III. D
elegations:
1. Marcus L. Wheeler called attention to parks in Diamond Square and solicited the board
for economic assistance in the upgrade of the Median located in Rosa Lee Jones Blvd
as he does not believe there has been much capital improvement in the area . He does
not
believe signage has improved in Diamond Square and wishes to bring that to the
attention of the board; he is willing to come back if need be.
i. A
fter Wheeler’s statements, Agency Member Brown and Director Neuterman
discussed the median he had mentioned, with Director Neuterman stating that

Page 3 of 7
she would need to get information from the City Manager and Public Works
that she will then bring back to the board. Director Neuterman stated that an
interlocal agreement would need to be made since one part of the median
belongs to Cocoa and the other belongs to Rockledge. Regarding signage, she
would also need to go to Public Works to gather information regarding pricing
and other options. Marcus noted that maintenance on the median is being done
by Rockledge.
2. Sheila Prude had a non CRA related issue that was taken care of by Direct
or
N
euterman.
3. Anita Gibson discussed home growth improvement and her concerns with it. Wants to
stay on budget with the police, wants Diamond Square to protect the area. Discussed
the 4 Corners area and w ants CRA to keep an eye on the budget to keep Cocoa
protected.
i. Board Liaison Goins discussed the four corners area and shared that there will
be three upcoming community meetings at the Joe Lee Smith Center that he
encourages citizens to attend. There was a discussion regarding road 520 with
Board Liaison Goins stating that there are no plans at the moment to extend it.
He further discussed the four corners by explaining that they are at a crossroads
regarding what they want in the area. Several of the agency members expresse
d
how
with new businesses coming in they do not want the Diamond Square area
to lose its character, while Vice Chairperson McQueen stated that she wants to
make sure that no one is trying to marginalize the area. There are businesses
that are restricted from opening up in that area, but the ownership is on the
owners of the building. They will lease their land to whoever is willing to buy
it, but they do know what is wanted and what is not wanted. Board Liaison
Goins then asked Director Neuterman to bring back the market list the
Southwest owner had previously sent over. The Board Liaison also stated that
the council is not in agreement with the current plan for the area and there are
some challenges with the land such as landowner rights and it being a private
property. He then highlighted how compromising can at times be difficult
.

V. A
ction Items:
1. Request Agency approval for an application to the Beautification Grant Program in
an amount not to exceed $500 for the property located at 715 South Varr Ave, Cocoa,
Florida and authorize the City Manager to execute a Beautification Grant Agreement.
Since 1998, the objective of the Diamond Square Community Redevelopment
A
gency (CRA) Plan has been to leverage the neighborhood’s existing assets to
support the revitalization of the area and remove the blighting influences identified in
t
he original “Finding of Necessity” study. Over the past, the City and CRA have
invested substantially in upgrading infrastructure, removing blighted structures,
a
ssembling land and funding façade improvements.

Page 4 of 7
The Plan update in 2014 was created to build on prior years, serving as a guide to
implement the community’s vision through refocusing on the roles, priorities, and
connections of the CRA and with other organizations. The update was intended to
support desired growth and development in order to stimulate private investment and
enhance community identity.
The Beautification Grant Program has budgeted funds in FY 2025 to award grants
throughout the fiscal year. Applications are subject to availability of funds which are
awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis to homeowners meeting all Program
eligibility requirements. The program eligibility requirements are as follows:
Applicant/homeowner must reside in the home requesting participation in the
program. Home shall not be named in any outstanding code enforcement liens.
In this instance, the applicant is Edith Davis of 715 South Varr Ave, Cocoa Fl. Mrs.
Davis has met all the requirements and staff are requesting agency approval to award
the applicant an amount not to exceed $500.
Director Neuterman discussed the grant with the board and stated that the applicant
(Edith Davis) provided all necessary documents and is eligible. Staff are requesting
agency approval for an amount not to exceed $500. Agency Member Brown made a
motion to approve Edith Davis for the grant, and it was seconded by Agency
Member McQueen.

Recommendation for approval from the UpStart Committee to the Diamond Square
Agency is based on the following criteria: estimated cost of the proposed eligible
expenses (listed above), strength of the business plan (attached to this agenda item),
evaluation of applicant performance in the weVENTURE program, potential
economic and fiscal impact of the proposed business on the City of Cocoa and
Diamond Square community, location of the proposed business (home based business
in Diamond Square), and external funding available to the applicant.

Ms. O'Neal plans to provide the following for her community enrichment component
to the program where applicants are required to give back to the community in some
way prior to the end of their loan agreement with the City of Cocoa:
A Taste of Elegance plans to host two different community workshops/classes. The
first will be an eating healthy and wellness workshop for adults and the second will
be a youth cooking class.

The template agreement has been attached. This agreement will need to be executed
with Ms. O'Neal. To expedite the loan process, staff is requesting the authorization of
the City Manager to negotiate and execute the loan agreement consistent with the
attached Exhibit. Also, staff are requesting approval of any business-related expenses
that have occurred by the applicant over the past 8 months while completing the
Ignite 360 program.

information regarding the applicant. Her name is Erica O’ Neal, she applied for the
program and was approved. She completed the necessary steps and is now wishing to
use the remaining funds, Director Senger then requested that the City Manager be
authorized to approve the program.

Kathy from UpStart then spoke about the applicant. She praised her for being a quick
learner and stated that she already has clients. Director Senger added that all
commissary kitchens need a base kitchen to work out, prior to Erica there was only
one and they were going to Orlando for the commissary kitchen.

