Human Resources / Risk Management Protect Yourself from Lightning Strikes In case you are not aware, Florida is the "lightning capital" of the country. From 2006-2018, lightning caused an average of 30 deaths per year in the United States. You can protect yourself from risk even if you're outdoors when lightning is close by. Issue 30.19 of The Weekly Update August 19, 2019 Safety precautions outdoors • If the weather forecast calls for thunderstorms,postpone your trip or activity. • Remember: When thunder roars, go indoors. Find a safe, enclosed shelter. • Don't forget the 30-30 rule. After you see lightning, start counting to 30. If you hear thunder before you reach 30, go indoors. Suspend activities for at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder. • If no shelter is available, crouch low with as little of your body touching the ground as possible. Lightning causes electric currents along the top of the ground that can be deadly over 100 feet away. • Stay away from concrete floors or walls. Lightning can travel through any metal wires or bars in concrete walls or flooring. While a non-concrete structure is always the safest place to seek shelter, being indoors does not automatically protect you from lightning. In fact, about one- third of lightning-strike injuries occur indoors. Safety precautions indoors • Avoid water during a thunderstorm. Lightning can travel through plumbing. • Avoid electronic equipment of all types. Lightning can travel through electrical, radio and television reception systems. • Avoid corded phones. Cordless or cellular phones are safe to use during a storm. • Avoid concrete floors and walls. Americans with Employer Health Coverage Face Growing Cost Burdens U.S. workers and their families, especially those living in the South, are spending a bigger share of their income on health care, a new Commonwealth Fund study finds. Average employee premium contributions for single and family plans consumed nearly 7 percent of U.S. median income in 2017, up from 5 percent in 2008. In Louisiana, premium contributions represented 10.2 percent of median income. For Americans whose incomes fall in the midrange of the income distribution, total spending on employer plan premiums and potential out-of-pocket costs to meet deductibles amounted to 11.7 percent of income last year,up from 7.8 percent a decade earlier.

Community Development Planning cp/ #PSA—New City Municipal Software In an effort to improve technology, efficiency, revenues and customer support, the City will be transitioning to a new software provider to improve the delivery of public services. With this in mind, please note that on August 21, 2019, the Community Development Department will be offline for two hours between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. as we prepare for the new municipal software. Applications and permitting services will be temporarily impacted so please be mindful and patient. If you have questions on how this may directly impact you, contact City Hall at(321) 868-1220 (Ext 139). Issue 30.19 of The Weekly Update August 19, 2019 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 assessment is complete. Funded by a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection(FDEP)through their Florida Resilient Coastlines Program (FRCP)—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 employs several models developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 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 August 20, 2019 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(LID)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. To view the Planning & Zoning Board meeting on this subject, visit the City's official YouTube page. Rezoning Project—Ongoing As part of the larger City-initiated rezoning effort, on July 30, 2019 the Planning &Zoning Board meet 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. Hurricane Irma: Resources Available for Residents Brevard County has been identified by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) as "most impacted or distressed" following Hurricane Irma, and 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. Issue 30.19 of The Weekly Update August 19, 2019 • 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 74 inspections and completed 11 plan reviews. The division also processed 33 new building permits and applications and 51 payments for permits and BTR applications that were picked up. • Continued training with BS&A on new permitting program. Code Enforcement • Issued 31 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. As Code Enforcement evolves, be sure to check this space and stay up-to-date in order to learn more about the ABCs of the IPMC and other things relating to Code Enforcement! • 1 kelt/ • 't' Ai3Cstads Enfortc*nent pod other thin95 relating to } 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 Issue 30.19 of The Weekly Update August 19, 2019 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 applying 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). 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 will allow for easier tracking of cases and 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.

