vote (5).
B. Action Item: Waiver of Subdivision Platting Requirements, Property on
Northwest Corner of Fairway Lane and Fiske Boulevard (D R

City Manager McKnight explained that D R Horton, Home Builders, has
requested authorization to build on the lots located on Fairway Lane north of the
Latter Day Saints Church and is requesting a waiver from the subdivision plat
requirements of Section 70.10 of the Land Development Regulations. Although
the City Attorney has indicated it would be legal to waive this requirement, it will
not exempt D R Horton from sidewalk, utility and drainage requirements. The lots
will be described using metes and bounds, and the eastern-most lot (Lot 4) is
being considered for partitioning in order for the City to have ownership of it.
Councilman Forester moved to waive the subdivision platting requirements,
property on northwest corner of Fairway Lane and Fiske Boulevard; seconded

D. Action Item: Authorization to Proceed, RFP for Auditing & Accounting
Services (Assistant City Manager Henderson)
The contract with the current auditors, Davies, Houser & Secrest, has expired
with the most recent audit. Council could authorize an extension, but it would be
an appropriate time to retain a new firm that will bring a fresh set of eyes to the
City’s finances.
Councilman Forester moved to authorize Staff to proceed with the RFP for
Auditing & Accounting Services; seconded by Councilman Hartselle. The
motion carried with a unanimous vote (5).
E. Discussion:
Fiske Boulevard/Roy Wall Boulevard Intersection, Traffic Control
(FDOT Corridor Study)
Councilman O’Neill explained that the FDOT Corridor Study will be released in
the near future, with a primary recommendation for a roundabout at the
intersection of Roy Wall Boulevard and Fiske Boulevard. There is concern that,
among other things, this will impact the left-turn movements from side friction on
Fiske Boulevard with little break in traffic from Barnes Boulevard to Eyster
Boulevard.

Page 6 of 7

Councilman O’Neill moved to direct City Staff to formulate a letter notifying

Daski. Voting for the motion: Councilmembers Forester, O’Neill, Daski and
Hartselle. Voting against the motion: Mayor Price. The motion carried by a
vote of 4 to 1.
F. Discussion:
Silverado Retention Area (City Attorney Miniclier)
City Manager McKnight explained that, in the fall of 2015, Staff met with
residents of Silverado Subdivision with regard to the HOA’s not maintaining the
retention pond, which is dedicated in the HOA documents. In 1997, the
Subdivision was turned over to Belmont Homes, and the HOA was never
reestablished. Although the City could require the residents to form an HOA and
be responsible for the retention pond, it may be a better path for the City to seek
ownership of the retention area. There is not a problem with the City maintaining
it.
City Attorney Miniclier explained that, because there is no existing entity or
individual that has ownership of the parcels that compose the drainage system of
the Subdivision, the City could take a colorable title by obtaining a quit-claim
deed from the developer or the last known member of the Silverado HOA. The
City could then remove the property from the tax rolls, maintain the drainage
facility and wait for a period of seven years to extinguish any claims.
Councilman Daski moved to accept the City Attorney’s recommendation, which
was to have the City take a colorable title by obtaining a quit-claim deed from
the developer or the last known member of the Silverado HOA and then remove
the property from the tax rolls, maintain the drainage facility and wait for a
period of seven years to extinguish any claims; seconded by Councilman
Hartselle. The motion carried with a unanimous vote (5).

Project engineers had originally designed the Breeze Swept Lift Station to use 7.5 HP
pumps. The design called for a three phase converter to be installed in the lift station
panel to convert the existing single phase power to three phase.
Wastewater staff determined years ago that the type of 7.5 HP pumps recommended
for the project are not reliable and clog often. Staff recommended a more efficient and
reliable pump that will minimize clogging and pass the solids required. However, the
pumps that we have recommended will not meet the requirements of the engineers
design to pump 255 gallons per minute (GPM) under single to three phase Conversion.
After months of conversations with FPL, they will not budge from their policy to allow any
pumps higher than 7.5 HP for three phase conversion. Staffs recommends a three
phase 15 HP pump, which has a larger solids handling capacity to help prevent clogging.
Staff believes going with the original design pumps will open a flood gate of problems
from clogging issues to overflows. It is staff’s recommendation that we proceed with
supplying the lift station with three phase power and install 15 HP pumps recommended
by the department.
The power must be run from US 1 to the back of the subdivision, to the lift station parcel.
The cost of supplying the new lift station with three phase power is $57,738.52. Although
the cost is expensive, once the power is run to the back of the subdivision it will available
for any future expansion of the sewer system.
Submitted for Council Approval.

