CareerSource Brevard, a not-for-profit organization, is applying for the City of Palm Bay to co-sponsor its Veteran Focused Job Fair which will take place on Wednesday, February 7th at the Tony Rosa Community Center. This event will promote the city as a desirable place to live, visit and do business, and enhance the quality of life and well-being of some or all residents of the community. CareerSource Brevard has funded staff to work at the Turkey Creek Sanctuary periodically since April of 2017. They have worked on projects related to Hurricanes Matthew, Irma, and Dorian. CareerSource administered over one million dollars in labor, tools, equipment, and vehicle rentals for our projects over the ~ 4 ½ years they were at the sanctuary. Other CareerSource crews worked at Facilities and Public Works during this time.

This event is expected to attract around 400+ participants throughout the day. The organization is requesting for the fees to be waived: (a) special event fee ($150.00), (b) gymnasium rental fee ($750.00), (c) floor covering fee ($300.00), and (d) fire inspection fee ($75.00). The organization is requesting use of City Hall and recreation center message boards for advertisement, as well as assistance from the city to market the event. The total cost to the City will be $1,275.00.
