AUDIENCE TO BE HEARD:
Cocoa Beach Mayor Dave Netterstrom provided an update related to the promotions to
attract individuals who will stay in the community and spend money/enrich the economy
rather than just visit the beach and leave their trash. He explained their promotions are
geared to help the economy in the times that are a bit slower. The promotions/marketing
by Port Canaveral was also noted. Mayor Netterstrom indicated Cocoa Beach is
exploring Beach Volleyball tournaments, as it is now a college sport. Discussion
ensued and included the first Mixed Use building in Cocoa Beach; progress that Cape
Canaveral has made with the Overlay District in the north part of the City; successful
grant applications for Complete Streets projects for both Cities; the desire of Cocoa
Beach to enact a tax abatement program similar to Cape Canaveral's; Council's
appreciation for the open communication between the Cities; success of the latest
Kidney Foundation Surf Contest which was staffed by many volunteers as well as an
auction; the unincorporated portion of Brevard County which is known as "Avon By The
Sea, which needs Code Enforcement and Building Official Services; police protection
for "Avon By The Sea" and "Snug Harbor"; and the encouragement for both Cities to
