Agenda Item Summary
Item No. 2
Subject: Resolution No. 2020-06; vacating a portion of an existing utility easement existing on Lot
1, Key Shore, according to the plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 31, page 33 of the Public
Records of Brevard County, Florida, as more particularly described herein within the City of Cape
Canaveral; providing for the repeal of prior inconsistent resolutions, recording, severability and an
effective date.
Department: Community Development
Summary: John Kristmann, owner of property with an address of 299 Chandler Street (Attachment
1), has requested the City vacate a portion of an existing City utility easement to allow for a 264
square foot screen room proposed to be added onto his residence.
The subject parcel is uniquely situated in that it has street frontage on three (3) sides (north, west
and east), resulting a significantly reduced building envelope once building setbacks are applied.
Furthermore, a City Utility Easement lies immediately east of the residential structure, further
reducing the buildable area. Permanent structures, such as the proposed screen room, are
prohibited in an easement of this nature.
In order to allow for the proposed addition, a portion of the City Utility Easement must be vacated.
To this end, the City Attorney's Office has prepared Resolution No. 2020-06 (Attachment 2). The
subject vacation has been reviewed by the Public Works Services Department and City Engineer
(Attachments 3 and 4), both of which have no objections to the request. There are no public utilities
in the area proposed to be vacated.
The proposed vacation will not effect in any way the remaining property covered by the utility
easement, which shall remain in full force and effect. If adopted, Staff will record Resolution No.
2020-06 in the Official Records of Brevard County.

Agenda Item Summary
Item No. 4
Subject: Approve the addition of one (1) more firefighter to each of the three first responding
vehicles per shift, providing for a total addition of nine (9) members to Canaveral Fire Rescue (CFR).
Department: Canaveral Fire Rescue
Summary: CFR operates out of three stations. Two are located at Port Canaveral and one in the
City. The Port South station is responsible for the first run coverage from Central North and the
South side of the Port. All three stations respond together for any fire calls no matter the location.
In 2008, the call volume was 1926 with 1327 in the City 423 in the Port 120 in Avon by the Sea
(unincorporated) and 56 Mutual Aid. In 2019, the call volume was 2781 with 1839 in the City, 733 in
the Port, 131 in Avon by the Sea and 78 Mutual/Auto Aid.
History:
• The City last funded additional members in 2008 when CFR received a Grant from FEMA to add
three (3) more members (one per shift).
• The Port added additional staffing in 2014 when Station 54 opened, adding three (3) more
members (one per shift). The Port continues to pay for these additional three (3) members.
Current Situation:
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1710 5.2.3.1.1 requires engines be staffed with a
minimum of four (4) on -duty members.
• NFPA 1710 5.2.3.2.1 requires ladder trucks be staffed with a minimum of four (4) on -duty members.
• Current staffing assigned to our engines and ladder is three (3) members.
• CFR has applied for the same FEMA Grant for the last two years and has been turned down both
times.
• During vacation and sick time, the ladder truck Is staffed with three (3) members, but the engines
reduce to two (2) members.
Future:
The new staffing will ensure CFR complies with current requirements and the ladder truck remains
staffed with four (4) members at all times and the engines will have four (4) members, three (3) if
subject to vacation and sick time. Cocoa, Rockledge, Titusville, Melbourne and Brevard County
follow this staffing pattern, with some deviations. CFR will add three (3) members in April, three (3)
in July and the remaining three (3) in October. The addition of these members will increase the
safety of our citizens and firefighters and give us added points for our Insurance Service Office
rating.
A conforming Resolution Contract Addendum will be forwarded to City Council at the next meeting.

Dear Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Applicant:
On behalf of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Grant Programs
Directorate, I wish to thank you for applying for assistance under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018
Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Program. After thorough
review and consideration, we are unable to fund your application. We regret that the news
could not be more positive.
As you are aware, the SAFER Program is among the Department of Homeland Security's
(DHS) and FEMA's most competitive grant programs. In FY 2018, FEMA received over 900
SAFER applications, requesting more than $676 million in federal assistance. The large
number of applications received, and the finite amount of available funding, resulted in many
worthy appli cants not being funded and underscores the highly competitive nature of this
program.
