Donation. The council approved a $1,000 donation to Double O Athletics, a local 501(c)(3), to support a "100 Dreams" basketball camp at Cocoa High School. Terry Parks, president of Double O Athletics, described costs and fundraising plans and said the camp will serve 100 disadvantaged children with athletics and mentorship.

District reports and recognitions.
