The Special Meeting of May 8th generated discussion about how the meeting came together and who called it. It was not
clear to me that the meeting was in compliance with our ordinance:
Sec. 2-57. - Special meetings.
(a)
A special meeting of the city council may be initiated by any of the following means:
(1)
By an affirmative vote of a majority of the city council pursuant to the Charter, article II, section 2.11.
(2)
By serving the city manager or the city clerk notice in writing and signed by a majority of the city council. The clerk shall
immediately give verbal or written notice to each member of the council, stating the date and hour of the meeting and
the purpose for which such meeting is called, and no other business shall be enacted at that meeting. The clerk in the
notice of a special meeting initiated in this manner shall allow at least 24 hours to elapse between the call of the
meeting and the date and hour of the meeting. Notice shall be posted at City Hall and on the city website.
(3)
By verbal notice to the city clerk or the city manager by a majority of the city council whenever an emergency exists
which requires immediate action by the council. The clerk shall immediately attempt to give notice to each member of
the council stating the hour of the meeting and the purpose for which such meeting is called, and no other business shall
be enacted at that meeting. If, after reasonable diligence, it is impossible to give notice to each councilmember, such
failure shall not affect the legality of the meeting.
(b)
All special meetings shall be held in the City Hall or such other place as designated by a majority of the council in open

Statement for Public Comment During 6/16 Cape Canaveral City Commission Meeting:
Dear Mayor Hoog and Commissioners,
My name is Eric Ross, and I live at 5323 NW 119th Terrace, Coral Springs, FL 33076. I am reaching out to you on
behalf of ADL, the Anti -Defamation League, where I work full-time as a Senior Associate Regional Director.
I would like to thank you for adding Item 3 to the consent agenda for this meeting, and I strongly urge all of you
to vote in favor of it.
We are living in unprecedented times. We may all be stuck at home, but unfortunately that means hatred is
being left un-checked in all too many places. While your news feeds may be filled with updates on the number
of Coronavirus infections, what you aren't hearing much about is the massive attempt by extremists to place
blame for this pandemic specifically on the Asian -American and Jewish communities. Clearly, there is no room
for hate against anyone in any of our communities, but at this moment in time, we are only seeing two specific
groups singled out for blame over and over again within extremist communities and especially online.
This resolution will tell the whole country that Cape Canaveral is firmly opposed to using Covid-19-related hate
to victimize, to discriminate, or to demean any member of your community. If passed, you will be among the
first in Florida to take this important stand, and I would like to thank you in advance for your leadership in doing
so.
Sincerely,
Eric Ross

I moved form Baltimore to Cape Canaveral in 1991, I have been a Cape Canaveral resident, property
owner and tax payer for thirty (30) years.
For many years, I have walked my family dogs around the Canaveral City & Sandpiper Parks. After
retiring eight (8) years ago, I stroll the perimeter sidewalks of these Parks several times per day.
I have been picking up trash and debris, reporting safety issues, alerting authorities when I observe
evidence of vandalism and/or criminal activity. Recently, the magnitude of trash & debris not being
address by the City of Cape Canaveral has increased dramatically.
On many occasions, I have observed City Maintenance Workers failing to identify and take immediate
action to mitigate safety issues, alleviate trash accumulation and monitor the performance of City
Contractors provide waste removal services.
I tied unsuccessfully to work with Gustavo Vergara, the City's Leisure Services Director, to improve his
staff's performance.
After offering to share my observations on Social Media in order to help Mr. Vergara to acquire
additional resources and support. The interim City Manager, scheduled a meeting held on Thursday,
13Feb20. At that meeting, I provided Mr. Morley with a list of issues not being addressed by Mr.
Vergara's staff and provided suggestions for possible solutions.
I expected Mr. Morley to offer his support and take action to realign Mr. Vergara's priorities, ultimately
improving his staff's performance related to keeping the City Parks free of trash & debris. And, without
question, elevate their ability to identify and mitigate safety issues impacting City workers, residents and
visitors to the Parks.
To my surprise, Mr. Morley stated that he and Mr. Vergara felt threatened by me, as a result of the
evidence that I compiled, documenting their staff's poor performance. Also, Mr. Morley clearly
expressed that they (and the City) were fearful of negative Social Media exposure. For months following
this meeting, Mr. Vergara's staff failed to improve their behavior until only recently after I once again,
suggested using Social Media to inspire change.
I think Mr. Morley is a good person but his outward close relationship with his subordinates is negatively
impacting his efficacy as a manager.
As a result of my experience interacting with Mr. Morley to accomplish what should be considered a
simple task, keeping City Parks clean and safe. I highly recommend that the City Council consider other
applicants for the City Manager's position.

