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, increase valuable discussions, and decrease division.
The agenda for the City Council Workshop Meeting on Tuesday, April 22, at 9 a.m. will be as follows:
Presentations
The following presentations will be presented:
1. The Financial Services Department will present the Annual Investment Report, providing a detailed summary of all invested funds—including types, amounts, maturity dates, earnings, and yields—along with performance comparisons to benchmarks.
2. The Financial Services Department will present the Year-to-Date Budget results for operating departments for Fiscal Year 2025, October through March.
3. The Parks and Recreation Department will give a presentation on the Palm Harbor Golf Club, including diversifying revenue options, a maintenance analysis, and budget projections. City Council requested the presentation at the January 2, 2025, Business Meeting.
4. The Parks and Recreation Department will give a presentation on the Palm Coast Aquatics Center which will include an overview of the facility’s current operations, programming, and community use. Additionally, the YMCA will give a presentation that will include an overview of their current programming in neighboring communities and a mock-up of a YMCA facility in Palm Coast.
5. The Stormwater and Engineering Department will give a presentation providing an update on the 10-Year Capital Improvement Plan. This will include an update on current projects like the two Fire Stations under construction, recreational enhancements, and roadway improvement projects.
6. The City Administration will give a presentation on the Strategic Action Plan Evaluation Workshop. As part of this annual process, staff conducts one-on-one interviews with each Council Member to review the Strategic Action Plan and ensure current priorities continue to align with the City’s long-term vision, mission, and values. Feedback from these sessions is consolidated into a report comparing individual input to the adopted priorities, and the Council is asked to review this information and be prepared to discuss any potential amendments to the plan.
Public Comments will be opened at the beginning and end of the business meeting by Section 286.0114 Florida Statutes and under 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.
Proclamations and award presentations during evening business meetings will now begin at 5:30 p.m., 30 minutes before the meeting start time. Additionally, public comments on non-agenda items will be limited to 30 minutes at the beginning and end of each meeting. This schedule is subject to change due to holidays or other unforeseen circumstances.
