Discussion ensued regarding funding for the Center Street Project from either the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) or a combination of ARPA and a Department of Environmental Protection Agency Grant should the City receive it, construction can proceed without waiting on the Grant, and the benefits of a possible stormwater pond, which the property owner and the City could work together on.

Members of the audience discussed the Project including the importance of public restrooms, pickleball and tennis court needs, traffic safety and a suggestion for barriers along State Road A1A, suggestions for more parking and shade, and the impact the Project will have on the City's trees. Discussion continued regarding the issues brought up by audience members, how the stormwater portion of the Project will slow down relief for tennis and pickleball players, using funds for stormwater projects elsewhere in the City, approaching the Project in a step-by-step process, constituent desires in the Visioning, other ideas for amenities such as a volleyball court, re - purposing some of the buildings at the Nancy Hanson Recreation Complex, preservation of the mural, concerns over impacts to Staff and maintenance costs moving tennis or pickleball courts City of Cape Canaveral, Florida City Council Workshop Meeting • January 7, 2023 Minutes • Page 3 of 3 to Manatee Sanctuary or Banana River Parks, ideas to re -purpose the racquetball and shuffleboard courts, and next steps.

Please review the sender's address. Report any suspicious mail by using the Phishalert button in Outlook. If that is not possible forward the suspicious mail to phishalert@cityofcapecanaveral.org Dear Mayor Wes, I've visited the "promenade" area a couple times to get a feel for what residents use the nearby areas for and what might be a good fit for the future. I saw lots of people strolling, biking, visiting the dog park and parking, perhaps to walk to the Hansen Center. There is quite a bit of traffic noise right there, at the promenade and the perimeter has just the half dozen or so mature trees (oaks, seagrape and palms). I'm not sure of the construction of the storm vaults, but if they are similar to what is under the old softball field, the absence of trees is good. Perhaps the promenade would be a good location for those. I have two suggestions for the promenade; a gravel exercise path with native plants or a skate park. Both well lit with fun colored lighting and downward pointing lights. I'm still tender about the damage and eventual removal of the specimen oak at the community center, but I am hopeful any plan will protect what are 40+ year old trees. 1 Thanks for asking for my input. Thank you for all you do for our community! Ginny Dirschka Attached...my 4yo grandson skateboarding in the city! Florida has a very broad public records law.

If that is not possible forward the suspicious mail to phishalert@cityofcapecanaveral.org Mayor Morrison, I may not be able to attend but I have a few thoughts on the Civic Hub project. 1. Safety - IMO this is a dangerous area for groups of people to gather. It is located at a hazardous portion of SR A1A. I can only imagine the horror of having a vehicle vs a large crowd of people accident. Please do not incorporate an area for a large gathering of people. 2. Road Closure - I do support the partial closure of Taylor Ave. Remember that parking in that area is needed for dog park patrons, racquetball court users, and the Nancy Rec Center users. 3. Landscaping - The area that faces SR A1A should be landscaped with trees/bushes that can act as a barrier to sound from vehicle traffic.

Make it like "Pictona" in Daytona. We need more courts because the courts inside the Community Center and the courts outside at Nancy Hansen are not enough.
