Palm Coast – The Palm Coast City Council will hold a special business meeting to discuss the search for a new City Manager. The City Manager job posting opened on September 17 and closed on October 18 after receiving 91 applications. This special meeting is an opportunity for City Council members to discuss the applicants, hear the top five picks from each council member, and narrow down the pool semi-finalists for the position.
This meeting is open to the public and Palm Coast residents are strongly encouraged to attend. An increase in public engagement helps to build a stronger sense of community, increases valuable discussions, and decreases division.
The special meeting will be broken down into two parts:
- Part 1- Each Council Member will provide staff with their top 5 candidates for tally during the special meeting.
- Part 2- Once the tally is completed, Council will be provided a new list of the top candidates. Council will then choose their top candidates to be selected for an interview. Staff will seek Council direction on interview process next steps.
This meeting will be streamed live on the City’s YouTube channel.
Public Comments will be opened at the beginning and end of the business meeting in accordance with Section 286.0114 Florida Statutes and pursuant to the City Council’s Meeting Policies and Procedures. Each speaker will approach the podium, provide his/her name and may speak for up to 3 minutes.
