City Council Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns a planned application for federal funding through the FEMA SAFER Program. The City of Cocoa is seeking approval to apply for this grant. The SAFER Program aims to help fire departments increase staffing levels and improve their capacity to respond to emergencies. If awarded, the grant funds could support the hiring of additional firefighters and related personnel. This early stage means potential opportunities for businesses involved in the application process and, if successful, in supporting expanded emergency services. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this item as it progresses through the application and potential award phases.
