Issue 32.19 of The Weekly Update September 16, 2019 Human Resources / Risk Management Florida Judge Sends a Message to "Prolific Plaintiffs" and their Attorneys Alexander Johnson and his attorney Scott R. Dinin filed hundreds of ADA Title III (Americans with Disabilities Act) lawsuits against multiple public and private sectors claiming Mr. Johnson was denied access to information as a person with a hearing disability. In total, from 2018 to the present, Mr. Johnson was the Plaintiff in 74 federal ADA cases. Attorney Dinin represented Mr. Johnson and others in a total of 428 federal ADA cases since 2018. Websites and gas stations with TV programming on their gas pumps (not closed captioned) were the "go to" targets for Mr. Johnson and Attorney Dinin. "This case reveals an illicit joint enterprise between Plaintiff, Alexander Johnson, and his attorney, Scott R. Dinin of Scott R. Dinin P.A., to dishonestly line their pockets with attorneys' fees from hapless defendants under the sanctimonious guise of serving the interests of the disabled community. Through this illicit joint enterprise, Johnson and Dinin filed numerous frivolous claims, knowingly misrepresented the billable time expended to litigate these claims, made numerous other misrepresentations to the Court, and improperly shared attorneys' fees in violation of the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar, all done without regard to the interests of those with disabilities." U.S. District Judge Paul Huck of the 11th District issued the following in its 21-page Sanctions Order: • Mr. Johnson and his attorney are ordered to surrender all settlements and fees collected in the 26 gas pump cases. • Mr. Johnson must perform 400 hours of community service as he no longer has the money he was awarded. • Attorney Dinin and Mr. Johnson are prohibited from filing state or federal ADA complaints without first obtaining permission from the court. • A complaint was filed against Attorney Dinin with the Florida Bar. • Attorney Dinin is required to file the Sanctions Order in every court in which he filled lawsuits in the last 2 years. Absent any federal regulatory or legislative relief for the targets of "Prolific Plaintiffs" and their Attorneys, the Order suggests that some judges have had enough and those seeking to line their pockets by flooding the courts with ADA Title III claims might want to think twice before doing so. Issue 32.19 of The Weekly Update September 16, 2019 Number of Uninsured Americans Rises for First Time in Decade (Source: Wall Street Journal, Reuters, New York Times.) [Generic graphic.] The number of Americans without health insurance climbed to 27.5 million in 2018, according to federal data that shows the first increase since 2009, before the Affordable Care Act began reducing the ranks of the uninsured. Here's what we know: • The increase follows years of steady declines in the number of uninsured and appears to be driven by a decline in coverage under public health programs such as Medicaid. • The percentage of Americans living in poverty dropped to 11.8 percent, but more of these families lack health insurance. They are earning more, but are now not eligible for Medicare and their employers do not provide affordable healthcare. • The number of uninsured rose by nearly two million people overall, per the Census Bureau, which is about how many fewer people were covered under Medicaid compared with 2017. • The number of people covered by private insurance didn't significantly change. • Median income grew 5.1 percent in 2015 and 3.1 percent in 2016. Median income rose less than 1 percent in 2018. • The decline in health coverage reverses improvements since the Affordable Care Act established new insurance markets and financial assistance for millions of Americans who had previously struggled to obtain insurance. Before the passage of the law, more than 15 percent of Americans lacked coverage. The 27.5 million people without health coverage represents 8.5% of Americans, up from 7.9%, or 25.6 million people in 2017, according to the census data. City Healthcare • Renewal negotiations with Preferred Governmental Insurance Trust (PGIT), provider of the City's property, liability, automobile and Workers' Compensation insurance were favorably concluded. While the City's assets increased by nearly $8 million, due to the City's outstanding comprehensive claims history, renewal rates, locked in for two (2) years, will remain unchanged. Issue 32.19 of The Weekly Update September 16, 2019 • Renewal negotiations for the City's Health, Vision, Dental, Life/LTD concluded favorably. Once again, City employees utilized their benefit plans in the manner intended. 2018/19 Statistics show heavy utilization of preventative services and maintenance medications and zero claims for emergency room visits or catastrophic claims defined as those billed at over $50,000. Fiscal Year 2019/20 premium renewals increases are as follows: o United Health Care Major Medical: 5% increase o United Health Care Vision: 0% increase o Delta Dental: 0% increase o Life/Long Term Disability: 0% increase Let's Have a Big Community Welcome for David Caldwell!

