Fire Chief, Dave Sargeant, delivered this portion verbally due to a technical problem
with his presentation.
tat Goal: Replace Fire Department
■ The Fire Department will be applying for stimulus money that should be made
available in June/July and will be used through the assistance of firefighter
grants; there are no guidelines yet.
■ Firefighter grants may still be applied for to obtain things like the smoke removal
system.
■ The Fire Department will try to hire a grant writer through a public entities
assistance corporation and/or to obtain RFP's (Request for Proposal) to
design/build.
■ If the grant allows, the Fire Department will try to buy the property behind the
Fire House.
■ The grant is supposed to be awarded in September; at this time it is unknown as
to whether matching funds will be required from the City.
2"d Goal: Turn Over Fire Inspections to Building Department
■ The Fire Department has supplied the educational requirements and dates for
the Building Department staff.
3`d Goal: Reduce ISO Ratings
■ The City Manager requested that the Fire Department be re -rated; an 800 page
pre -survey package was received on April 17 and this will take 30 — 45 days to
fill out and send back.
■ Condominiums will be included; previously, some of them were not getting
properly rated relating to sprinkler systems and this will give the Fire Department
more credit.
■ This is a no cost goal.
■ Homeowner Insurance will drop in the long run.
4"' Goal: Maintain Competitive Pay
■ This is an ongoing goal; most other agencies have frozen pay; if the City gives
no raises this year, the Fire Department will do the same.
■ The Cape Canaveral Volunteer Fire Department is unable to compete with the
City of Orlando; they start their Fire EMT's out at $41,500 and the CCVFD starts
at $30,000.
5t' Goal: Reduce Fuel Costs
■ Unnecessary use of vehicles has been curtailed.
■ They are hopeful that the cost of diesel does not rise like it did last year.

o The Fire Department will have work parties to spruce up the Fire House and
property putting down asphalt sealer and painting the building; Walter Bandish,
Public Works Director, offered to give the Fire Department left- over asphalt
sealer.
o Mr. Petsos recalled that Council never agreed to the Fire Inspections being
turned over to the Building Department. Mr. Boucher clarified that Council looked
at the issue and decided not to go forward with it during Draft Budget time last
year.
o Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stressed that both the Building Department and the Fire
Department need to be in touch with each other 24 hours a day.
o A fire marshal would need to be appointed if the City Building Department were
to take over Fire Inspections.
o The CCVFD has fifteen (15) volunteer firefighters.
o The Fire House is the number one concern; putting up a new roof and
remodeling the inside of the existing facility is an option if the CCVFD is denied
the grant. CCVFD is asking for a five million dollar grant for replacement of the
fire house; if money is not granted, a bond issue is one aspect of funding that
would be considered.
o The CCVFD has a grant that will not allow layoffs of any firefighters for four and
a half (4'/) years, otherwise the entire grant would have to be paid back to the
Federal Government.
o Employee retirement and the economy are major concerns; the Fire
Department does not have a rich retirement plan and the IRS is demanding
$300,000 that was originally to be paid back over a 30 year period.
o The First Responder Program will most likely go away next year; this is up to
the Brevard County Commissioners.
o Overall condition of the Fire Department equipment is good; some capital
purchases have been delayed because of the economy; cash reserves could be
used in the future for replacement of a 1978 truck and a mini -pumper that is
almost ten (10) years old that needs to be re-chassed if the grant does not come
through.
o Upgrading to in -vehicle computers for dispatch will come out of reserves.
o The Fire Department is taking advantage of free Homeland Defense Training to
use radiation detection portal devices at Port Canaveral.
o New Fire Station at Port Canaveral is on hold due to safety regulation delays.
o CCVFD is meeting the State requirement for 17/10 —17/20 personnel; no other
personnel are needed.
o CCVFD has been successful in receiving grants for new bunker gear and
automatic CPR machines.
Council agreed:
e The issue of Fire Inspections would be a discussion item for later.

