In December 2015, City Council approved the milling and paving portion to be removed from the Breeze Swept project costs because the contractor cost would have been $455,000.00, and the City Public Works Department could perform the same work for approximately $171,000.00. In February 2016, $106,000.00 of the $175,000.00 paving budget (for FY 2016) was approved/earmarked for the Breeze Swept subdivision paving, of which approximately $40,000.00 was used. Public Works is recommending approval for WWG Asphalt, which is on the Brevard County bid list, to resurface Knollwood in the Breeze Swept subdivision for $34,983.05. Additional funds will be needed this fiscal year to complete the resurfacing/paving in the subdivision. Councilman Smith moved to approve WWG Asphalt for the street resurfacing of Knollwood in the Breeze Swept Subdivision; seconded by Councilman Hartselle. The motion carried unanimously (6).
12. PETITIONS, REMONSTRANCES, AND COMMUNICATIONS None
13. REPORTS A.

ROCKLEDGE CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 8 REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 18, 2017
o Indicated that residents may be contacting them with regard to certain administrative changes that will be implemented by the County in February at the tennis and racquetball courts at The McKnight Family Sports Complex. The City is aware of and is monitoring the situation. B. City Attorney Litigation Report Councilman O’Neill moved to be in receipt of the City Attorney Litigation Report dated January 5, 2017; seconded by Councilman Forester. The motion passed unanimously (6). City Attorney Miniclier noted that, during the most recent election, the prescribing of medical marijuana had passed. The State of Florida is working on regulations that will control this but has not adopted anything concrete at this point. At this juncture, it would be prudent to authorize staff to make recommendations to Council with regard to medical marijuana dispensaries as related to definitions, acceptable locations/zoning districts, distance from schools, and so forth. City Attorney Miniclier suggested drafting an ordinance providing for a 12-month moratorium on the provisions relating to this type of business, and noted that it could potentially take less than one year. Councilman Hartselle moved to direct staff to prepare an ordinance to place a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries for one year and to prepare any land-use and zoning changes that might be needed in preparation for implementation; seconded by Councilman O’Neill. The motion passed unanimously (6). City Attorney Miniclier mentioned that Public Works Director Poole currently has a number of different continuing services contracts that contain different ending dates, start dates, extension dates and termination dates. It has become difficult to track them. If Council agrees, the City Attorney would like to make all of the contracts consistent in their dates of commencement, termination and extension so that they can be tracked more easily. Doing so will help to streamline the process for tracking renewal and extension dates. It is hoped that the changes will be implemented by March. Mayor Price authorized the City Attorney to move forward with this effort and to keep Council informed. C. Reports from the Dais Councilman Ferguson noted that he attended his first League of Cities meeting with Dr. Fettrow and Councilman O’Neill and that it was a tremendous event. Councilman O’Neill reported that: o He was sworn in as Second Vice President of the Space Coast League of Cities on January 9 and that Rockledge will be hosting the SCLOC dinner in February. o He represented the Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization at the Central Florida Metropolitan Planning Organization Alliance meeting on January 13 in Orlando. Regulations pertaining to the commercial trucking industry were discussed, and additional rest stops may be requested in Brevard County. ROCKLEDGE CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 8 REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 18, 2017
o Will be attending a local meeting of the American Planning Association on January 20. o Noranne Downs, District 5 Secretary for FDOT, is retiring. Mayor Price: o Presented City Manager Fettrow with a copy of 100 Years of Rockledge signed by all Council members. o Stated that the issue of health benefits for Council members has been brought up in several Finance and Budget Committee meetings in the past and has yet to be resolved. Currently, City Council receives no health benefits, but the idea is to provide the same health benefits to Council members that City employees have. For those on Medicare, the City health insurance could be used as primary insurance, or Council members could be paid the monthly premium. The cost would be approximately $40,000.00 per year if all Council members participate. A Budget amendment would be required at the end of the year, but it is less than 1 percent of the entire health benefit budget. The proposal would provide the same benefit to Council members as Council gives to City employees. Dependents can also be insured at the same cost as employees pay. Councilman Smith moved to approve the discussion as presented by Mayor Price; seconded by Councilman O’Neill. The motion passed by unanimous vote (6).
14. ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the Council, Chairman Price declared the meeting to be adjourned at 7:24 p.m.

