Residents are encouraged to attend or review the full agenda online to stay informed on critical decisions impacting the city.

Highlights of the Meeting:

Student Advisory Council Scholarships and Appointments
Three graduating seniors from the Titusville Student Advisory Council—Callie Cerrato, Julia Moon, and Victoria Hillery—will be awarded scholarships totaling $3,000 for their active participation and community service. Additionally, the Council will confirm Kaden Ramos as the new 11th-grade representative from Academic Community Enrichment, Inc., filling a vacancy left by London Hopping.

Emergency Services Grants and Equipment Upgrades
The Council will vote on accepting two grants aimed at bolstering public safety:

• A $5,100 grant from Brevard County Fire Rescue to purchase six ballistic vests for first responders.
• A $7,862 award from the Jess Parrish Medical Foundation for advanced airway training manikins to enhance emergency medical training.

Red, White, & Boom! 2025 Planning
City staff seek approval to begin organizing the July 4th celebration at Chain of Lakes Park, with an estimated budget of $43,775. The event will feature live entertainment, food vendors, and fireworks. A portion of the costs will be offset by local business sponsorships.

Zoning and Land Use Amendments
Two major ordinances will undergo final readings:

• Royal Manor Townhomes: A proposal to rezone 5.74 acres at Barna Avenue and Day Street from single-family to multifamily housing, following a revised recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
• 2960 Columbia Boulevard: A first reading to rezone 3.14 acres from residential to commercial use, aligning with a plan to introduce high-intensity commercial development.

City Manager Search Firm Selection
Council members will review proposals from executive search firms to lead the recruitment of a new City Manager, with a recommended contract cap of $34,500 for Colin Baenziger & Associates.

Shade Structure Replacements
A $82,481 contract with Rep Services, Inc. to replace aging fabric on shade structures at Julia and Nevins Courts will be voted on. The project, funded by the Community Redevelopment Agency, aims to enhance downtown aesthetics and safety.
