Human Resources / Risk Manatement Overtime Rule Change As many as one million more workers may soon be eligible for overtime pay under a rule being considered by the Trump Administration. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) passed by Congress in 1938 is a hallmark piece of legislation enacted during Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and established employment standards governing which employees are eligible for overtime pay and which employees are exempt from overtime pay as a result of their rate of compensation and job duties. On March 7, 2019 the US Department of Labor (DOL) announced a proposed rule that raises the compensation threshold from $455 per week ($23,660 annually) set in 2004, to $679 per week ($35,308 annually). DOL is currently seeking public comment, and any interested party may submit comments. It will likely take months before the DOL issues a Final Rule. Affordable Care Act (ACA) The Trump Administration's Department of Justice announced their support of a Texas judge's ruling invalidating the entire ACA. Polls currently show public support of the ACA at 52% while 37% disapprove. Look to see the ACA topic once again before the Supreme Court as well as a hot topic during the 2020 campaign. Leadership, What it Takes Imagine a workplace where every employee looks forward to reporting for duty, is engaged and empowered to deliver their very best. Imagine the levels of productivity and innovation that would be unleashed, let alone the social and economic benefits of a highly motivated workforce. So, what's standing in our way of achieving work environments that inspire and promote excellence?... A lack of LEADERSHIP! If you aspire to become a leader that commands the respect and admiration of those you supervise, the following is a pre-requisite: Share the knowledge - Tell at least one friend to read The Weekly Update! Issue 10.19 of The Weekly Update April 1, 2019 • Self-awareness. Your opinions, words you use and even body language means a lot to the people who work for you. They watch everything you say and do in an effort to figure out how you "really feel" about them, their work and their future. Communicate clearly. • Examine your strengths and weaknesses. If you're detailed oriented, used to doing things yourself and/or highly competitive, a leader with such traits must learn to step back and learn to lead and WIN through others. In short, "get out of the weeds". • Empower others and promote their success. The higher you go, the less you should control and the more you should inspire and empower those on your team. • Have confidence in your decisions. Rely on the expertise of others, avoid surrounding yourself with people who always say "yes", but when the decision is yours, demonstrate resolve. Job Vacancies • Summer Recreation Leader- (Four vacancies) • Seasonal positions assigned to the City's Summer Camp Program. Candidates interested in exploring opportunities with the City of Cape Canaveral are invited to visit www.cityofcapecanaveral.org/employment to review the full details of available job postings. Community Development Building Division • Conducted 77 inspections and completed 23 plan reviews. • Processed 37 new building permit applications and 31 payments for permits that were picked up. • Met with City Attorney to discuss Non-Conforming Commercial Rezoning project. In preparation for this project, Staff will be proposing an amendment to City Code to revise notice procedures for large-scale re-zonings/plan amendments. Currently, as part of the notice process, a certified letter must be sent to all property owners within 500 feet of a parcel being rezoned. This can add a significant cost to the applicant. Code Enforcement • Issued two notices of violation. • Posted three properties with Stop Work Orders for work without a permit.

Infrastructure Maintenance (IM) New City Trucks Staff received two (2)new Ford F-150 trucks to replace older fleet vehicles as part of the Capital Improvement Plan(CIP). The replaced trucks were 2004 and 2006 Ford models with 71k and 49k miles respectively. Although the vehicles did not have what is considered high mileage (100k+), due to the nature of City work and the salty coastal environment, the City trucks were in need of replacement. Staff is staying up-to-date on hybrid/fully electric trucks in order to replace fleet vehicles in the future. The hybrid/fully electric trucks look to be coming out on the market starting in 2020. For more information on a fully electric Ford F-150,please visit: www.caranddriver.com/news/a25933730/ford-f-150-electric-pickup-truck-confirmed/ Park Furniture is in for Wagner and Galactic Parks!