Given the high number of applications received, we are unable to provide a detailed account of
how each individual application was rated in the competitive process. However, we are
hopeful that you will apply again for a FY 2019 SAFER award, and strongly encourage you to
do so. Resources will be available online to assist applicants with the preparation of a
competitive application. The resources, along with the FY 2019 SAFER Notice of Funding
Opportunity, will be available in early 2020 on the AFGP grant web site
www.fema.gov/firegrants.
Your interest in the SAFER Grant Program reminds us that America's fire service
organizations continue to have great need for support. FEMA and DHS will continue to work
closely with and support the Nation's first responders and their vital work. Thank you again
for your dedication and commitment.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PURCHASE ORDER NO. 18087
CONSTRUCTION PHASE ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE WRF PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City retained the professional services of Tetra Tech, Inc. to evaluate potential events or conditions
that may have played a role and developing recommended improvements to prevent future permit
exceedance violations for TN and TP. The findings were summarized and submitted to FDEP in accordance
with the Consent Order. FDEP has accepted the recommendations prepared by Tetra Tech, and the City
has requested professional engineering services associated with implementing the following
recommendations:
• Carbon (Micro C) Feed Improvements: Improvements include the construction of a pre-engineered
canopy, a bulk storage tank, chemical feed pumps and skid, and all related valves, piping, and
electrical modifications
• Nutrient Probe Improvements: Improvements include the addition of nutrient monitoring upstream
of the headworks (ammonia), in the first anoxic zone (nitrate), in the second anoxic (ammonia and
nitrate), and the reaeration zone (nitrate).
• RAS Flow Meter Improvements: Improvements include removing and replacing the 8-inch RAS
flow meter.
• IR Pump Flow Meter Improvements: Improvements include adding a new above grade 16-inch flow
meter, valves, pipe and fittings on the discharge of the IR pumps, in addition to the installation of
IR Pump VFDs and associated electrical and control system modifications.
• Instrumentation and Control Improvements: Improvements include a new control panel,
programming of new PLC control logic, network upgrades, and SCADA additions and modifications
to integrate the above process improvements.
As previously conveyed to the City, the above -mentioned improvements will help operators with online
monitoring of recycle flow rates & nitrogen levels at various treatment steps and provide some nitrogen
trimming ability in the effluent. However, if a highly concentrated slug nutrient discharge (higher than the
WRF's designed treatment capacity) occurs in the collection system, it will not be fully treated by this WRF.
Tetra Tech completed final design for the above recommendations. The bidding is currently underway.
This scope will continue our assistance during the construction phase of the project.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following specific tasks will be performed under the Scope of Services. Certain assumptions have

City Council Meeting - April 21, 2020
Agenda Item Summary
Item No. 6
Subject: Award the bid for rehabilitation of the Intermediate Lift Station at the Water Reclamation
Facility to EE&G Construction & Electrical, LLC in the amount of $411,585 and authorize Interim City
Manager to execute Construction Agreement for same.
Department: Capital Projects
Summary: Staff invited qualified licensed contractors, in accordance with the City's Purchasing
Policy and Florida Statutes, to submit a bid for rehabilitation of the Intermediate Lift Station at the
Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). EE&G Construction & Electrical, LLC (EE&G) of Miami Lakes,
Florida submitted the lowest bid ($411,585).
Project Description: Following secondary treatment, partially -treated wastewater flows to the
Intermediate Lift Station which consists of a small wet well with five submersible sewage pumps.
The two lead pumps have variable frequency drives (VFDs) while the remaining fixed speed pumps
serve as lag pumps. In the past few years there have been at least six instances of substantial spills
at the WRF due to the malfunction of this lift station. The malfunctions typically occurred after a
power failure since the pump control system is not able to re -start the pumps after the power has
been restored or switched to the backup generator.
When this lift station is operational, the operators do not have confirmation that the lift station is
activated via the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. During power outages
or interruptions, this lift station is subject to deactivation, causing conveyance to stop and the lift
station to fill and overflow. To correct these issues, this project includes the installation of a new
diesel engine driven bypass pump, not connected to the existing control system for the existing
pumps. The bypass pump would operate if the existing pumps do not start and upon reaching a
high level within the wet well which will not be replaced. Completion of this project will provide
critical redundancy in the wastewater treatment process and is the second of eight infrastructure
improvement projects to be constructed under the City's newest SRF Loan.
