11/10/2026 - Brevard County Commission Meeting

Brevard County Board of County Commissioners meeting, November 10, 2026. The board unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding between the Parks and Recreation Department and the East Coast Zoological Society (Brevard Zoo), allowing the zoo to harvest suitable browse—including invasive Brazilian pepper—from county parks and Environmentally Endangered Lands sites for animal feed. The discussion described benefits to zoo animal nutrition and invasive-species removal; no dollar amount or paid contract was identified. The board also considered the 2027 meeting calendar, which includes six budget workshops from January through May in response to Amendment 3. Commissioners discussed anticipated revenue constraints, including reviewing services the county is not mandated to provide, possible cuts or alternative revenues, and the roughly $800,000 annual cost of crossing guards. Staff said it was already reviewing such services. A motion and second to approve the calendar were heard, but the vote outcome is unclear in the transcript.

The meeting also covered flood response and recovery, including debris pickup, resident damage reports, and steps toward a FEMA disaster declaration and possible individual assistance; no related procurement award was reported. A petition to vacate a portion of a park was approved unanimously. No competitive bids, vendor selections, or other contract awards were identified.
