The terms of regular members Rosalie (Roz) Foster, William (Matt) Gaetjens, Allen Kiesel, Joseph Adams and one alternate member Ulla Rupp Crofton were due to expire on October 31, 2025. Each of these individuals requested reappointment. There were no other applications on file. Stan Johnston commented in support of the board, its purpose, and the request. He also commented on concerns for misinformation. Toni Shifalo supported reappointing the aforementioned regular members and appointing Ms. Crofton as an alternate member. Melinda Villain supported the topics championed by the board. She enjoyed researching Titusville’s history. She also expressed an interest in applying for a board position in the future. Additionally, Ms. Villain highlighted information from old newspaper articles.

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 3 of 21 Motion: Member Nelson moved to reappoint Rosalie (Roz) Foster, William (Matt) Gaetjens, Allen Kiesel, Joseph Adams as regular members and Ulla Rupp Crofton as an alternate member on the Historic Preservation Board, for two-year terms to expire on October 31, 2027. Vice-Mayor Cole seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. xxx North Brevard Commission on Parks and Recreation – The North Brevard Commission on Parks and Recreation's semi-annual written report was included in the agenda packet. No action was requested. xxx Planning and Zoning Commission - Leave of Absence – The request was to approve Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) Regular Member Theodore Garrod's request for a leave of absence from the P&Z meetings from October 15, 2025 through December 1, 2025. Motion: Member Nelson moved to approve Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) Regular Member Theodore Garrod’s leave of absence from October 15, 2025 through December 1, 2025, as requested. Vice-Mayor Cole seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. xxx Titusville Environmental Commission (TEC) – The request was to approve staff time to review and revise areas of Future Land Use Element (FLUE) Policy 1.16.2 in the Comprehensive Plan, not Conservation Element Policy 1.16.2. This was a typo in the Report to Council. The request also included reviewing other policies and related strategies that may help clarify and strengthen the intent of protecting wetlands on smaller parcels. Background information was provided in the Council agenda packet. In 2025, City Council adopted the Natural Resources Public Engagement Summary and recommended strategies. During the TEC meeting in September 2025, the TEC reviewed parts of the Natural Resources Report and voted to focus on the wetland-related recommendations and policies for the foreseeable future. In October 2025, the TEC Vice-Chairperson brought this initiative before City Council on October 14, 2025, where Council discussed and provided direction. The TEC made additional recommendations at their meeting on October 15, 2025. The TEC also desired clarifying the intent of the 5-acre rule to include adjacent properties. Wetlands 5 acres or larger were currently required to be designated by Conservation land use. The recommendations also included considering removing the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) Policy 1.16.2 that allowed conservation easements in Planned Developments in lieu of Conservation land use designations for wetlands 5 acres or more in size. In addition, the request included City Council considering the TEC’s recommendation(s).

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 4 of 21 Titusville Environmental Commission (TEC) Vice-Chairperson Laurilee Thompson requested Council’s support, as recommended and outlined by the TEC. Toni Shifalo commented on addressing ordinances related to wetlands, due to concerns on monumental rainfall, climate change, construction and development causing geographic alterations to land, etc. Stan Johnston waived his right to speak. Council discussion ensued. Member Stoeckel advised she requested a list of Council’s prior advisabilities (directives authorized by the entire governing body), which included 23 items at present, which the City Manager and staff were working to complete and which must be prioritized. For this reason, Member Stoeckel desired making Council’s directives at the regular City Council meeting of October 14, 2025, related to wetlands and flooding, a top priority. Member Nelson and staff discussed page nos. 38 and 39 in the Council agenda packet, the TEC’s recommendations to which staff indicated may be difficult to address or unwind. Staff would do their best to work with TEC to change policy language if the Council directed staff to do so. Staff may also need to return to Council based on the complexity of the work. Mayor Connors and staff discussed the State recently objected or denied Brevard County’s Evaluation Appraisal Report (EAR) of the County Comprehensive Plan; however, City staff did not know the details for the State’s objection. In general, if county and local government policies were more stringent, this may conflict with Senate Bill 180. For this reason, Mayor Connors was cautious about directing and dedicating staff’s time and City resources to working on the recommendations. Member Moscoso and staff discussed how focusing on wetlands of 5-acres or less may be viewed by the State, strategies to address these concepts, clarifying this information and coming-up with criteria such as focusing on the functional value of wetlands, State criteria, being careful not to duplicate State policy in City policies, whether there were policies the Council could modify or adopt that was not a change to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, perceived loopholes in City Codes whereby developers subdivided wetlands to achieve their bigger goals, etc. Discussion continued on policies being intertwined, making a change to one may mean making changes to others, all policies must be considered together when there was an application that proposed amending the Comprehensive Plan and/or that proposed amending the boundaries to the Conservation Land Use map, the degree of difficulty on these matters would need to be evaluated if City Council desired moving forward with the TEC recommendations, the scope of such a project would need to be evaluated if additional assistance was needed, etc. Member Moscoso thanked the TEC for bringing the recommendations forward.

