As was done with Max, Staff will be reaching out to the community to help come up with a name. Stay tuned to the City's social media pages for an opportunity to share your suggestions!

This program offers a way for friends and family to commemorate their loved ones with a lasting legacy that helps beautify the community. For more information on this program, contact the Culture and Leisure Services office at 321-868-1226. Preventative Maintenance is Key —With the salty sea air that our coastal community so enjoys, comes the need for constant preventative maintenance to fight the never ending battle against rust. This week Staff, with the assistance of a community service worker, took on the challenge of addressing the corrosion along the roof of the Center Street Park gazebo. Their hard work has paid off and these repairs will ensure the longevity of the structure. LED Light Replacement Completed This week, Staff finished replacing the old metal halide lamps with energy efficient LED lights inside the racquetball courts. In the long run, these lights will save over 50% in electric costs while in use and improve visibility inside the courts. Over time, the lens covering the bulb develops a film on the inside that diminishes the brightness of the lamps, this will not happen with the new lights. All lights on the tennis and racquetball courts have now been retrofitted with these new sustainable fixtures. 144, IIIIIIIIIII IIIII �ulll °9°9 ��., �.. qq,� 11111p� m (III�IIIIII rrr mmmV11111 V litE )1) uuuuu�N � uuumuuu Special Events 1I11IIu1 l�4: % m °W� %f/Arnietf„rsy D IIi1111111 I @uumumuuu11 s1 1 111111111111111111111111 �IIIIII1I �11111" II 1 NI 11 "' IIII uuumumuulpl 11ii I1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 1111 lout m lvvlgp 000vv vvvvvvi muuuuuuuhhmm, l Friday Fest—The June event managed to escape the seemingly daily thunderstorm activity — enjoying beautiful weather and attracting a fantastic crowd!

Cultural Programs Lobby Murals Installed in City Hall— As our more frequent visitors may have already noticed, the lobby in City Hall is now home to two newly -commissioned pieces of art. The paintings were completed by renowned Florida muralist, Keith Goodson, and together they celebrate the City's most treasured natural resources, illustrating the community's place as The Space Between Oceanside and Riverside. Born in Cocoa Beach and now a resident of Avon Park, Mr. Goodson was delighted to have the opportunity to bring his work home to the Space Coast. Working professionally since 1994, Goodson is celebrated for his bold use of color and an exceptional talent for photo -realism. He was instrumental in the development of the mural program in Lake Placid, Florida and is known locally for his 22' x 36' mural "Paddling Our Wildlife Paradise" located at 410 S. Hopkins Avenue, in Titusville. Shortly after completing these paintings, Mr. Goodson accepted a position as the Senior Artist for Sea World in Orlando where his talents will certainly thrive. Staff enjoyed collaborating with Mr. Goodson in the development of these murals and looks forward to working with him in the future. 1111 �� 1VYII@1"��1mla 111 gym' u, mar/o/io100110000111000000h111111111111 Vh"'Ii�V�I1�1ry11111Nlm1111111111 ml iYioiiii mu1Imul��Pmui Imo R' tln �nim�d@@ @P@uupi 1111111111111111111111111111111 olohohlooll Cultural Programs Manager Presented for the Indian River Anthropological Society —The Indian River Anthropological Society hosts a monthly lecture series, at the Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science, that is free and open to the public.
