Cocoa council authorizes city manager to solicit bids for programmable LED message board at Dixon & Fisk
Summary
Council authorized staff to solicit bids and identify funding to install a programmable digital LED message board at the Dixon/Fisk intersection on city property to improve outreach and emergency messaging; council asked staff to return with cost estimates.
The council unanimously authorized the city manager to solicit bids and proceed with procurement and installation of a programmable digital LED message board at an identified city‑owned parcel at the intersection of Dixon Boulevard and Fisk Boulevard.
The proponent said the sign would expand the city’s ability to communicate town‑hall notices, meeting information and emergency messages, especially to residents who lack internet access. The council asked staff to evaluate multi‑facing sign options for visibility from different approaches, identify an exact price and funding source (general fund balance or other) and return with a feasibility/cost report before installation. The proponent estimated message boards “around $9,000 to $10,000” but council requested a formal procurement cost analysis.
Motion passed by unanimous vote; staff will bring a detailed cost estimate and implementation plan back to council.