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 5 of 21 Member Nelson supported trying to make changes to policies based on what was possible. She expressed concern for an example scenario where one property owner that owned 3-acres of (wetlands) was adjacent to another 2-acre property (wetlands) owned by another property owner. Member Nelson’s concern was this 5-acre total combination of property (in total) did not count toward policy or criteria that discussed wetlands of 5 acres or more in size. Additionally, she desired Council and staff having flexibility. Motion: Member Nelson moved to approve staff time to review and revise areas of the Future Land Use Element Policy No. 1.16.2 of the Comprehensive Plan and any related sections. Member Stoeckel seconded the motion for discussion. Member Stoeckel desired including in the motion directing staff to include a review of all wetlands, stormwater, and flooding and to make this advisability a top priority. Member Nelson indicated agreement to amend the motion presently on the floor. There was no objection. Amended Motion: Member Nelson moved to approve staff time to review and revise areas of the Future Land Use Element Policy No. 1.16.2 of the Comprehensive Plan and any related sections. The motion also included directing staff to include a review of all wetlands, stormwater, and flooding and to make this advisability a top priority. Member Stoeckel’s second held. Member Stoeckel briefly discussed changes anticipated with Senate Bill 180. She also felt the City’s upcoming Evaluation Appraisal Report (EAR) of the Titusville Comprehensive Plan would likely be rejected by the State as well. If this occurred, the Council would need to continue working on the issue until satisfied. The motion carried unanimously. xxx Titusville Housing Authority – No action was requested. The Titusville Housing Authority's semi- annual written report was included in the Council agenda packet. xxx PETITIONS AND REQUESTS FROM THE PUBLIC PRESENT (NON-AGENDA ITEMS) - Kay St. Onge thanked the City Manager, the Public Works Department, and Mayor Connors for the items and actions mentioned by the City Manager earlier in the meeting, concerning what the City was doing in response to the heavy rainfall of October 26, 2025. She further highlighted how the heavy rainfall impacted her neighborhood, four homes, and cars in the area of Maryland Avenue. Ms. St. Onge also discussed an underground drainage culvert located under Maryland Avenue had not been cleaned in some time. A contractor installing a baffle box on Tennessee

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 6 of 21 Avenue indicated that the ditch where the culvert on Maryland Avenue was located had not been cleaned. In short, Ms. St. Onge requested the City address flooding in her neighborhood and/or throughout the City. xxx An individual (name not provided) thanked the City for its emergency response efforts during the heavy rainfall of October 26, 2025, but she felt that City and emergency response personnel efforts were not enough. Her 16-year-old daughter was trapped in waist high deep water by Bonnymede Drive and Singleton Avenue and there was no one to help her daughter during the emergency, so she went to rescue her daughter herself. The individual was also told there were higher priority calls for emergency assistance during the evening of October 26, 2025. Ultimately, residents of Mims that drove tall 4-wheel drive (type) trucks ended up rescuing her and her daughter. For these reasons, the individual requested the City ensure that it had enough emergency response resources in the future and improve its stormwater and drainage infrastructure. xxx Stan Johnston distributed information. He commented on his earlier concerns expressed at the Council presentations meeting at 5:30 p.m., concerns about stormwater drainage, his complaints of fraud, issues with the City’s stormwater plans, drainage reports, withholding information, etc. xxx Robert Wilson distributed information. He commented on his concerns about the proper placement and display of the American Flag at a City facility. xxx Joann Stanley distributed information. She came to thank the Council and City on behalf of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Just Serve (an additional affiliation). These organizations were placing “giving machines” in several locations throughout Central Florida. She also commented on North Brevard Charities in Titusville and their involvement in assisting the community. Ms. Stanley further explained the structure of the “giving machines” program and requested the Council tell others about the program, etc. xxx Dwight Severs commented on Council having recently appointed a new City Manager and City Attorney and his recommendations to the newly appointed individuals on fulfilling the scope of work in their positions. Mr. Severs recommended the newly appointed officials make organizational changes, set a new tone and direction, uphold all public policies such as within Florida Statutes Chapters 112 and 286, promote the public interest, maintain the respect of the people, etc.

