CAPE CANAVERAL VISION STATEMENT
WE ENVISION: A bike-able and walk-able Cape Canaveral that retains and enhances its
residential feel, characterized by low-rise buildings not more than 4 stories in height. This
residential and business friendly atmosphere is one of a live-able, attractive, safe, secure and
sustainable coastal community that embraces the beach and riverside as the main amenities, and
supports local culture and education.
WE ENVISION: A1A as a “complete street” 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 calmly travel to intimate waterfront destinations and a walk-able downtown 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. The “downtown” 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: A 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, and actively recruits and supports businesses that enhance economic viability and serve our
residents and visitors.
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.

Open Government - Frequently Asked Questions
The following questions and answers are intended to be used as a reference only -- interested parties
should refer to the Florida Statutes and applicable case law before drawing legal conclusions.
What is the Sunshine Law? Florida's Government-in-the-Sunshine law provides a right of access to governmental
proceedings at both the state and local levels. It applies to any gathering of two or more
members of the same board to discuss some matter which will foreseeably come before that
board for action. There is also a constitutionally guaranteed right of access. Virtually all
state and local collegial public bodies are covered by the open meetings requirements with the exception of the judiciary and the state Legislature which has its own constitutional
provision relating to access.
What are the requirements of the Sunshine law?
The Sunshine law requires that 1) meetings of boards or commissions must be open to the
public; 2) reasonable notice of such meetings must be given, and 3) minutes of the meeting must be taken.
What agencies are covered under the Sunshine Law?
The Government-in-the-Sunshine Law applies to "any board or commission of any state
agency or authority or of any agency or authority of any county, municipal corporation or
political subdivision." Thus, it applies to public collegial bodies within the state at both the local as well as state level. It applies equally to elected or appointed boards or commissions.
Are federal agencies covered by the Sunshine Law?
Federal agencies operating in the state do not come under Florida's Sunshine law.
Does the Sunshine Law apply to the Legislature?
Florida's Constitution provides that meetings of the Legislature be open and noticed except those specifically exempted by the Legislature or specifically closed by the Constitution.
Each house is responsible through its rules of procedures for interpreting, implementing and
enforcing these provisions. Information on the rules governing openness in the Legislature can be obtained from the respective houses.
Does the Sunshine Law apply to members-elect? Members-elect of public boards or commissions are covered by the Sunshine law
immediately upon their election to public office.
What qualifies as a meeting? The Sunshine law applies to all discussions or deliberations as well as the formal action taken by a board or commission. The law, in essence, is applicable to any gathering, whether
formal or casual, of two or more members of the same board or commission to discuss some
matter on which foreseeable action will be taken by the public board or commission. There
is no requirement that a quorum be present for a meeting to be covered under the law.
Can a public agency hold closed meetings? There are a limited number of exemptions which would allow a public agency to close a
meeting. These include, but are not limited to, certain discussions with the board's attorney
over pending litigation and portions of collective bargaining sessions. In addition, specific
portions of meetings of some agencies (usually state agencies) may be closed when those agencies are making probable cause determinations or considering confidential records.
Does the law require that a public meeting be audio taped? There is no requirement under the Sunshine law that tape recordings be made by a public
board or commission, but if they are made, they become public records.
Can a city restrict a citizen's right to speak at a meeting? Public agencies are allowed to adopt reasonable rules and regulations which ensure the orderly conduct of a public meeting and which require orderly behavior on the part of the
public attending. This includes limiting the amount of time an individual can speak and,
when a large number of people attend and wish to speak, requesting that a representative of
each side of the issue speak rather than everyone present.
As a private citizen, can I videotape a public meeting? A public board may not prohibit a citizen from videotaping a public meeting through the use
of non-disruptive video recording devices.
Can a board vote by secret ballot?
The Sunshine law requires that meetings of public boards or commissions be "open to the public at all times." Thus, use of preassigned numbers, codes or secret ballots would violate the law.
Can two members of a public board attend social functions together?
Members of a public board are not prohibited under the Sunshine law from meeting together
socially, provided that matters which may come before the board are not discussed at such gatherings.
