(06/21/11) The County Attorney’s Office has noted that the case is still with the Fifth District Court of Appeals awaiting reply briefs from RKT and the Surety with oral arguments expected before the end of the year.

Contractors have milled and resurfaced Second and N. Palm avenues.(04/16/13) Contractors have milled and resurfaced S. Palm Avenue to Ormond Drive. (05/21/13)
b.

Town Manager’s Report

h. SR-A1A Resurfacing: FDOT plans in FY-16 to resurface SR-A1A from US-192/SR-500 to south of the Pineda Causeway. (08/21/12) FDOT has agreed to also resurface those portions of the SR-A1A right-of-way that taper into the side streets. The finished product will consist of a 10 ½’ inside travel lane on SR-A1A, an 11’ outside lane, and a 4’ bicycle lane. (02/19/13)
i. Pedestrian Crossing Signs: FDOT prefers using the notification to motorists that they must yield to pedestrians when the pedestrian is in the crosswalk thereby providing consistency. They note having used other types of signs in the past with limited success at best. FDOT is considering a corridor-based sign approach to lessen any confusion for motorists. (03/19/13)
2. Fiscal Activity:
a. FEMA Firefighter Assistance Grant: The fire chief submitted an application for $45,838 Federal monies with a $2,412 local match for the following: $25,250 for 10 sets of bunker gear; $15,000 for Firefighting training for volunteers; and $8,000 for the cascade fill station to meet NFPA standards, which was not funded.

The addition of this swale will assist the Town in meeting Central Indian River Lagoon Basin TMDL requirements. (07/17/12)
h. Street Lights: Concerns have arisen and are being researched with regard to streetlights. Power arrives in some cases to the light pole from behind residences without an easement for the line. Concern arises when there is the desire to have the vegetation under the lines trimmed. Prescriptive easements may be obtainable—but at a cost. Some lights are not at intersections. This will probably be presented to Council at a future meeting. (10/18/11) FPL has been requested to remove the light at 138 Ormond Drive.

j. Striping: Centerline striping has been completed on S. Riverside Drive and missing reflective paving markers (RPMs) have been installed. (02/19/13)
k. Signs: By January, 2012, the Town will need to ensure that all roadway signs have been inventoried, signs regularly inspected, and a determination made as to the method to address reflectivity. By January, 2015, the Town will need to ensure that all regulatory roadway signs comply with the minimum reflectivity requirements. By January, 2018, the Town will need to ensure that all street signs comply with minimum reflectivity requirements. (03/15/11) The reflectivity requirement has been lessened to apply when signs are normally in need of being replaced. (03/20/12)
l. Orlando Park: Public Works personnel have removed the see saw and last remaining spring toy as both items have deteriorated and were unsafe.

Page Four
Town Manager’s Report

n. Nance Park: Public Works is replacing 2 tot swings that have deteriorated and have replaced the hand-holds for the climbing wall. (03/19/13)
o. Employee Survey: Survey results of employees who were provided a survey instrument: 19.5% believe that favoritism exists; 19.5% believe that employees are not valued; 12.2% express concern about Council politics; 12.2% believe that the organization supports “business as usual”; 9.8% reflect low morale; 9.8% note that additional money is needed for training. Issues of focus need to be improved communication, avoiding favoritism (or the appearance), and an indication of appreciation/recognition of employee value. A committee is being established of employee representatives to meet on a regular basis with the Town Manager to improve communications and lessen any false impressions that might exist. This two-way communication mechanism will better determine the extent of concern expressed through the survey and work toward making improvements. Manager training is being explored. (12/18/12) The Two-Way Communications Committee met and reviewed areas to improve communications with employees and address some concerns previously identified by some employees. (02/19/13) The committee has indicated support for an Employee Recognition Award program that is being offered in April and May on a trial basis providing $30 in gift certificates to the Premiere Oaks 10 Theaters to one employee per month. (03/19/13) Employee suggestion box has been located in the Town Hall conference room with notice to employees sent March 21st. (04/16/13)
4. Council Matters:
a. Showers at Sea Park (i.e. Tampa Avenue): Showers using Melbourne water are projected to cost $4,500 and for a foot wash with Melbourne water the cost is projected to be $4,200. Installing a well to provide showers or a foot wash is estimated to cost $4,600. Annual costs would need to be considered with maintenance to the fixtures using either approach, additional electrical costs for a well, or monthly water bills if the city water approach was implemented. (07/17/12)
b. Showers at Sunrise Park (i.e. Watson Drive): Showers using Melbourne water are projected to cost $3,500 and for a foot wash with Melbourne water the cost is projected to be $3,200. Utilizing the existing well to provide showers or a foot wash is estimated to cost $1,278. Annual costs would need to be considered with maintenance to the fixtures using either approach, additional electrical costs utilizing the existing well, or monthly water bills if the city water approach was implemented. (07/17/12)
c. Farmer’s Market: Staff is working with Susan Dieterle as she pursues a special event permit to provide a Producer’s Farmers Market in Nance Park a portion of one day per week. (03/19/13) The market is set to begin 4/19/13 from 2 to 6 pm in Nance Park. (04/16/13) On May 10 market hours changed to run from 9 am to 3 pm. (05/21/13)
