Issue 29.19 of The Weekly Update August 12, 2019 Human Resources / Risk Management JUST IN TIME FOR SCHOOL, AUGUST IS SAFE DRIVING AWARENESS MONTH More than 10,000 drivers in Florida passed a school bus illegally in just one day, according to a survey by the Florida Department of Education. It's a shocking statistic with possibly deadly consequences. KNOW THE DANGER ZONES Likely related, studies also indicate limited understanding by motorist of Florida school bus laws. 4111.11111111111.11111111P- -41116111 Minim 64%4 ''t141's Afdzir, 4+P fti , 66.621. 0,63A 41r 41- 4.944- 1.1111.* AIM Here's what you need to know: • Motorists must remain stopped as long as children are present on the roadway; the red lights flash or the stop arm is out. The only exception is where you are approaching the bus from the opposite direction on a road with at least two lanes in each direction. • Motorists may not pass a school bus when red or amber warning lights are flashing. • A school bus has additional right of way that passenger cars do not. When a school bus is loading or offloading passengers, they will turn on their red flashing lights and put out the stop arm on the driver's side. • Motorists must remain stopped until all children are clear of the roadway and the bus signal has been withdrawn. • If the highway is divided by a raised barrier or an unpaved median at least five feet wide, you do not have to stop if you are moving in the opposite direction of the bus. • It is illegal to pass a school bus from behind when yellow lights are flashing. Issue 29.19 of The Weekly Update August 12, 2019 • When approaching a school bus traveling in the opposite direction, a driver must reduce their speed to 20 miles per hour or less when yellow lights are flashing and be prepared to stop when the stop arm is extended or red lights flash. • Passing a stopped School Bus is a class 1 criminal misdemeanor. If found guilty, one would not be sentenced to active jail time but rather probation and/or community service and some type of driving school. If an injury occurs because a motorist illegally passed a school bus, the motorist can expect jail time. • If you are at the tail of a T-intersection and a school bus stops on your right, on the cross street with its roof lights on, you cannot make a right turn but you can turn left, away from the bus.

Resilient Cape Canaveral (Vulnerability Analysis) After months of analysis and outreach by City Staff and the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPC), the City's Vulnerability Analysis is complete. Funded by a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection through their Florida Resilient Coastlines Program—a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) approved program—the report created by the ECFRPC examines the impacts sea level rise and flooding in Cape Canaveral. The report Issue 29.19 of The Weekly Update August 12, 2019 employs several models developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and NOAA to project possible sea level rise scenarios and the respective impacts on the City. Timeframes evaluated as part of the report include 2040, 2070 and 2100. The report also models future sea level rise and its effect on storm surge. On July 30, 2019, the Planning & Zoning Board reviewed and discussed the report with Staff at their board meeting. Staff answered questions and introduced board members to the City's Sustainability Manager, Zachary Eichholz. To view the meeting visit the City's official YouTube page. The City Council will also review and discuss the report at its August 20th meeting. Moving forward, the Planning &Zoning Board and the City Council will be asked to consider a number of resiliency goals and strategic policy changes to the Comprehensive Plan and City Code in order to better position the City for economic, environmental and social resiliency. These may include initiatives such as requiring more green infrastructure via low-impact development regulations, increased flood-resistant construction requirements and funding of shore hardening efforts. It is also important to note that these recommendations are in line with State Comprehensive Plan Coastal Management requirements (F.S.163.3178) and legislation via SB 1094 (Peril of Flood). To view the full report, visit the City's sustainability webpage. New City Municipal Software—Ongoing In an effort to improve technology, efficiency, revenues and customer support, the City seeks to modernize its capabilities and harness new technology to improve the delivery of public services. BS&A will provide the City with software that supports current needs, while fulfilling the ever increasing demands of day-to-day operations by serving the needs of the Community more efficiently via online applications, payments and scheduling. During the week of August 12, 2019, the Community Development Department will continue training for the new municipal software. As the City moves through the training process some services may be temporarily impacted. In the interim, be sure to check the City's website and social media as more information becomes available or contact Brenda Defoe-Surprenant at(321) 868-1220, Ext. 139 to learn how this may affect day-to-day operations. Rezoning Project—Ongoing As part of the larger City-initiated rezoning effort, on July 30, 2019 the Planning& Zoning Board met with Staff to consider and review the recommendation of Ordinance No. XX-2019 to establish Public Use/Recreation and Conservation Zoning Districts. While these districts are present in the City's Comprehensive Plan, they have never been defined in the City's Code of Ordinances. The Districts will recognize existing public facilities and conservation areas while also planning for the future. To view the meeting visit the City's official YouTube page. Issue 29.19 of The Weekly Update August 12, 2019 Hurricane Irma: Resources Available for Residents As we are in the 2019 hurricane season, we want to share the following resources with you. Because Brevard County has been identified by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity(DEO) as "most impacted or distressed" following Hurricane Irma. Several resources may be available to you. Rebuild Florida is a DEO program created to help Florida's long-term recovery efforts from the devastating impacts of Hurricane Irma. The state of Florida is committed to helping homeowners, small businesses and communities affected by this storm. Two major programs are listed below: • The Rebuild Florida Housing Repair and Replacement Program is helping eligible homeowners impacted by Hurricane Irma by repairing, rebuilding or replacing damaged homes across the hardest-hit communities. • The Rebuild Florida Business Loan Fund, a resiliency loan fund provided through a partnership with the U.S. Economic Development Administration, is assisting businesses that experienced physical damage or economic injury from Hurricane Irma. Building • The Building Division conducted 47 inspections and completed 19 plan reviews. The division also processed 35 new building permits and applications and 54 payments for permits and BTR applications that were picked up. • Compiled July Month End Permit Report for Brevard County Property Appraiser's Office and completed records request. • Compiled new street address information for Florida Department of Revenue. Code Enforcement • Issued six Courtesy Letters for property conditions. • Issued two Notice of Violations. The ABCs of the IPMC and other things relating to Code Enforcement The City's goal is voluntary compliance in order to better promote, protect, and improve the health, safety, and welfare of the Community and eliminate confusion on the Code Enforcement process.