FY 2008-2009 GOALS/RESULTS:
Jeff Ratliff, Assistant Public Works Director, presented last year's Beautification Goals
and Results.
1.) Install flagpolesilights at both north and south City signs: Project completed
in January 2009
2.) Does the City wish to continue to support for Keep Brevard Beautiful?: the
City contributed $2,300 this fiscal year (usual annual amount).
3.) Beautification Board would like to eventually purchase new Christmas
decorations - $15,000: Streets Department is currently reviewing various
Christmas decorations — to be presented to Beautification Board.
4.) Poinsettias — Typically plant 2,000 plants — could reduce to 500 plants for
cost savings? : Only 1,500 plants were planted at Christmas.
5.) Continue with annual sea oats plantings ($4,000) — reduce number of
plants? : Project completed in February 2009 (7,500 plants).
6.) Complete redevelopment of Ridgewood Avenue and North Atlantic Avenue
— medians, planter, etc...: Ridgewood Avenue is in the final design stage —
project to be bid this summer (estimated cost of $2.2 million). Brad Smith
Associates completed the conceptual design drawings for North Atlantic Avenue
in March 2009 (estimated cost of $1.8 million).
7.) City -leased property located north of Country Inn Suites — Future Park —
must work with property owner (Port Canaveral)? : Port Canaveral wishes to
leave the site undeveloped — possible future stormwater park?
8.) Potential Clock Tower at the City Hall complex?: Not budgeted.
9.) Limit Beautification Board Meetings to six meetings per year (instead of
current 12 meetings): Meetings have been reduced to quarterly or on an as
needed basis.
OTHER GOALIRESULT ISSUES:
1.) Install transit shelters/benches at locations throughout the City: Project is
currently moving forward with at grant from the Space Coast Area Transit (SCAT).
Due to limited SCAT funds, the following activities will be completed:
FY 2008-2009:
• Six Shelters and 11 benches/trash cans will be installed.
FY 2009-2010
• Six additional benches/trash cans to be installed.
The City has the option of contributing funds to complete the entire project in FY2008-
2009 — cost of $27,000.

2.) Sufficient lighting along SR AIA and North Atlantic Avenue? : 200 -watt bulbs
will be installed in street lights at major intersections along SR A IA. Additional street
lights will be added at the intersection of West Central Boulevard and North Atlantic
Avenue (new intersection). FPL is currently performing engineering.
Points of Discussion:
o The cost of replacing the flagpole on the north end due to comments that were
made to Mr. Ratliff by one (1) Councilmember that it is not tall enough; Mr.
Ratliff clarified a cost estimate was requested from a contractor in case the issue
comes up again.
o Mr. Ratliff stated there are good bargains on Christmas Decorations now and
thinks the Streets Department can get a better deal than $15,000.
o Another workshop on Ridgewood Avenue and North Atlantic Avenue Projects
will take place before going forward.
o The City -leased property north of the Country Inn Suites is in the Comp Plan as a
Conservation Area.
o A workshop is needed to pick design and colors of transit shelters and
benches; the project will not cost the City anything over a two (2) year period;
Mr. Ratliff warned Council that they may receive complaints from some residents
about the project.
o There is no projected timeline yet for the lighting project along SR AllA and
North Atlantic Avenue.
Council agreed:
• A vote is required before replacing a flagpole.
FY 2009-2010 GOALS:
1.) Keep Brevard Beautiful. Make annual contribution ($2,300)
2.) Sea Oats. Continue annual planting of sea oats along dune line (winter — 5, 000
to 7,500 plants).
3.) Ridgewood Avenue Redevelopment Project Plant/maintain trees/shrubs as
part of the redevelopment project — to be bid in summer 2009.
4.) Manatee Park. Plant flowering tree forest along shoreline.
5.) Beach crossovers. Plant areas of flowering plants around entrance to beach
crossovers.
6.) Transit Benches. Install six (6) additional transit benches4rash cans with SCAT
funds.
7.) Routine annual projects from Beautification Fund:
• Landscape maintenance contract - $145,000;
• Chemical applications contract - $31,000;
• Inmate contract services - $58,000;
• Contractor irrigation services - $2,500.

