Five Candidates have qualified to run for Commissioner  for the November Election.  Three Commission seats are open.  These are all for 2 year terms.  The Election will be on Tuesday November 3rd, 2020.    

One Candidate qualified for the office of Mayor/Commissioner.  Under Florida Law unopposed  Candidates are deemed to be elected and do not appear on the ballot.  Willow Martin will be sworn on as Mayor in November.

The next Cardinal issue (coming soon!) will have info about Willow and the Commission Candidates.

The replacement of the culvert at Dayton Blvd over the M-1 canal is completed and the road is reopened.  The sidewalk is awaiting installation of a safety guard rail on the west side and will be open as soon as this is accomplished.

The replacement of the culvert at Dayton Blvd is certainly one of the largest and most expensive projects the Town has undertaken, costing in the neighborhood of $350,000.  Thanks to the work of Bill Barrett, the Town's lobbyist in Tallahassee, most of this cost will be covered by a grant of $250,000 from the Florida State Legislature.  Mr. Barrett is now working with Mayor Salmon and the Town Commission to determine possible funding sources for road resurfacing and stormwater infrastructure.

The Town was facing a major expense in meeting a State mandated replacement of all our Police radios.  This was going to be a funding project that would stretch over several years.  Chief of Police  Gary Loos reached out to contacts at the State level and identified, applied for, and received a grant of $48,000 to fund the radio replacement.   

The Town Office is closed except by appointment .  To protect our employees and residents we do request that as much business as can be handled by dropping off forms or emailing them be done that way. If you need to meet with staff, please call for an appointment.  All visitors to the office are requested to wear masks.  If you are seeking to limit your exposure to others and do not feel comfortable  coming into the office, please contact us for alternatives.  

Town officials are monitoring the situation and participating in County-wide efforts to deal with this public health crisis.  News specific to Melbourne Village will be posted on the Board on Dayton Blvd, on Next-door, and on this site.  Please follow the Brevard County and State of Florida websites for information and advice .
