Cape Canaveral VISION Statement Administrative Services Community Engagement Community Development Economic Development Culture & Leisure Services Public Works Services Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Canaveral Fire Rescue – No Report 5-17-2016 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.

Highlights: Employers Explore Fluctuating Workweek and Related Alternatives to Time and One-Half Overtime for Newly Non-Exempt Employees Employers are currently reviewing their options pertaining to the December 1, 2016 Department of Labor Overtime Rule change. Retail, hospitality and non-profit employers may not have the budget flexibility to simply increase salaries to meet the new minimum. For some employers, conversion to an alternative pay plan may help reduce the impact of new overtime costs. The most common of these alternative plans is fluctuating workweek (FWW). Under this plan, employees are paid a guaranteed salary for all hours worked in the week. Because the employees are non-exempt, they still receive overtime after 40 hours, but only at a half-time rather than time and one-half rate. The salary covers the straight-time portion of all hours worked, and the regular rate used to determine overtime divides the salary by the number of hours worked that week (with minimum wage as the floor). While FWW can reduce overtime expenses, it is not appropriate for every situation. First, the employee’s hours must actually fluctuate, meaning that the employee cannot work set hours each week without variation. Second, the salary is guaranteed and must be paid without deduction if the employee works fewer hours in the week. Finally, the weekly overtime rate fluctuates, meaning that the employer must have in place payroll resources capable of calculating the changing overtime rate. For any alternative pay plan, the employee does not have to consent, but the employer must demonstrate that it provided the employee with a clear explanation of how the system works and gave the employee an opportunity to ask questions. DOJ/FTC Issue Antitrust Guidance for HR Professionals The Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ) plans to begin criminally investigating and prosecuting employers who enter wage fixing and anti-poaching agreements with their competitors. In advance of its new push, the DOJ together with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued guidance targeted at Human Resources (HR) professionals who often make hiring and compensation decisions at their companies or are in a unique position to identify and prevent violations. The DOJ and FTC jointly enforce U.S. antitrust laws, which prohibit certain restrictions on competition. Historically, the DOJ has prosecuted practices such as price fixing among competitors or agreements between competitors to set the same price for a particular good or service. Now the DOJ intends to investigate and prosecute agreements between “competing employers to limit or fix the terms of employment for potential hires.” In short, employers entering wage fixing or anti-poaching agreements with other employers risk criminal prosecution for antitrust violations. The burden may now be on HR professionals to help ensure legal compliance because the DOJ and FTC claim HR professionals are often in “the best position to ensure their companies’ hiring practices comply with the antitrust laws.” HR professionals have been tasked with implementing antitrust safeguards and preventing inappropriate discussions and agreements with competitors. Currently seeking qualified candidates for vacancies of Code Enforcement Officer, Wastewater Plant Operator and Utilities Mechanic. Interviews were conducted for the Code Enforcement position. Please extend a warm welcome to Brittany Jumper, Accountant, assigned to the Administrative/Financial Services Department.

Florida Municipal Insurance Trust continues to review the City’s claim, but has advised that a minimal payout is likely due the standard 5% Hurricane deductible. FMIT representatives have indicated that the majority of Florida municipalities and counties sustained covered damages below the 5% deductible threshold. o Efforts have been focused on gathering the necessary information and documentation for FEMA assistance in advance of the Public Relief Declaration issued Wednesday stating that Brevard County has now been included in the Presidential Disaster Declaration for all categories of Public Assistance. o Met with Private Assistance FEMA representatives in effort to facilitate claims assistance to residents/businesses. o FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers have been requested by Brevard County.

