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.
The agenda for the City Council Workshop Meeting on Tuesday, September 10 at 9 a.m. will be as follows:
Presentations
The following minutes of the City Council will be presented for approval:
- William Blend, a Shareholder with MSL CPAs and Advisors, will present to the City Council on the topic of Forensic Audits and Other Government Engagements. City Council requested that staff seek proposals for an educational presentation on forensic audits.

To support City Council’s Strategic Action Plan priorities, City Council approved a contract with ABLE Operations, LLC, to complete a targeted industry feasibility study on November 7, 2023.

- The Human Resources Department and Strategic Government Resources (SGR) will discuss the search for a new City Manager. At the June 18, 2024, Business Meeting, Council approved the contract with SGR. The direction from Council was for SGR to start developing the recruitment profile, recruitment process, and brochure in late August or early September. SGR will provide an overview to assist City Council in developing the City Manager recruitment profile and discuss the next steps.
- The Information Technology Department will discuss a resolution approving an option and ground lease agreement with Diamond Towers V, LLC for the construction of a telecommunications tower at 100 Park Square. The tower will be a monopole style tower with a full antennae array. This facility will have the capacity to accommodate at least four carriers. This site is not identified in the Wireless Master Plan and will have to go before the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board for a special exception.
- The Fire Department will deliver a presentation on pile burning within the City of Palm Coast. This presentation was prompted by citizen concerns on the issue of land development clearing pile burning and will include options for what actions City Council may take to restrict or prohibit pile burning within the City.