Tree Permitting Requirements The City of Cape Canaveral has been a tree City for 30 years, and Staff has made every attempt to preserve healthy and native trees in the Community. Traditionally, City Code has required certain actions from property owners prior to the removal of a tree. These requirements usually included an application through permitting for all tree removal requests. However, this changed recently with House Bill 1159 (effective July 1, 2019). The bill states that: "A local government may not require a notice, application, approval,permit,fee, or mitigation for the pruning, trimming, or removal of a tree on residential property if the property owner obtains documentation from an arborist certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or a Florida licensed landscape architect that the tree presents a danger to persons or property. A local government may not require a property owner to replant a tree that was pruned, trimmed, or removed in accordance with this section. " What this now means is that residential property owners do not have to apply for, or obtain a permit through the City as long as they obtain documentation from a certified arborist or landscape architect stating the tree they wish to remove is dangerous. In the past, a property owner was required to submit an application for tree removal and the City's arborist would inspect the tree. If the tree was declared dangerous (hazardous), Staff would issue a no fee permit and allow the property owner to remove the tree. The most notable change is that HB 1159, allows residential property owners the ability to obtain documentation from a certified or licensed specialist on their own instead of apply through the City. With that in mind, the City will make every attempt to work with property owners regarding tree removal, and if a property owner believes that a tree is dangerous and would like the City to assist or has questions pertaining to the new bill please contact Code Enforcement Officer, Brian Palmer at (321) 868-1220 Ext.115. Issue 29.19 of The Weekly Update August 12, 2019 Code Enforcement Case Status In conjunction with Code Enforcement and Community Engagement Staff, developed a more efficient reporting process for residents/parties to find the status of City Code Enforcement cases. The new look which will allow for easier tracking of cases, will be updated weekly and available on the City's webpage. To check on the status of an item, click on the Code Enforcement Case List. Community Services Sustainability + Community Engagement Community Garden Presents STEAM Opportunity Last semester, Staff reached out to Cape View Elementary with a unique community arts opportunity—but not one for the art classes. The project invited science classes to create designs to decorate rain barrels for the community garden using concepts they were learning about in class. The result was four incredible designs with an underlying theme of sustainability: "Good Garden Bugs," "The Water Cycle," "Dune Conservation" and"Sustainable Energy."These were turned into UV- resistant vinyl wraps and applied to the 55-gallon barrels that were installed in the Community Garden last week. This was the first coordinated STEAM activity between the City and Cape View Elementary, and given its success, Staff is exploring more arts collaboration ideas for the coming school year. r ... - Dv- a � € Iii 1 �.i' 1 V _ /`\`/O Oar ;3 ,° �1 ,A j i Q y ,,---,..v',,,..-!!'•:'s,V3-: ;-. 4''',-,5, • ,,,,, .fiC m IP ' Ci-.'z.::. ,,,_ t— ior ft , ..- ..._ ,,. ,,, it,_'AO Collage of photos of rain barrels wrapped with children's artwork Issue 29.19 of The Weekly Update August 12, 2019 Additional School Zone Signs Installed In conjunction with the Brevard County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) and the Community Development department, the Community Services department has installed a number of SCHOOL ZONE AHEAD signs to increase public awareness and safety around Cape View Elementary. At the beginning of summer BCSO approached the City about installing additional traffic signs around the school. Staff followed up, by doing an inventory around the school to suggest additional locations based on the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). As a result, nine (9) additional signs have been installed around Cape View Elementary to increase public awareness. As the City works to ensure the safety of all of its residents and Community members, we want to remind drivers to be mindful and reduce their speed when traveling in school zones. Wagner Park in the News! Wagner Park, the City's new pocket park, was highlighted in a Spectrum News 13 story last week, showcasing its stormwater capture and detention abilities. You can find the news story here. Volunteers in our City Last Monday the City of Cape Canaveral hosted a trash pickup of the beaches and crossovers with almost 60 students from the Florida Tech Department of Residence Life, also known as Reslife. During the school year, these students help to look after residents living within Florida Tech's residence halls while also providing educational programming and outreach coordination both on and off their campus. This isn't the first environmentally oriented endeavor Reslife has conducted. The department has helped to plant Mangroves at both Port Canaveral and the Sebastian Inlet. They also helped to establish Florida Tech's first community garden, for which the City's own community garden takes its new raised bed designs from. At the end of every school year they also engage in a campus program called Leave Green that allows departing students to donate usable and wanted items at various drop off points in residence halls, which is then picked up by Goodwill and distributed across the Central Florida area. Since its inception Leave Green has helped to divert well over 10,000 pounds of items from the landfill. In addition to all that goodness, Reslife also painted the Little Free Library+Pantry for the Community Garden! Altogether on Monday the group helped to pick up and remove over 50 pounds of trash, including old fishing nets washed ashore. Keep Brevard Beautiful, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping communities and organizations keep Brevard County clean, increasing recycling education and empowering environmental stewardship, provided all of the cleanup's supplies.