Firm Selection Process: Staff advertised the bid on January 30, 2020 by posting (1) a legal ad in
the Florida Today newspaper, (2) a notice on the City web page and (3) bid information on
Demandstar (Internet bid service). A "Bid Submittal" notation was included which stated the
Contract would be awarded pursuant to the requirements of applicable State and Federal laws and
regulations. A pre -bid meeting was not held for the project; potential bidders were encouraged to
visit the project construction area.
Four contractors submitted sealed bids for the project which were publicly opened in City Hall
Conference Room A on March 4, 2020 (Attachment 1). Upon review of the submitted bids, Staff and
the City's consulting engineer recommend the bid be awarded to EE&G with a bid amount of
$411,585. A proposed Construction Agreement with EE&G is included as Attachment 2.

City Council Meeting - April 21, 2020
Agenda Item Summary
Item No. 7
Subject: Award the Bid for replacement of Lift Station No. 3 to Utility Technicians, Inc. in the
amount of $436,430.76 and authorize Interim City Manager to execute Construction Agreement for
same.
Department: Capital Projects
Summary: Staff invited qualified licensed contractors, in accordance with the City's Purchasing
Policy and Florida Statutes, to submit a bid for replacement of Lift Station No. 3, located along West
Central Boulevard at the Central Ditch. Utility Technicians, Inc. of Umatilla, Florida submitted the
lowest bid ($436,430.76).
Project Description: Lift Station No. 3 is located along West Central Boulevard at the Central Ditch
near the intersection with Oak Manor Drive. Sewage from the entire northeastern portion of the
City flows to this lift station which has reached its useful life due to corrosion from the salt air
environment and wastewater gases. The lift station has also been subject to increased maintenance
and operational issues including problems with the pumps seating with the discharge piping. A
recent force main improvement project (Force Main No. 3) replaced the force main downstream of
the existing lift station valve vault.
This project involves the complete removal and replacement of the lift station with the exception
of the wet well which will (1) have all interior components replaced and (2) be spray -coated to
eliminate groundwater infiltration. A new lift station at this location will have an estimated useful
life of at least 25 years less potential pump and electrical equipment renewal and replacement. The
improvements will reduce required maintenance and reduce the likelihood of potential failure and
overflow into the Central Ditch. No substantial future changes in receiving flows are projected due
to the lift station's service area currently being nearly built out. Completion of this project, along
with the previous replacement of Force Main No. 3, is part of the City's Capital Improvement Plan
to replace aging sanitary sewer infrastructure. Other lift stations to be replaced in the near future
include Lift Station Nos. 5 and 8. The replacement of Lift Station No. 3 is the third of eight
infrastructure improvement projects to be constructed under the City's latest SRF Loan.
Firm Selection Process: Staff advertised the bid on January 30, 2020 by posting (1) a legal ad in
the Florida Today newspaper, (2) a notice on the City web page and (3) bid information on
Demandstar (Internet bid service). A "Bid Submittal" notation was included which stated the
Contract would be awarded pursuant to the requirements of applicable State and Federal laws and
regulations. A pre -bid meeting was not held for the project; potential bidders were encouraged to
visit the project construction area.
Three contractors submitted sealed bids for the Project which were publicly opened in City Hall
Conference Room A on March 5, 2020 (Attachment 1). Upon review of the submitted bids, Staff and
the City's consulting engineer recommend the bid be awarded to UTI with a bid amount of
$436,430.76. A proposed Construction Agreement with UTI is included as Attachment 2.

Agenda Item Summary
Item No. 8
Subject: Approve request for a 90-day extension to the Holiday Inn Club Vacations Cape Canaveral
Beach Resort (formerly known as Cape Caribe) Binding Developer's Agreement between the City
and Holiday Inn Club Vacations Incorporated.
