Palm Coast – The Palm Coast City Council meets regularly to discuss and vote on official City business. These meetings are 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.
A business meeting will take place beginning at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 1, 2022. Details of the items on the agenda are listed below.
- The City of Palm Coast Wellness and Safety Teams will proudly present the Annual Health and Safety Employee Calendar. Relatives of the City Employees, 18 years and younger, were invited to participate by submitting a drawing or painting about health, safety, and workplace safety. These calendars are fun and generate excitement and really brought out the competitive spirit in the kids. This presentation honors the winners with their own copy of the Health and Safety Calendar along with a City of Palm Coast goody bag for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each age category.
- The Palm Coast City Council will present a proclamation for Flood Awareness Week. As part of the City’s responsibility to maintain a high rank in the Community Rating System (CRS), a series of social media posts geared to educate citizens about all things flood related is planned for Flood Awareness Week. Staff hopes that by conducting this week of awareness, it will spur conversations that will be beneficial to all citizens.
- The Planning Division will present information on the Insurance Services Office (ISO) ratings for Building, Fire, and Floodplain Management. This presentation will educate citizens and staff on what the ratings mean and how they affect the community.