ZIKA Update The nation’s highest ranking infectious disease expert, with Governor Rick Scott, delivered some sobering news on Zika to a Miami audience on Tuesday, telling them that the mosquito-borne virus is more widespread than Florida health officials have reported and that the rapid spread of pathogens such as Zika represents “the new normal” in an age of global travel and trade, booming cities and climate change. “Here’s the plain truth: that Zika and other diseases spread by Aedes aegypti [mosquito species] are really not controllable with current technologies. So we will see this become endemic,” Tom Frieden, a physician and director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told a group of about 100 people gathered at the InterContinental Miami hotel for The Atlantic magazine’s CityLab conference. Frieden’s takeaway advice for public officials tasked with protecting the public from disease outbreaks: “Invest in public health,” he said. “It pays off.” CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL Notice of Public Hearing The Board of Adjustment will hold a Public Hearing for the purpose of considering a Variance application filed by John Dismore, Applicant, to allow for a four (4) foot setback from the subject property’s eastern most lot line rather than the eight (8) foot set back required by Section 110-297(a)(2), Cape Canaveral City Code.

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. Other highlights include: Conversations with residents/pedestrians/business owners in regard to: Hurricane Matthew o Waste Pro o Street sweepers Election / City Council Bat boxes / volunteers Technology / computer events Trunk or Treat The City’s first free to the public EV charger station has been completed! City Staff and City Council wanted to draw more attention to the station/commitment to sustainability with additional striping. The EV station has seen regular daily use by residents of Cape Canaveral and Brevard County. The extra green striping was delayed due to Hurricane Matthew. Hurricane Matthew debris clean up continues around the City. Since Monday, October 10, 2016 Waste Pro has removed over 374 tons of yard waste, and over 213 tons of solid waste. Staff was informed that for the entire month of October 2015, the claw truck removed a mere 40 tons of yard waste. Residents are being asked for patience as the Waste Pro and USA street sweeper teams do their work. Staff attended the Grand Opening of the Aerial Adventure Park on Thursday, October 27, 2016. The event had live music and a local food truck for residents/visitors to enjoy. The Park offers Cape Canaveral residents an Annual Pass and presents users with an outdoor recreation experience that doubles as a trip to the gym. For more informaton on the Annual Pass, please visit the following link http://ccadventurepark.com/. Official ribbon cutting event with the TDC, local residents, friends and family! View from SRA1A of a climber on the RED course Staff is still looking for interested volunteers to assemble and decorate bat boxes/houses. Bat boxes are small wooden ‘houses’ that provide a safe home for bats to live, rest and raise pups. Bats are known to eat upwards of 1,000 mosquitoes every hour during the night, and are a successful natural alternative to control mosquitos that may carry the ZIKA virus. The kits will need to be assembled and decorated by residents/visitors before being hung throughout the City by PWS Staff. There will be a City Brainstorm Event on November 9, 2016 from 6-8 PM at the Nancy Hanson Recreation Complex. It is a casual meeting of the minds to create positive ideas that inspire positive change in the City. Theme - Cape Canaveral: Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'! Staff attended the Coastal Resiliency Tools Buffet seminar presented by/at the Volusia County Office of Emergency Management on Wednesday, October 26, 2016.

In attendance were representatives from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, Daytona, Brevard County and Volusia County. The tools can be used to explain/explore/predict possible sea level rise trends/storm surge events and can be used to properly plan Capital Improvement Projects to deal with such occurrences. Three (3) excited students attended this month’s Computer ABC’s class on Monday, October 24, 2016 at the Cape Canaveral Public Library. Staff instructed a basic computer skills crash course that explained things like: What is a computer How does the keyboard know what I’m typing.

The second floor continuous bond beam is scheduled to be completed next week. o The City Hall Bronze Plaque design (draft) will prominently honor the 2014 City Council for funding and design and the 2016 City Council for approving the construction. Their leadership made our New City Hall a reality. o “Coming soon” sign was installed at the northwest corner of the site. FDOT indicates that our TPO may have current FY funds to help push the design phase of the SR A1A Project, from south of International Dr. to George King Blvd. (to include the design of the International Dr. Re-alignment). FDOT is finalizing Q&A with City Staff before scoping and while the technical is being finalized. Conceptual design work was completed in 2012-13. City Council passed two Resolutions (in 2014 & 2015) calling attention to our prioritized desires for the design work with the strongest emphasis on Public Safety items, especially walkability (additional pedestrian crossings) and bikeability (FDOT is now proposing 7-ft. buffered bike lanes each side, rather than the standard 4-ft.). Also included: new 6-ft. concrete (not asphalt) sidewalks, no pole relocations/no additional ROW acquisition and an access management plan to determine specific median opening locations (with public input).