What is a public record? The Florida Supreme Court has determined that public records are all materials made or
received by an agency in connection with official business which are used to perpetuate,
communicate or formalize knowledge. They are not limited to traditional written documents. Tapes, photographs, films and sound recordings are also considered public records subject to inspection unless a statutory exemption exists.
Can I request public documents over the telephone and do I have to tell why I want
them?
Nothing in the public records law requires that a request for public records be in writing or in person, although individuals may wish to make their request in writing to ensure they have an accurate record of what they requested. Unless otherwise exempted, a custodian of
public records must honor a request for records, whether it is made in person, over the
telephone, or in writing, provided the required fees are paid. In addition, nothing in the law requires the requestor to disclose the reason for the request.
How much can an agency charge for public documents? The law provides that the custodian shall furnish a copy of public records upon payment of
the fee prescribed by law. If no fee is prescribed, an agency is normally allowed to charge
up to 15 cents per one-sided copy for copies that are 14" x 8 1/2" or less. A charge of up to $1 per copy may be assessed for a certified copy of a public record. If the nature and volume of the records to be copied requires extensive use of information technology resources or
extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, or both, the agency may charge a reasonable
service charge based on the actual cost incurred.
Does an agency have to explain why it denies access to public records? A custodian of a public record who contends that the record or part of a record is exempt from inspection must state the basis for that exemption, including the statutory citation.
Additionally, when asked, the custodian must state in writing the reasons for concluding the
record is exempt.
When does a document sent to a public agency become a public document? As soon as a document is received by a public agency, it becomes a public record, unless there is a legislatively created exemption which makes it confidential and not subject to
disclosure.
Are public employee personnel records considered public records?
The rule on personnel records is the same as for other public documents ... unless the Legislature has specifically exempted an agency's personnel records or authorized the agency to adopt rules limiting public access to the records, personnel records are open to
public inspection. There are, however, numerous statutory exemptions that apply to
personnel records.
Can an agency refuse to allow public records to be inspected or copied if requested to do so by the maker or sender of the documents? No. To allow the maker or sender of documents to dictate the circumstances under which
documents are deemed confidential would permit private parties instead of the Legislature
to determine which public records are public and which are not.
Are arrest records public documents? Arrest reports prepared by a law enforcement agency after the arrest of a subject are generally considered to be open for public inspection. At the same time, however, certain
information such as the identity of a sexual battery victim is exempt.
Is an agency required to give out information from public records or produce public
records in a particular form as requested by an individual? The Sunshine Law provides for a right of access to inspect and copy existing public records. It does not mandate that the custodian give out information from the records nor does it
mandate that an agency create new records to accommodate a request for information.
What agency can prosecute violators?
The local state attorney has the statutory authority to prosecute alleged criminal violations of the open meetings and public records law. Certain civil remedies are also available.
What is the difference between the Sunshine Amendment and the Sunshine Law? The Sunshine Amendment was added to Florida's Constitution in 1976 and provides for full
and public disclosure of the financial interests of all public officers, candidates and
employees. The Sunshine Law provides for open meetings for governmental boards.
How can I find out more about the open meetings and public records laws? Probably the most comprehensive guide to understanding the requirements and exemptions
to Florida's open government laws is the Government-in-the-Sunshine manual compiled by
the Attorney General's Office. The manual is updated each year and is available for purchase
through the First Amendment Foundation in Tallahassee. For information on obtaining a copy, contact the First Amendment Foundation at (850) 224-4555.
• ZIKA Update - Rising Numbers in Florida, Alabama The latest update from the Florida Department of Health confirmed two additional cases in
the state, bringing the total number of Zika patients in Florida to 62, which is the highest in
all of the states in the country. Nearly half of the confirmed Zika cases in Florida are in Miami-
Dade County with 30 people suffering from the virus. Thus far, all Zika patients in the United States acquired the mosquito-borne virus through travel-related means, but the Department is
urging citizens to be vigilant and cautious. Health Officials urge people to drain standing
water and use insect repellents when outdoors.