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 7 of 21 Mr. Severs further commented on the importance of upholding transparency, communication with the public, accessibility, public records, fair treatment of all, etc. Mr. Severs also commented on being involved with the dedication of the Council Chamber in 1968 and the formal seating arrangement on the Council dais in 1968 intended to have the City Manager and City Attorney sit on the dais with the City Council and City Clerk. About the Assistant City Attorney position, he began as to why he requested hiring an individual for this new position created and filled in 1999. Mr. Severs requested an additional minute to speak. Motion: Member Nelson moved to give Dwight Severs an additional minute to speak. Member Moscoso seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Mr. Severs continued and discussed why, as the City Attorney during 1999, he requested hiring an Assistant City Attorney. His comments were reflective and indicated sacrifices that he made on behalf of the City during his career. It was important to hire an Assistant City Attorney, so that both attorneys could have a work-life balance and could spend time away with their families, etc. xxx Malinda Villain distributed information. She commented on concerns for safety and freight truck deliveries on Acorn Drive, the importance of the Indian River City Neighborhood (IRCN), having a zone for freight loading and unloading, having signage to indicate “do not block driveway(s)”, an alleyway that was never supposed to be part of a truck route in the IRCN, concerns on traffic, making freight truck determinations, it was indicated to her that the IRCN was an overlay district that did not have its own zoning, policy language in a 2012 City ordinance, and plans for the IRCN neighborhood, etc. Ms. Villain further advised that she should have had a safety study completed for freight trucks in the IRCN years ago. She also further commented on violations of a 2017 City ordinance, danger of trucks driving through the IRCN neighborhood, a debate on who should initiate and request the City to vacate a particular right-of-way, concerns for school buses were traveling on the same truck route, etc. City Manager Abbate advised he would continue to work with Ms. Villain to resolve her issue(s). xxx Tom Dobson advised that he and his wife owned a 25-acre parcel surrounding the Country Club Heights Subdivision. His property contained a lake crucial to stormwater runoff in the larger geographical area that was west of Park Avenue, from the YMCA to Bell Terrace. He advised stormwater runoff from canals and three streets ran into his lake and eventually toward the Indian River Lagoon. With the recent heavy rainfall, the lake was at full capacity.

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 8 of 21 Mr. Dobson’s request was for the City to carefully consider or avoid allowing future high density development and impervious surfaces in the area he described to offset future flooding issues. xxx Laurilee Thompson referenced a 100-year-old newspaper article mentioned by Malinda Villain. The article included comments on drainage from wetlands that flowed west toward the St. Johns River flood plain and this was no longer the case in present day. Instead, the present direction flowed east toward the lagoon. Ms. Thompson advised her concerns were for the big wetlands on the south side of State Road 405 and the north side of Singleton Avenue that were connected through culvert pipes that directed the flow of water in the direction of Lake Morbecca. She was concerned about massive flooding in the Temple Terrace and the Baker’s Subdivisions. She advised that individuals could not enter into the subdivisions due to massive flooding in the area. To be truly functional as wetlands, Ms. Thompson advised wetlands needed borders and 25-feet border were not enough. Trees also needed to be in wetland borders. Trees absorbed water and this offset flooding downstream. There was a public engagement event scheduled for November 4, 2025 that would discuss resiliency planning. New (2025) FEMA flood maps would also be revealed at the event, etc. xxx CONSENT AGENDA An addendum to the Council agenda was published several days prior to the meeting. The addendum added an additional Consent Agenda item, being the Tranquility Right of Way Use Agreement, identified as Item No. D. Additionally, a revised agreement for Consent Agenda Item No. D was distributed prior to the Council meeting. City Manager Abbate read Consent Agenda Item Nos. A, B, C, and D, as followed: A. Economic Development Strategic Plan - Adopt the updated Economic Development Strategic Plan as presented by the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council at the 5:30 p.m. presentation meeting. B.

