America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you very much. Tonight is a very special evening as uh we get to do something that doesn't happen very
often, which is um introduce a new member of our CRA board uh to which we're all excited to to serve with you. Um Mr. Mutter, would you please come forward? You push the but Yep. button on the mic and uh raise your right hand and read the oath of office, please.

That I am entitled to hold

>> Thank you. >> Thank you very much. And uh now I'd like to invite you to come up here and join us. >> Thank you. Well, I'm glad we had a corn before. Now, now we do as well. Um, member Stokal informed me that she is traveling
back from work. She'll be here for the 6:30 meeting, but could not attend uh the 5:30. Uh, with that being said, member Nelson >> move to approve the minutes of the regular CRA meeting, November 11th, 2025.
>> Second. >> I have a motion and I have a second. Any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you very much, executive director. >> Good evening, Mr. Chairman, vice
chairman, and members of the board. >> We have no special recognitions and presentation. So, moving on to old business. We have two items. The first one is uh continuing contract task order number nine with Kimley Horn
for the Trailtown Amenity Strategic Master Plan. And the recommended action is to approve the contin to recommend to the city council to approve the continuing consultant contract task order number nine with Kimling Horn an amount not to exceed $40,000
to provide consulting services for the development of a comprehensive trail amenities master plan and authorize the city manager to execute the task order. And we have our CRA planner Sue Williams is here to answer any of your questions you may have on this item. Actually,
your first two items are regarding the trail amenities. This is the first one. This deals with the uh property that's in the CRA. Um the initial trail Yeah, the initial trail amenities strategic plan is located within the CRA district. A separate nonCRA funding source will be
required to support the portion of the project extending to Maine and Garden Streets as this lies outside the CRA boundaries. At September 9th, the community redevelopment meeting, the board approved the development um approved of the development of a trail
town amenities strategic master plan. And in accordance with the existing continuing consultant contract for professional consulting services, the firm of Kennley Horn provided a proposal which is in your packet. It lists the
scope of work, the deliverables, and um and I believe a timeline. So I'm here to answer any questions. Thank you, Miss Sue. >> CRA
member MSCoso. >> Thank you. Um, I noticed on on page nine it says that we're going to be evaluating the consistency of the 2022 community redevelopment plan and the 2018 um, master plan. The 2018 master
plan, is that outdated at all or is that information accurate in order for us to It was developed in 2018 through public engagement. So, it's basically a trail and a and a pedestrian plan. Um, if the council believes it needs to be updated, we
>> Oh, I'm not sure. I was just curious because it is quite an old plan if um if that would change things if we've looked at it recently to see if there are any changes. Um yeah, I when we look at this when we look at this develop the strategic plan um again it was basically
a request to you um to try to come up with a strategic plan on trail amenities because we were getting various requests from you. We believe that it probably better to have something more comprehensive. We're going to compare it what we come up with with that plan to
see if there's something that need that aligns with it >> or maybe we'll come back to you with a recommendation to say that that 2018 plan needs to be updated. >> Okay. Okay. Thank you, >> Member Nelson. >> So, can you remind me what the timeline
is? >> Didn't we >> for the strategic for the amenities plan? Well, I think the scope of work was we were going to complete this just in just a few months. >> That's right. >> But then >> yeah, >> you could use it at any time to
determine what how you want to budget for the next year few years based on that plan on what you select out of it as to um in order to complete. >> So how what is the timeline for completing the plan not actually implementing it?