Page 6 of 13
Points of Discussion:
o Keep Brevard Beautiful performs beach clean-up efforts such as the Annual
Trash Bash.
o The flowering trees being considered for Manatee Park are small and will not
obstruct views; FEMA funds will be used to make repairs for Tropical Storm Fay
damage (no date for this yet).
o Mr. Ratliff informed Council that he spoke with Florida Inland Navigation
District (FIND) about construction of a Fishing Pier at one of the City Parks,
possibly Manatee Park; FIND is confident the City could get a 75/25 matching
grant for the pier.
o The suggestion was made to couple the fishing pier grant with a grant for
construction of restrooms at Banana River Park; FIND grants pay for parking
lots, restrooms and the structure itself (the pier).
o The landscape and chemical contractors' costs have not increased from last
year.
o PDSI, the City's landscaping/lawn contractor, charging separately for lot mowing
of foreclosed properties cited by the Code Enforcement.
o Mr. Ratliff urged Council to keep in mind that a lot of the Beautification funds
will be used for the Ridgewood Avenue Project.
No Council Consensus was Qiven.
STORMWATER:
FY 2008-2009 GOALSIRESULTS:
Mr. Ratliff presented last year's Stormwater Goals and Results.
1.) Initiate routine program to clean stormwater outfalls to the Banana River:
Outfalls are routinely inspected atter heavy rainfall events — most outfalls "clean
themselves" due to high stormwater flow in pipes.
2.) Complete grant -funded project for the cleanup o the southern portion of the
Central Ditch: Grant was rescinded by the St Johns River Water Management
District (SJRWIVID). City continues to move forward with design drawings for flood
control measures — improvements to be funded by Stormwater Utility.
3.) Initiate program to improve and maintain the northern portion of the Central
Ditch: Working on easement and permitting issues to allow for a thorough cleanup
of the northern portion of the ditch.
4.) Select/construct future stormwater projects: Seven (7) major stormwater
improvement projects have been identified.
• Install ex -filtration trenches beneath ball diamonds at Central City Park —
possible funding from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) and SJRWMD.

e Install hydrocarbon filtration devices in selected stormwater inlets adjacent
to hydrocarbon source areas — possible funding from the FDEP and the
SJRWMD. Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) should also be
approached for funds.
e Install debris baskets in selected inlets — possible funding from the FDEP
and the SJRWMD.
e Installation of nutrient -separating baffle boxes at Central Ditch on A1A —
possible funding from the FDEP and SJRWMD. FDOT should also be
approached for funds.
e Wet detention pond at Manatee Park — stormwater could be treated at
NW1rTP and reused during draught periods. Possible funding from the FDEP
and the SJRWMD.
e Wet detention pond at SE intersection of Orange and Buchanan Avenues —
would require purchase of property. Possible funding from the FDEP and the
SJRWMD.
e Wet detention pond/park at vacant property located at SW intersection of
West Central Boulevard and North Atlantic Avenue — Would require purchase
of property. Possible funding from the FDEP and the SJRWMD.
Points of Discussion:
o The term "clean themselves" refers to the force of the water coming out of the
pipes during a heavy rainstorm, it takes all of the built up sediment with it which
makes if self-cleaning.
o The easement for the northern portion of the Central Ditch is for sanitary sewer
only; property owners do not want the City back there for anything else.
o The hydrocarbon that ends up in the stormwater comes from older gas station
run-off from the concrete and asphalt; installation of the filtration devices
would be a small project.
o The seven (7) major stormwater projects will have to be done eventually and
Council and Staff will have to sit down to talk about them more in the future; Mr.
Petsos requested maintenance estimates at that time.
OTHER GOALSIRESULTS ISSUES:
1.) Complete stormwater improvements to the northern portion of the Central
Ditch: Project completed in January 2009.
2.) Improve stormwater system in Harbor Heights neighborhood: New stormwater
inlets were installed in December 2008, selected stormwater pipes were also N
monitored to determine current conditions.
3.) City Council should consider raising the Stormwater Utility Fee: the City's fee is
currently one of the lowest in the state.
4.) Improve stormwater system in NE portion of the City (Solana Lakes area): A
number of tasks were completed. Information provided to residents about using
stormwater for irrigation; Improvements were constructed s excess water from the
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida

