Summary Explanation and Background:

Brevard County Home Rule Charter, Section 2.9.10, specifically provides ‘citizens’:

 

“a mechanism for an individual, or an organized group of individuals to submit a formal written recommendation for the enhancement of the effectiveness and efficiency of County government to the County Commission on an annual basis.”

 

In calendar year 2023, the County received 59 citizen recommendations.

 

The submission period for 2023 was scheduled beginning December 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.   Staff was notified on December 31st that the software program shutdown at 5:00 a.m. on December 31st.   All CEER recommendations that were received either through the Speak Up Brevard Software Program or via email prior to 5:00 a.m. on January 1st have been included.   Submission dates and times have been corrected in the Speak Up Brevard/CEER software program.

 

Attached is a spreadsheet which identifies each citizen recommendation, the County Department that reviewed the recommendation and a staff recommendation to either accept, accept with revisions, or reject each citizen recommendation. Also included in the attachments are the details of each citizens’ recommendation, and staff input relating to each recommendation.

 

Staff is requesting that the Board approve staff recommendations in a single motion for all the citizen recommendations.  The Board may choose to pull those items from the staff recommendations that the Board would like to discuss and/or take alternative action on from the staff recommendation for particular Speak Up Brevard recommendations.

 

On March 13, 2024, the County Manager provided the citizen a notice of the date, time, and place of the meeting their Speak Up Brevard recommendation(s) is/are scheduled to be heard by the Board of County Commissioners.

 

According to the Brevard County Home Rule Charter and Board Policy BCC-95, the Board of County Commissioners must take a final vote either to accept, accept with revisions, or reject within 120 days of the submittal date of the Speak Up Brevard recommendations. All Speak Up Brevard recommendations for this cycle were received on or before January 1, 2024.