Issue 32.19 of The Weekly Update September 16, 2019 Community Development Planning Small Cell Towers (Verizon Densification Project) Verizon Wireless will locate small cell facilities in various parts of the City (including Harbor Heights and Ridgewood Avenue). Each location will see the installation of a painted metal pole, with an attached equipment cabinet. The poles will vary in height (32-35 ft.), depending on the location and are generally limited to 10 feet above the utility pole or structure where facilities are to be co-located or limited to the tallest existing utility pole as of July 1, 2019. [pictures of examples of small cell poles.] [Caption] Examples of small cell poles. This type of communications infrastructure will be new to the City of Cape Canaveral, so it is important to note that telecommunication/wireless facilities are largely exempt from local (City) zoning regulations due to the Advanced Wireless Infrastructure Deployment Act (CS/HB 687), signed into law in June of 2017, and Charter 2019-131 (SB 1000; effective July 1, 2019). These laws are intended to treat providers of communications services in a non-discriminatory/neutral manner, and provide access to public rights-of-way for the installation of new poles to accommodate broadband infrastructure. Generally, the law prohibits: "municipalities and counties from adopting or enforcing certain ordinances, regulations, or requirements [on communications services]; specifying limitations on municipal and county authority to regulate and manage municipal and county roads or rights-of-way [relating to communications services]. " Additionally, while the law does allow for certain provisions to negotiate alternative placement and design standards, prohibition of new utility poles that otherwise meet the requirements of the law may not occur. With this in mind, it is important to note that Verizon's consultant submitted initial Issue 32.19 of The Weekly Update September 16, 2019 proposed locations and after consulting with City Staff, agreed to negotiate alternative placement and alternative design standards in order to lessen the visual and aesthetic impact on surrounding property owners. As a result, the new proposed location has been moved closer to the tree line and does not block or impede access to public or private property. Additionally, Verizon's consultant has agreed to metal poles that hide related wiring as well as camouflaging that matches the City's existing green solar light color. Visit the City website to see the proposed locations. New City Municipal Software In an effort to improve technology, efficiency, revenues and customer support, the City has transitioned to a new software provider (BS&A) to improve the delivery of public services. With this in mind, please note that while the Community Development Department is transitioning to its new municipal software, applications and permitting services may be temporarily impacted, so please be mindful and patient. If you have questions on how this may impact you, contact City Hall at (321) 868-1220 (Ext. 139). Building • The Building Division conducted 68 inspections and completed 15 plan reviews. The Division also processed 19 new building permits/applications and 22 payments for permits and BTR applications that were picked up. • Prepared for BS&A conversion to new permitting program. Code Enforcement • Issued six (6) Courtesy Letters for property conditions. • Issued nine (9) Notices of Violations. The ABCs of the IPMC and other things relating to Code Enforcement [Graphic of IPMC cover.] 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 back to stay up-to-date and to learn more about the ABCs Issue 32.19 of The Weekly Update September 16, 2019 of the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) and other things relating to Code Enforcement! No Parking on City Streets or Rights-of-Way We want to remind residents and visitors that there is no stopping, standing or parking on/in City streets, rights-of-way or sidewalks. This is important because it helps ensure that emergency responders have access and free movement on City streets. For more information, view Sec. 74-56.5 (stopping, standing or parking in rights-of-way), Sec. 74-58 (authority to establish no parking zones) and Sec. 74-62 (designation of fire lanes) of the City's Code of Ordinances. [Picture of no parking sign.] [Caption] No Parking City Sign referencing Ordinance No. 16-2010. Vegetable Gardening in the City On July 1, 2019, Florida's new bill CS/SB 82: Vegetable Gardens went into effect. The bill prohibits: "a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of the state from regulating vegetable gardens on residential properties. Any local ordinance or regulation regarding vegetable gardens on residential properties is void and unenforceable. However, the bill does not preclude the adoption of a local ordinance or regulations of a general nature that do not specifically regulate vegetable gardens, including, but not limited to, regulations and ordinances relating to water use during drought conditions, fertilizer use, or control of invasive species. " The City of Cape Canaveral supports this bill, as it allows residents to become more engaged in the practice of urban agriculture, improves Community resiliency aligns with the City's sustainability efforts. With that in mind, we'd like to remind residents and property owners of certain sections of the City's Code of Ordinances and the IPMC. • Chapter 91 - Landscape Irrigation • Chapter 92 - Fertilizer Land Application • IPMC Chapter 3 - General Requirements (Exterior Property Maintenance +Pest Management) Issue 32.19 of The Weekly Update September 16, 2019 Community Services Current Projects Please visit the City's Proiects webpage for up-to-date information on City projects.