Re:
Recreational Trails Program – limitation of use/site dedication
Comments: The Griffin Trail at The McKnight Family Sports Complex is complete. As
part of the final grant close out, the trail must be recorded with the Clerk
of Courts office that it will remain a trail in perpetuity. If the City should
convert any part of the project area to anything other than a recreational
trail, the City is responsible for replacing the trail to the DEP standards at
the City’s expense.

Rockledge City Council,
My wife Katy and I have been local Brevard residents since 1986. Some of you may know us as the past
owners and operators of the Space Coast Iceplex. Since selling the Iceplex in September of 2014 we have
been evolving into retirement but have still kept very active. I’m currently the national chair for US
Figure Skating’s Learn to Skate USA program as well as staying active on the BOD of USA Hockey and
STAR (Serve the American Rinks). Katy is actively involved with St Johns Catholic Church as well as
substitute teaching at the Viera Charter School.
In our spare time we have invested in, and pursued the passion we share in dogs. We started Space
Coast Lure Chase LLC in the summer of 2015. Our business provides exercise for dogs and entertainment
for their owners. We set up a huge temporary fenced pen 60,000 to 70,000 sq. ft. in size. The equipment
we use is a small electric motor (comparable to that of an electric drill) with pulleys spiked at strategic
location around the field. A string runs around the pulleys with a plastic lure and the dogs basically chase
the lure. This is not new. It was developed to help zoo animals like large cats get exercise when
confined. The dogs that chase the lure totally love it. As do the owners. We have done this now at a
variety of locations including Space Coast Stadium, Cocoa Village, Lori Wilson Park, Space Coast Harley,
Harmony Farms, Eastern Florida State College Melbourne, Lake Eola and more. At times we have done it
as fundraisers for the Brevard Human Society, Orlando Pet Alliance, and Harmony Farms. We have
invested approximately $10k in the equipment and set-up. We do have monthly fixed costs to operate
such as insurance, website, constant contact email, bank and merchant account fees. In order for us to
keep offering this service we need a location to operate and hopefully off set some costs to keep it
going.
We did a test run recently on the property at the Pluckebaum Park. Steve Wilson attended as well as
your past Fire Chief Rick Allen who took photos. We had fourteen dogs attend, two would not run so
they were not charged, six ran from Rockledge and were charged $5 each. The other six dogs were
charged $10 and some came as far as Ft Pierce to attend. We set up the night before. That took about
2hrs. We operated from 9am-1pm on Saturday and it took about an hour to tear down for a total of
about 7 hours. We made $90 so obviously this is not a huge money maker. We do this because we love
the dogs and the enjoyment it brings them, their owners and ourselves.
We are hoping to set up in the same location on a more regular basis in hopes of building the base.
Realistically we could run as many as 10-15 dogs and hour and still give them a quality experience. The
traffic flow is moderate because people do not stay there the whole 3-4 hours. They usually run their
dog 3-5 minutes, cool them down 10-15 minutes and run them again before leaving. All dogs are
leashed except when in the pen and owners do pick up after their dogs. We provide bags if needed. The
people who attend this are true passionate dog lovers. We had all positive comments about the
Rockledge location and experience. We are requesting the use of the property based on availability
starting Saturday July 30th, August 20th, September 10th and September 24th if possible. The city already
has our proof of insurance and has been named as an additional insured via the Hartford. I would be
happy to appear in front of the council and answer any question. References from any of the above for
mentioned locations or events are available upon request. I’m attaching my website and Facebook in
case you would like to view photos or videos.
Sincerely,
Rick and Katy Ninko
