F.4. Reports, Re: Commissioner John Tobia, District 3

Commissioner Tobia stated the Governor just announced that Tim Bobanic would be filling the

role of Supervisor of Elections; he wants to wish him the best; he knows it is a tough time to

come in; he is sure Mr. Bobanic will do a good job; and he has some tough shoes to fill. He

expressed his appreciation to the Chair for getting the letters out to the CRAs; he expressed his

appreciation to Merritt Island Redevelopment Agency (MIRA) for what it is doing to set some

priorities; he stated it is very apparent where a person puts his or her money is where they put

their priorities; and MIRA has definitely done a good job in a short period of time. He went on to

say he wants to thank Commissioner Pritchett, because he received a letter from Dan Diesel,

and they are under no obligation to follow, but it looks like Titusville is moving in that direction;

he imagines Commissioner Pritchett had a lot to do with that; it is really great to see that

happening because the Board sees cities going in the other direction; he received a letter from

Cocoa Beach, which says, “Cocoa Beach does not lend itself well to affordable housing;” and

what Cocoa Beach lends itself to is taxing increases. He added it is embarrassing, not only for

being a Republican as many of these folks claim to be, not only did they not leave the millage

rate where it was, which would have been a tax increase, they increased the millage almost

one full mill; it is absolutely insane; these folks are raising taxes over and over again, and

squandering CRA resources; and then they have the audacity to send the Board a letter saying

they are very concerned about it, but it does not lend itself well to affordable housing. He

reiterated it is embarrassing on so many levels, but it goes to show what great partners the

Board has in Titusville; hopefully, the other folks have better responses than what the Board

hears from the very liberal City of Cocoa Beach because they keep raising taxes; clearly, they

also do not care about those in need; and it is embarrassing to their taxpayers, to the folks in

need, but it is in great contrast to what is happening with MIRA and with the City of Titusville.
