Good evening, Mr. Chairman, members of the board. We have a relatively light agenda this evening. The first item under old business is 7A safety cameras for the welcome center. And the recommended action is to approve the 4K resolution safety camera package and the
Flock safety integration gateway wing camera for the welcome center not to exceed $7,500. And we have both Sue Williams, RV development planner, and Commander Wright from TPD here to answer any questions you may have on that item. Thank you very
much. Member Nelson, question. Sue, what are the possibilities of adding a camera for Scobby Park? We're going to take these one at a time because as you see from the report, it took several meetings when you've got, you know, it
public works, CRA there and and so getting us all together. So, there will be coming before you. Actually, the next one is going to be the commons. Okay. Okay. Because there there's an issue down there. Hello one. Thank you, Member Nelson. Any further questions?
Okay. Seeing none. Can I have a motion? Move to approve the 4K resolution safety camera package and flock safety integration gateway wing camera for the welcome center. Second. I have a motion. I have a second. City clerk, are there
any cards on this matter? There's no cards. Thank you. All those in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. Thank you very much, executive director. Yes, sir. The next item under new business is uh the main street program and this is just an
advisability to direct the executive director to report back to the CRA after research and findings related to reestablishing the city's main street district. And again, Sue Williams is here to answer any questions. Thank you very much. Executive Director Sue, is
there anything you want to highlight? No, sir. If you have questions, I would try and answer them. However, like the city man as interim city manager said, this is uh requesting advisability to research. Thank you. Uh Miss Williams, member
Ball, I'm I'm all in favor of of having u staff go explore this. I think um and my if my memory is correct, we did have a main street previously and Dr. acre will remember that and um you know we
went through all the hoops to get it and we may have even gotten the grant which I think is a one-time grant but you can invest in investigate that but I would only suggest if staff goes forward with this we approve it that you that you take a look at at why that program
wasn't sustained what happened was it lack of uh I know I I believe one issue was the the lack of funds to be able to pay for full-time director and just wasn't enough behind it in the especially in the downtown. So, um not
to say that it's not a great idea to to go try again, but I would I would take a look at what happened. We'll do. Thank you, Member Ball. Member Akre, can you give a just a brief overview of what happened or what what we're
looking of of what it is and okay, why we want to pursue it. Okay. So the Main Street program is a Florida program and a and a national program and it's got four major points to it. First one being um is the economic development and a lot of this is based upon historic downtowns
and that's one reason why we want to research it. There's a couple ways that um the program works in different communities. That's what we're trying to reach out to other other communities to see what's what they're doing and any recommendations. I have received a
couple of recommendations and to see which way works. Some of them the main street program is underneath the umbrella of the CRA. Um, keep in mind if that's the way then they would be in sunshine. Um and then there there is there are several that are independent
501c3s and then there is someone a staff person whether it's CRA, economic development, uh city manager that serves on that board. And what I'm what I'm finding out is that the the beauty of a main street is because because of the
historic and it also makes it easier to execute more of the CRA plan is what I'm hearing. So that's the reason we want to to look into it and research it and we want to make sure there's not duplications process. So that's does that help you out Mr. Akre? Dr. Ager.
Yeah. Thank you. Overview. Thank you. Thank you, Member Akre. Member Nelson, I love the idea. I loved it before when we had it and I think now with more businesses downtown, it will be even
more successful. So, I totally support this idea. Thank you, Member Nelson. Any other questions? All right, then I'll entertain a motion for advisability, please. I'll get to you, city clerk.
