Presentations
Details of the agenda items are listed below:
- The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office will present an overview to assist City Council during the upcoming budget preparations. The City of Palm Coast does not have its own police department and instead contracts with the Sheriff’s Office for enhanced law enforcement services throughout the City.
- City administration will present an overview of Strategic Action Plan projects. Over the course of the Strategic Action Plan Evaluation Process, City Council directed staff to provide a timeline, budget projections, and the resources needed to implement the adopted City Council Priorities. Staff will provide a presentation that details this information for City Council consideration and feedback.
- The Community Development Department will present an update of their department to assist Council during the upcoming budget preparations. This overview will detail the current operational workload, successful business-friendly initiatives, and future opportunities.
- The Economic Development Division will present information on the types of incentives that are possible for business recruitment and business expansion that will help to diversify the city’s business industry sectors.
- The Stormwater & Engineering Department will present a Facility Assessment of Fire Station 22. This assessment outlines the steps required to repurpose Fire Station 22 to preserve its historical value and expand visitor awareness in Palm Coast. A contract to provide professional design services was awarded to Schenkel Schultz Architecture. Included in the scope of work was for the design professional to assess the existing Fire Station 22 and provide a report on the facility identifying deficiencies, possible future uses, remediation methods, and an estimate of probable cost. This presentation is to review the results of the report.
