Palm Coast—The City of Palm Coast will host the two finalists for the City Manager position on Thursday, November 13, 2025, and invites residents to participate in a day of public engagement. Exact times will be announced as the date approaches.

The finalists are:

  • David Fraser: With more than 30 years of municipal leadership experience across several states. He currently serves as Interim County Manager in Adams County, Colorado, and has led city and state organizations managing budgets up to $1 billion. His background includes strategic planning, intergovernmental relations, and securing major grants and revenue for community projects.

  • Michael McGlothlin: Brings nearly 40 years of public service experience in municipal management and law enforcement. As Town Administrator for Redington Shores, Florida, and former City Administrator and Police Chief in Oregon, he’s led multimillion-dollar projects, coordinated emergency responses, and built strong community partnerships.

Residents are encouraged to attend the public interviews, which will be held at Palm Coast City Hall, located at 160 Lake Avenue. The interviews will also be live-streamed on the City of Palm Coast YouTube channel.

Later that evening, the City will host a Community Meet & Greet in the Jon Netts Community Wing. This informal event will give residents the opportunity to meet both candidates, ask questions, and share their thoughts. Light refreshments will be served.

In addition to the public sessions, both candidates will spend the day engaging with city leadership, including one-on-one interviews with City Council Members, a meeting with the Executive Leadership Team, and a guided tour of Palm Coast.

This is a key step in the selection process for the next City Manager, and community input is a valued part of the decision. All residents are encouraged to participate. More information is available here: https://www.palmcoast.gov/city-manager-finalists
