1. Audrey Greyson discussed trees in the Diamond Square area. She believes that adding
The Diamond Square Community Redevelopment Agency is considering a proposal to add more trees to the Diamond Square area to provide shade and environmental benefits. Shade sails are also being considered as a temporary solution. This idea is currently under review, with potential challenges like maintenance, permits, and costs being discussed by the Cocoa Housing Authority and agency staff. While Lennar Homes is already planting trees as part of new housing construction, this broader initiative is being explored as a potential community project. The project could involve site preparation, tree planting, and potentially the installation of shade structures. Local contractors, landscapers, and suppliers of trees and shade structures may find opportunities as this concept moves forward.

A 55 and older housing community is planned for a flat greenspace area. The project, presented by Travis Lorenzen and Kate Ditulio, will involve students and aims to sell homes at appraised value with down payment assistance and potentially a forgivable loan.

4. Products & Services
The Diamond Square Community Redevelopment Agency in Cocoa, Florida, is reviewing a proposal for Wall's Bangin' BBQ. This business plans to offer mobile food service, pop-ups, takeout, and catering, specializing in smoked meats and homestyle sides. The business is seeking a $12,500 grant from the Cocoa UpStart Program to fund inventory supplies, equipment upgrades, marketing, and commissary kitchen rent. The proposal is currently under review. This project would involve the purchase of food and inventory, equipment maintenance, and marketing efforts. It may also lead to the need for commissary kitchen space and associated fees. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in food service, equipment, and marketing could find opportunities by engaging with Wall's Bangin' BBQ early in its development process, before final plans and permits are set.

5. Should a Forgivable Loan be awarded by the Cocoa City Council, the Small Business shall execute
This item concerns a potential forgivable loan program to be awarded by the Cocoa City Council. If approved, a small business would need to sign program agreements, possibly including a security agreement for equipment or inventory funded by the city. After agreements are signed, the business could request reimbursements for approved expenses up to the loan amount. This item is currently under review. The work would involve businesses acquiring equipment and inventory, and then managing reimbursement requests. This early stage presents an opportunity for local contractors, suppliers, and service providers to understand the program's requirements and potentially offer services or goods that align with the funded expenses. Reaching out now could provide an advantage before specific equipment or inventory needs are finalized.

This agenda item concerns a forgivable loan agreement between the City of Cocoa and Wall's Bangin' BBQ, LLC, related to the Upstart Diamond Square Small Business Program. The agreement outlines terms for default and remedies, including potential termination, specific performance, injunctive relief, cessation of payments, and reimbursement of funding. The City Council has discretion over remedies, except for immediate payment cessation. The City must provide written notice of default and a 30-day period for the Grantee to cure the issue before taking further action, unless the action is an immediate cessation of payments. This item is currently under review as part of the City of Cocoa's redevelopment efforts. The scope of work involves the administration and potential enforcement of a financial agreement, rather than physical construction. Businesses that provide legal services, financial consulting, or business advisory services may find opportunities related to contract review, negotiation, and compliance. Engaging early could allow service providers to understand the program's structure and offer support before final approvals or potential default scenarios arise.