We are writing in on the decision about the hiring of a new city manager. We think it would be in the best
interest of the city to hire a recruiting firm and find us the best person available. We were at the meeting
when the mayor wanted to slide Todd Morley in as the new "city manager" because Todd already worked for
us. I do believe Mr Morley would be able to apply as well to the recruiting firm if he would like the position. If
Mr Morley is the best candidate for the position and he gets hired by this firm then it won't look like a "back
door deal" set up by the Mayor and his council. And everything will be on the up and up. This is a very good
paying position and I think that the taxpayers of the city are at least entitled to the best person qualified for the
job. The most qualified with the most experience. We won't know who this would be unless we look. The Mayor
had mentioned in the public meeting that he did not want to "waste" thousands of dollars on a recruiting firm
and that he thought Todd was the best person for the job. That was the Mayors opinion. This is not wasting the
TAXPAYERS dollars. In the end if you get the best person for the job it will be well worth the money spent. And
if it's Mr Morley the firm picks, then so be it. Its a decision that was made from the outside. Spend the money.
Be legit. Be above board. Hire the recruiter. Let them decide who's the best hire.
Thank You for your time.

Honorable Mayor & City Council,
I am unable to attend tonight's meeting, however I would like to provide some
comments regarding hiring the next city manager for the City Of Cape Canaveral.
The separation agreement the City executed with the former city manager David Greene
was done in a way that upset a lot of citizens, myself included, because the City did not
properly notify the citizens and rushed the decision which did not allow for further public
comment.
I would highly recommend the City use an executive recruiting consulting firm to look at
other candidates which the current interim city manager would have an opportunity to
apply for as well, so the City will not be at risk of not following the best process in hiring
a city manager in the same way of not following the process in separating from the last
city manager.
Hiring the city manager is going to be the most important decision the City will vote on
as a counsel and the operational/financial risk of not making the right choice could be
detrimental to the future of our city. Citizens deserve the highest level of due diligence.
Thank you.

As a voting citizen of Cape Canaveral, I insist on the publicizing of the City Managers' position.
Our city deserves to have the most qualified person not the most convenient person in this important
position. Our city deserves to have a person who is "chosen on the basis of executive and
administrative qualifications" as stated in our City Charter.
Also, the requirement to live within our city limits is important to the overall success of the city
manager position. Working in the city "Taj Mahal" is not the same as living in our city.
Please vote to publicly announce the vacancy of City Manger.
Sincerely
Linda Hagen

Whenever one is going to spend a good deal of money, whether on new appliances, a new vehicle or installing
hurricane shutters, most people want at least two and preferable three options or bids. The City should be no
different. A salary of $160,000 is a LOT of salary, especially to a tiny city such as ours. It seems a good number
of viable candidates might be interested in a position such as this. We would sell ourselves short if we did not
see what interest advertising this position would garner and be able to look among interested candidates to
find the best fit for the city. It might be our interim manager. It might not. But we owe it to ourselves to see
what potential is out there.
Thank you for your consideration.

As a year round resident and career HR professional I encourage the City Council to conduct a recruiting effort
to fill the City Manager role.
There are many good professional recruiters that can conduct this search on a per hour basis rather than a
percentage of the first year's compensation. This can cut recruiting costs by as much as 80%.
Thanks for your consideration.

Kathy Scott

I believe it would be in the best interest to choice OPTION 2: Conduct an employment search to

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of Cape Canaveral:
> We understand that a decision is pending regarding the hiring process of the next city manager. Upon
discussion by our condo community, we firmly believe that a search firm be engaged to put forth the best
candidates for the job, rather than simply handing the position to the "heir apparent." Certainly, the cream will
rise to the top, and the interim city manager may be one of those. But we won't know if we don't put out our
feelers and if an executive search is not conducted.
> With the job market what it is, surely there will be many outstanding candidates capable of serving the city
and our elected officials in the capacity as city manager. Competition is a good thing, just as we prefer the city
obtain competitive bids for tax payer funded projects. This is no different. There certainly should be a due
diligence process of hiring for the position as important as this one. The City Manager can have a very big
impact in so many ways, and it's important that the hiring process be taken seriously, a process in place for
doing so, and not be a quick fix. The citizens of Cape Canaveral deserve as much. We would appreciate your
consideration of our request.