Three members of the UM team worked to resolve the issue over several hours, which [Photo of electric panel.] ultimately required assistance from FPL to resolve. Lift Station No. 3 will be rehabbed/replaced Fiscal Year (FY) 19/20- 1/44-4; fr'"~' 20/21 as part of the SRF (State Revolving Fund) Funding Program approved by City Council at the March 19, 2019 regular meeting under Ordinance No. 06-2019. In 2018 Lift Station#3 required 12.5 hours of Staff overtime for various reasons related to power, infrastructure age and outdated capacity (old/small). Picture of Lift Station No. 3's electrical panel. The red light means there is a power fault/malfunction. SCADA system are a combination of software/hardware elements that allow City Staff to monitor, gather, and process real-time data at all lift stations in the City, and the WRF. The current SCADA system is limited to alarms/monitoring, but the City is in the process of upgrading the existing SCADA system City wide in FY 19/20—20/21 (also part of the SRF Funding Program under Ordinance No. 06-2019) which will allow Staff to directly interact with devices such as sensors, valves, pumps, motors. Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) / Sanitary Sewer System Lift Station No. 2 and Holman Road Sewer Improvements This project included the excavation and replacement of the existing sanitary sewer pipe and manholes from Lift Station No. 2 on Center Street to the northwestern corner of Holman Road (Phases II/III). Phase I of this project was completed in 2016 and included replacement of the sanitary sewer pipe along Holman Road. Cleanup activities continue; final Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) compliance documents and as-built drawings are being prepared. Anticipated completion date is May 2019. Tank Cleaning This Project was initiated on March 29th and includes the removal of sand and grit from four tanks at the WRF including both anoxic tanks and fermentation basins. Removal of excessive amounts of sand and grit will improve the efficiency of the treatment process throughout the plant.

The system will improve the efficiency of the treatment process and further improve water quality. The carbon feed system is required by Consent Order No. 18-0916 dated July 12, 2019. Miscellaneous Beach Renourishment Project Beach renourishment (pumping of sand) is currently south of the City limits and will continue to progress southward through Cocoa Beach.

A local bee-keeper was contacted to rehome a friendly nest of horney bees that took up residency at the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) reflection pond. This is not the first time bees have decided to nest in the landscaping around the WRF, but usually they move on [Picture of bee box.] after a few days. City of Cape Canaveral promotes conservation/preservation/sustainability in all things great and small! Bees collect pollen and nectar as food and in doing so pollinate plants. This cross-pollination helps at least 30% of the world's crops and 90% of wild plants. Without bees many plants, including our food crops, would die off.

State Road A1A Update • Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District V Officials are in receipt of City Council's Resolution 2019-01,updating our priorities for SR A1A. Initial feedback from an FDOT Safety Studies Engineer indicates resistance on two important design points: 1. Curb and cutter-FDOT's preliminary assessment indicates that significant right-of-way (ROW) acquisitions will be needed to convert the corridor to curb & gutter. FDOT is looking at alternative typical sections now but it doesn't look like it will be a feasible alternative without additional ROW. Once FDOT has completed the ROW acquisition estimates they will coordinate with the City to review what feasible options exist. The City has expressed a strong desire for curb and gutter as part of the larger goals of pedestrian and bicyclist safety and separation as well increased stormwater control and the reduction of lagoon impacts. 2. High-intensity Activated crossWalK (HAWK) beacons or Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs) - FDOT's Engineer of Record(EOR) has indicated that HAWKs and PHBs may not be warranted and recommended Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) due to the observations and counts at the locations, following a Statewide hierarchy in control type for crosswalks. While RRFBs may be appropriate in single lane bi-directional Share the knowledge - Tell at least one friend to read The Weekly Update! Issue 10.19 of The Weekly Update April 1, 2019 roadways, Staff has expressed a strong resistance to RRFBs on the multi-lane SR AlA because a larger stopped vehicle in the right lane has great potential to block the view of approaching drivers in the left lane. For this reason, all lanes need to be able to see yellow and red lights. See photos below. [Photos of HAWK, PHB and RRFB crosswalk systems.] Other Items of Local Interest • Continued discussions with Stakeholders regarding Cape Canaveral's Bikeshare service provider (Zagster) regarding docked e-scooters and e-bikes, effective local regulation and possible new locations. • Coordinated with FDOT and Brevard County regarding the removal of vegetation from a utility cabinet north of Jackson Ave. and SR A1A in preparation for a Civic Scenery Project wrap.