Read the Magazine Now — ANNUAL MEETING RECAP — #ICYMI - "In Case You Missed It" From the Desk of Lynda Weatherman - Presentation Highlights Thank you to our sponsors, elected officials, Executive Committee, Board of Directors, Investors and guests for attending our 2016 Annual Meeting at the Harris Technology Center in Palm Bay. I have received an overwhelming number of positive responses and feedback. I take this opportunity to highlight specific points from my presentation so that together we can continue to meet the needs of our community. In Brevard County, manufacturing has been the backbone of our economy. This critical sector is facing serious workforce attraction challenges that are impacting the future availability of manufacturing talent locally. In 2014, the EDC introduced a pilot program focused on Certified Production Technician training (CPT), a program dedicated to training entry-level manufacturing workers. Then in July of this year, we expanded our approach to include Talent Attraction directly appealing to top tier engineering and high-tech workers. Both the CPT and Talent Attraction initiatives will be organized under a new program called, Talent Asset Pipeline (TAP). TAP will ensure Brevard County has the skilled talent to fuel the success of the next generation of manufacturing workers. In a 2011 book titled, “The Coming Jobs War” by Jim Clifton, the author states - “A global job war is coming and there is no time to waste. Cities are crumbling for lack of jobs; nations are in revolt because their people can’t get good jobs. The cities and countries that act first – that focus everything they have on creating good jobs are the ones that win.” Throughout my tenure at the EDC, we have overcome many obstacles. Many of those challenges we conquered together, while others were quietly diffused without fanfare. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is critical we remain ahead of this war and never become complacent. To attain victory, I implore you to advocate for and contribute to this EDC. Together, we will work to preserve Brevard’s relevance and business vitality against the competition. Brevard - Comeback by the Numbers Earlier this year, the EDC produced a video highlighting the relocation and expansion projects announced between October 2010 and May 2016. This video captures the energy and excitement of our achievements. Please, continue to show your support for the EDC and share this video with your friends and colleagues. Click the picture or find the video on our Facebook page. Impact & Return on Investment Analysis Did you know that the EDC announced the creation and retention of 14,004 jobs within the past five years? And, attached to each of those job is an average wage of $75,509 totaling $873M in consumer spending within our region?

Cunningham Distinguished Service Award for Economic Development The EDC honored the late, Bjornar Hermansen for transforming the economic landscape of Brevard County. Bjornar was instrumental in bringing the multi-day cruise concept to Port Canaveral opening the door for businesses to develop the port into the second largest cruise port in the country. Bjornar’s son, Tom Hermansen, accepted the award and was joined by his wife Cortney Hermansen and mother, Bjorg Hermansen. 2016 Volunteer of the Year Award The EDC presented this year’s Volunteer of the Year to Mike Ennis, Manufacturing Engineer for Harris Government Communication Systems. Mike significantly contributed to the recent formation of the Regional Manufacturing Association of the Space Coast (MASC). He worked closely with the EDC to help reshape the way the needs of our manufacturing industry are addressed.