Hello,
I am a permanent resident of cape canaveral and as such I would like the opportunity for fresh eyes. This is a
coveted position and for too long people in these types of positions are too comfortable and don't accomplish
very much. I would like to see improvement, change, diversity and new ideas. Not the same old people kicking
their feet up and doing the same old things. Collecting checks for doing the bare minimum.
It's time to grow outside of our comfort zones. I am a 47 year old woman who still works and would like to see
my local government reflect the needs and concerns of the entire community.
Thank you,

City Council,
Would like to convey my opinion that the City Manager position be advertised publicly or utilize a professional recruiting
service. How would you know if the correct person was hired for this vital position without reviewing numerous resumes
and comparing them? Was rather shocked to learn this process was not started some 8 or 9 months ago when the interim
position was appointed. Encourage the Interim City Manager to apply as well but would hate to think this position was
filled by a "good ole boy network" within city government. Thank you for your time.

Honorable Mayor & City Council,
#1 FILLING THE CITY MANAGER POSITION
I would like to pass on my concern and opinion on the issue of hiring a permanent city
manager. We all are aware that this position is extremely important and the city must make
certain that they are getting the best person for the job. As with any business considering
fulfilling such an important, the position would be advertised and the city will conduct an
employment search. Granted, this will require some capital and time from the city staff, but as
citizens, we deserve the highest degree of talent. Therefore, of the two options being
presented, I overwhelmingly favor option #2: CONDUCT AN EMPLOYMENT SEARCH.
#2 SPEED LIMIT SIGNS
I would like to thank the city for installing an ALL WAY STOP at the intersection of Madison Ave
and Magnolia Ave. As you know, a presentation of the traffic problem was presented in a
previous council meeting along with 100 signatures. This is a partial solution. The city made a
comment at this meeting that a traffic study needs to be made city wide, especially the
presidential streets. I have polled the neighbors in the 300 block of Madison Ave and we are
pleading with the city to add speed limit signs as there are none at this time in the 300 block.
Additionally it would be prudent to install signs indicating children, bicycles and pedestrians
are. As has been done on other presidential streets where speeding traffic is an ongoing
problem install a speed HUMP (gradual hump) placed near the middle of the 300 block.
Warmest regards and thank you for your service,
Gary S. Wienand

Honorable Mayor & City Council,
I understand Council is considering the City Manager position at the Council meeting this evening.
Todd is to be commended for the excellent job he has been doing during the transition period immediately
following the prior City Manager.
At this time, I believe the Council, City, Staff, and residents would benefit greatly from an external search based
on clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and expectations of the new City Manager. This would enable Todd to
apply in that context with other interested candidates, providing the City the opportunity to consider
candidates with a variety of perspectives and a wealth of expertise and experience to contribute to the City. To
know we have made this concerted effort to reach outwards and learn from external sources and possibilities
before us as it relates to this key leadership position can only help the City plan forward more effectively for a
positive and progressive future.
Best regards,
Shannon

Please acknowledge this email and read it into the public record.
My name is Bill Kehoe and I live at 204 Holman Road, unit 2 in Cape Canaveral. I am writing today to express my support
for hiring an Executive search firm to identify the best possible candidate for the open City Manager position. In the
interest of transparency, it is imperative that this Counsel ensures the citizens of Cape Canaveral that they made a
diligent search for a new City Manager. This is why an executive search firm should be utilized. If the interim City
Manager has an interest in the position, he should apply. If it determined that he is the best candidate for the job, then
offer the job to him. If he is not the best candidate, the process worked in the manner in which it was designed to
work. This Counsel can not afford to make an ill informed decision as important as selecting a new City Manager without
knowing that a diligent search for the best candidate was undertaken. The City of Cape Canaveral's future direction is in
the balance.