o $31,075 is the approximate cost of replacement/repair of the inlets and Mr. Ratliff
added that he would bump the number of those up to 10 or 12.
No Council Consensus was given.
STREETS DEPARTMENT:
FY 2008-2009 GOALS/RESULTS:
Walter Bandish, Public Works Director, presented last year's Streets Department Goals
and Results.
1.) Initiate plan to rebuild beach crossovers (budgeted $20,000 per year for
numerous years.): Project plan has been prepared — National Emergency Grant
(NEG) workers have completed inspections of all crossovers and performed all
major repairs — currently performing minor repairs.
2.) Consider purchase of a new City sign (estimated cost of $47,950): Not

6.) Possible Revenue enhancements: Install parking meters at beach ends — currently
under review. (see attached Parking Meter Study prepared by Staff)
FY 2009-2010 GOALS:
1.) Goals: Due to the budget, Public Works will "cavy -over" last year's Goals and
Objectives to FY 2009-2010 and attempt to complete selected goals.
2.) Sidewalks: Install sidewalk/crossover in the right-of-way between Shorewood and
Villages of Seaport with impact fees from the County. Cost estimate has been
received ($75, 000) — cannot perform construction during turtle nesting.

Points of Discussion:
o Trex brand decking material is being used for repairs, wherever possible, of the
beach crossovers.
o Digital signs are not in the City Code presently; the goal for purchasing a new
City sign can be revisited.
o When and where it is possible, two (2) people are riding in one (1) vehicle to
cut wear and tear on vehicles and save on fuel.
o Mr. Petsos inquired if it was the developer's responsibility for the installation of
sidewalks on the North Side of West Central Boulevard; in reference to using
transportation impact fees for sidewalks (in the areas listed above), Mayor Pro
Tem Hoog brought up an Ordinance the City passed 5-6 years ago to install
sidewalks on undeveloped property.
o Completing the City's Prime Path Master Plan and then the rest of the City
Sidewalks; Ms. Roberts pointed out the need for sophisticated software to
modemize the capability to communicate with the City's residents to plan forward
and also the need for a sidewalk on the East Side of North Atlantic Avenue, at
Shorewood and Coastal Fuels will be put in the plan; Mr. Bandish stated he
would redo the Prime Path map.
o John Pekar, City Engineer, referred to completion of sidewalks on the East Side
of North SR A1A, and stated the City has two (2) options, either a storm drain
culvert or an easement
o Ms. Roberts mentioned opening up another street artery through the City,
from the Fire Department at Port Canaveral, for strategic planning in the future
development of the City thus relieving traffic and providing altematives to bikers,
walkers, etc...
o Issuing parking permits to residents in the event parking meters are installed;
revenues could be $512,460 per year, if meters were full; The City of Cocoa
Beach revenues are over a million dollars a year from parking meters, permits
and fines; Mr. Bandish suggested a volunteer citizen could collect money from
the meters as they do in other cities.
o It was pointed out that the meters will help with parking violation issues and it
was also pointed out that the City already pays the Sheriff's Department for
enforcement.
o Mr. Petsos suggested gaining access and maintaining a crossover at Villages
of Seaport.
Council aoreed:
• For the City to use Ordinance 08-2003 for locations such as the North Side of
West Central Boulevard for sidewalks.
• For Staff to continue researching Parking Meters and type options.

