Cape Canaveral Vision Statement
We envision: A bikeable and walkable Cape Canaveral that retains and enhances its welcoming
residential feel, characterized by low-rise buildings. This residential and business friendly
atmosphere is a livable, attractive, safe, inclusive and sustainable coastal community that embraces
the oceanside and riverside as the main amenities, and supports and promotes local tourism,
culture, recreation, commerce, municipal civic interests and education.
We envision: A City network of"complete streets"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
walkable 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 as The Space Between. 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: An engaged and compassionate 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, acts progressively but deliberately and actively recruits and supports
businesses that enhance economic viability and serve our residents and visitors with goodwill.
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.

Labor Market Updates
• For the first time, the number of job openings 9 _
(4.1% of all U.S. jobs) exactlymatches the • Tit; �'
number of unemployed (4.1%). [Source: Wall ;
Street Journal] ( �
• AFL-CIO President contends spending 18
billion a year on job training is not addressing the challenges of getting the worker,replaced
by technology, back to work. While not opposed to training, he insists we need to
acknowledge that not every displaced factory worker is not going to succeed in getting a
college degree. Some of those college training dollars need to go towards the development
of apprenticeship programs and workers must be encouraged to pursue training in areas
that match their interests and skills.
• The unemployment rate for workers over 50 has dropped to 3.2%, lower than the overall
4.1% and 14.4%unemployment rate for teens.
• More companies are hiring experienced"senior"workers and senior workers are more than
willing to keep on working largely because they fear they do not have enough saved for
retirement. [Source: NBC]
• The State of Arizona is considering"forcing"workers receiving unemployment benefits to
accept the first "suitable" offer of employment or lose benefits. Arizona's current
employment rate is 4.8%.
• While the Florida job market remains near full employment,job creation fell from 2.6%to
1.8%. Construction remains the exception for Florida's "cooling"job market adding jobs
at a 5.8% increase over last year, an increase likely contributed to Hurricane Irma storm
damage repairs and housing shortages following an influx of 269,000 Puerto Rican U.S.
Citizens following Hurricane Maria.

Park Aware
The Director participated in a webinar on Tuesday, March 20, 2018, with a California-based
smart parking management platform called "Park Aware". Park Aware uses sensors to track
parking visibility and assist in parking enforcement in real-time. Paid parking was explored
seven years ago, as a program to collect revenue from non-Brevard County residents. Paid
parking for non-Brevard County residents at beach ends, City parks and on-street parking is
something the City will explore as new projects come online. Sustainability goals are
adjusted/created as the City Council and Staff look for ways to continue to provide high levels of
service. The Director is discussing the possibility of a City pilot program for 100 parking spaces.

the Stay.
The Citv's Argument includes:
o The owner's submitted Financial Plan is not realistic.