In addition, approve the purchase through Sourcewell contract #020625-BRNC and associated budget amendment.

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 9 of 21 D. Tranquility Right of Way Use Agreement – The request was to approve the right of way use agreement for a ground sign and structure at the Tranquility development entrance and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement. Toni Shifalo submitted a public speaking card on Consent Agenda Item No. A, to which she indicated support on the agenda item. Stan Johnston submitted a public speaking card(s) on Consent Agenda Item Nos. A, B, C, and D, to which he indicated being neutral on the requested actions.

Vice-Mayor Cole seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. xxx ORDINANCES – SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARING AND RELATED ACTION Transmittal of the Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR) Based Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan – City Manager Abbate highlighted the request provided in the Council agenda packet. The request was to approve the transmittal of the Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR) Based Amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan to the State Land Planning Agency. On October 8, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the Local Planning Agency, recommended approval by a vote of 6-yes to 1-no for Transmittal of the Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR) based amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to the state's land planning agency with the following changes: (1) Add the following language to Future Land Use Element Policy 1.5.8 "Encourage Brevard Native landscaping;" and (2) Delete Conservation Element Policy 1.6.8. One member voted no as he did not feel that the data used for growth projections were accurate and skewed the accuracy of the whole report. Kimley-Horn (Civil Engineering and Consulting Firm) Representatives Emily Thomas and Eliza Harris Juliano gave a presentation that highlighted information on the Evaluation Appraisal Review (EAR) was a statutory requirement that must be completed by the local government(s) every 7-years, future anticipated growth and needs, amendments required by Florida Statutes, updates based on feedback provided at prior community engagement meetings, housing data, the Local Planning Agency’s (LPA) review and concerns, etc. Member Stoeckel and the Kimley-Horn Representatives discussed her questions and concerns on methodologies used to calculate future capacity needs for the various service levels, challenges with calculating future stormwater capacity needs for future storms or calculating for an overabundance of rainfall greater than the design of the stormwater and sewer infrastructure, a

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 10 of 21 “one in 500 storm” (probability statistics) was happening more frequently in present day than in prior years, and providing various data to assist Council with making the best decisions. Community Development Director Brad Parrish gave an overview on standard levels of service, including stormwater. The minimum standard was related to design and when new development occurred, the developer was required to meet minimum standards. Whether the Council desired making changes to minimum design standards was a concept discussed. There was a Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) grant that was making it possible to complete a Resiliency Study and Vulnerability Assessment to prepare and adapt for future anticipated changes in sea level rise, more frequent storm events, etc. The Kimley-Horn consultants advised they did look at the levels of service for sewer and there was not a per capita level of service for stormwater. This would need to be a separate effort. Further discussion ensued on: • Receiving permission from the State to extend the deadline on the City’s tasks related to transmitting the Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR) of the City’s Comprehensive Plan to the State • Whether the Council could still make changes to the EAR, while the item was being further processed by the City and prior to eventual (proposed) adoption at a future Council meeting. The answer was yes Mayor Connors opened the public hearing. Laurilee Thompson requested requiring the use of native Brevard plants in the related EAR policies, removing proposed Conservation Element Policy No. 1.6.8 as highlighted and which honored a prior Council directive to work with the Titusville Environmental Commission (TEC) and remove confusing policy language on wetlands, etc. Stan Johnston requested the ability to hold a large sign while he spoke at the podium. He felt not being allowed to do this by City Council rules of participation were unconstitutional. Per Member Moscoso’s request, she and City Attorney Treasure discussed the City Council’s rules for public comment, participation, and conduct, for the purpose of discussing whether the public and citizens could hold up signage during their comments. As there were no additional persons that wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 11 of 21 Motion: Member Nelson moved to approve transmittal of the Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR) Based Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and to the State Land Planning Agency, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the Local Planning Agency.

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 16 of 21 Stan Johnston argued on the public comment and participation rules and the inability to hold up signs at the podium, while he spoke on issues, which he felt was part of giving a presentation along with his comments. He also felt the City had not reviewed the stormwater master plan and staff did not look at the Comprehensive Plan policies.