with regarding request for "Head Hunters" , where verbal, no records, are Dr. Tom Freijo and Wm. Redman." Mr. Freijo
has executive recruiter credentials Redman does not.
I would like to know what criteria Mr. Freijo evaluated to determine there is no one better out there.
I also would like the City to use an executive recruiting firm to search for candidates using at least a well defined set of
requirements, expectations, vision for the City and essential functions.
Email summaries
Results, 6 emails
Email 1 I believe you owe the citizens of Cape Canaveral a search of qualified candidates. It does not need to be a
nation-wide search. It would probably make more sense to limit the search to the State of Florida or, at the most, the
Southeastern part of the country.
Email 2 : for other positions in the city government you advertise the opening, collect applications, rate them and
interview the best applicants before making a job offer. Why would you choose to do otherwise for the most important
hiring action with some of the most significant potential consequences that it is possible for a city council to take?
Email 3 The city needs to drop the interim city manager title and replace it with. CITY MANAGER - Todd Morley.
Email 4 Todd Morley deserves the job as City Manager of Cape Canaveral. He has done the job very well and should be
placed in the job.
Email 5 highly recommend that the City Council strongly considers Todd Morley for the permanent position of City
Manager.
Email 6 no reference to permanent city manager

Honorable Mayor & City Council,
A thorough employment search should be conducted to hire our next city manager. This is a critical decision
for our future and I'm sure the acting manager will be considered for the position as well as other qualified
candidates.
Insuring a fair process is utilized is important in our highly polarized political environment.

Subject: 4 PM DEADLINE on City Manager Vote
Patricia,
hope all is we We have a pm g2 IIIJg
to submit a short public comment email
regarding a crucial issue today and I am asking for your help. The agenda item gives us two
options on hiring our next City Manager which will be discussed tonight at 6:00 pm.
Hiring a City Manager is the most important decision we will vote on as a Council and
not making the right choice could be detrimental to the future of our city. The City Manager is
essentially the CEO of our city who is in charge of the entire staff and administration.
Previously, this position held a salary of approximately $160,000/year + benefits.
Tonight, we will have two options:
41
OPTION 1: Appoint our current Interim (Acting) City Manager to Permanent City
Manager, which will result in drafting a contract to be executed at a future meeting.
OR
OPTION 2: Conduct an employment search to consider other candidates. The current
Interim City Manager would have an opportunity to apply if we went this route, as well.
To date, this position has not been advertised publicly.
MY POSITION is that we slhdull4d OIhoo00 PTO IN 2 to conduct ui clll°iu� to
� a ui�� 0 uiru illl o uiruc iq� � sca
ensure that we have taken all of the proper procurement processes in making a
decision. I believe it is imperative to follow a similar process just like we do if we are going to
take on a capital expenditure like hiring a lawn service contractor. In my opinion, you as a
citizen deserve the highest level of due diligence.
Opponents of this have argued that a search will cost money depending on the method of
search used. While that is true, I believe it is worth the investment. While we may have
personal feelings that the current interim City Manager is the right choice I believe this
position is too critical to not look at all other options before coming to a decision.
You may have heard me say this many times before. I am all about the process and IIL....hope

email that you can customize with your thoughts on how this process should be conducted or

Honorable Mayor & City Council,
I appreciate the thoughtful consideration and efforts each of you have put into the selection of your next city
manager. Having worked in Orange County Government for over twenty years, eight of which were as deputy
county administrator, I understand how critical the position of manager is.
It is my understanding that at tonight's meeting you will consider two options on this issue. One option is to
conduct a search for potential candidates and the other option is to select your acting city manager as the new
city manager and negotiate a contract. I would like to encourage you to opt for conducting a search. A search
does not have to be extremely time consuming or expensive. You could, of course, contract a company to
conduct the search for you (which might cost more than what you want to pay) but you could also fairly easily
do such a search in-house - developing your minimum requirements, advertising within the state through the
League of Cities or Florida Association of Counties (easy and inexpensive ways to get the word out), having a
small committee of senior city staff assist HR in selecting candidates and conducting interviews and making
recommendations to the Council.
By conducting a search you may find that there are stellar candidates out there with qualifications/abilities you
never considered. Or you may find that your acting city manager is the best candidate. Either way, at the end
of the process you will know that you got the best person for the job. If the selection turns out to be your
acting city manager, you did not waste time or money because by engaging in the competitive process your
city manager will have proven their qualifications and abilities match or exceed "what's out there". It gives both
the city and the successful applicant the confidence to move the city forward.
I appreciate the opportunity to weigh in on this issue. I am very pleased with the progress of the City of Cape
Canaveral and proud to be a resident.
Best regards,
Linda Weinberg

