During a recent Cocoa City Council meeting, discussions centered on the future of the historic Perche House, with a focus on its potential as a cultural attraction rather than merely a rental property. A council member emphasized the importance of recognizing the historical value of the property, suggesting that it could be priced appropriately to reflect its significance. The member expressed a desire for a comprehensive plan to elevate the Perche House to a status worthy of inclusion on Brevard's historical home list, highlighting its potential to attract visitors similar to other historical sites in the county.
The meeting also included procedural discussions regarding a motion related to rent pricing, which ultimately did not receive a second and therefore did not advance. This led to a brief exchange among council members regarding the voting process and the possibility of revisiting the topic in the future.
In addition to these discussions, the council proclaimed October 7th through 11th as Customer Service Week, recognizing the vital role of the city’s customer service team in managing over 90,000 utility accounts. The proclamation aimed to highlight the importance of customer satisfaction and the dedication of city employees in providing quality service to the community.
The meeting concluded with a call for continued commitment to customer service excellence, underscoring the council's appreciation for the efforts of city staff.
