Council members asked only clarifying questions about enforcement and applicability; staff said the ordinances do not change building permit fees.

The council amended the resolution at the meeting to require staff to reassess the fees and report back in two years.

City staff presented a comparative analysis showing that the city’s current site development fees had not been revised since 2008. Jim (city staff, presenter) told the council, “Site development fees have not been revised since 2008 despite comparison with neighboring jurisdictions and an internal review of the city's actual cost.” He said the analysis included third‑party review and inspection expenses and sought to place more responsibility on developers for those costs without shifting them to residents.

The resolution replaces earlier provisions while leaving several sections unchanged. City staff emphasized that building permit fees themselves were not altered by this resolution. The packet included a jurisdictional comparison for Brevard County that, staff said, showed Satellite Beach fees generally fall in the middle range compared with neighbors.

Council discussion focused on balancing cost recovery with avoiding barriers to redevelopment. Some members urged caution about large, one‑time increases and suggested alternatives such as indexing to inflation or phasing increases. Councilors also noted the city is largely built out and that most redevelopment will involve replacing existing structures rather than developing large tracts of vacant land. Staff responded that the proposed changes reflect recent increases in outside engineering and inspection costs and that a two‑year reassessment would show whether the fees achieve a cost‑recovery balance.

Key clarifications during discussion included that variance fees charged to residents would remain unchanged, and that the proposed schedule does not change building permit fees. Council members asked staff to track actual collections and expenses over the coming years; staff recommended a follow‑up assessment to compare revenues and city and outside review costs.

Councilman Mike moved to adopt the resolution as presented with an amendment to require a two‑year review; the motion was seconded by Steve and carried. The council’s recorded vote was entered by roll call and the motion passed.

The council directed staff to return with a report on fee collections and expenditures after two years to determine whether adjustments are needed.","The City Council approved Resolution 10-75 to update building, zoning and development review fees, replacing portions of previous resolutions.

City Manager Britney said she provided the council with the previously approved priorities and asked for a consensus to either keep them or propose edits. Council members highlighted the Indian River Lagoon cleanup as a top priority, saying the lagoon’s geographic reach and local canal conditions make state funding important. One council member noted, \"the lagoon's number one for me,\" and urged prioritizing it in discussions with state representatives.

Council members also raised concerns about cybersecurity: while they agreed the city needs robust cybersecurity, several members warned against state mandates without corresponding funding. One council member said the city has spent substantially on cybersecurity in recent years and cautioned that unfunded mandates would pose financial strain on smaller cities.

Other items mentioned as regional priorities included short‑term rental regulation shifts from state to local control and PFAS legislation. City Manager Britney said she would convey the council’s input to the Space Coast League of Cities and report back on the regional prioritization before submission to the Florida League of Cities.","The council reviewed its legislative priorities for the coming session, emphasizing the Indian River Lagoon and concerns about unfunded cybersecurity mandates while noting other topics such as short‑term rentals and PFAS cleanup.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":91,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6453859,"Police Chief Jeff Pearson to retire Oct. 31; Deputy Chief Brad Hodge named interim chief",200,520000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5874408-6e8c9b2b8a3a1df7dba769260bde6826&start=520&end=720","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5874408-6e8c9b2b8a3a1df7dba769260bde6826/thumbnail_520000.jpg","/articles/6453859/Satellite-Beach/Brevard-County/Florida/Police-Chief-Jeff-Pearson-to-retire-Oct-31-Deputy-Chief-Brad-Hodge-named-interim-chief","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6453859-d17c9d4eef44293f002d32e43bac8c69/orig.mp4?Expires=1770709939&Signature=FqoAXQGS2KeSgi97K2bbYczSm5yXnOXTL331RyiCCxg4~mSAPJpUZMdVBIW9-EKB0u4IKI3NANguw6g8BMueI2gjh3tq05eIL7AWQaE9cbC1Au9rRSG~O1j1yLnynUswj9-7Knq68tXz30ux-F182ndEqVWj62heMLg3sPykNzfjCyly33Xr1k0gVHfnjmzCeAvNaSi1mPr9fLuOH5b4rkds2SmvCOz6aUjtX-2y1Dl4KwedV48nH72MrWO-uqQBuf98cQ1s7hPABsAElQ94qnndiSR~pl0SItXijkynRjmvSb94dBRpfofOSiOFY6pVw0J9aRdy0Us9EuWbXBB01A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City Manager Britney announced that Police Chief Jeff Pearson has formally notified the city of his retirement effective Oct. 31 after 38 years of service, including 14 years as chief.