The project work area includes the replacement of stormwater lines beneath (1) the 300 block of Polk Avenue and(2) Orange Avenue from Polk Avenue to Fillmore Avenue. Construction is scheduled for late-2019. Other Items of Local Interest Estuary Property—Long Point Drive Future project tasks at the site include: • 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 (irrigate if necessary) 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. Issue 30.19 of The Weekly Update August 19, 2019 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, but rebar was not observed in any of the construction debris. The City's consultant performed another spraying event of Brazilian Pepper Trees which had resprouted. Native tree species were also ordered and will be planted per the Planting Plan as approved by St. Johns River Water Management District(SJRWMD). Project updates are available in The Weekly Update, on the City web page and on City social media platforms. Staff initiated preparation of a Waterway Assistance Program(WAP) grant application for the funding of park improvements including construction of a boardwalk, small parking lot, kayak launch, etc. The grant application is due March 2020. Utilities Advisory Board Meeting Staff attended the quarterly Utilities Advisory Board Meeting in Cocoa on August 8th. The main topic of the meeting was a discussion about future potable water rates charged by the City of Cocoa. Key points of the discussion are as follows: • Five percent(5%) annual increases in potable water rates are again planned for each of the next five years. • Four percent(4%) annual increases in potable water rates are planned for the following five years–possible reduction in capital costs allows for a reduced rate increase. • City of Cocoa has a capital budget of$20 - $22 million per year for improvements to the potable water system. Sustainability + Community Engagement Libraries: Not Just for Book Worms Anymore As Cape Canaveral Library Director Lisa Olzewski explained at last week's Library Board meeting, many libraries across the country are shifting their focus from books and traditional media services to Community Enrichment Programs. This trend is evident right here in Cape Canaveral where library visitors can take part in crafting activities, enjoy local history presentations or bring their children in for a creativity building Lego session. Libraries are no longer just dusty book repositories; they are places for Communities to come together. Wellness programs are also part of this trend. One of the newest ones to come to the Cape Canaveral Public Library(CCPL) is the Senior Fitness Class. Each Wednesday, fitness instructor Polly Helm leads a 2-hour low-impact workout designed to help increase stamina, strength and balance. But that's not all—on the third Tuesday of each month, the Visiting Nurses Association hosts a free Blood Pressure Clinic where visitors can receive a free blood pressure check and get important resources on heart health and blood pressure management. CCPL is also a destination for One Blood's Big Red Bus which was just in town last week. Their next visit will be October 18th so stay tuned for details! Issue 30.19 of The Weekly Update August 19, 2019 If you haven't checked out the CCPL Calendar or visited recently—you're overdue! Stop in this week! 2020 Student Art Show to Introduce STEAM Category With the new school year already underway, it's time to roll out the plans for the next Student Art Show! Although last year's show will be difficult to top, the City's Cultural Programs Manager still has a few tricks up her sleeve to make this one even bigger and better! Given the success of last semester's rain barrel project, and the overwhelming curriculum focuses on science, technology, engineering, ARTS and mathematics, it's time to introduce cross-collaborative art projects into the show. This will allow students to incorporate concepts they are learning in other areas of their coursework and showcase the integral connections between creativity and scientific applications. Due to conflicts with other local art shows, Cape Canaveral's 2020 event will take place the first week of April at the Cape Canaveral Public Library. Weather permitting, awards will be presented on the main stage at Friday Fest at 7:00 p.m. on April 3, 2020. it S • / ,- 1A-:1-.7 _ . ,tr,, Ih..ii i , ar It .

Vision Zero is a mindset where the only acceptable number of serious Issue 30.19 of The Weekly Update August 19, 2019 injuries and fatalities on our roadways is ZERO. Every traffic-related fatality and serious injury statistic is someone's loved one. The City is committed to a bikeable, walkable Community and attendees are very interested in what distinguished district leaders have to say about engineering and education efforts for this program. City Excited to Welcome IYEP Students for a Second Visit For the second year in a row, the City of Cape Canaveral was selected for a visit by 12 students and their Chaperones enrolled in Japan's International Youth Exchange Program (IYEP). This group will be traveling from Kimotsuki Town, Japan and will have the opportunity to enjoy an immersive cultural experience during their visit as they will be welcomed into the homes of local host families. Part of the reason that IYEP selected Cape Canaveral for these students, are the striking similarities between our two communities. One of which is our shared connection to the history and future of space exploration. Kimotsuki Town, located in Kagoshima, a prefecture in the southeastern part of the country is the home of the Uchinoura Space Center which was installed in 1962 and is now part of the Institute for Space Science and launching point for the Epsilon rockets. To learn more about what we have in common with this small (Pacific) coastal Community visit their website. At the City Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, August 20, 2019 (6:00 p.m.), the City will welcome our IYEP guests formally with a proclamation by Mayor Hoog and an exchange of gifts between our communities. 02- 4144., 00- .