Grappling with Gnarly Issues ICMA Webinar The Director participated in an International City Managers Association (ICMA) webinar discussing how communities and local governments can/do take action on tough issues, sometimes even when a local government may not be the primary entity responsible. The webinar, part of a larger ICMA Coaching Program Webinar Series, focused on successful efforts by local governments to tackle gnarly issues like environmental challenges, opioids and homelessness. Speaking on the webinar were the County Manager of Lee County, North Carolina, Deputy County Manager from Coconino, Arizona, Assistant to City Manager, Santa Cruz, California and Chief Program Officer, Downtown Streets, California. Key takeaways from the webinar were: • Gnarly issues are getting tougher to solve. • Local governments are getting drawn into issues beyond their scope/sphere of influence. • The number/types of issues are increasing. • Keeping residents/Community engaged and informed are key. • Understanding the desires of elected officials and developing/maintaining a good relationship with elected officials, is important. Memories to Last a Lifetime: Host Families Reflect on the IYEP Visit Six (6) local families made memories that will span the globe and last a lifetime, by welcoming student visitors from Kimotsuki, Japan into their homes. For the second year in a row, the City of Cape Canaveral was chosen to be the host community as part of the International Youth Exchange Program (IYEP) aimed at promoting global diffusion and facilitating English literacy for participating students. The benefits of immersive cultural enrichment programs like this go both ways, and have lasting positive impacts on both the visitors and the communities they visit. For several of our host families, this is their second year welcoming IYEP student visitors and so far the only negative feedback Staff has received is that their visit is too short! These six-day visits are action-packed and the trip's coordinators have activities and excursions planned for the students almost every day of their stay. In their few moments of down-time, host families get to enjoy showing off the best our Community has to offer from enjoying local past times to seeing the Florida sights! With another positive experience in the books, Staff is already looking forward to next year and hopes that more local families will consider taking part! (See Photos—last page.) Issue 32.19 of The Weekly Update September 16, 2019 Hurricane Dorian Social Media — By the Numbers Reliable up-to-date information is no joke when there is a storm event or emergency underway!

Curious about what the reports say about our hard work? The numbers tell a great story: • Website: there were approximately 8,500 unique website visits during the week of Dorian which represents about a 31% uptick from the week before. o The new alert button feature was the number one place clicked for up-to-date information! • Email: Staff sent out 13 "City Update" emails via MailChimp to a list of almost 1,000 subscribers, and over the course of the storm had a gain of 40 new subscribers! • Text: Staff sent out 8 "City Update" text messages via Everbridge (formerly NIXLE) to Community subscribers, gaining 321 new subscribers! • Facebook: The Official City Facebook page reached almost 24,000 users through our 72 Dorian related posts, with over 700 comments and 115 new likes on our Facebook page! • Twitter: The Official City Twitter account grew by 50 unique Dorian related tweets hitting almost 36,000 impressions (which is 18,000 sets of eyes!); not including hundreds of global retweets; the account gained—250 new Twitter followers! • Nextdoor: The Official City Nextdoor account had 20 Dorian related posts, with over 5,800 impressions (which is 2,900 sets of local eyes!). • Staff didn't put down the phone(s) and answered dozens of private/direct messages on all platforms and through email. o Many of the questions were related to sandbags, shelter locations, transportation options, evacuation orders and other previously published information.