I know. I was going to take the motion and I was going to call Kurt. Uh move to direct the executive director to report back to the CRA research and findings related to reestablishing the city's main street district. Second. I have a
motion. I have a second. City clerk, any cards? Yep. There's two cards. The first one's Tony Shifflo. I thought you were going to forget me. No, I would never. Shel Historic Norwood House Florida Main Street is a technical
assistance program with the goal of revitalizing historic downtowns and encouraging economic development within the context of historic preservation. It works where existing assets such as older and historic buildings and local independent
businesses can be leveraged. It encourages communities to take steps to enact long-term change while implementing shortterm inexpensive and placebased activities that attract
people to the commercial core and create a sense of enthusiasm and momentum about their community. That's kind of like supporting the arts. Stokele, Miss Stokel. Economic vitality focuses on capital incentives and other financial
tools to assist new and existing businesses and creates a supportive environment for entrepreneurs and innovators that drive local economies. Promotional events position the downtown commercial district as the center of the
community and a hub of economic activity while creating a positive showcase for our community's unique historic characteristics. Here again is a way the city can support the arts without directly costing you money. Although it
escapes me why any town would not want to support the arts and culture. A main street program creates a strong foundation for sustainable revitalization effort including cultivating public private partnerships, grassroots community
involvement, and identifying resources such as grants for the district. Program advantages include technical assistance, grant opportunities, and statewide basic Main Street training from the state and
the national organization. Certified local governments, which we are, and Main Street programs collaborate and complement one another in Florida under the Bureau of Historic Preservation. Therefore, your historic
preservation board should be involved in this process. Remember last summer when I got to go to um represent the historic preservation board of the 2024 National Alliance of Preservation Commissions, I
attended a workshop on Florida main streets and came away with many ideas and strong encouragement from the Florida Main Street executive director to reinstitute the Titusville Main
Street program. As a citizen advocate for the arts and historic preservation, I am very much in favor of Titusville rejoining the Florida Main Street program. And I have um Thank you, Miss Tony. I know. I was just going to tell
you the other places in Bard that have it. I appreciate it. Thank you. City clerk. Stan Johnson. Uh Stan Johnson, registered engineer, former employee of the city of Titusville. And uh uh uh I see a lot of
things that are going wrong, and I've even sent you emails that you haven't responded to. But uh on this particular item is I think about revitalization of our historic downtown and some things that we've done in history that we can't that you're that seems like you're
fighting us. You're just fighting us. for example, uh, on Indian River Avenue is they put all these like medians. Well, I don't want to say I call them mediums, but we can't do parking there anymore like we had when we had the Indian River Festival, when we had we
had a a big swim fest and so forth. So, uh, our history includes history includes what happened, uh, in 2020, the, um, uh, spraying spreading spraying women, children, and babies with sewage.
Mr. Johnson, please stay on topic of the main street program. I believe this main street program should look at the crimes that city has sitted has has um committed uh and and not only that is children played in those those ponds
filled with sewage sewage spilled and the city did nothing about it the fire did nothing about it stay on topic of the main street program Mr. Congress, I want to advise you. I want you to stay on topic. I'm talking about what's going on in the CRA. Then you don't respond to my phone
calls. You don't respond to my emails. You don't respond to to uh talking to me. So, you want to talk to me here, but you won't talk to me in person. So, expect me to continue to to be at this meeting. And again, again, I'm going to ask you to respond. You don't respond.
Closed doors. That's what I get here. So maybe maybe what you uh you should do historically is but put up some doors outside. Closed doors because this is what you guys doing historically for the last what 15 years. Closed doors. Well,
since 2014 when your last city manager was here. Nothing but closed doors. So historically you guys suck. So uh keep that in mind and uh please respond. Thank you. Thank you. I didn't take my all my three minutes. I appreciate that.
Um, okay. So, no more cards. Any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. All opposed. Motion carries unanimously. Thank you very much, executive director. Yes, sir. Next item is uh 8B, a budget amendment for the CRA landscape improvements. And the
recommended action is to approve budget amendment for $44,646 to create a new project CR2502 landscape improvements and fund from project CR2204 landscape improvements US1. And basically what this project is, it it
transfers the money from a landscape project along US1 to a more uh wider area within the CRA. And uh Sue is here to answer any questions. Thank you very much, executive director. Any questions for Miss
Sue? Seeing none to the clerk, are there any cards on this matter? There's one card. Stan Johnston. Uh Stan Johnson, a professional engineer and a professional land surveyor, former employee of the city of Titusville. And
um I do not like what you're doing with even landscaping improvements. Uh the city has uh has had problems, big problems. Uh and and I've even given you a list of violations of laws that you don't respond to.