Bicycle Safety With us all enjoying our wonderful Florida weather, we want you to also be safe while bicycling. Here are Ten Tips for Successful Cycling. (Courtesy of CyclingSavvy) 1) Ride on the road. Adult bicyclists do not belong on the sidewalk. Sidewalk cycling [Bike increases conflict for cyclists, motorists and Safety graphics] pedestrians. Sidewalk cycling is not only inconvenient and slow, it actually increases your risk of being hit by a car because it aggravates turning and crossing conflicts. The sidewalk also presents many more hazards such as poles, posts and branches. 2) Know and follow the rules. The rules of the road are for everyone. They exist to make us all predictable to one another. Bicyclists who violate the rules are not only far more likely to be hit by a car, they are disruptive and breed animosity among fellow road users. Share the knowledge - Tell at least one friend to read The Weekly Update! Issue 10.19 of The Weekly Update April 1, 2019 The basic rules: • First come, first served. • Always ride the same direction as traffic. • Yield to traffic before entering a road. • Yield to overtaking traffic when changing lanes. • Obey all traffic control devices. • Integrate in the intersections. • Always use the lane that serves your destination. • Turn left from left turn lanes. • Never ride straight in a right-turn-only lane. • When approaching an intersection in a wide lane or a bike lane, merge left into the main traffic flow or lane. 3) Ride Big. Most roads have lanes that are not wide enough to be safely shared by cars and bikes operated side-by-side. You are allowed the full use of a lane that is not wide enough to share. Communicate that the lane is not wide enough for a motorist to squeeze past you by riding far enough left that there clearly is not room for the width of a car between you and the lane line. Riding big makes you visible and encourages motorists to give generous passing clearance. It also gives you some place to go if a motorist does come too close. 4) Communicate. You are part of the "system" and you need to be predictable to others. Communication makes you predictable. Be sure to signal turns and lane changes. When motorists know what you want to do, most of them will try to help you out! 5) Be mindful of your surroundings. Markings on the roadway are static. Traffic is dynamic. As a result, bike-specific markings sometimes put you in the wrong place. You MUST take your cues from the whole environment. Never let paint think for you 6) Understand how traffic flows. If you understand traffic flow, you can anticipate and place yourself in a position which makes things easier for yourself and your fellow road users. Learn how traffic controls and road features influence traffic flow, and how you can take advantage of this. Share the knowledge - Tell at least one friend to read The Weekly Update! Issue 10.19 of The Weekly Update April 1, 2019 Elements to the flow: • Make sure you are visible to crossing and turning traffic. This often means leaving a bike lane and moving to the left side of the general use lane. • Never ride within 5ft of a parked car. This area is called the "door zone."A suddenly-opened car door can be deadly. Some bike lanes are striped entirely within the door zone. • Passing a queue of stopped traffic on the right can expose you to many crash hazards. Sometimes it's better just to wait in the queue. • Never, ever pass a large truck on the right 7) Want respect? Act respectably. Be considerate of your fellow road users. But also demonstrate respect for yourself Control your space by default and help motorists pass you when appropriate. Offer a friendly wave when others are respectful of you. When motorists arrive before you at a red light, stop behind them. Don't pull to the front of the queue and make them have to get around you after the intersection. 8) Let it go: don't escalate harassment. You will be passed uneventfully by thousands of considerate citizens for every one jerk who yells or honks. So,when someone does honk or yell at you, let it go. Smile and wave (with all five fingers), or pretend you heard nothing. They will simply move on with their negative self and you can remember the nice person who smiled and waved you through a lane change a few minutes before. 9) Keep it fun! Bicycling offers a higher trip quality than most other forms of transportation. This is true whether you ride on quiet streets or share the road with motor traffic. Interacting with other road users is a dance you lead. The better you are at communicating and operating predictably, the better your dance partners will be. Those of us who ride mindfully, with a friendly attitude toward our fellow road users, seldom experience close calls or hostility.