Erica was then given a chance to speak, and she started by thanking the program and
the city for providing it. She stated it was vital, and she has not only learned a lot but
also gained tools needed to grow. The program has helped her improve and reimagine
her business. She also shared that the program had expert guidance and there were
mentors with many different backgrounds. She thanked the city for supporting
initiatives that support small businesses and women, she also thanked Director
Senger for her hard work and help during this time.

Chairperson Moore asked if what Erica said could be used on the Diamond Square
CRA website, to which Erica said yes.

Erica and Agency Member Brown then had a discussion on what she was planning on
doing to meet the community enrichment component of the agreement. She has ideas
to help educate individuals on healthy food and mentions doing cooking classes at
some point, she also has 3 years to complete the community enrichment component.
A motion was made by Vice Chairperson McQueen to approve Erika the loan, and it

Transcript Partial transcript

Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard. It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's minutes do that (above). A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, as the City's file, in a new tab.

How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 16 voices separated from the audio. 27 short machine repair(s) (38 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one. Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs and whether a voice was detected where the words are. Not completed: language review. A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 94.3% of 11,192 content words. Dotted words (230 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading. 235 passages (20% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there. Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.

Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

Um, the economic impact has been, uh, greatly assisted within the historical area within the CRA. I would like to call the attention of the board to Pine Grove Park and Virginia Park subdivisions specifically. These combined areas consist of the greatest tax base within the CRA, but it's seen little to no capital improvement.

located on Rosalie Jones Boulevard. This median was installed under the direct assistance of the former,

[00:11:33] ▶ Play No voice detected

uh,

[00:11:34] ▶ Play Speaker 9

Council Lady Jewel Collins, some now 30 years ago, or in excess, with an intent to beautify the foremost, uh, the aforementioned neighborhoods. All of this, uh, should have been done within some reasonable timeline, but naturally nothing was done other than the, uh, effects of, we'll say deciduous trees being planted that have seen little to no pruning since their installation many years ago. Um, to move beyond that,

medians within these two cities, but neither has been done other than the maintenance of such medians thus to this point. So we do appreciate that, but more is still, I would definitely say, needed. Also, in summation of why I decided to bring myself forward this evening, because I know that October normally brings new opportunities towards budget planning and all of those initiatives that come in tow, I've seen great efforts towards signage

we'll say within this still CRA. There has been no immediate nor past consideration for improvement within the signage and or lighting improvements within these two highly revenue tax bases that generate more income for the city of Cocoa than any other land within this diamond square. So I would like to bring that also to your attention, that this is something that I would like ‸ to see some level of traction from this board specific, because I do understand

so what can we do

[00:14:04] ▶ Play Speaker 7

I'll have to get with the city manager and the Public Works director who would be able to provide direction to me and I can present that direction back to you

right there what can be done about that I

[00:14:46] ▶ Play Speaker 7 + overlapping voice

believe what we can do is I will get again with the Public Works director on that and we will get some quotes from sign makers to present to you as an agency on different types of signage that can be placed there at the Virginia Park and the previous Public Works director had estimated that a sign which would be the exact same sign that's there which is a brick sign with the Virginia Park

I would yeah I would think that we would get that input from the community itself as well, because we want to make sure that we're not destroying anything that's historical for that for that community that they may consider to be historical.

[01:13:14] ▶ Play Speaker 8

Yes. I'd like to ask staff a question. Um, I'm going to miss miss Smith being on the board, but what's the process? Because we work with a full ‸ board for so long and I don't want that big gap without working with a full board. So what's the process?

the city clerk has to, uh, advertise for the opening. It has to be advertised on the streets. ‸ I believe 60 days. And once those applications are received, those applications will be presented before the city council for approval based on the number of applicants that are received.

I've

seen it. Oh yeah.

[01:15:22] ▶ Play Speaker 7 + overlapping voice · overlapping voices

Yeah. We've worked, uh, with them on, on that plus the landscaping. So you're going to see some landscaping changes that'll be added once they have put the fence in, they'll be working on the landscaping components. So I think you'll start seeing that, uh, probably within the next few months, they're working on getting the reclaimed water connected before they put the landscaping in so that they'll have all of that, uh, in place at the same time. I spoke with them today and I told them how nice it looked when I saw it.

[01:15:54] ▶ Play Speaker 5

And so, um, I'll just say this on a record so that people can follow it. Uh, HB 201, HB 203, HB 205, HB 207, HB 209, HB 211, HB 213, and HB 215 are all House bill proposals to be on the ballot for 2026. So, um, I'm not sure what's going to happen.

Republican representative that's going to probably follow that same agenda.

Um, some of those representatives are here currently, um, while they're, you know, waiting for ‸ session to begin ‸ again. So they'll, you know, it'll be good sometimes to make those, uh, one-on-one connections with some of the representatives. So, yeah, it's going to be, I don't know what's going to happen, but, you

of course, uh, ‸ based on the property tax.

[01:18:08] ▶ Play Speaker 7

Uh,

[01:18:09] ▶ Play Speaker 4

so we have to look at all of it. We have to determine is, you know, how is it going to hurt us? It's going to hurt more than just CRAs.

[01:18:16] ▶ Play Speaker 12 + overlapping voice · overlapping voices

I believe it hurts on city services, I think.

[01:18:19] ▶ Play No voice detected

Right.

[01:18:19] ▶ Play Speaker 12

Um, you know, I, I, I pay property tax like everybody else and, uh, you know, I don't want to pay it either. Right. But if

[01:18:28] ▶ Play Speaker 4 + overlapping voice · overlapping voices

we have to

[01:18:28] ▶ Play Speaker 12 + overlapping voice · overlapping voices

have those services to provide as well, when I call 9-1-1, I want to get somebody. And so we, we, you know, uh, salaries are going up and our, our, um, administration, police, fire,

[01:18:41] ▶ Play Attribution uncertain

um,
