Robert Cochran Jr., is currently completing a third Council term. He served as Deputy Mayor in 1995 and 1997 and has been serving as Acting Mayor since April, 1998.

He is also a member of the Brevard County Manufacturers Association and the Melbourne-Palm Bay Chamber of Commerce.

In the past, Bob has served the Town on the Zoning & Planning Board, the Ad Hoc Building Committee and the Indialantic Art Festival Committee.

When Marlene Shelley and her husband decided to retire, they began visiting and researching various communities on the east coast of Florida. After careful consideration and many months of discussion, they decided they had already left their hearts in Indialantic. The small town atmosphere, beautiful beaches and friendly people were all deciding factors in their important decision.

After serving as a commissioner, secretary to welfare board and Republican county committee woman in a hectic community of over 35,000 people, Marlene welcomed the peaceful setting of Indialantic and it's shoreline. Preserving the pristine condition of the beaches and dunes has become Marlene's main concern. She is aware of the damage caused by beachfront development, and feels a price should never be put on our wildlife and model environment.

Marlene Shelley is aware that the most important part of communication is listening. She wants to know how the people of Indialantic feel about the issues that face their town. She urges that everyone get involved, ask questions and give their opinion.

Marlene is fully prepared to serve the people of the community, with their best interests in mind. She is a firm believer that if we all take an active role in our town's future, Indialantic will continue to be a perfect place to live. Take the first step, vote Marlene Shelley for mayor on November 3, 1998.

Since 1992, he has had the pleasure of serving on the Code Enforcement Board (1992-1994); Budget and Finance Committee (1994-1997) and the Zoning and Planning Board (1994-present). In addition, he was a member of the Color Code Review Committee and the Occupation Fee Committee. These past seven (7) years of service to our town have provided him with the requisite experience and background to serve as your councilman.

He regularly attends Town Council meetings and actively solicits the opinions of residents and merchants.

His civic work includes a current term on the Planning and Zoning Board. He has served at every meeting since he was appointed. His agenda is to protect and preserve the natural residential character of our barrier island community. He's gravely concerned about the possibility of 15-story buildings sprouting up in our town.

When you elect him to the Council, John will continue his tradition of encouraging public discussion and participation, and will diligently research all issues before acting.

He wants to insure that Town Council Meetings provide a forum for open, informed discussion and genuine consideration for diverse ideas. John wants these meetings conducted with civility and respect.

Applying the standard of open government, John believes that orderly progress must include full exposure of all viewpoints, interests, as well as those who might benefit from official decisions by our Council or Town Boards.

John listens and knows why most residents like living here. With your help he will make responsible decisions with your tax dollars while respecting the Town's historical residential character.

I have lived at my present address, 131 Miami Avenue, since 1992. I was graduated from Florida Southern College in 1961 with a B.S. in Business Administration. I served as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

I have had extensive business experience, including management positions with Sikorsky Aircraft and other manufacturing companies. I have also served as a marine consultant. Since 1969, I have owned and managed other businesses and at present have business rental properties and do mortgage investment.

I feel that our town is a non-profit organization which should be operated as such, without political or financial motivations. Indialantic has a charter, building and zoning codes, and a budget which should all be adhered to. Our seaside community's character should not be changed unless the residents express their desire to do so through a referendum.

The Town is a business, and the bottom line in any business is to get the most out of what you have to spend through rational, objective discussion - basically common sense.

222 First Avenue has been my home since 1994 (724-5361).

It has been an interesting year for our town; the election of two new council members, the resignation of the Mayor and the departing of the Town Manager.

We have great opportunity before us. We are embarking on a journey and we must be candid and disciplined. We must commit to our objectives and map our journey carefully.

Everyone who is taking the time to read this is concerned about our town. Egos and motives must be recognized but not emphasized. We can accomplish much if we work together for the benefit of all.

My perception can be simply stated: Sunshine, not clandestine.

I believe we all strive for the same things......to live and work in a beautiful place. To spend quality time with our family and friends and loved ones. To feel safe and secure while enjoying our surroundings.
