Summary Explanation and Background:
On November 2, 2010 Brevard voters approved a referendum initiated through the Charter Review Commission for citizens to make recommendations on improving efficiency and effectiveness to the Brevard County Board of Commissioners.
For the current Citizen Efficiency and Effectiveness Recommendations (CEER) cycle the Speak Up Brevard website opened on January 1st, 2025 to receive citizen suggestions through January 31, 2025. 77 submissions were received and are under preliminary review by staff. The proposed workshop is for the commissioners to hear presentations from citizens that have submitted recommendations via the county website and would like to present their recommendations in person to the commissioners at a dedicated workshop.
The workshop proposal was also presented at the December 17, 2024 and January 28, 2025 commission meetings, with feedback incorporated based on commissioner input.