>> Oh, I see. We supposed to complete this in a few months. >> Yeah, four months. Oh, okay. >> City clerk. There's one card. Tony Shel Tropic Street near the bike trail. It's a nice thing that you mentioned
about the dated 2018 preandemic survey with citizens because I came to speak tonight about there is no inclusion of opinions, ideas, or concerns from the bicycle community. I'm all for a study by Kimley Horn. Although
um I'm going to tell you a little story about it, but from the scope of work, they want to identify where to put the amenities such as wayfinding and signage and lighting and public art. Um resulting in a cohesive framework, I'm
quoting that promotes an active connected downtown environment. additional services additional to the $40,000 that you're going to award them is public meetings. And I say again, there is no inclusion of opinions, ideas, or concerns from the
bicycle community. Yes, do a cohesive study, but have some new community input. I want to remind you from the April 8th, 2025 6:30 city council meeting where Kimley
Horn was going to be uh based on the December 8th, 2020 contract that was $84,490 um under a continuing service agreement. They were going to get $223,000 to develop uh a bike plan, which they
did. It was beautiful. We got it. It's it's the bicycle trail to nowhere along the Leyon, not connected to the bike trail, but down to Harrison. And the concerned citizens got wind of it because we were working with neighborhood services and the CDBG
money to develop what that community at that end of that community needed, which was sidewalks, which city council has has has provided and is going to happen. But we were able to save the two um 200 oh how many thousand? I lost track. I'm
sorry. But it was a oh $223,000 and we got lighting instead which we needed and not a bike trail to nowhere. And so I would like to recommend that you watch Kimley Horn because I've been watching them closely and I like them.
They're great for Winter Park in Orlando. That's where their vision is. that's what they think Titusville could be. I don't think so. I don't think that's what the citizens want. So do so, but have the caveat that they have
community engagement, new community information about from the bicyclists what we need, what we want, what they want, where they want the benches. You know, I don't ride long trail, but there's many people in this town that do. Talk to them. Again, thank you.
>> Thank you, M. Sho, city clerk. >> There's no more cards. >> Thank you very much. >> City council member Nelson. Sorry. >> One of the things I'd like to say, >> please have a seat.
>> Pardon? >> Please have a seat. >> I've got a card, you know. >> Okay. Well, we're already passed that. >> No, sir. He was handed to you. >> Please have a seat. >> Okay. You remove me. Please have a seat. You're interrupting member Nelson who
has the floor. >> When I looked at the bike path years ago, um, as a bike path heads toward Garden Street, we actually own a piece of property on the bike path and it used to
be the old city garage. So, I would like to see us be able to you utilize that property and come up with amenities along that way. Um,
it's just sitting there vacant. It's overgrown. Apparently, there are transients in it. There's prostitution, drug use. Um but if we cleaned it up and maybe made it a spot where bicyclists
could stop um take break before they come into town, it might be appropriate. So I would like to see a comprehensive plan. So, my recommendation is to approve the contract with Kimberly Horn um to
provide consulting services for a comprehensive trail amenities master plan. >> Is that a motion? >> That's a motion. And to authorize city manager to execute the task order. >> Is there a second? Can I can I add a
friendly amendment to include a a public engagement meeting because I mean if the last one was in 2018, it might be good to get some more input from the community. >> I would not have a heart attack over that. >> Oh, thank you. I'm glad. >> All right. So, I have a motion.
>> I'll second. >> I have a motion and I have a second uh for further discussion. Um, I think it'd be good to engage Pete Pedock, um, who's on the Space Coast TPO trails
committee, uh, who actually represents us on that committee. And, um, I'm trying to remember the guy's name off the top of my head that is a part of the Greenway Trails Coalition. I was actually just searching my email trying to figure out remember his name off the top of my head, but I'll get his
information to you, Miss Sugs. I think uh uh that would be an important bit of information as we we move forward and and talk about you know community engagement and having a meeting but those folks that ride trails that talk trails you know 90% of their day I think
are whose brains we we need to pick um so I have a motion and I have a second Mr. Johnson, before we voted, I'm calling you up so that you can have your card. Okay. But when somebody else has the floor, we don't interrupt. But you have
the floor now. Uh, thank you. My name is Stan Johnson. You have my two cards there, which gives my identification, so forth. Uh what's happening is that uh uh I'm not pleased with what Kimley Horn
has done recently. I say recently in the last few years is they did a a um study of the parking in uh availability of parking and uh and whether to do a
parking garage and so forth. And uh they missed they missed at least uh on all these parking spaces that are right behind city hall that are available and that are on in the rightway and our grass missed the mall. Mr. Mall it was
pretty bad and they also uh what what has happened and that's over 30 parking spaces right there. And then then uh in the area of Space View Park is that the improvements there have
greatly reduced the parking spaces there. And across the street across Indian River Avenue, there must be at least 50 parking spaces, over 50 parking spaces that have been removed because of these new concrete medians and so forth.
