2. Consideration to discontinue participation in the FCDA Grant Program for the Fire
Station Redevelopment Project. -Phillip Trocquet, Assistant Town Manager
Mr. Trocquet explained that, after receiving FCDA grant funds to redevelop the old fire
station property into a food truck park, the DDA directed staff to conduct a pilot project
at Shamrock Park to evaluate feasibility before committing additional funds.
He shared that staff managed the food truck park at Shamrock Park on Fridays and
Saturdays from September through November for lunch and dinner. Due to limited
success, staff concluded that a full-food truck park would not generate enough revenue
to break even or earn modest profits for future redevelopment.
Staff recommended that the DDA discontinue participation in the FCDA Grant Program
for the Fire Station Redevelopment Project.
A motion was made to discontinue participation in the FCDA Grant Program for the Fire
Station Redevelopment Project and to refund the $50,000 seed funds.
Motion made by Treasurer McDuffie, Seconded by Board Member Mount.
Voting Yea: Chairman Campbell, Vice-Chair Reese, Treasurer McDuffie, Board Member
Mount, Board Member She, Board Member Kaufman.

Trocquet, Assistant Town Manager
Mr. Trocquet highlighted statistics for the pop-up food truck park. He noted that 15 food
trucks participated, with a 72% participation rate. Chairman Campbell commented that
the DDA should continue the pop-up truck park at Shamrock Park on a seasonal basis.
Mr. Trocquet shared that the DDA had two options for the property. The DDA could
either outright sell the property or enter into a ground lease. Attorney Cox then
mentioned bonds as another option through a private investor.
Mr. Trocquet requested the next steps for the 935 Senoia Road property from the board.
Treasurer McDuffie requested more information on those options.
Mr. Perkins suggested that staff come back to the board with additional information
regarding the property by the next meeting.

Board Member Mount announced that the Christmas Tree Lighting at Shamrock Park would