Department: Community Development
Summary: With an effective date of April 22, 2010, the City entered into a Binding Developer's
Agreement (BDA) with the current owner's predecessor, Cape Caribe, Inc., for the development of
a hotel/resort condominium project located at 1000 Shorewood Drive. The BDA was amended on
January 18, 2012 and again on January 21, 2014 to reflect changes to the project's configuration
and timelines.
The project includes 8 buildings containing 600 hotel and resort condominium units. As outlined in
Section 10 of the BDA as amended, the development of the five (5) unconstructed remaining
buildings is to be completed over five (5) phases, with a deadline for submittal of a building permit
application for each unconstructed building as indicated below:
• 1st Building - April 22, 2015 (completed)
• 2nd Building - April 22, 2020
• 3rd Building - April 22, 2025
• 4th Building - April 22, 2030
• 5th Building - April 22, 2035
The Parties are currently negotiating a third modification to the BDA to present to the City Council
for consideration which potentially may change the site plan for the western most vacant portion
of the Property and the phased development schedule under Section 10.0 of the BDA for the
unconstructed Remaining Buildings. However, due to the COVID-19 Emergency, the third
modification has been delayed and cannot be completed prior to the April 22, 2020 deadline.
In order to provide additional time to complete the third modification to the BDA, the City Attorney
has drafted an agreement that provides an extension of 90-days, ending July 22, 2020, unless
otherwise agreed in writing. The proposed extension is for the sole purpose of extending the
development schedule time period to file building permits to construct the second of the
unconstructed remaining buildings. All other deadlines contained in the BDA remain unchanged.

City Council Meeting - April 21, 2020
Agenda Item Summary
Item No. 9
Subject: Ordinance No. 02-2020; amending Chapter 26 — Elections, of the Code of Ordinances;
changing the qualifying period for candidates for the offices of Mayor and City Council to be
consistent with the requirements of the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections; providing for the
repeal of prior inconsistent ordinances and resolutions, incorporation into the Code, severability
and an effective date, second reading.
Department: City Clerk's Office
Summary: The Brevard County Supervisor of Elections, on behalf of the City of Cape Canaveral and
all other cities/towns in Brevard County, conducts municipal elections. On July 15, 2019, Brevard
County Supervisor of Elections (BCSOE) Lori Scott requested all cities/towns adjust their qualifying
dates for the period to end 78 days prior to the date of an election, allowing time for ballot
processing. Due to the timing, the City had to operate under an extremely tight timeframe to
accommodate this request.
The City Council convened a Regular Meeting on August 6, 2019 and approved Ordinance No.
14-2019, an Emergency Ordinance, to adjust the Qualifying Period for the 2019 City Election, per
BCSOE's request. The incorporated recitals of the Emergency Ordinance also stated an intent to
amend the qualifying period permanently prior to May 17, 2020. Emergency ordinances do not
require a second reading and, for that reason, can only authorize a temporary action. A standard,
two -reading ordinance is required to amend City Code permanently.
Ordinance No. 02-2020 (Attached) amends City Code to adjust the Qualifying Period for 2020 and
beyond. If adopted, the Qualifying Period for the 2020 City Election will run from Monday, August
3, 2020 at 12:00 noon to Friday, August 14, 2020 at 12:00 noon. This will allow ample time to provide
candidate information to BCSOE by their requested deadline.
The new Qualifying Period, established in the proposed Ordinance, spans ten business days, rather
than the current eleven business days. This adjustment keeps the official qualifying entirely within
the month of August, streamlining the process with consistent financial reporting for all candidates
and will also be more efficient, by beginning the Qualifying Period at the beginning (Monday) of
one week, and ending it at the end (Friday) of the following week.
This adjustment does not preclude a potential candidate's desire to campaign before officially
qualifying to run. All City residents who are registered voters may announce intentions to run for
office at any time prior to an official Qualifying Period, as long as the Statement of Campaign
Treasurer and Designation of Campaign Depository (Form DS-DE 9) and Statement of Candidate
(Form DS-DE 84) are filed with the City Clerk, the Qualifying Officer. Form DS-DE 9 must be filed
prior to opening a campaign account.
The Notice of Hearing was placed for advertisement in Florida Today on March 5, 2020 and the
Ordinance is presented for second reading and final adoption.
For more information regarding City elections, please contact the City Clerk's Office.