Reference: Special Event Regulations
Approval of the November 26, 2017, Space Coast Runners & Suggested Action: Running Zone Foundation Marathon & Half-Marathon and requested road closures
PROPOSAL
Space Coast Runners (SCR) and Running Zone Foundation (RZF) are non-profit organizations incorporated under the laws of Florida whose purpose is to promote fitness and running at the community level. SCR has over 750 members and conducts or supports over forty road races annually within Brevard County. RZF conducts or supports another twenty road races annually as well. SCR and RZF propose to host the annual marathon and ½ marathon in Rockledge on Sunday, November 26th, 2017
2016’s race was a huge success with just under 7,000 runners combined in both races from 47 states and entrants from 18 other countries. Comments we received from athletes were all positive.
The race will start on Brevard Avenue in Cocoa and finish at the Cocoa Riverfront Park. We want Rockledge Drive to be closed to through traffic but understand it is difficult to close the road completely due to local traffic. Therefore, we require support form the Rockledge City Police at the major intersections. The course has both the half and full marathoners running on Rockledge Drive at different times. The half marathoners will be on the course in Rockledge between 6:00am and 9:30am. The full marathoners will then start to filter to Rockledge Drive until the course is officially closed at 1:30pm. The largest portion of the participants will be off the course by 10:30am. At this time
1 we will ask the Rockledge police to open the southbound lane of Rockledge Drive. The participants will move to the northbound lane.
We believe the event will be a win-win for the Rockledge community. Last year’s race was a huge success drawing over half of the runners from outside of Brevard County and the country. Out-of-town competitors will have a direct impact on area hotels/motels and restaurants. We also believe that the date of the race will result in a direct impact on Rockledge businesses.
The marathon is a high visibility athletic event. Last year’s event had almost 6,000 finishers. With family, friends, volunteers and SCR members, we had as many as 8,500 people in the area participating, watching or helping run the event. Further, we will aggressively market this event, highlighting the many amenities of the Rockledge area. “Florida Today” provided coverage prior to and after the race.
At approximately every mile, we will have an “aid” station that will dispense water, other fluids, and energy bars/gels. Approximately 13 aid stations will be located off the road, on city right of ways, and if necessary, on private property. If private property is required for a station, we will obtain permission from the owner in advance. Each station applies to be a host water station and these 13 organizations ARE the beneficiaries of the event. We also have an additional 5 more organizations that directly benefit for volunteering their time at the event. They are all local foundations.
In addition to food and fluids, we stock aid stations with cleaning materials to ensure no trash is left behind on the course. SCR has always received favorable comments from local communities for our efforts in leaving running locations as we found them, neat and orderly. At 1:00pm SCR has a group to scour the entire course to make sure no garbage of any kind is left on the course.
2 Our pre-race briefing to runners will include that some of the roads will be open to local traffic and runners are required to run along the right side of the road and to use caution. As noted above we would like Rockledge Police support to control traffic at major intersections for most of the race. We will staff experienced seasoned runner/volunteers at other intersections along the race route to control traffic. Additionally, SCR and RZF will provide signs along the route cautioning motorists that a road race is in progress.
Runner safety is a key issue in any road race and SCR and RZF pride themselves in never having had a serious safety issue in any of our races. One of the main reasons for seeking permitting in Rockledge for this race is the route has limited traffic and which makes it conducive for an event of this nature.
While we will take every precaution, we recognize that a marathon is a strenuous physical event. While we do not anticipate any injuries, we do require all participants and volunteers to sign a release waiver for their participation. Additionally, Space Coast Runners and Running Zone Foundation are covered by RRCA insurance that adequately covers any of these eventualities. Further, we will name the City of Rockledge as an additional insured on our insurance policy, which provides for $1,000,000 in liability insurance for each occurrence. We will also hire Cocoa to provide ambulance support throughout the event to assist anyone if necessary. We can provide further details of this policy upon request.
Next to safety, nothing is more important than having the support of the local community, particularly residents along Rockledge Drive. We recognize that there is going to be some inconvenience for residents. SCR and RZF’s approach will be to get residents involved in the race either as participants, volunteers, or as spectators cheering on athletes. A copy of last year’s letter to Rockledge residents is attached. We do anticipate pre-race coverage in local print and electronic media that will detail the race and schedule. Further, Space Coast
3 Marathon will conduct an advertising campaign using local media that will provide additional details about the event.
As noted earlier, we believe that the Space Coast Marathon located in Rockledge is a win-win for the city, its residents, and the SCR. The race will bring additional visibility to the Rockledge and Cocoa areas during a seasonal holiday period. The race promotes health and fitness, which is also beneficial to the community.
The previous years have been an unqualified success as word has traveled about this race. We envision an increase in participation in the years to come.
