Cape Canaveral Vision Statement
We envision: A bikeable and walkable Cape Canaveral that retains and enhances its 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 seaside
and riverside as the main amenities, and supports local culture, commerce 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 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. 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: 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.

Department of Labor/ Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
Final Rule: Overtime
Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside
Sales and Computer Employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
On May 18, 2016, President Obama and
Secretary Perez announced the publication
of the Department of Labor’s final rule
updating the overtime regulations, which
will automatically extend overtime pay
protections to over 4 million workers
within the first year of implementation.
Key Provisions of the Final Rule
The Final Rule focuses primarily on updating the salary and compensation levels needed for
Executive, Administrative and Professional workers to be exempt. Specifically, the Final Rule:
1. Sets the standard salary level at the 40th percentile of earnings of full-time salaried workers in
the lowest-wage Census Region, currently the South ($913 per week); $47,476 annually for a
full-year employee.
2. Sets the total annual compensation requirement for highly compensated employees (HCE)
subject to a minimal duties test to the annual equivalent of the 90th percentile of full-time
salaried workers nationally ($134,004).
3. Establishes a mechanism for automatically updating salary and compensation levels every three
years to maintain the levels at the above percentiles and ensure that they continue to provide
useful and effective tests for exemption.
4. Additionally, the Final Rule amends the salary basis test to allow employers to use
nondiscretionary bonuses and incentive payments (including commissions) to satisfy up to 10
percent of the new standard salary level.
The effective date of the Final Rule is December 1, 2016. Future automatic updates to those
thresholds will occur every three years, beginning on January 1, 2020.
In anticipation of the Final Rule, the City’s Pay Plan was amended in order to achieve full
compliance.
Affordable Care Act Challenge
Zubik v. Burwell
Facing the prospect of another evenly divided 4-4 decision on the controversial intersection
between the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) contraceptive care mandate and the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA), the Court sent 13 cases involving religious nonprofit
organizations’ objections to the ACA’s contraceptive care mandate back to Federal appeals
courts for further consideration of the possibility of a mutually-agreed resolution of the
consolidated cases. More specifically, the Court suggested that the parties had identified a
compromise that would allow cost-free access to contraceptive care to employees while avoiding
any entanglement in the provision of that care by the religious nonprofit organizations that
partnered to bring the original challenge.
Interveiwed eight candidates for the Culture and Leisure Services part-time Clerical
Assistant position. Expect to successfully fill the vacancy/complete the post offer of
employment Level II criminal background drug and fitness for screening by next week.
Participated in May’s Safety Committee Workshop, May 20 at the PWS Training Room.
Performed follow-up on standard operating procedures (SOP’s) intended to achieve a
greater level of personal safety for Staff working in the Plant and Collections Divisions.
Also reviewed progress towards purchase of portable lighting needed to safely perform
emergency night service calls.
ZIKA UPDATE
Four new Zika Virus cases (Brevard, Orange, Clay and Pinellas Counties) pushes
Florida total to 117. All four cases stemmed from travel to Caribbean and South
Amercian nations.
The House of Representatives and Senate are debating three separate bills intended to
fund the nation’s response to the Zika Virus. Senators and Representatives from Florida
are demanding approval of President Obama’s funding recommendation of $1.9 billion.
While three separate Bills work their way through committee votes, officials in Florida
have expressed the need to provide funding immediately in order to “get ahead” of
mosquito season rapidly approaching.
More than 500 travel-related cases of Zika have been reported in the U.S., and the
number will likely spike this summer.
In Broward County, they're getting 500 requests for mosquito spraying every day -- 10
times the normal amount.
“You can’t spray your way out of this. The only way to deal with this
is boots on the ground,” said Chris Hunter, director of the County’s
Health Services Department. “Unless you have homeowners taking
responsibility, you need an army.”
USDA and other organizations are trying to fill data gaps about the invasive and
disease-carrying mosquitoes through counting.
o University of Miami researchers are crunching five years of surveillance data from
Miami-Dade County’s mosquito control office to create seasonal maps, somewhat
like hurricane warnings, showing the risk of mosquito-borne diseases under various
conditions.
o The University of Arizona and partner agencies are recruiting volunteers for
another Great Arizona Mosquito Hunt, which last year analyzed the contents of
traps set by over 70 schools.
o State governments in Louisiana and New York, which already survey for a different
mosquito implicated in West Nile infections, are deploying new traps to learn when
Aedes aegypti and Asian tiger mosquitoes are prevalent.
o Florida’s Orange County, home to parts of Walt Disney World, wants 10 more
seasonal workers this year to keep up with door-to-door surveillance triggered when
health officials suspect a mosquito-borne virus.