I am in favor of drafting a contract with the current interim City Manager unless there are concerns that
he is not capable of performing the required duties. Todd has been with the city for many years has held
several positions and appears to have handled them well. I believe the contract offered should not be
long term so the council has the opportunity to make a change if it becomes necessary. The other
alternative of going outside to look for candidates is a long and expensive, one that will probably result in
someone who has already held the position and will not have Todd's insight.

Members of the City Council,
I am writing in support of the city conducting an employment search to consider other candidates for the City
Manager's position. This allows the citizens of Cape Canaveral to ensure we are hiring the most qualified
person for this most powerful position in our city.
The current Interim City Manager would have an opportunity to apply and interview along with all other
candidates.
The job posting needed to be advertised for a period of no less than 14-days to ensure you receive adequate
number of applicants. This approach allows for the city to be free from any type of discrimination lawsuits or
protest of favoritism to current employees.
We the citizens have the right to request such action from our council members.
Thank you for your time

When hiring for any important position, especially a City Manager, the process should include advertising the
open position using ajob placement agency.
From my personal experience in the Aerospace Industry, one excellent source h used was Indeed. The position
description will go to a very large body of people and the screening process makes it fairly easy to narrow your
prospects to ajust a few.
Review of at least at least a few applicant resumes, then selecting a couple of the best prospects for interview is
the proper way to complete this task successfully.

The City of Cape Canaveral is evolving into one of the leading travel destinations in the World, and it
is imperative that the City find a leader that has a cosmopolitan view of this and is able to guide the
growth in a way where it benefits both travelers and residents. I believe that it is in the best interest of
the City to reach out and find someone who is best qualified to handle the unique challenges future
growth will present and lead in ways that preserve the best of Cape Canaveral and focus on
improving what is obvious. I am strongly for the City posting a job opportunity to seek out the best
candidate for the job.

Honorable Mayor & City Council,
Good Evening,
Regarding above subject.
1. For your reference many citizens are dissatisfied/uncomfortable on how the former City Manager performed
his duties, how he was discharged, and his golden parachute.
2. This is nothing against the current Acting City Manager, Mr Morley, but I believe we (the City) should hire
an executive search company for TOTAL TRANSPARENCY.
3. The cost of the executive search agency will less than the other gentleman's supposedly 6 figure golden
parachute.
4. Since many of the City Council members either own a local business or have interests in local businesses -
this will clear any discussion about possible current or future cronyism for the new hire.
5. I encourage Mr Morley to apply - if he is the best person - so be it.
6. The Cape is on the verge of great growth. Let us find the best person for the position.
7. I would also include a relocation package in the proposal - so the new permanent City Manager can live and
enjoy The Space Between.
Thank you
Brad Pervell

I am in favor of Option 2 as well.
An issue I see in Cape Canaveral is we are starting to get panhandlers on the corners, outside stores and by the
beaches. This makes our community look horrible and can effect property values.
I also think the apartments on Caroline St are a constant issue with drug dealing, abuse and an overall
eyesore. I think the city and fire department could handle several of the issues with simple inspections for
safety.
Good Luck Wes ! Thank you for your representation.

