OLD BUSINESS Discussion Of Proposal Before The North Brevard Parks & Recreation Commission To Allow Not-For-Profit Organizations To Charge Parking Fees In Sand Point Park For the Launch Of STS-135 - City Manager Ryan advised as a follow-up to the North Brevard Parks & Recreation Commission (NBPRC) Report by Council Member Pritchett at a previous City Council meeting, he would like to initiate a discussion on the portion of that report relative to charging for parking in Sand Point Park for the launch of STS-135. Member Pritchett indicated the North Brevard Parks & Recreation Commission (May 12, 2011 NBPRC Agenda Minutes included in the agenda packet) was exploring allowing Not-for-Profit Organizations to charge parking fees for various parks, including Sand Point Park (a municipal owned park). City Manager Ryan would like to initiate a discussion whether Council supported charging for parking during the launch of STS-135 in a City owned park (Sand Point Park) with the proceeds to Not-for-Profit Organizations. North Area Parks Operations Manager Terry Lane advised some of the money from the fees would be used to assist youths that were unable to afford to participate in Parks and Recreation programs. The NBPRC set up guidelines on what would be acceptable for charging fees to enter the parks and setting up various concessions. All the riverfront parks from Marina Park to Coal Park were being considered. Mayor Tulley asked whether other public parks in the County charged vendor fees. North Area Parks Operations Manager Lane responded there was a fee schedule established by the County Commissioners and clarified that for $50, vendors could purchase a permit to sell in the parks. City Manager Ryan clarified Sand Point Park and Marina Park are Municipal Parks and that Council had a right to participate in the decision whether fees were allowed to be charged or not at those parks. Motion: Vice-Mayor Johnson moved for Council to not support the City or North Brevard Parks and Recreation allowing charitable organizations to charge a fee for parking at City owned parks during the launch of STS-135. Member Long seconded the motion. The motion carried 4 -1 with Member Pritchett opposed. Consensus of Council was to support anyone who obtained the rights or permits to sell hot dogs, etc. as a method to support fundraising activities and welcoming visitors during the upcoming launch. Member Burson asked what the City was doing to address safety during the launch. 6

City Manager Ryan advised the Titusville Police Department was coordinating with the Brevard County Sheriffs’ Department and NASA to do everything possible to help insure the safety of all individuals during the launch. The City was also utilizing Titusville 411 to get information out to the citizens and to provide misting tents. North Area Parks Operations Manager Lane advised Parks and Recreation would be operating the boat ramp in order to keep parking open for the boat trailer parking. Motion: Vice-Mayor Johnson expressed concern that the word charitable was added to his motion. His motion was to not allow anyone to charge a parking fees at City owned parks during the launch of STS-135. Consensus of Council was it was understood not to allow anyone to charge fees at City owned parks during the launch of STS-135. Member Long asked if there had been further discussion on making Indian River Avenue one-way or closing the road during the launch of STS-135. City Manager Ryan advised that was a big challenge. If the road closed, it would pose a problem for fire trucks and emergency personnel who would need to access that road. In dialog with the Fire Marshal and Fire Chief, he thought it was recommended not to do anything on Indian River Avenue. He would research that dialog and report back to Council. xxx ORDINANCES-SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARINGS & RELATED ACTION Resolutions Designating Various Areas Within The City Of Titusville As Brownfield Areas And Providing For Analyses For Each Area Under Consideration Consistent With Florida Statues - City Manager Ryan advised this was a public hearing for each of the Resolutions for designating five (5) areas within the City as Brownfield Areas under Section 376.82 of Florida Statues as a means to promote economic development in each of the areas under consideration. Staff included in the agenda packet a detailed staff report for each area. Each area included a separate resolution and would include a separate public hearing. Resolutions were as followed: Resolution No. 17-2011 designating real property Park, known as the North Brevard Industrial Park and Space Port Commerce, as a Florida Brownfield area for the purpose of rehabilitation, economic redevelopment, and environmental remediation and directing the City Manager to notify the Department of Environmental Protection of said designation.
