PETITIONS AND REQUESTS FROM THE PUBLIC PRESENT (NON-AGENDA ITEMS) Joe Richardson, a member of the City s Code Enforcement Board, requested two additional minutes to speak for reasons he explained. Member Nelson moved to give Mr. Richardson two additional minutes to speak. Vice-Mayor Barringer seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Mr. Richardson expressed concern on a recent idea to examine using a Code Enforcement Board Magistrate in lieu of the existing Code Enforcement Board of volunteer members. The idea Page 3 of 16

4 manifested following the recent retirement announcement by the City s longtime Code Enforcement Board attorney. Mr. Richardson highlighted an article written by a special code enforcement magistrate of the City of Oakland (Orange County, Florida). The article discussed the difficulty of finding qualified members to serve on Code boards and members may have predetermined loyalties or mindsets. Mr. Richardson felt this was not true of the Titusville Code Enforcement Board and Titusville was not comparable with the town of Oakland. For these reasons, he requested the City Council not consider the idea of discontinuing the Code Enforcement Board and immediately begin searching for a new attorney to assist the board. City Attorney Broome advised this subject matter was a scheduled consent agenda item on the agenda and the public should speak during this time. Stan Johnston expressed concern about the flow of water drainage through culverts located along Interstate 95, following recent hurricanes; his filing a report on these matters on April ninth; and not getting a response from the City about his report and opinions on the matter. City Manager Larese advised the City s Public Works Director did respond to Mr. Johnston s concern, who communicated to the citizen that the culverts that Mr. Johnston referenced were not maintained by the City, but were maintained by another government agency. Member Stoeckel invited two individuals from the audience to speak on sustainability; her recent meeting with the individuals, who were involved with clean energy; a proposal for the City to adopt a resolution to transition to using clean energy; transitioning the Titusville Environmental Commission (TEC) into a sustainability board, etc. The individuals did not speak. Member Nelson and City Attorney Broome discussed the Titusville Environmental Commission (TEC) addressing sustainability. He and others would review the policies that governed the TEC s scope or duties to see if the Code language was broadly written and would allow the board to expand its focus and address sustainability. Council discussed not adopting the resolution immediately, but waiting instead to work with the TEC on these matters; competing projects and costs like the Indian River Lagoon as one such priority; sustainability was important and more information was desired, including how other agencies were addressing the subject matter; the discussion was worthwhile under Mayor and Council Reports; City staff had received some directives from the TEC CONSENT AGENDA: Several individuals submitted public speaking cards on Consent Agenda Items B, C, D, E and G.

Ozan, a member of the Code Enforcement Board, commented on her dedication and reasoning for joining the board. She did not support using a magistrate for reasons she explained. Mayor Johnson discussed the purpose of advisability and the City Manager seeking direction from Council that might allow staff to research the concept and report back with information. The idea of using a magistrate manifested recently after the Code Enforcement attorney notified the City on his upcoming retirement. Council debate ensued on researching these matters, gathering information, the importance of receiving input from the Code Enforcement Board and the public, efficiencies, staff was not advocating one method over the other, improving communication, Council members experience and perspectives on these concepts, reviewing other cities practices, controlling costs, ensuring citizens were represented fairly and were heard, the process to advertise for a new board attorney, exploring all facts and options, advisory boards were a portion of the Strategic Plan, the history and effectiveness of the Code Enforcement Board, etc. Page 7 of 16

8 Vice-Mayor Barringer moved to approve advisability and move forward with receiving information for all things related to the Code Enforcement Board, with the addition of having staff provide a matrix with data that provided what an effective board looked like. The motion died for a lack of a second. Member Nelson moved to not approve advisability to research using a Code Enforcement Board Magistrate in lieu of the existing Code Enforcement Board of volunteer members. Member Diesel seconded the motion.

The roll call vote was: Member Nelson Mayor Johnson Vice-Mayor Barringer Member Stoeckel Member Diesel No No The motion carried, 3 yes 2 no. The request for advisability was denied. Pat Belle, a member of the Code Enforcement Board, advised that the board was dedicated, diverse, fair, and comprised of volunteers that did not get paid for their work.

The public hearing for Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSA) No and related Ordinance Nos and was scheduled for the regular City Council meeting on May 8, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. OLD BUSINESS Water High Consumption Adjustment Policy The request to seek Council concurrence with the proposed Water High Consumption Policy. City Manager Larese advised that on January 23, 2018, staff presented an advisability to Council to create a City policy to address instances of water and sewer bills in excess of their normal usage for which there is not a readily available reason for the increased consumption. He advised the City must comply with water and sewer revenue refunding bond covenants, which stated "that it will not render or cause to render any free services of any nature by its system nor will any preferential rates be established for users of the same class." The recommended policy included in the Council agenda packet created a policy that would adhere to the City's bond covenants and addressed instances where a customer has experienced a spike in their consumption. This policy required a review of the incident by City staff, completion of an application for adjustment by the customer, as well as verification by a licensed plumber. After these conditions were met, a credit could be applied to the customer s account. Page 11 of 16

