio  (407) 254-2573  Twitter @marcorubio  Facebook www.facebook.com/SenatorMarcoRubio Why This is Not an Easy Fix: In the past week, Staff has received numerous updates from the Brevard County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) that the bridge has been inspected by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In the process, Staff has learned the bridge and creek are not federally maintained, meaning the USACE has no authority to repair the damage. Local governments do not have the ability or resources to handle this project. Therefore, Staff is trying to draw attention to the matter so that the bridge containing the water main can be restored to soundness through President Trump's Major Disaster Declaration (DR-4337) which funds emergency protective measures at 100%. Without financial assistance from the Major Disaster Declaration DR-4337, Cape Canaveral and the Barrier Island could be without any water for an indefinite amount of time. Staff is trying to expedite the matter to the furthest extent possible, as it is projected that this water loss will be of longer duration than that we experienced during Hurricane Irma. Highlights:  Community engagement with residents regarding: o Upcoming City Events (Trunk or Treat) o Hurricane Season  Tropical Storm IRMA  Hurricane Harvey  Signing up for NIXLE o City maintained grass/mowing/parks o Upcoming Community Garden changes/additions o Tech-talks o Hurricane prep  Meetings throughout the week with Staff from multiple departments regarding: o Emergency Management  Monthly EOC Conference Call  Declaration of Emergency o New City Hall o Community Engagement Projects  Painted trash cans on the beach Community Garden Brainstorm Event Staff will be conducting a Community Garden Brainstorm Event on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. at the Nancy Hanson Recreation Complex Activity Room. City Council Meeting Videos Staff used the live stream app Periscope/Twitter to broadcast the Special Meeting on Tuesday, September 5, 2017 and Tuesday, September 19, 2017. The meeting on September 5 had twelve (12) live viewers and has had twenty-nine (29) replays.

Staff and ten (10) residents met on Sunday, September 17, 2017 to clean out the Community Garden of Season 1 plants/Hurricane Irma debris. The Community Garden will be enlarged before Season 3 starts. Any interested gardeners should contact Rebekah McLain for information and to be entered into the garden lottery. She can be reached at: r.mclain@cityofcapecanaveral.org NARC Webinar Staff watched the Trees, Stormwater, and Resiliency: An Opportunity for Local Communities Webinar on Wednesday, September 20, 2017. The Webinar discussed traditional ‘gray’ infrastructure systems – like roads, utilities, and water/wastewater. The focus was on resiliency, the multi-functionality of green infrastructure, trees and how to create long-term health and vibrancy for an area. Before After Hurricane Irma Staff coordinated pre/during Irma to disseminate pertinent City, County and State information regarding:  Storm preparation  Shelters  Evacuations  Bridge openings  Local store openings  Boil water notice  National Guard water station(s)  Debris clean-up / Waste Pro Staff used the City NEWS webpage, NIXLE and social media to broadcast, re-tweet and engage with residents, news agencies and neighbors.

The City also gained 324 new users between 9/1-9/14! Over the same time frame Staff sent out over nine hundred (900) Hurricane Irma related tweets/re-tweets on Twitter and forty-five (45) Instagram posts. Staff was answering questions on Twitter/Instagram around the clock during the storm event, making sure residents had up-to-date information. City Twitter Page with NIXLE Header City Facebook with NIXLE Header Tweets/Staff Engagement NEWS Webpage Using the NEWS webpage, we were able to house only Hurricane Irma related information, embed the Twitter feed (on the right side) and in doing so Staff was able to easily steer residents to one source of information. A full post Hurricane Irma storm event report is being created as a lessons learned from each Department.

