>> Thank you very much. In lie of an invocation, we will hold a moment of silence, please. Thank you very much. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic
for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you very much, executive director. >> Yes, sir. We have one set of minutes to approve. >> Thank you very much. Member Nelson.
>> Move to approve the minutes of the CRA January 13, 2026. >> Second. >> I have a motion by member Nelson. I have a second by Vice Chair Cole. Is there any 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, members of the board. We have a relatively light agenda on the CRA board this evening. The first item is special recognitions and presentations.
6A is crime prevention through environmental design and our code enforcement personnel will give a presentation on uh these types of actions and no action is requested. >> I think you're both familiar with our code officers. They are May Wright and
Megan Lorentio. They have been the brainchilds of all of the the cool things that you've seen going on the um activity in the CRA and in our parks. >> Good evening, chair and vice chair and board. Um >> can you step forward just a little bit?
>> Sure. Sorry, I'm a little soft spoken. There we go. Um so my name is Megan. This is May. We attended the Florida Attorney General's Florida Crime Prevention Training Institute in 2021 and 2024. And during
those trainings, we were able to get our SEPTED practitioner designation and our crime prevention practitioner designation. So today, we're going to go over a little bit about what Sept is, how we use it at the city, and how it is a real benefit to the community.
So again uh SEPTED is um crime prevention through environmental design and what that means is the proper design and effective use of the built environment that reduces the perception or fear of crime incidence of crime and
improves the quality of life. All right. So as septed practitioners uh the question we often ask ourselves is how does the physical environment u make us feel safe or make us feel fearful of crime and I'm going to give you a couple
examples of bad subad and good subad. So in this example we kind of have a uh a lot of bad things that are going on. There's a light island. There's inadequate lighting. There's an ambush zone underneath the stairway. and
there's a concealment area um next to the stairway. There's also a lack of general maintenance. So, this would make any user feel kind of uncomfortable and unsafe. And in this example, we have several good examples of SEPTAD incorporated
principles. We have fencing that allows for natural surveillance, so people could see in, they could see out. We have transition zones, which kind of identify public, semi-public, and private spaces. We have territorial reinforcement, which is just showing
pride of place. We have um adequate lighting and natural surveillance. People probably feel that they're being watched and that they can see who's who's looking at them in this space. So again, the goals of SEPTED are to
decrease the opportunities for crime, enhance quality of life, mitigate risk, and reduce potential losses on the property. And we do that with the the five main goals of Sept. The first is natural surveillance. That's the basic
can I be seen? um the placement of physical features, lighting, um just max visibility for individuals using um a space. And then you've got territorial reinforcement. Do I know who owns the
space I'm entering into? And that can be a a show of ownership by uniform landscaping, signage, um usement, usement of uh pavement or other decoratorial features to tie the
um development together. You've got natural access control. How do people move through a space? So, are people walking into a space? Are they driving into it? When they park, do they know where they're going? Do they know where to walk? Where the front of the building
is when they get in a building? Do they know where they go inside the building? [snorts] And then you've got social management is encouraging the correct use of a space and how do we generate those positive activities to engage those spaces and then fifth is
maintenance. And that's just the general care of our sites. >> All right. So, there is information on our website related to some of the services that we offer. I'm only going to go over two of them today. We offer residential security surveys which are
intended for residential properties and it's basically like classic target hardening. We go in, we determine what is already in place as far as security is concerned and then we give recommendations of what could be improved and um we write a letter and
provide that to the homeowner. A septed site survey is a lot more holistic approach. So we really look at where the property is, what the demographics of the area are. Essentially a big picture view of the entire property and the site and then we go through advantages,
challenges, and we give recommendations. We do a daytime survey, a nighttime survey, and we provide a lighting survey with recommendations on what should be um maintained and if there are any lights that aren't working. All right. And we have created a story
map which pretty much goes over everything that we went over today in a little bit of a more interactive format. So if you scan the QR code, you're able to review the story map. You're allowed you're you can report properties that may need a SEPTA assessment or that you
feel may be unsafe within the city. And then we'll reach out to the property owners and see if they're interested. and it has all of our contact information as well as the same services forms and links to the same services I mentioned in the
previous slide. [clears throat] So, one thing we also offer is we do a basic SEPTA headed training. um we go in a a longer presentation than we're doing here and we also have a group activity so individuals that take the class can
kind of apply it to a hypothetical site survey and kind of implement some of the goals of SEPTED and we're just going to highlight so under social management we are doing positive activity generators and we're trying to bring um people into our parks
here in the CRA um so we've We've got our moon party coming up at the end of February. It's Saturday the 28th. Um we are going to have telescopes there. We're going to have um several different um groups
there uh with handouts and activities. And then we also have at Blandon Park on March 14th uh we're doing a popup in the park. Um, we are doing a free helmet giveaway and um, fittings. We are going
to have a static display of some of our um, vehicles from the police department and we're going to do it right there at Blandon Park. [snorts] So, thank you for your time today. If you guys have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Um, and we'll take
any questions now. Uh, first I want to say thank you on behalf of not only the CRA board but city council for all you guys do to to make our community safer. I know you guys take a very proactive approach into making our community a great place. I did have a question about I know you
guys did a pop-up at the park at Woof. Was that well attended? How'd that go? >> How many I So I think we did um nine helmet fittings but there were a lot of I feel like there were a lot of families, a lot of people passing through. We were there for two hours, so we
probably had maybe 20 25 people. >> I was just curious. I wasn't able to make that event, but I wanted to know how it went. I think Bland, you'll you'll probably see even more than at WoF, so that'll be good. And then how many businesses or homeowners have you
guys uh done the sept analysis with? >> So, primarily uh we've been working a lot with the city. We're working on a big project with parks and wreck right now. So, we're kind of those have been our primary focuses, but we've also we have a meeting tomorrow for a property.