WASTEWATER:
FY 2008-2009 GOALS/RESULTS:
Mr. Bandish presented last year's Wastewater Department Goals and Results.
1.) The major goals and objectives for the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)
have been delayed — the reason is unknown cost requirements to complete the
City's Administrative Order (A.O.) No. 06-2162 which is to become part of the
Operational Permit issued to the City for the Water Reclamation Facility. The City
is also working with Port Canaveral on an Interlocal Agreement for the use of the
Port's Aquifer, Storage and Recovery (ASR) System — ASR can be used as
backup if needed for the City's permit A.O. costs could range from $100,000 to
$750,000.
• Testing is ongoing (both A.O. requirements and ASR).
• Will repair all equipment only when needed.
• All infrastructure is currently in good condition.
• All maintenance and preventive maintenance in the scheduled line item budget
will be completed (the Florida Department of Environmental Protection [FDEP]
extended the City's compliance date of A.O. to March 2010).
• The WWTP and infrastructure improvements are currently in the stand-by mode.
Discussion items followed (part of Mr. Bandish's presentation):
1.) Intersection improvements at West Central Boulevard and North Atlantic
Avenue: Completed in April 2009.
2.) The FDEP can compel the City to build additional tanks (and additional
infrastructure) to divert wastewater from the Banana River: Project ongoing —
working with the Port.
3.) If the Interlocal Agreement does not go through with Port Canaveral,
alternative ways to dispose of the City's reuse water include the construction
of additional tanks and an ex -filtration system on the dune line: On stand-by.
4.) Lift Station #1 force main has been completed: Survey has been completed for
easements — currently working to complete the easement agreements.
5.) Recommendation was made to update eating and washing areas for the
WWTP employees: Area has been cleaned — initiated completion of repairs and
painting — expect completion in May 2009.
6.) FDEP has yet to respond to WWTP report submitted by the City in November
2007: FDEP has responded and the City has put a Minor Revision into the Permit to
eliminate monthly monitoring for zinc, dichlorobromomethane, and silver.
7.) The observation was made that there should be master calendaring, planning
and scheduling for the different project areas throughout the City; to
encourage additional relevant metrics for what the City is doing in terms of
performance goals relative to what the City is trying to accomplish; and

through customer service standards each of the departments should establish
what they are doing to help communicate to the community: A Weekly Status
Report is generated on all ongoing projects — this report is posted on the City's web
page.
FY 2009-2010 GOALS:
1.) To complete the City's WWTP Permit by March 2010.
2.) To be proactive on preventive maintenance of all the equipment in the WWTP and
lift stations.
3.) Work with the Port on the ASR project — this will be a major benefit for the City.
4.) Initiate a 10 -year manhole rehabilitation project as part of the Inflow and Infiltration
(1/1) Project — currently preparing cost estimates with contractors.
Points of Discussion:
o Mr. Bandish explained that the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), in
reference to Reclaimed Water, and the problem they were having with mercury
they believe is solved after testing for a year and a half; he further explained the
City could end up paying $100,000 - $750,000 to fix the problem depending on
the DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) decision; other alternatives
would be to build another storage tank to avoid going through the river or if the
A.O. (Administrative Order) works out at the Port or go for "apricot rule" which is
a minor permit change and would not require testing for mercury going into the
river; The WWTP is using a chemical now that is very low in mercury, just trace
elements.
o The City's manholes are forty-three (43) years old and made of brick and mortar.
o Mr. Boucher pointed out that the City of Cape Canaveral has a great facility and
invited Council to come out for the upcoming Public Works Week Open House in
May; Mr. Boucher informed that The City of Cocoa Beach has to borrow $11
million dollars to get their Wastewater Treatment up to the standards that the City
of Cape Canaveral has been operating at since 1995.
o Mr. Boucher specified Tropical Storm Fay as an event that this department
performed well under and they have not had any breakdowns that could affect
public health.
o The City Manager related that water reuse may be expanded into areas like
Villages of Seaport and Ocean Woods when the City of Cocoa starts putting
in new water meters with backflow preventer devices. This could help with
the mercury issue; Mr. Petsos raised a question about water pressure in that
part of the City. Mr. Bandish stated they would have to look at the problem if it
comes back and revisit the design plan from Brown & Caldwell.
o Mr. Petsos requested a Monthly Report on Water Reuse for Council.
No Council Consensus was given.