2016 REDISTRICTING
In December 2015, the Florida Supreme Court and the Second Judicial
Circuit Court ordered new Congressional and State Senate boundaries.
While the Congressional changes did not affect Brevard County, our State
Senate boundaries were changed. As a result, my office conducted
redistricting in 2016 to align with the new State Senate precinct
boundaries.
In addition to the Senate redistricting, changes were made as a result of
numerous municipal annexations. A number of precincts and polling
locations were consolidated.
My office will be mailing new Voter Information Cards to fill registered
voters in Brevard County over the next month. These cards will reflect
any changes to precincts, districts, or polling places. Per Florida Statute a
voter whose polling place has changed will also receive a "Polling Place
Change Notice" postcard.
As always, do not hesitate to contact myself or any of my staff if you have
questions about these changes or on any election-related matter.

meeting was to ensure inter-agency communication/cooperation on current and future
projects. From time-to-time, such face-to-face meetings are helpful to develop positive
and proactive working relationships.
Met with Cultural Programs Manager/Staff Historian regarding establishment of a
City-owned, City-Staffed Heritage Center to showcase our diverse history at the old
City Hall building. Once the New City Hall building is complete, we will want to ensure
the old City Hall facility serves the needs of our residents and visitors. Long a topic of
the community conversation, such a facility can help transform our civic plaza and
become an engaging landmark worthy of our rich past. Ideas include: rotating local
history exhibits (from Native Americans to current Space Age), art exhibitions, hosting
youth history fairs, lectures, presentations, networking functions, artist workshops and
other culturally-engaging activities.

Public Works Services
Update for Week Ending May 20, 2016
Staff performed day to day duties/responsibilities and assisted various telephone/walk-in requests
from the public.
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)/Sanitary Sewer System
Lift Station Nos. 6 and 7 Improvements Project. Both Lift Stations are complete and
online. Former lift station currently being abandoned in-place; tree and sod planting
ongoing. Several revisions were made to proposed site plan to accommodate residents in
the neighborhood.
New Lift Station No. 7 at Manatee Sanctuary Park – looking west.
Oxidation Rehabilitation. Final bid specs/drawings being prepared for public bidding.
Project will be advertised in late-May with bids due in late-June. This is one of the projects
funded through the City’s State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan.
Stormwater
o Canaveral City Park Ex-filtration Project. Project being advertised for bids.
Mandatory pre-bid meeting was held Tuesday, May 3 at 10:00 am; sealed bids are
due Thursday, June 2 at 2:00 pm. Addendum No. 1 issued on May 9; construction
anticipated to begin in late-July 2016. Project will collect stormwater from a 30-
acre area in the Presidential streets for infiltration into the surficial aquifer beneath
the two ballfields. A significant amount of stormwater will thus be removed from
the City’s stormwater system and the Banana River Lagoon. This Project was
originally to be funded through the City’s SRF loan. However, two grants were
received from (1) Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and (2)
State Legislature funds.
Annual Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) Meeting. Staff attended this annual
meeting which reviewed stakeholder projects to improve the environmental condition of
the Banana River Lagoon (BRL). The final annual report is in preparation by FDEP. Key
discussion topics of the meeting included:
o For the BRL Basin, the City of Cape Canaveral was the only stakeholder to
complete a stormwater improvement project (reclaimed water tank) in the last year;
o Brown tide has been receding in the BRL since the extensive fish kill several weeks
ago;
o Brown tide does not contain any known toxins;
o Brown tide seems to have reduced the density of sea grasses in certain areas;
o Numerous muck dredging projects planned for the Indian River Lagoon (IRL)
system – muck is source of >25% of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous); and
o Municipalities should be planning for the second five-year period of the Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Program which begins in February 2018.
Infrastructure Maintenance (IM)
North Atlantic Avenue Streetscape Project. Contractor initiated excavation of pedway
along the western side of roadway and continues with construction of new sidewalks/
driveway aprons along the eastern side of the roadway. Installation of irrigation system
also continues along the eastern side of the roadway; new mast arms at Canaveral
Boulevard installed. Maintenance of traffic (MOT) includes closure of one lane on North
Atlantic Avenue during working hours; flagmen are utilized to direct traffic. Work was
initiated north of West/East Central Boulevard, but is mainly focused between SR A1A
and West/East Central Boulevard. All roads will be open after working hours. Estimated
time of construction is eight months (end of September 2016). NOTE: All businesses in
the North Atlantic Avenue corridor will remain open during construction activities.
In addition, Florida City Gas Company is performing construction tasks in the
vicinity of the intersection with SR A1A which will require temporary lane closures
on North Atlantic Avenue.
Cherie Down Lane Investigation. Borings were performed by the City’s contractor along
Cherie Down Lane to investigate roadway conditions. At the request of several residents
and since the Homeowners Association is no longer active, the City is investigating taking
ownership of the privately-owned roadway.
Ridgewood Avenue Improvements. Staff continues to replace mulch with decorative
stone in all planting beds along the roadway. Using decorative stone in place of mulch will
reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Planting bed along Ridgewood Avenue – looking north.
Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Landscape Improvements. Staff replaced old mulch
with new sod/decorative stone at the north entrance to the Sheriff’s Office. Other areas
around the facility have been filled in with sod to improve the landscape and streamline
maintenance activities.