I would say that we've probably done every year a handful, but I think people are just starting to learn about it. I don't think they understood that we were providing this as a complimentary service and I think that's important for me to mention. It's complimentary and it's confidential. >> Awesome. Thank you very much and you
know hopefully we can get help get the word out there so more people use your services. Thank you guys. >> All right. Thank you, >> executive director. >> Yes, sir. We have no old business under ADA, new business, the installation of
an International Space Station commemorative pylon at Space View Park. And the action is to approve the request by the American Space Museum to plan and install an additional commemorative pylon recognizing the ISS contributors
at Space View Park. and Sue Williams is here to give some details on that project. >> Good evening. Gabriel was not able to be here. He is the executive director of the American Space Museum. This is basically a continuence. You we all see the pylons right at Space View Park.
It's getting a lot more activity uh because we are sprucing it up and and using it which um the solar lights are coming next for Gemini Park. So that should be soon. But so this is just a natural progression and American Space Museum called and said, you know, they just wanted to ask permission to go
ahead. They're they're starting to fund raise. So there is no monetary um uh to the CRA on this. This is uh totally funded by by the American Space Museum fundraising. And I'm happy to answer any questions.
>> Is there any future maintenance associated with this item? I I was talking with the parks and recck department of the county and not not really the the maintenance of these are are very very little. >> All right. I don't see any further city
clerk. >> Uh there's one card San Johnston. >> Thank you. >> Member Nelson. >> In that case I'd move to approve the installation of the commemorative pylon at Space View Park.
>> Second. I have a motion by member Nelson, a second by Vice Chair Cole. All those in favor say I. I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. Thank you very much. Executive director.
>> Sir, next item is item nine, petitions. >> All right, we are on the last item for the CRA meeting, the 5:30 meeting, which is petitions and requests from the public non-aggenda items for the CRA board. Again, city council is at 6:30.
This is the CRA board. Any petitions and requests? >> I see Mr. Johnson. I'm assuming you're coming up here, right? >> I might be the only one. So, uh, the city, my name is Stan Johnson,
and I'm in involved with a number of, uh, of criticisms that the city is doing big time. And so, I want to, uh, [snorts] enumerate a few of these these uh, violations of law by the city, and
they're very serious. They cost lots of money. And uh as a professional engineer, I challenge you to get a professional engineer to dispute my findings of cities negligence, dishonesty, fraud, false reports.
So, [snorts] uh I'll do it in a form of a prayer. Lord, [snorts] I pray for the council. I pray for wisdom and also for the CRA, of course. And uh I pray that that uh [snorts] justice will be done and truth will be done. In this case,
I've asked a number of questions uh of city council. What is the purpose of the large culberts on 995? No, no response. [snorts] I've asked the question, what why are almost all canals and ditches that drain storm water from Titusville to the St. John's River not been
maintained for over 50 years? And I asked the question, what is the purpose of numerous dams throughout our city? I also asked the the final question I ask you is is how in the world the [snorts] city of Titusville
continues the council continues regardless of what this TEC says what uh my uh other prof professionals are there's about 40,000 professional engineers that I'm I'm having that you're disputing and that that is
spraying people with with piss and poop [snorts] when when we have a a sewage spill and they and this leaving this leaving this leaving the fountains turned on. So this is horrible
for the health of the of our of our individuals here in the city and I just pray that you will wake up and uh I know that Ms. [clears throat] Muscoso is is is for turning them off but the rest of you have have not made that decision
that uh especially Mrs. Nelson who swears that that it's okay according to FD but it's not okay. So Lord, I just pray I pray that our our people will be protected protected from the the neglect
and dishonesty of our city council. And I have this Amen. And I have this right here that I think I'm going to required me to sit down. Is that right? Okay. I have to sit down. So, I have these these are this is what was a uh
showing at I95 and so forth. So, I'll sit down because I'm supposed to. >> That's the end. 7 seconds left. >> Appreciate it. [snorts] >> All right. >> Petitions and requests from the public, non-aggenda items for the CRA. If seeing
none, we'll adjourn to um a regular city council meeting at 6:30. Can I have a motion to adjurnn? So moved. >> We'rejourned. See you guys at 6:30.