I'm disappointed in what this committee is doing. I think that if we go to court, I've I told I' I've explained to you that that uh there's going to be testimony against you guys for violations of laws now. So So I'm not
going to spend much more time on this, but in particular, I think that that you're wasting your time on things that you should be taking care of some other business. So this business that about what what the laws that the city is
breaking in the CRA are more important than than uh just forgetting about him. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Any other cards? City clerk. There's no other cards. Thank you. All right. I have a motion. Member Nelson. Move to
approve um the budget amendment for the CRA landscape improvements for to create new project CR2502. Second. I have a motion. I have a second. Any further discussion? All those in favor say I. I. Any opposed?
Motion carries unanimously. Thank you very much. On to petitions and requests from the public. Stan Johnston. Uh, and I'm here to speak about uh what I sent you. I sent you a um an email dated today and it has to do with um um photographic
proof photographic proof photographic proof of what the city of Tyville what the CRA is doing that he's illegal photographic proof right here it is and I don't know if you've read your
emails but I'm going to uh that was emailed today and the photographic proof right here the first the First photo up the top, it shows a fraud. This fraud continues today. Fraud by our city council and
including here our city attorney and our I used to be our city manager and and and it shows a sewage spray. It show sign of sewage spray which is this one right here upside down. Be
better if you see it. is is that what you're doing is this has never been solved. The thing is is is that you have admitted you have admitted this this has happened but you have not admitted that what that that
that it was wrongdoing what you did you wrongdoing the CRA did wrongdoing it's it's a horrible dirty deed done dirt cheap when you spray women children and babies with sewage you haven't admitted that it's a wrongdoing and what you should do is you
you should admit of what you've done. You should ask for forgiveness. Well, what else should you do? Well, admit what you done, ask for forgiveness is what you should do. But
you haven't done that. And so the crime continues. The crime continues today. And even back in last no October and November, Jolen Nelson announced again is that that's what we have. We have a policy that FD says it's okay to spray
women, children, and babies with sewage. And I've talked to Mr. Ball about it. He's he's fine with it. Talked to Mr. Connors about he's fine with it. Just the way it is. I got You guys are crooked. Really crooked. I don't know. When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Dishonesty, fraud. That's what you
guys are doing. And I'm here to protest against it. That's what I'm doing here right now. is that what you're doing is you're lying, you're cheating, and you're spraying women. You sprayed women, children, and babies with sewage. And I gave you a whole long list of of at least 17 17 diseases and pathogens
that that are in sewage, not to mention poisons. So, what do you do? You do the wrong thing. The city of Tyville is the only city, the only city in the world that sprays women, children, and babies deliberately with sewage. Only only city
in the world. I'm one. Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Did the yellow light go on? Thank you. I missed it. Sorry. Anybody else for petitions and requests? Seeing none, executive director. Yes, sir. Uh, moving on to the executive director's report. Um, it's a
listing of items that the staff is working on forformational purposes. I did want to bring to your attention one item that we'd like uh the board to act on is that uh we have uh found out that we've closed out the CR6005 trail
amenities project and um we have $98,527 left. Now, we can either allow this money to roll over into next year or we believe that we found a a bonafideed need for that money. And that would be to take a look at the maintenance at Space View Park because
uh we've had some concerned citizens and and and others have said that the park is falling into somewhat of a state of disrepair. Um for example, the handprints are on a base that's getting ready to collapse. Um, there's some tarnishing on the monuments and also it
probably needs some additional lighting, maybe updating it to LED lighting. So, those are all items and I've been working with Jeff Davis to come up with a spend plan. Uh, we don't have the spend plan yet for you, but we'd like to go ahead and get uh the board's approval to um spend some staff time to work with
the county, come up with spend plan for your approval to basically put $98,000 into that great park. Thank you, executive director. I know I for one have been having a lot of meetings about, you know, how we can improve that area. Um, I think whatever
this board decides to do in terms of helping them address that that need, uh, we just need to have an ironclad contract next time of who's responsible for maintaining. Uh, because I had a contract dropped off on my desk today saying we're responsible for everything,