Murray delivered a comprehensive overview of the Port’s accomplishments during the past year and plans for the future. “We are the second busiest cruise port in the world — a strategic standing in a competitive business that we work hard to maintain,” he said. “Globally, our cargo capabilities are less well known, but we have the industry knowledge and financial strength to carefully grow this business.” Watch the video Red Cross Distributes Hurricane Relief Supplies from Donated Warehouse Space The Port Authority provided the American Red Cross with 90,000 square feet of space in the new Titusville Logistics Center to store and distribute relief supplies to those who suffered loss from Hurricane Matthew. The supplies were positioned to help Central Florida, but will be used elsewhere as well. Volunteers Gather at Jetty Park for International Coastal Cleanup The Port Environmental Department teamed up with more than 150 volunteers from Carnival Cruise Line, SeaWorld and regional coordinator Keep Brevard Beautiful (KBB) to join in the International Coastal Cleanup on September 17. The cleanup focused on the shoreline areas of the public boat ramp complex, park and beach. Volunteers collected more than 100 bags of trash and 25 bags of recyclables. Ocean Conservancy’s annual International Coastal Cleanup is a global volunteer effort to remove trash from the world’s beaches. Watch the video Seafarers Ministry Gala Supports Local Services for Ships’ Crews The third annual Space Coast Seafarers Ministry Gala took place on September 15 in Cruise Terminal 1. The event broke records, raising more than $60,000 to provide resources such as phones, computers/Internet, local transportation, counseling, hot meals, clothes and mail services to crew members from the ships that dock at Port Canaveral. The entertainment this year included Joe Castillo, a sand artist and storyteller who was a 2012 finalist in America’s Got Talent, and Rockledge soprano saxophonist and recording artist Eirinn Abu. “It turned out to be all we’d hoped for,” Ministry Director Reverend Mark Wodka said. “We are very thankful for our gala coordinator Michelle Bowers and her team, our generous sponsors and all of the participation of the Port Authority.” Next year, the gala will celebrate the organization’s 20-year anniversary.

COMMISSION MOVES FORWARD WITH MUSEUM DISPLAY AND COMPLIMENTARY CRUISE TERMINAL PARKING FOR DISABLED VETERANS PORT CANAVERAL, FL— October 20, 2016 – During its October Board meeting, the Canaveral Port Authority approved designs for a Port Canaveral display at the new Brevard Veterans Memorial Center on Merritt Island and contributed $25,000 to the expansion project.

Banana River Park Kayak Launch– Hurricane Matthew’s strong westerly winds created unprecedented high tides and wave action which severely deteriorated the shoreline, north Kayak launch and entrance ramp to dock at Banana River Park.

Staff is working with St. Johns River Water Management District and the City contracted engineer on different solutions to the problem. Since the City was awarded a shoreline restoration grant for this Park and Manatee Sanctuary Park and the project was already slated to begin in the January / February time frame, the shoreline between the dock and the south landing will remain closed until the whole bank can be properly restored. Staff is working on a temporary solution to allow safe access to the river through the dock. The south landing remains open for use.

Brevard IRL Coalition/Citizensforthelagoon.org Update. Included below is the latest correspondence promoting the ½ cent sales tax referendum to restore the Indian River Lagoon. Community A Letter From The President 10/24/2016 Dear Members, First and foremost: A tremendous and deeply sincere thanks goes to all of you who have stepped up to volunteer and share educational opportunities with your friends and neighbors. As those of you who have waved signs already can attest, there is solid community support for the lagoon and coming together to do the right thing for her. The cross-partisan support is carrying this ball to the end zone, and the general sentiment is, palpably, one of hope. And community. And yeah, I'll say it, love. It's convenient that the facts of the matter make this a clear choice. The Florida Today Editorial Board agrees in their recent piece, directly answering those who believe there's plenty of funds available elsewhere. (Spoiler alert: There's not.) This whole thing is pretty historic, from my humble vantage point. Even during one of the most ugly, polarized and vitriolic periods of time we can remember, a community is coming together, arm in arm, hand in hand, and agreeing to make our home a healthier, more beautiful place to live and work. How often does THAT happen? There's plenty more to do, but witnessing THIS phenomenon and the momentum building toward necessary means to achieve our collective vision...Well, it's assuring. We DO love our lagoon. Our future does indeed hold clear blue waters, healthy fish and marine life, acres of sea grass, and a happy, prosperous community. And that's pretty cool. Respectfully, Mel Martin Brevard IRL Coalition Citizensforthelagoon.org And please, if you have friends, neighbors, or pesky Facebook trolls who still don t understand why the lagoon referendum is in all of our best interests, please personally invite them to ask their questions and express their concerns at this final (free and open to the public) townhall meeting THIS WEDNESDAY EVENING: Copyright © 2016 Brevard Indian River Lagoon Coalition.