More about the Comprehensive Health Services Inc. and the Incentive Program: Comprehensive Health Services Inc.(CHS) is a medical services and management company that is relocating to Cape Canaveral from Reston, VA. They received City approval of an Economic Development Incentive (Ad Valorem Tax Abatement) earlier this year. They currently employ 250 people in the City of Cape Canaveral. The Agreement requires CHS to create 150 new jobs in the City of Cape Canaveral over three years, with an average wage of $66,000. The Company applied for the State of Florida’s Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund Incentive Program. The Program is available for companies that create high wage jobs in targeted high value-added industries. This incentive includes refunds on corporate income, sales, ad valorem, intangible personal property, insurance premium and certain other taxes. Pre-approved applicants who create jobs in Florida receive tax refunds of $3,000 net per new Florida full-time equivalent job created. For businesses paying 150 percent of the average annual wage, add $1,000 per job. The selected local community contributes 20 percent of the total tax refund. No more than 25 percent of the total refund approved may be taken in any single fiscal year. New or expanding businesses in selected targeted industries or corporate headquarters are eligible. Because CHS is paying 150% of the statewide average wage, they are eligible for a QTI incentive of $4,000 ($3,000 + $1,000) per job created. The 20% contribution is comprised of Brevard County’s Ad Valorem Tax (AVT) abatement plus the City of Cape Canaveral’s AVT abatement. The AVT Abatement applies only to the increase in property taxes after the Capital Investment appraisal is made. The pre-investment AVT remains in effect, locked-in as a maximum for the duration of the Abatement. The City of Cape Canaveral, and Brevard County approved of the incentive at 100% for 10 years. The total estimated financial impact to the City would be $13,676.75 for the current year. We look forward to the completion of this beautiful building!

Local Art Donations & Loans for New City Hall City Hall Call for Artwork Continues – As the grand opening of the new City Hall approaches, Staff continues to acquire artwork from resident artists who wish to become stakeholders in Cape Canaveral’s cultural landscape. The Culture and Leisure Services Department has issued a “Call for Artwork”, inviting Cape Canaveral artists to loan or donate pieces of art to be put on display in the New City Hall. Local artists interested showcasing their talents in the City’s public spaces may contact Cultural Programs Manager Molly Thomas for more information at: (321) 868-1226 or via email at: m.thomas@cityofcapecanaveral.org. “Pelicans” – Local artist and retired nurse, Kate Parker has generously loaned her painting “Pelicans” to the City for display in the new City Hall. “For as long as I can remember,” she says, “drawing and sketching has been my first love.” Her nursing career took her around the world, and it was while working in Abu Dhabi that she first began painting. Her mediums include: watercolor, pastel and acrylics, and she is presently a member of the Central Brevard Art Association. “Oats a Waving”, “Green Juvenile Sea Turtle” & “Reflective Dawn” – Local photographer, Yvonne Oak has captured some truly amazing shots in and around the City of Cape Canaveral. Though starting out as a hobbyist photographer, Ms. Oak is looking to enter the professional field by starting her own photography business here in Cape Canaveral. Thankfully, she has decided to share her talents with the community and has enlarged and framed three of her photographs —donating them for permanent display in the new City Hall. “Sea Oats” – Jacob Robertson Knight is a fifth generation Florida native, born and raised in Vero Beach. He attended UCF before moving to California in the year 2000, where his pursuit of art and motion picture film-making officially began at the start of the digital revolution. Today he resides in Cocoa Beach and continues to push digital tools in both motion, still and mixed media formats – as he says, “in pursuit of the textures of yesterday.” This very large and brilliant shot he captured of sea oats on Cape Canaveral’s beach is loaned to the City for display in the new City Hall building. “Quirk Canaveral” – For those that have been paying close attention to Cape Canaveral’s growing public art affinity, the name Mellissa Bass should sound familiar. Her abstract works have been featured on numerous bits of civic scenery including Life Rescue Stations and Water Barrels at the Cape Canaveral Community Garden. Melissa was born and raised in a small town on the Arkansas Grand Prairie. She received a Bachelor of Interior Design from the University of Arkansas, and she has practiced residential, commercial and government interior design for several years. She moved to Cape Canaveral in 2009. Currently working at the Cape Canaveral Public Library, she enjoys the community interaction, getting to know local residents, and feeding her book addiction, as well as participating in local volunteer projects. She began painting as a child and considers Wassily Kandinsky one of her greatest creative influences, often using music and color psychology to guide her abstract painting projects. Ms. Bass has generously donated her abstract piece, “Quirk Canaveral” for permanent display in the new City Hall building. Hurricane Irma Damage to City Parks All City parks were affected in one way or another by Hurricane Irma. From small vegetative damage, to large structural damage, to a medium size pavilion, no site was spared from the wind. Staff is working arduously to clean up, repair or get repaired all damage done to the facilities. Safety issues are being prioritized to get facilities back in working order. So far, the only areas off limits are the Playground at Sandpiper Park located within Canaveral City Park and the shoreline at Center Street Park which was severely eroded. The pavilion at Sandpiper Park was severely damaged and will be torn down next week allowing for the park to reopen. Staff is in the process of acquiring quotes for the restoration of the shoreline at Center Street Park and will schedule that work to be done as soon as a contractor is acquired. The following pictures were taken immediately after the City was safe to reenter. Dock at Banana River Park Softball Dugout at Canaveral City Park Leaning Pavilion at Sandpiper Park Bank Erosion at Center Street Park Damage to Shuffleboard Roof Structure The shoreline restoration project completed in June of 2017 at Banana River and Manatee Sanctuary Parks saved the parks from severe erosion. Had that project not been completed, the western most fence of the soccer field would probably have caved into the river from the unprecedented high water and wave action. A total of $230,000 was spent on the project with the City receiving $98,400 in grants. The shorelines along these two facilities held up great, with only minor erosion happening to the entrance of the dock at Banana River Park. This project was worth every penny as the parks were ready for action shortly after the storm. Friday Fest There will be no better way to unwind after all the hard work and stress brought on by Hurricane Irma, than by visiting with your friends and neighbors at Friday Fest! An amazing array of food will be available ranging from down-home favorites to World cuisine. Beer and wine sales will be hosted by City Staff and Volunteers.

