to not share courts, building new courts at the Civic Hub, resurfacing old courts, courts for
pickleball at the Community Center, the popularity of and differences between sports, and
removing racquetball courts and shuffleboard to make room for new tennis courts. PRCA Director
Thomas discussed separate program tiers related to different sports, the low demand for
shuffleboard and racquetball which may not currently justify the amount of space they take up,
the revenue that each sport brings in, impacts to shuffleboard usage patterns due to the Covid-
19 Pandemic, and offered to bring back more back data regarding usages. Discussion continued

CIP City funds. The Board gave no direction to Staff.
Discussion turned back to the CRA Incentives Program and whether the CRA Board will be

five percent of the Community Redevelopment Agency Budget, Fiscal Year 2022/23, for CRA
direct mailers to residents and businesses in the Community Redevelopment Area.

JUNE 20, 2023 REGULAR MEETING • ITEM # 2
Subject: Approve the FY 2022/23 CRA Board Meeting Schedule, as amended.
Department: City Clerk's Office
Summary: Florida Statutes outline rules/regulations/timeline for adoption of the annual Budget
for all entities in the State. This is commonly referred to as the Truth in Millage (TRIM) Process. Per
the TRIM Timetable (Attachment 1), which can be found in each City Budget, the City is prohibited
from holding its Public Hearings on the same day as Brevard County Board of County
Commissioners and Brevard County School Board.
This year, the Brevard Board of County Commissioners selected the Tuesdays of September 5, 2023
and September 19, 2023 to hold budget hearings, which conflicts with the City Council's Meeting
Schedule Budget Hearings on September 5, 2023 and September 19, 2023. Due to the TRIM
Timetable and the dates selected by the County and School Board, the City Council will be asked
to reschedule its first and second Budget Hearings to Wednesday, September 6, 2023 and
Wednesday, September 20, 2023, respectively.
For the sake of efficiency and consistency, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board is
also being asked to consider revising its Tuesday, September 19, 2023, Board Meeting to
Wednesday, September 20, 2023 at 5:00 p.m., just prior to this Regular City Council Meeting.
Submitted by: Mia Goforth