So I find it ridiculous for us to consider things like what has been proposed and that is for example and I guess it's now at least over $8 million parking garage and and it's and I I'm going to say it's as far as I'm concerned it's Kimley Horn's fault their
negligence. >> Mr. Johnson that is not on topic. >> Kimley Horn is what we're talking about a contract with Kimley Horn and >> I'm saying what is the contract for? It's for them to do work for the city. I I'm I I don't think we should do any
more work for with for Kimley Horn for what they've done. That as far as I'm concerned, it was been better have done if it if their study was done by the staff. >> Okay, that's all I wanted to add. Thank you very much. Thank you, Connor. >> All right. So, we have a motion and a second. All those in favor say I.
>> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. Thank you very much. Executive director. >> Yes, sir. The uh next item is a a related to 7A and that's to look at the scope of work for trail amenity strategic master
plan and the recommended action is to review and approve or revise the three scenarios for the main street extension scope of work for areas outside of the CRA. And Sue Williams is here to answer any questions. again.
>> Yes, this is the second part of the the trail amenities that is outside of the CRA and the staff is recommending the consultant should develop a separate concept plan for each of those three scenarios and that's what we're asking
for either to review and approve or any revisions. >> Thank you very much, Miss Sue. And just to remind everybody, you know, we kind of talked about while this was only in the CRA, we were wanted to kind of a comprehensive overhaul of that for uh
segments outside of the CRA. Um, so in conversations with Mr. Parish, we also talked about the property owned by FEC and how that would be an ideal location for a trail head, but that
might be tough. >> Really tough. >> Really tough. Uh but I I think it's it's worth having a conversation uh with them and and seeing what we we could get done. Um and that's something hopefully uh council is up for for exploring uh to
see if it is possible. Um because I think that would tie everything together very very nicely as people come in, bike around, and it'll also provide a great open space for our residents. So, it's kind of my thoughts, but member Nelson,
>> I'm just going to say I tried to get him to court with a subpoena and it never worked. Didn't matter. So, good luck, Brad. You got the patience of Job there.
Um, so I'm sort of confused. Okay. Scenario one is from Main Street from Dillion to the FC Railroad.
Correct. Correct. Okay. Scenario two is Blandon Street Parcel and I'm not quite sure where you're talking. >> Refer to page 23 of your packet. You'll see the map.
>> Well, hold up. >> That illustrates the three scenarios. So, when you brought this up to us, you asked us about that particular property the city owns. When we evaluated it, we decided it's so far away from the CRA, the connection is really Main Street and
Dillion and we since there were previous discussions about the FPC railroad property that we decided to present to you these three scenarios. So if you approve this then the consultant will look at all of this as if these were could be could include some amenities.
>> Okay. >> If you disagree with that then we'll just go with your initial request which included the Blandon Street property and the connection along Dion and Main Street into the CRA. So the scenario number two
is Blandon the extension to Leyon and Maine up to not quite the East Coast railro. >> Correct. So the scenario one is just Main Street only. >> Does not include the priv the properties
of FC the FC property or the city owned property. Scenario two includes the city owned property on Blandon Street including Main Street. And in scenario three is Main Street again, but the FC property. >> So if we want to do all three, make sure
I do this right. Then that is scenario two. >> Yeah. Well, if you do all three, what we're saying is we'll go to the consultant and ask them to utilize everything on this map on page 23 and come up with u amenities that
include everything. Basically, if you if you like all three scenarios, >> okay, >> that's a comp. So, choosing all three scenarios, it means we'll look at everything comprehensively, all these options you see on page 23 of your package. >> Got it. I was a little confused. >> Understood.
>> Thank you, Member Nelson. And to your point, while I do think that would be ideal, I don't know if looking at amenities for a property we don't have any control over is, you know, the right time. I think it would be great if we were in that position, but I'd hate for
us to waste time planning something that might not ever come to fruition. I think we should start with trying to see how we get access to the property and then look at for that specific particular piece of property. So, just make sure
I'm clear. You're talking about scenario one and two and not doing scenario three, which would be the FEC railroad. >> Yes. >> Correct. >> Yes. So, to do all three of them, you'd have to do scenario two and three, you
know, because that encompasses all the parcels we're talking about. Well, scenario one looks like it's Main Street up to the FC Railroad. >> This is main street only. It's not looking at any of the other adjacent properties.
