Additionally, approve the associated Budget Amendment. The City of Titusville currently has three sources of ground water, the Area II wellfield, the Area III wellfield and the Area IV wellfield. Area II and III wellfields were part of the surficial aquifer. While Area IV was part of the Floridian aquifer. The City also purchased some water from the City of Cocoa. These sources combined made up the City’s consumptive use permit issued by St John’s River Water Management District. These combined sources were permitted to supply 6.01 million gallons per day (MGD) to the City, which met current demands and allowed for excess capacity for development. Increases in consumptive usage from these existing sources may be limited in the future. As a result, the Public Works department would like to begin exploring alternative sources of water. As a result, the Public Works department engaged CDM Smith, Inc to provide a proposal for a feasibility study to explore brackish water sources and evaluate concept level treatment facilities that would be needed. The feasibility study included taking into consideration permitting requirements and financial impacts. The final deliverable would be a report outlining the findings and options along with recommendations for next steps. Member Moscoso asked why the City was focusing on the brackish water option and that she was interested in looking at the other options.

On March 4, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval as presented, 5- 1.

Washington Avenue (U.S. Highway 1) and south of State Road 50, having Brevard County Parcel I.D. No. 22-35-26-00-504.1, currently designated with the Light Industrial Services and Warehousing (M-1) zoning district. A CUP was required to permit a mini-warehouse use in the M-1 zoning district according to Section 28-214. – Mini- warehouse. The conceptual site plan illustrated a four-story mini-warehouse building, associated parking, stormwater facilities, and wetland preservation area. The property was currently vacant and had been designated as “Industrial” on the City’s future land use map as early as 1988. The current M-1 zoning district was placed on the property with the adoption of the citywide rezoning Ordinance No. 5-1993.

This item was tabled at the January 29, 2026 Council Meeting to allow for additional discussion. A public meeting was subsequently held on February 6, 2026. Assistant Public Works Director Ashleigh Smith stated that the private survey discussed at the January 29, 2026 Council meeting had since been received, and the project design had been revised to align with the findings of that survey. The updated design confirmed that the project would be constructed entirely within the public right-of-way. The engineering firm, CDM Smith, accepted responsibility for the survey discrepancy and completed the necessary design revisions at no additional cost. Additional concerns raised during the public meeting focused primarily on construction sequencing and maintaining access to adjacent properties. These matters have been discussed with the contractor and would continue to be coordinated with residents to ensure property access was maintained throughout construction. Some attendees also expressed concern that the existing concrete roadway would be replaced with asphalt. They were informed that the project includes replacement with river rock concrete, not asphalt. Staff has also agreed to coordinate the preferred fence with the adjacent resident. The Bayview lift station was a 1960s bunker style lift station located at Bayview Street and Riverside Drive along the bank of the Indian River Lagoon. Over the years, this lift station has been subject to erosion related to hurricanes with various remediation efforts needed due to its

Regular Meeting March 10, 2026 Page 13 of 19 proximity to the bank of the Lagoon. In an effort to reduce sewer infrastructure along the river, on May 24, 2022, City Council approved the award of work order #CDMWR011 to CDM Smith, Inc. to provide engineering consulting services including, but not limited to, the preparation of design drawings and specifications, permitting, bidding assistance, and construction administration services to demolish the existing Bayview Lift Station (LS) and divert its sanitary sewer collection system to a new Seminole LS. Due to the change in depth required to re-route the sewer from the Bayview lift station, the Seminole lift station must be replaced. The Seminole lift station was last renovated in 2011 and construction of the new lift station would consist of upgraded infrastructure, a retaining wall and shoreline restoration. Member Moscoso asked staff to explain the $2,000,000 grant that was received for this project and how much of that grant was spent. Assistant Public Works Director Ashleigh Smith stated that the grant was a federal resiliency grant associated with the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 initiatives. She explained that the project was not fully grant-funded and that approximately $1.75 million in grant funding remained. She further stated that the majority of the construction costs were funded by the City.
