27. Sovereign Immunity. The City intends to avail itself of the benefits of Section 768.28, Florida

Diamond Square Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting · 2026-04-20 · agenda_item

This item concerns the City of Cocoa's intention to use sovereign immunity protections, as allowed by Florida law. This means the City will limit its liability for damages in agreements. The City will not be liable for punitive damages or interest before a judgment. For any single person, the City's liability is capped at $200,000. The total liability for claims arising from the same event is capped at $300,000. These protections will remain in effect even after any agreement ends. This is a legal and administrative matter currently under review by the Diamond Square Community Redevelopment Agency. No construction or development work is described in this item. Therefore, there are no direct contracting opportunities for trades, suppliers, or service providers at this time.