>> So, if we said we wanted to do Main Street plus then it would be scenario one plus two. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Thank you, >> city clerk.
>> There's two cards. The first one is Stan Johnston. >> My name is Stan Johnson. You know, I've been here for uh over 54 years. And um my surprise is is that how this is these some of these things are done. We have
consultants come from out of town, not even very close to here. They're doing this work for us, which it seems like we have people here that know what's going on and know the city far better than Kimley Horn. So, I'm just saying what I just said from the last to last uh time
I just spoke here is that I just think Kim that we have people that are actually more qualified than Kimley Horn on staff to do a lot of this and uh from people who have been here, lived here for many years. That's all. Thank you. >> Thank you, sir. City clerk. The last
card is Tony Shel Tropic Street. I went out and rode that bike trail today. None of those none of those pictures in your map there. I don't have it memorized, but they don't really relate to the reality to the to the land truth. Was that what they say
when they go out and actually step on the land? I rode my bike. Um the problem that we're having is not from park and or de leon that far because the trail ends right there at at Canaveral and you
come down Canaveral and the problem is along Main Street that's that's the situation and I I understand that is not within the CRA boundaries but as you let Kimley Horn design your comprehensive
plan be sure that it's going to dovetail with what we can do over there. So, we're not asking you really, I guess, to vote on any of those plans, but to I this is where I would like to see Kimley Horn dream because they do have quite a
vision and I couldn't quite figure out unless the railroad decided to give us that property how we could really do it. maybe bogs the gas because the trail and if you look at the map, their fence is curved along back there. Maybe they
could give us enough right of way inside, move their fence back and you could continue the trail then at least over to um that little jog and then there's just a short piece along Main Street that you paint the street green.
My husband says all you need is green paint. So, um, and he rides around a lot, too. So, um, listen to the bikers and look at look at what they think and let Kimley Horn dream about what possibly could be done, especially if we
can't get the railroad to cooperate. They're not cooperating with the historic preservation board, you know, about the railroad station. They didn't cooperate with the theater about renting the parking lot for extra parking spaces for
theater nights. They don't cooperate about quiet zones. Remember when I brought my whistles in? Two long, one short, one long. Thank you. So I think it's interesting with the the
railroad because you know they have as an organization not just this one but collectively the railroads have enough power they got the president of the United States to break a federal railroad worker strike. So yes they're playing it a way different game than we are but um hopefully with connections
and relationships we can uh see what what we can do there. But I I would be hard for us to say let's let's fund something to design something that that we don't know if we're going to ever have that ability to do. So, um with that being said, I'm not seeing any
other discussion. Um board, >> I do I do have one question. Um, would it be easier to design it in-house to do the work inhouse?
>> Just we sought the assistance of a landscape architect to help us with this because they best know what kind of amenities um to associate with a trail or sidewalk. >> Um, they have the most experience with. That's why we defer to them. went that
way. Okay. So, my motion would be to re review and approve scenario one and two for the Main Street extension scope of work. I think I said
that right. >> And city- own Bllandon. >> Yeah, that includes the city own. >> Second. >> I have a motion and I have a second. And uh one other name I forgot to to mention was Missrum at the TPO who's very
involved in uh the trails and the big master plan trails of working in the south end of the county. Uh because there could be funds available from from that that bucket that might be able to help us get across the finish line as we look at planning this out. So I have a motion. I have a second. Any further
discussion from the board? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. Thank you very much, Mr. your executive director. >> Yes, sir. Next item under new business is for the comm commercial beautifification grant application
and the recommended action is to approve one grant request for several buildings located at 206 South Hopkins Avenue. And attached uh for the board's review is an application for a beautifification grant from the First United Methodist
Church of Titusville to assist in the painting of the buildings located at 206 South Hopkins in the downtown community redevelopment area. And the applicant is proposing to paint several buildings to uh replace fascia and also sophets. And