Kimberly,
hope all is we We have a iiiim p iiiiq
c to submit a short public comment email
regarding a crucial issue today and I am asking for your help. The agenda item gives us two
options on hiring our next City Manager which will be discussed tonight at 6:00 pm.
Hiring a City Manager is the most important decision we will vote on as a Council and
not making the right choice could be detrimental to the future of our city. The City Manager is
essentially the CEO of our city who is in charge of the entire staff and administration.
Previously, this position held a salary of approximately $160,000/year + benefits.
Tonight, we will have two options:
OPTION 1: Appoint our current Interim (Acting) City Manager to Permanent City
Manager, which will result in drafting a contract to be executed at a future meeting.
OR
OPTION 2: Conduct an employment search to consider other candidates. The current
Interim City Manager would have an opportunity to apply if we went this route, as well.
To date, this position has not been advertised publicly.
MY POSITION is that c I iu�olll choose "III IN 2 to conduct an cuimllllllo uimnt searclh to
ensure that we have taken all of the proper procurement processes in making a
decision. I believe it is imperative to follow a similar process just like we do if we are going to
take on a capital expenditure like hiring a lawn service contractor. In my opinion, you as a
citizen deserve the highest level of due diligence.
Opponents of this have argued that a search will cost money depending on the method of
search used. While that is true, I believe it is worth the investment. While we may have
62
personal feelings that the current interim City Manager is the right choice I believe this
position is too critical to not look at all other options before coming to a decision.
You may have heard me say this many times before. I am all about the process and hope
that you would consider helping communicate how you feel hy cllicking here which will start an
email that you can customize with your thoughts on how this process should be conducted or
voted upon. Just remember it needs to be sent before 4:00 PM and it can be no longer
than 400 words and you can send your email
to °PIA b CC 0 IM ments(cpCityo apeCanay e, ra o rq
Your help is greatly appreciated on this very important issue. Aso, the City Ha w be
opeoh ilf you would rather atterid ioh person and speak on the issue at 6 00 No need
to meet the deadline at 4:00 PM if you are coming to the meeting in person, online webinar or
dialing in by phone. All public participation instructions can be viewed by clkkinalEttg„,,,,,,.
The Council Agenda and details on tonight's meeting (which will be held in -person at City Hall
AND Virtually On GotoWebinar) can be found clicking here.

We must publicize this job position and follow normal hiring procedures, period. If the current "acting" person
is the best choice they will win out.

Employment search for city manager

Honorable Mayor & City Council:
I was present at the meeting that terminated the prior City Manager after his private meeting with the Mayor,
the details of which were not revealed. A search for a replacement was discussed but basically tabled. Without
prejudice to Mr. Morley the equivalent of an RFP should be issued for the position. Given today's technologies
there are alternatives to an expensive recruitment effort. Opening the position to qualified applicants who will
live in our city can only be in the best interests of the residents. I note that the position is not even listed on the
the City's employment website.
Also, it seems odd to me that the Council proposes first appointing someone to a position and then negotiating
the contract. Shouldn't the salary and benefits be first determined and published before filling that position?

Public Comment Statement = I am writing in reference to the possible decision of another back door deal to
hire Todd Morley as the new city manager. In light of the recent debacle concerning the previous city manger
and how that was handled by the city council I implore you to embrace "TRANSPARENCY" for a change! I
suggest that we utilize a recruiting firm and find the possible, experienced candidate to lead this city into the
future. There are many challenges in the future that this city will be facing, and having a proven leader with
some new fresh Ideas will ensure our city to prosper. I would hope Todd Morley would apply for the position
and if selected so be it, at least it would be an open competition and that TRANSPARENCY " thing, instead of
another back door deal from the city council. I do not consider this a waste of money, but an opportunity to
hire the best qualified person to take us into the future.
No more back door deals, spend the money, be above board.
Thank you for allowing me to express my opinion.

The item submitted by Ms Raymond does not pertain to the Code of Conduct. The City Ordinances require meetings be
managed within the scope of Robert's Rules of Order with the Mayor as the presiding officer. Robert's Rules of Order
have well thought out and specific speaking time allotments. The City is obligated to use Roberts Rules of Order, the
Mayor is obligated to manage to it. First do what the Ordinance says and if you feel it needs to be changed do it
properly.
Sec. 2-61. - Parliamentary procedure.
Except as may be provided in the Charter or in this division, questions of order, the methods of organization and the
conduct of business of the council shall be governed by Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised, in all cases to which
such rules are applicable.
(Code 1981, § 271.01)
Sec. 2-62. - Presiding officer.
The presiding officer of the council is the mayor. The council shall annually elect a mayor pro tem at the first regular
meeting after the day of the general city election and the mayor pro tem shall preside over the council in the absence of
the mayor. The mayor shall assume the chair as presiding officer at the next regular meeting after his or her election.
The presiding officer shall preserve strict order and decorum at all meetings of the council. A majority vote of the
members present shall govern and conclusively determine all questions of order if a parliamentary decision by the
presiding officer is challenged.