We wore our Kindness Symbol t- shirts to celebrate the day. The Kindness Symbol was created by the TK students at Tropical Elementary on Merritt Island who wish for it to be the National Symbol of Kindness. Issue 30.19 of The Weekly Update August 19, 2019 The kids, ages 5 to 7, and their teacher, Barbara Wilcox, are pushing their creation through a petition at change.org. As of early Friday, more than 4,300 people had signed on. Please take to time to support your Community in this effort! The petition states, in part: "Having a recognizable, easy to recreate symbol will remind people to be kind. We already have and use symbols for love,peace and happiness and a kindness symbol will add to our national focus of being kind. Please sign our petition to encourage our nation to declare the Kindness Symbol as the National Symbol of Kindness. Thank you."

Cyberbullying Parents, grandparents, guardians, caregivers, and educators— with the start of the school year we wanted to provide valuable information to help the children/teenagers in our community deal with cyberbullying. Please read and share the below information with those in your family, community or classroom! If you're like most teenagers, you spend a lot of time on a cell phone or instant messenger chatting with friends and uploading photos, videos and music to websites. You may have online friends whom you've never met in person, with whom you play games and exchange messages. Teens' lives exist in a variety of places such as school hallways, part-time jobs and friends' houses. Now many teens also have lives on the internet. And bullying has followed teens online. Online bullying, called cyberbullying, happens when teens use the internet, cell phones, or other devices to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person. Cyberbullying is a problem that affects almost half of all American teens. Whether you've been a victim of cyberbullying,know someone who has been cyberbullied, or have even cyberbullied yourself, there are steps you and your friends can take to stop cyberbullying and stay cyber-safe. How are Teens Cyberbullied? Being a victim of cyberbullying can be a common and painful experience. Some youth who cyberbully: • Pretend they are other people online to trick others. • Spread lies and rumors about victims. • Trick people into revealing personal information. • Send or forward mean text messages. • Post pictures of victims without their consent.

Other teens believe that youth who cyberbully: • Don't think it's a big deal. • Don't think about the consequences. • Are encouraged by friends. • Think everybody cyberbullies. • Think they won't get caught. How do Victims React? Contrary to what cyberbullies may believe, cyberbullying is a big deal and can cause a variety of reactions in teens. Some teens have reacted in positive ways to try to prevent cyberbullying by: • Blocking communication with the cyberbully. • Deleting messages without reading them. • Talking to a friend about the bullying. • Reporting the problem to an Internet service provider or website moderator. Many youth experience a variety of emotions when they are cyberbullied. Youth who are cyberbullied report feeling angry, hurt, embarrassed, or scared. These emotions can cause victims to react in ways such as: • Seeking revenge on the bully. • Avoiding friends and activities. • Cyberbullying back. Some teens feel threatened because they may not know who is cyberbullying them. Although cyberbullies may think they are anonymous, they can be found. If you are cyberbullied or harassed and need help, save all communication with the cyberbully and talk to a parent, teacher, law enforcement officer, or other adult you trust. How Can I Prevent Cyberbullying? Teens have figured out ways to prevent cyberbullying. Follow in the footsteps of other quick-thinking teens and: • Refuse to pass along cyberbullying messages. • Tell friends to stop cyberbullying. • Block communication with cyberbullies. • Report cyberbullying to a trusted adult. Issue 30.19 of The Weekly Update August 19, 2019 You can also help prevent cyberbullying by: • Speaking with other students, as well as teachers and school administrators, to develop rules against cyberbullying. • Raising awareness of the cyberbullying problem in your community by holding an assembly and creating fliers to give to younger kids or parents. • Sharing NCPC's anti-cyberbullying message with friends. Don't forget that even though you can't see a cyberbully or the bully's victim, cyberbullying causes real problems. If you wouldn't say it in person, don't say it online. Delete cyberbullying. Don't write it. Don't forward it. What Else Can I do to Stay Cyber-safe? Remember that the internet is accessed by millions of people all over the world, not just your friends and family.