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 17 of 21 Crossing Ahead” Pavement Marking (per lane), new speed limit shield pavement marking (per lane), and new speed limit panel and radar speed feedback sign assembly in the downtown. Council discussion ensued on who created the maps, who initiated the project, feedback from the FDOT, coming back with a plan to slow down traffic in the downtown and area of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) boundaries, other methods to slow down traffic on the major highway that ran through the downtown, having red and/or yellow flashing lights on Julia Street or north bound traffic on U.S. Highway 1, accepting improvements approved by the FDOT given the improvements could be made quickly, the difference in light flashing equipment and costs, changing the culture or behavior of traffic, staff and the FDOT traffic operations staff were consulted, the plan met the City Council’s request or plans, the Secretary of the State or the FDOT Secretary had approved the plans, it was difficult to get plans approved that went through various transportation boards, etc. Consensus Approval Council supported the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) project or proposal to install several new crosswalk(s) and to move forward, as discussed and as noted on the maps distributed at the meeting. xxx Mayor Connors requested Council’s consideration on updating the City’s Stormwater Master Plan. The original plan was written in 1966 and addendums were added in 1993 and 2007, but per Mayor Connors, the addendums mostly focused on different water basins. A complete, comprehensive, re-evaluation of the 1966 Stormwater Master Plan had not been completed since the original; however, the concept was discussed by Council several years ago with an approximate cost of $600,000, but to which was not authorized or did not move forward. Due to growth and various changes since 1966, Mayor Connors desired having clear goals and objectives on stormwater. He also desired Council’s consideration to direct staff to report back on this matter at a future Council meeting. Member Nelson supported the Mayor’s request. She also advised Council previously requested a study of the St. Johns River water basin (a request in progress indicated was funded by a grant). She asked whether it was important to receive the study results prior to Council directing the update to the Stormwater Master Plan. Public Works Director Kevin Cook advised that it depended on what parameters the Council might address. If Council desired raising the level of service above a 100-year and completing an updated comprehensive stormwater plan for the entire City, the grant funding referenced during the discussion would not be affected, due to it also must incorporate some shifting of water. Public Works Director Cook described the purpose or scope of the 1966 Stormwater Master Plan. It was meant to drain wetlands and “move things through an old system”. Questions that Council might consider were, as followed:

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 18 of 21 1. Comprehensive and large scope. Was the Council looking to move forward with a 10 to 25-year design system and upgrade it to the 100 (100-year) for the entire City? If so, this would be a comprehensive City-wide plan or design update. 2. Alterative scope and specific focus. Did the Council desire taking a more focused approach and focus on flood-prone areas first? Public Works Director Cook advised that Council’s decisions on these types of questions would assist staff to sculpt how the City procured (solicited) a consultant. Years ago, when the Council discussed updating the plan, the desire was to do a comprehensive City-wide update specifically intended to address flooding, targeting flood prone areas, and raising the service levels City wide. The estimated cost for the work several years ago was $675,000. There were subdivisions, mostly newer ones, that were not affected by flooding; however, there were older subdivisions that were affected by flooding. Staff also did not feel the Council should wait on the results of the St. Johns River water basin study. It would also require a substantive amount of time to develop “the model” for having and preparing a new comprehensive stormwater plan. Member Nelson indicated agreement with Mayor Connors and Public Works Director Cook. Member Nelson and staff discussed that if a new comprehensive study was conducted Citywide, she desired evaluating and increasing service level standards for flooding from 100 to 500 (probability terms). Member Stoeckel supported this idea. Member Nelson recalled in 2007, there was two continuous weeks of rain. Many streets were flooded and she was unable or advised not to report to work during these two weeks. Member Stoeckel also indicated agreement with Mayor Connors and Public Works Director Cook. She also desired a future presentation to be provided to the Council on the status of three (3) items, and to which Member Moscoso added a fourth during this discussion, as followed: 1. Development and the current standards 2. How the Stormwater Master Plan aligned with development 3. The current schedule for maintaining the City’s drainage system, ditches, and the lift stations 4. The status of the City’s water treatment plants Mayor Connors also desired identifying any areas of the Stormwater Master Plan that were not current with Florida Statutes. Member Stoeckel commented on receiving a presentation to gain a sense and receive information on the four aforementioned items. Her thinking was that asking for and receiving this information could help a governing body learn an executive manager’s or staff’s perspective for “where” more money could be used, “where” more employees were needed, “where or what” would make sense, and to Mayor Connors’ point whether or not the plan met current State Statutes, etc.