Issue 29.19 of The Weekly Update August 12, 2019 Cape View Elementary Playground Update The much anticipated new playground at Cape View Elementary will be open for business,just in time for the new school year! The equipment installation was completed last Wednesday and the maintenance team from Brevard Public Schools finished the project off with several loads of fresh mulch. What a wonderful way to kick off a new semester! The successful completion of this project not only represents a victory for the school, but for the entire City of Cape Canaveral Community. As a municipality that is 100%vested in the quality of life amenities for its residents young and old, the City shared the cost of this project by granting the school $10,000 and facilitated several fundraising opportunities at City events. 1111 Tim - ,, .11uF. 11,00,,111.1 N 01,14 l 'I'llift -.- ! - a/ - o !

Just over 71 tons (143,000 pounds) of discarded concrete and asphalt debris were recently removed from the site to make way for over 350 new native trees that will soon be planted. This will help to rehabilitate what just a few months ago was a Brazilian Pepper infested forest, an invasive tree species that has the ability to produce a dense closed canopy that can shade and choke out Florida native plants and animals. New trees will include: Live Oak, Pignut Hickory, Southern Red Cedar, Sabal Palms and American Holly. As seen in the architectural plan, these trees will one day grow to surround a new ADA compliant boardwalk that will make its way west through the park towards beautiful lagoon-facing gazebos and a Issue 29.19 of The Weekly Update August 12, 2019 kayak dock, with benches throughout. The park itself will help to create a buffer zone against potential storm surge impacts and erosion while also serving as an estuary for aquatic species in its protected canals. Other amenities will include informational/educational kiosks, a bike rack, bike fix-it station, ADA compliant bathrooms and bird and bat houses situated near the park's western end.

This public outreach session about Long Point Road Estuary Park is a continuation of previous brainstorm sessions, so come learn about the project, get an update and voice your thoughts on what else you think would benefit this project. Zachary Eichholz, the City's Sustainability Manager, along with other City Staff will be discussing: • Project history, updates+benefits • Project sustainability initiatives • Kayak(paddle) trail establishment • Taking questions/suggestions Issue 29.19 of The Weekly Update August 12, 2019 We will have lots of site pictures, a mood board and residents can suggest additional park amenities so we can explore future grants. Come see the future Tuesday, August 27,2019 at 3:30 p.m. at City Hall. Project Update/Timeline: August 2019: • Install fence along northern property line. Replant site with 381 native tree species (the type of tree planted at each location will be determined by land elevation,presence of surface water, location of future boardwalk, etc.). Remainder of 2019 and 2020: • Monitor growth of native tree species and regrowth of Brazilian Pepper Trees (treat if necessary). Year 2020: • Prepare and submit grant applications to fund the design and construction of a boardwalk and other amenities from the western end of Long Point Drive to the Banana River. • The City's contractor completed the excavation and removal of asphalt and concrete construction debris discovered at the site. Approximately 143,000 pounds of asphalt/concrete were removed. Rebar was not observed in any of the construction debris. • The property will be replanted with native tree species per the Planting Plan as approved by St. Johns River Water Management District(SJRWMD). Staff was informed by SJRWMD that they will not be purchasing the two wetlands properties to the south of the City-owned site. It was determined that the property to the immediate south already includes a conservation easement so mitigation credits are not available for the removal of Brazilian pepper trees. Improvements described above will continue on the City-owned property. Project updates are available in The Weekly Update, on the City web page and on City social media platforms. Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Course The Director attended a two-day Jurisdictional Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) (MGT-130) class at the Orlando Operations Center. Participants learned about how to identify threats and hazards of jurisdictional concern, give those threats and hazards context, establish capability targets and determine how to apply the THIRA results. By using the THIRA process, stakeholders will develop a strategy to allocate resources and establish mitigation and preparedness activities. THIRA-informed planning is consistent with and expands on nationally accepted emergency management standards as the basis for planning across the mission areas of prevention,protection, mitigation, response and recovery.
