at 1:17:15Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion to affirm the zoning official's April 22nd, 2026 determination.
at 5:42Each person addressing the board shall have three minutes to complete his or her comments on each agenda item for which he or she has filled out a card.
at 5:55The Board of County Commissioners requests that speakers appearing under the public comments section of the agenda limit their comments or presentations to matters relating to county business that are within the board's control, authority, and jurisdiction.
at 1:00:15Our proposal creates an appropriate transition between the existing neighborhood and North Courtney Parkway,
at 1:09:11From the exterior finishes in, the rents that this property will command are north of $2,000 per unit.
at 39:13um, conversations, do you think that that could be a possible direction we could go? Um, or are there
at 41:09would look, but I just figured, um, it's something we could talk about. Those are just a couple things,
at 22:08And whereas the mission of the military order of the Purple Heart is to foster an environment of goodwill among the combat wounded veterans and their families, promote patriotism, support legislation, and most importantly, make sure we never forget.
at 23:07Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners does hereby proclaim Brevard County a Purple Heart County in honor of all combat wounded veterans and to fully support the military order of the Purple Heart, done order and adopted in regular session the 7th day of April, 2026.
at 1:05:41I've been, you know, when I first got elected in 84 to the county commission, our prior commission in the early, late 70s, early 80s, were facing a consent order or a federal mandate to get, there was direct discharge into the Indian River Lagoon, part of the Federal Clean Water Act.
at 1:06:29Our commission stepped forward, and, you know, in so many things, they'll probably never get the due credit, but the commission of the early 80s, late 70s, really had a great solid waste director, I mean, a wastewater director, which, as we do now, great staff, a lot of capability.
at 21:09Did I understand you in the first presentation, you just started your presentation, that we don't control rear lot drainage in that sort of thing?
at 25:12Now, if that be a public lake or a public well or a dark easing well, Mark, do you know if there's an outflow structure that allows the water to leave the lake but go in a correct area rather than Diane Tingly Dunn's house?
at 1:48:07But we can, right now, we can stop and close the CRA, which is the will of our state legislators last year and this year are both trying to do that.
at 1:49:12And I'm going to tell everybody who is listening in on this that my suggestion is that they email, if this passes, they email doge at mail.house.gov.
