A FEW WORDS FROM OUR CITY MANAGER

As we race to the end of summer, I would like to thank all of the volunteers who give of their time and talent to make Cocoa Beach a better place for all of us to enjoy. Whether it is as a member of a Board or Committee, a volunteer in our Police Department, or working as a mentor with our youth, please know you are making a difference. It truly reflects a sense of community, and provides lasting impacts on generations in the future.

As we move through the budget process for Fiscal Year 2018, please give me your thoughts or priorities as we look not only for the coming year, but over the next five years. What should be a priority for our town?

Hope the remainder of your summer is enjoyable!