On September 10, 2017 at approximately 1330 hours, the intermediate pumping station was overwhelmed with flow from heavy rainfall during Hurricane Irma. This caused Lift Station #13 to backup and overflow into the parking lot and Plant Operations Building. When rainfall ceased, the parking lot manholes were opened to drain the partially treated effluent (approximately 180,000 gallons) into the WWTP. On September 11, 2017 at 1330 hours the intermediate pumping station resumed normal operation and Staff initiated cleanup activities.  Emergency Generator Replacements. The City’s contractor is replacing the main generator (500 kilowatt) at the WWTP. Other project improvements to the generator system include replacement of the fuel lines, generator exhaust system, building louvers, etc. New generators will also be installed at the new City Hall and the BCSO Annex/old City Hall in the near future. These are budgeted items for FY2016-2017.  De-Grit System Replacement. The City’s contractor continues to replace the de-grit system at the WWTP – a budgeted item for FY2016-2017. The purpose of the system is to remove sand, silt and grit from the wastewater stream prior to entering the main treatment portion of the WWTP. Grit and other solid materials can clog treatment systems, reduce plant efficiencies and cause abrasion damage/wear that lead to increased cleaning, maintenance and repair. Stormwater  Multi-Generational Facility/City Park Redevelopment. Staff conducted a conference call with representatives of St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) to determine permitting requirements for the proposed multi-generational facility and other proposed structures at Canaveral City Park. Staff and the City’s consultant will move forward with the permitting for the new facility which will include the construction of a stormwater swale system.  Stormwater Inlet Replacements. Five stormwater inlets are being replaced with Type “C” inlets at the following locations: o SW and NW corner of Poinsetta/Harrison Avenues o NW, SW and SE corners of Poinsetta/Tyler Avenues This will complete the inlet replacement activities for FY2016-2017. Twenty inlets are replaced throughout the City each fiscal year. Infrastructure Maintenance  Utility Coordination Meeting. Staff will attend this Meeting on September 26, 2017 to further discuss the upcoming Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Project to install traffic signal mast arms at selected intersections on SR A1A. There are a number of conflicts with City utilities (i.e., reclaimed water lines) that must be addressed prior to initiation of the Project in May 2018. Hurricane Irma  Response/Recovery. Over the last several months, PWS has been training and preparing for a Hurricane storm event. PWS gained valuable experience from the 2016 Hurricane Matthew storm event, and Staff was able to put those lessons learned into action. Staff began preparing PWS/City facilities, parks and lift stations on Tuesday, September 5, 2017 in anticpation of the worst case scenario. On Monday, September 11, 2017, Staff responded to the NIXLE message of “all hands on deck/the bridges are open”, and Staff immediately put the Hurricane Response/Recovery Plan into action. Thank you to PWS Staff for going above and beyond the call of duty! Miscellaneous  State Road (SR) A1A Road Repairs. Single, eastbound and westbound lane closures continue on State Road A1A at George King Boulevard near Port Canaveral. Closures are expected to stay in place for about 3-to-5 weeks for repairs to the bridge approaches.