but it wasn't signed. Uh, so it's like, okay, we need to make sure we iron this out going forward in the future. So that those are my comments and thoughts on it. Member Mscoso. Yeah. Um I would agree with that. I I appreciate you, Mr. Bate, because I had brought this up to
our former city manager and basically got the response of we don't know and and instead of giving me that response, you came up with the solution um or you're bringing forward a possible solution. So I just want to commend you for that. I appreciate it and and I agree. U making sure that we've got the
contract. We know who's going to maintain it. We don't want to put 98,000 in it and still not know. So, I thank you for being proactive in this. Thank you, Member Mossco. Member Stokel. Yes. Um I'm fine with this. My only thing it's I just want us to keep in
mind um it always makes me a little bit nervous when I hear there's leftover money just with what's happening at the state level and CRAAS. And so as a board, I think we need to be very intentional with how we want to spend our money and either talk to parks and wreck and create some partnerships and
be very clear. Um because quite frankly, I do get it at the state level of why they're trying to crack down on CRAAS. They want to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. So when they hear things like that, I feel like that contributes to that narrative. So not to say I don't think we're spending anything frivously, um but I just want
us to be mindful of what we're doing. um especially as we go into the budget process. Thank you, Member Stokel. Member Nelson, I would like to see it expand beyond the maintenance of the monuments. Um I met
Scott and Sue and Sandy U and Jeff Davis. Um who else was there? One of the guys from the space museum. Gabriel. Gabriel. Um and we talked about what needed to be done. So, one of the things
that Sandy brought up is it needs lighting. It needs um irrigation. Um I think the space museum said that they would take out the monuments. Um and maybe look at putting
the handprints around those planters at the end. So, I would like to leave this a little more open-ended um and saying is for the maintenance of the monuments, but I think we need a
plan. So, that would be my desire. Thank you, member Nelson. And I think that's what the direction we're going to give is uh to ask them to kind of go to the drawing board and come back to us with with the plan and and see what we think about it. Member Stokl. Yeah, that's what I was just going to clarify. So can is that okay to member Nelson's
point that we say we want to move forward in this direction of spending it and then just bring it back to us so we can approve it. Certainly. Perfect. Any other discussion? All right. I need a motion. move to approve the budget adjustment for
98,527 from the CR6005 trail amenities um to u how do I say it come up with a plan for Space View Park and bring it back to
us. Second I have a motion and I have a second. City clerk. Uh we have one card on this item. Stan Johnson, executive director, the my name, you know what my name is, Stan Johnson and so forth. And I'm here because I'm not
pleased with what you're doing. You know, I'm not pleased with it. And I'm not pleased with this what the executive report I mean, he's completely missed some serious things in his report. And you know what they are? For example, the children that went into the ponds and
the the notices, the signs they had didn't say that the ponds were polluted with sewage. They didn't even say that. So, I saw children go into those ponds and play in those ponds with electric boats. And I asked council to stop it.
They wouldn't do it. They still won't do it. Dan, do you have any feedback on how we should redirect this rollover amount of $98,527? I think it should the executive report should should deal with the serious
problems right now of what you guys are doing and it and and it has nothing to do with with with Well, it does happen. In other words, you're you're looking at things that are distractions from what you should be doing. You should be serving the public. You're not serving
the public by spraying women, children. And Mr. Acre, I mean, here he is a doctor. And what does he do on this situation? He ignores it. And you you guys continue to believe that it's just going to go away. It's not going to go away. I suppose what you're going to do
is maybe you're going to shoot me. I don't know. You've already I've already been arrested illegally and jailed and not told what I was jailed for until the next day. So, um I don't sleep well. I have I have
dreams. I have nightmares of this t the TPD murdering me and I'm fed up with it. Thank you. Well, I hope you get some good sleep, Mr. Johnson. Thank you very much. Any other cards? City clerk. There's no other cards. Thank you very much. Any discussion from the board?
All those in favor say I. I. I. All opposed. Motion carries unanimously. Thank you very much, executive director. That's it, sir. All right. Move to adjourn. I have a motion to adjourn. We're adjourned. Thank you very much.