Sue Williams can give further detail on on this request. Um, this project is located at 206 South Hopkins Avenue and 213 Palm Avenue within the downtown subdist of the CRA. There's a total of four buildings and Mark Kendrick on behalf of the First
United Church of Titusville is applying to paint and repair um or replace fascia. Painting is an eligible expense as part of a more comprehensive improvement project. The fascia is also
an eligible expense as part of more extensive project improvements. Painting when not associated with the other improvements is an ineligible expense. The applicant's proposed scope of work which includes painting and the repair of fascia is classified as maintenance
under the CRA exterior beautifification grant. These activities preserve the building's appearance and condition, but they do not constitute restoration. While the work is eligible for funding, it is evaluated within the category of routine maintenance and aesthetic enhancement rather than restoration. The
total cost of the low bid for these improvements is $85,520, $520. The total amount of the reimburseable grant is 50% of that total. So, it would be $42,760. Um, and I'm here to answer any other
questions you may have. Uh the cap of any grant is 50,000 that that we currently have in our policies and procedures. >> Thank you very much, Miss Sue. City clerk, are there any cards? >> There's two cards. Uh the first one is
Mark Kendrick. >> Thank you. I'm here to answer any questions that you may have about this application. I'm not seeing any. >> It was pretty self-explanatory. I mean, we paint or we don't. >> Thank you,
>> city clerk. >> The last card is Stan Johnston. >> I'm Stan Johnson. I'm here to speak in favor of this because uh although it's a lot of money is that that's what exactly other businesses
have been doing in the CRA and to follow uh what has it is consistent with what the CI city council or excuse me I'm sorry the CRA has done before previously time and time again over the last many
years. Thank you. >> Thank you Mr. Mr. Johnson, city clerk, is there any other cards? >> There's no other cards. >> All right. Thank you. I was just confirming. Member Mscoso. >> Sorry. I I just want to make sure I heard you correctly. The the painting is not covered >> or typically it's not.
>> Painting alone is not covered. Okay. If painting is done and the way it's worded in our policies and procedures is if it's if it's done with a a larger more comprehensive project. >> And then the fascia is also the same way.
So what's the larger project? >> Pardon me. >> I mean what's the larger project that we're >> Well, the reasoning behind this is that painting is using the fascia as an as as the other project. >> Okay. >> And the fascia is utilizing the painting
as the other project. >> Okay. Have we have other businesses done this as well? >> I was looking back in the grants and I didn't see one that did just painting and fascia. Um, we've done roofs and then there's been painting involved, but
there was usually something something more. I'll give you the an example. The museum, uh, they they did some painting. However, they had water damage. They had damage to their awnings. Um, and so
there was more to it. Same with um, cava roots cava on garden. That before and after is pretty phenomenal. Um, they took a truly blighted building and they painted, but they also applied stucco and replaced windows and things of that
nature. >> Thank you, >> member Stokele. >> Yes, that was also my clarifying question. So, if this application were to come before us as they just wanted to paint their building, we would probably deny it. because they're fixing
structural things such as the sophets and the fascia, the painting can be a part of that because those are changing as well. >> And so it's it's recommended for approval because of that. Okay. Thank you, >> member Nelson. >> And I got to say they do a lot downtown.
They've done it or food banks when you know there were no SNAP benefits. Um they've got the community garden. So my motion would be to approve the grant request. >> Second.
>> I have a motion and I have a second. Haha. Vice Chair Cole. Um I just had one topic for discussion and that is 150 years. It's how long this church has been serving the citizens of Titusville.
>> 150 years. So yeah, >> actually just slightly younger than the vice chair, but >> I was going to >> I was going to say that. >> You know, I again >> elder abuse >> speaking on behalf of, you know, the
citizens of Titusville. Thank you guys for everything you guys do for our community. We truly truly um appreciate it. Um and so I think this could definitely help you guys continue to keep up the the building for sure
because it is an old building. So, um, one other question I did have is in all the pots that we have for for grants, like what is that that total? How much do we have available for grants that are kind of just sitting there? >> Um, in fiscal year 2026, 110,000.
>> Okay. Thank you. So, there's a motion and there's a second. Any further discussion? All right. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. Thank you very much, guys. >> Thank you, >> executive director.