12 The proposed policy closely mirrored a policy in effect at the City of Cocoa Utilities Department. Member Stoeckel and Assistant City Manager Tom Abbate discussed the frequency of spikes that were currently reported each month. Of 22,000 accounts, approximately 100 accounts reported spikes per month, but the spikes for approximately 90 of these accounts were easily explainable. The spikes for the remaining 10 accounts per month (average) could not be explained. Nadine De Freitas submitted a public speaking card. She thanked the Council for considering the proposed procedure that she confirmed would accommodate the City making adjustments to residents water bills. Ms. De Freitas felt that unexplained spikes might occur more with electronic meters. Stan Johnston submitted a public speaking card. He commented that strange things could occur with electronics and water meters. He desired taking away the requirement of requiring a licensed plumber due to the cost that plumbers may charge citizens. Vice-Mayor Barringer moved to approve the Water High Consumption Policy as presented by staff. Member Stoeckel seconded the motion. Member Nelson felt the proposed policy was a start for addressing prior concerns or issues. Vice- Mayor Barringer commended the Water Resources Director, efforts by many to improve the related processes, providing options for everyone involved, and giving staff flexibility to make adjustments to citizens water bills. Member Diesel commented that citizens water bills had been discussed through the years. Member Diesel also commended the Water Resources Director. The motion carried unanimously. FY 2019 Strategic Plan The request was to approve the FY 2019 City of Titusville Strategic Plan. City Manager Larese advised the City's annual strategic planning cycle began on January 27, 2018 with a Council-Citizen Community Conversation facilitated by Ms. Marilyn Crotty of the Florida Institute of Government (UCF). This event, attended by several dozen citizens, provided Council with input on a wide-range of issues regarding city growth and resource allocation. On March 6, 2018, the Council followed up on the community conversation event by conducting a Council-senior staff workshop. During this workshop, Council was asked to revise and prioritize its existing strategic guidance to staff, consistent with the input provided during the citizen workshop in January Summary reports from both workshops were provided in the Council agenda packet. City Manager Larese advised that based on the guidance received at the March 2018 workshop, staff prepared three versions (proposed options) of the FY 19 City of Titusville Strategic Plan for Council to consider or approve, as followed: Page 12 of 16

13 Version 1: Matrix of 5 Goals with Supporting Objectives which received three of more votes from Council members (Consensus version) Version 2: Matrix of 5 Goals with Supporting Objectives which received two or more votes from Council members. Version 3: Matrix of 5 Goals with Supporting Objectives which received the vote of one or more member. The approved version of the FY 19 Council Strategic Plan would be used as a guideline by staff in allocating FY 2019 funding and staffing resources and developing work plans as it built the proposed FY 2018 City operating budget. Staff was requesting Council finalize its FY 19 Strategic Plan from the three versions presented for consideration. Stan Johnston submitted a public speaking card. He felt the concepts of bankruptcy, stormwater deficiencies, capital improvement projects related to taking homes out of the 100-year flood zone, should be reflected somehow in the City s strategic plan. Discussion ensued on the three proposed versions; addressing safety; Version 3 seemed to be more aligned with the Council s goals; combining objectives; bolded words amongst the versions were the express priorities of Council, such as enhancing educational opportunities for youth. Member Nelson moved to approve the FY 2019 City of Titusville Strategic Plan (version 3) with the following changes: Goal 1: Combine No. 3 Enhance educational opportunities for youth and No. 4 Enhance youth recreational and employment opportunities; and Goal 1: Add safety. Member Stoeckel seconded the motion. Vice-Mayor Barringer confirmed with City Manager Larese that the motion on the floor (under consideration) provided clarity and items were not reduced in priority. The roll call vote was: Vice-Mayor Barringer Member Stoeckel Member Diesel Member Nelson Mayor Johnson The motion carried unanimously. Page 13 of 16

14 NEW BUSINESS None. PETITIONS AND REQUESTS FROM THE PUBLIC PRESENT (NON-AGENDA ITEMS) None. MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor's Report - Mayor Johnson submitted his written report. Member Nelson advised there were discussions with the North Brevard Charities to turn the old Carter House into a Boys and Girls Club; however, there could be an issue with the zoning related to a civic or community center and its location. Community Development Director Busacca advised that staff felt that community centers were limited in the Code and would be delighted to review the Code and come back with recommendations, if advisability was directed to the City Manager and staff. Council gave their consensus for staff to review zoning codes as it relates to having community centers in the City. Member Nelson added there were discussions of having a vocational center in town. Vice-Mayor Barringer commented on the abstract and challenging strategic objective of addressing statistical poverty. He requested adopting the unemployment rate as a measurement to track the City s progress toward this objective. Discussion ensued on the scope and various ways of how the unemployment might be measured; comparisons to other cities unemployment rates; how the rate might vary from one segment of the community to another; children that qualified for free and reduced lunch; gathering data; benchmarks of poverty; fluctuations versus a rolling-year trend; what actions that might make improve or have an impact on the subject matter, etc. Vice-Mayor Barringer commented on using unemployment and other data to arrive at method of how to measure statistical poverty in the City. Council gave their consensus to measure unemployment rates and free and reduced lunches in individual schools. Stan Johnston submitted a public speaking card on Mayor and Council Reports. He commended Members Diesel and Nelson for their work to assist the community s youth. Mr. Johnston also Page 14 of 16

15 advised that the Public Works Director did not receive the report that Mr. Johnston filed on or dated April 9 th. Mr. Johnston was referring to his comments made earlier in the meeting, when he expressed concern about the flow of water drainage through culverts located along Interstate 95, following recent hurricanes; his filing a report on these matters on April ninth; and not getting a response from the City about his report and opinions on the matter. City Manager Larese advised the same accusations were being repeated and, as stated earlier in the meeting, the City s Public Works Director did respond to Mr. Johnston s concerns, who communicated to the citizen that the culverts that Mr. Johnston referenced were not maintained by the City, but were maintained by another government agency. CITY MANAGER S REPORT City Manager's Report - City Manager Larese submitted his written report. One action was submitted for the Council s consideration: Budget Amendment for Marina Dock Repairs - Included in the Council agenda packet for Council s consideration was a budget amendment in the amount of $1,995 to cover an additional cost incurred in repairing damage to our Marina docks sustained during Hurricane Irma (September 2017).