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 19 of 21 Member Nelson acknowledged Member Stoeckel’s desire to receive a presentation on the four above items. Member Stoeckel was okay with a presentation or workshop on the information or status of the above four items---whatever staff felt was better. Vice-Mayor Cole and staff discussed his questions on whether some or all of the tasks discussed thus far would require outsourcing or whether the tasks could be completed by City staff. Only preparing an updated Stormwater Master Plan would require outsourcing; otherwise, staff could report back on “where” the City was now in response to the four above questions. Public Works and Community Development could collaborate and provide both a current level of service presentation for stormwater and another for development. It was indicated these subjects would be tied to the scope of work for updating the Stormwater Master Plan. Mayor Connors commented on his desire for the simultaneous coordination of both (1.) directing staff to start the process and to provide an advisability to hire an outside consultant to update the City’s Stormwater Master Plan and reporting back to Council (due to this would take time), as well as (2.) directing staff to return to the Council at a future meeting with a presentation on the four above requested items (to be completed in the meantime). Mayor Connors estimated it would take some time to complete these tasks and eventually a contract would be presented to the Council. Motion: Member Nelson moved to direct staff to provide an advisability to hire an outside consultant to update the City’s Stormwater Master Plan, as requested by Mayor Connors, as well as have staff provide a presentation and update on 1. Development and the current standards 2. How the Stormwater Master Plan aligned with development 3. Current schedule for maintaining the City’s drainage system, ditches, and the lift stations 4. The status of the City’s water treatment plants Member Stoeckel seconded the motion: Stan Johnston indicated that he had shined the light on concerns about stormwater and flooding many times. He further commented that the current Stormwater Master Plan required maintenance, including maintenance of drainage to the St. Johns River, maintenance of six drainage ditches and/or canals between Highway 50 and Fox Lake Road, and not doing so was a violation of laws, etc. The motion carried unanimously. xxx In addition, Mayor Connors advised that Career Source of Brevard, Volusia, and Flagler Counties (career agency) were looking for a new headquarters. He sought ideas from Council for any locations in Titusville. The agency was looking for a government or similar agency to provide them office space of approximately 5,000 square feet.

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 20 of 21 Member Stoeckel commented on whether the college in Titusville (Eastern Florida State College) may have office space. xxx Council Reports - Vice-Mayor Cole briefed the Council on the following items: • Cautioning citizens to be aware of fraud and scams for money, etc. • Being impressed by the water and sewer treatment facilities and staff operations xxx Member Moscoso briefed the Council on the following items: • The importance of the water and sewer treatment facilities, how recent rains caused volume issues for the facilities, and why looking at this issue was important. A sand filter may be one solution. Blue Heron seemed to be okay for now • A desire to have a discussion with the County and research having shelter for citizens in north Brevard, for events such as hurricanes, etc. • A desire for residents to have the ability to report flooding issues and submit service requests and pictures online and receive a confirmation code In response to the desire for residents to report flooding issues online, staff indicated such a system was quickly forthcoming with training of managers scheduled soon. This capability and cost were included in Council’s prior approval of an asset management system for the water sewer utility. Residents would be able to make requests online, which would essentially create electronic work orders, and which would be deployed to supervisors’ and/or managers’ tablets or computers and utility fleet vehicles. xxx Member Nelson advised that volunteers from Lockheed Martin recently provided information to teens on chemistry at the Boys & Girls Club. xxx CITY MANAGER’S REPORT City Manager's Report - City Manager Abbate provided his written report. xxx

Regular Meeting October 28, 2025 Page 21 of 21 City Manager Abbate advised that the Fiscal Year 2025, 4th quarter accomplishments were provided in the Council agenda packet. The accomplishments addressed and supported the City’s Fiscal Year 2025 Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives. xxx City Manager Abbate advised that the Police Hall of Fame would be closing. An item would be on the agenda at the next City Council meeting to discuss the possibility of moving the Police Department headquarters to this facility. xxx CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT – None. xxx Mayor Connors commented on the recent proclamation he issued declaring a State of Emergency in the City, due to the heavy rains of October 26, 2025. The effective period (time span) of the proclamation was 7-days. xxx With no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m. ______________________________ Andrew Connors, Mayor ATTEST: ____________________________________ Wanda F.