>> Yes, sir. The next item is item nine, petitions and requests. >> All right. Petitions are request from the public non-aggenda items for the CRA meeting. >> Mr. Johnson, I'm assuming you want to go first. >> Uh, my name is Stan Johnson. You've had
these two cards here. Uh and what I have done is I spoke at the at the last council meeting. This is the same thing I spoke about the last council meeting I had and and u uh this is also involves everybody and I've also spoken on Breard
Bard News and I just today I spoke to St. John's River Waterman District in Palacta on this same issue and that has to do with this pink card which I've given you before and on this I've written asked in 1985
and I think you're familiar with with that particular question. Uh I'm going to read it to you in in a little bit different here. Here's the question is how can anyone legally construct a dam immediately downstream of homes already in the 100-year flood
plane? And so today I I took that to to St. John's. And then I I said, I'm I'm going to offer you instead of $50, which I offered you, I offered them $1,000 for any uh anyone who can get a a
professional engineer who who doesn't have dementia to disagree with me that this is what I'm saying is it's totally illegal. So, uh, if you remember the last time I said this to you, I said that your your inability to get a PE to
answer respond to that question is, you remember what I said? It's an admission of guilt. Let me say that again. It's an admission of guilt. And we're talking about millions of dollars. We have I want some people raise their
hand who have been flooded. Uh, that's in there. Okay. There's a few right there. And they've been flooded. I didn't know this. This is a This is maybe bad news or good news. They've been flooded three times since these since these new dams have been built in 2012. Three times. And it completely
disagrees with the calculations that you have that the city has approved for the flood planes. Complete disagreement. I want you to know in Baker's subdivision, what we have now is continued destruction of the pavement by
raising the water table. If we had septic tanks there, you would you would destroy the d the uh dis, you know, the the drain field. I'm talking about millions of dollars, just this one thing. So, I want you all
to think about it. And uh uh uh here are some people that need relief. Their homes have been flooded three times since 2012. That's what they tell me. And whose fault is it? It's not God's fault. It's the city of Titusville. Your
guys, it's your fault. And this this goes back to 1985. The question was asked over 40 years ago. Same answer I get is silence. Thank you.
petitions and requests from the public. Anybody else? Seeing none, >> member Nelson, >> I do have a petition or request coming down Indian River Avenue. I noticed that
there is not a crossing designated crossing between Space View Park and the park across the street. And I know we didn't put it in the budget,
but maybe midy year could we look at doing a crossing there because there's going to be a lot of people walking back and forth during the launches during Artemis.
So that is my request and that's not something to vote on. is just something that I'm asking that we sort of keep in the back of our minds. >> Thank you, Member Nelson. And as you were saying that, I was thinking about it because, you know, drive that way
quite a bit and I think there is a crosswalk just north of the bank. For some reason, there was people crossing there. Maybe that's why I'm thinking that. Like, I saw people crossing and I stopped and waited for them. Uh, but for some reason, I thought there was a crosswalk. But, um, maybe that's something they can include in the
Broad Street plan. Yeah, >> as they look at um what we're doing there because that's right up against that that park. >> Um so then hopefully it wouldn't be nothing, you know, necessarily extra while they're out there working. >> Yeah. While they're we're doing multiple things. Remember Mscoso?
>> Um this is on a different topic, but it is CRA related. Um, we received an email and Sue, I don't know if you received it and it was from some business owners in downtown and they were discussing that and I and I emailed them back and I said that I would be happy to bring it up.
Um, but they were discussing how they felt like they weren't included in some of the planning that's going on and how it's affecting their business. I don't know, I think everybody here got it. So, I just wanted to open it up for discussion just to see um I think one of them was an event going on this weekend
and so they had to cancel um some appointments and so I don't know if that's something with the chamber or that's um on us as well. But um how are we communicating with um the businesses so that when we have events and you know and I think it's exciting that we are having more events. I think it's a great
thing um and it may be communicated. I just wanted to address this email so we didn't forget about it. So, I don't know if anyone has any thoughts or any questions about it. Um, Sue, if you have any anything you could add to it. It's in the code for special events that
the applicant is to contact the surrounding neighbors, businesses, wherever that event may be. Um, and that that was done. Um, I understand that some people was not aware. I know that I personally also go down and tell people
about it and once it's approved, we the city can advertise those events, especially if they're in the CRA. So, we'll put them up on our LED signs. We'll put them out on social media and things of that nature. So, the ones that I know said that they did not know about
it, I had gone down personally about two weeks ago and advised some of them. Um, I what I can do now is just make sure that they always get routed on on the on the email. As long as they don't unsubscribe, they'll get it.
