Shirley Navarro-senior living complaints. Complaint against Kelly Eckhart,
Community Director in charge of her residence. Issues with building
maintenance. Requests Council advocate for the residents.
Celia Pugliese-two issues, Lake Forest HOA and Cell Towers. Who insures the
towers? Concerned about property values going down if a tower is in the
neighborhood. Wants Council to reconsider the location.
Burgess Stone, Cimmaron Dr-the City added signs on Cimmaron Drive but it is
not helping. There is no place to walk. The City also added a caution school bus
sign but a tree is blocking it. There are many potholes in the street, and the
residents do not understand why you can't paint the curb and give a little walking
space.
Robert MacDonald-coming to these meetings for 6 or 7 years and have seen
disastrous meetings and civil meetings. There are some major issues coming up
- housing, police, overcrowded schools. Please remember whatever your attitude
is towards each other, leave it at the door. This is sacred land. Let's make this
City the best in Florida.
Paul Vargo, 21 Colorado-seawall at condominiums on Clubhouse Dr. Litigation
document is in the courts. Palm Club vs SE Cline Construction. Questionable
things he did to repair the seawall. Is the City paying attention to this case due to
asbestos? Repairs have not been completed. Submitted documents to the
Council.
Dell Arneaud, manages Winnerz Circle Youth sports-Need to have a recreation
center here for the youth. Lack of facilities in Palm Coast. Beneficial to the
community to have a rec center in addition to new courts and pools.
City of Palm Coast Created on 7/20/22
Steve Carr-will the ‘decorations’ put on a cell tower to make it look like a tree be
able to sustain the winds of a hurricane? Projects – what do residents do if land
use projects impact the residents after the projects are completed? Submitted
documents, which are attached to these minutes.
George Mayo-please remind everyone to mute their cell phones so as not to
interrupt the meeting. I use Frieda Zamba pool with my wife and want to give
kudos to the staff that keeps the pool so nice, and kudos to the public works
department for keeping our city looking good. Excellent job at the fireworks
display. Drones instead of fireworks may be a better solution.
Al Krier-Committee on Safety on Cimmaron. Gave Council an update on a
recanvassing of the residents on Cimmaron. Submitted documents, which are
attached to these minutes.
Dan Bryant, Crossgate Ct.-Committee on Safety on Cimmaron. Pleased with the
results we received from talking with people in the community. They like the idea
of a walkable community. Asked Council for a timeline and budget regarding
improvements on Cimmaron.
Responses to comments:
VM Branquinho-With regards to Robert MacDonald, no matter which side of the
door I am on, I am the same person. I follow the Sunshine Law.
CM Klufas-Cell towers. In 2016, establishing the Master Plan, we eliminated the
tree limbs. There will not be any cell phone towers that look like trees.
CM Fanelli-Addressed Mr. Krier and Mr. Bryant. Thank you for continuing to
seek solutions.

AGREEMENT UPDATE
Mr. Ray Tyner and Mr. Jose Papa presented to City Council on this item.
Mayor Alfin requested CM Klufas be the spokesperson for the Committee
meeting as Mayor Alfin is the chair of the Committee.
Ms. Borkert provided Council with guidance on the proposed options.
CM Fanelli-Due to my relationship with the School Board, I am recusing myself
from voting and discussion on this item. Mayor Alfin requested confirmation from
the City Attorney. Ms. Borkert confirmed she has discussed this with CM Fanelli
and he is fine not to vote or participate.
Mr. Sean Moylan, Assistant County Attorney provided an overview of the
proposed changes to the Interlocal Agreement.
Mayor Alfin requested clarification in legal risk regarding the funding options. Mr.
Sean Moylan provided a response to Council.
Ms. Borkert provided an overview of the approval process for a new ILA and how
this moves forward.
CM Danko-what happens during an economic downturn? Are developers
required to make payments if the development is slowed or not finished?
Ms. Patty Bott, Coordinator of Planning and Intergovernmental Relations for the
School Board. Provided Council with an overview of negotiated timeframes with
the developers. The developers asked for the 40/30/30 schedule proposed under
Prop Share. Also gave an overview of how the funds can be utilized, and how
getting more money upfront is necessary to qualify for bonding. Concerned that
City of Palm Coast Created on 7/20/22
spreading out the funding would lead to using temporary buildings to meet
student population increases instead of the county being able to build permanent
structures.
The direction given to CM Klufus for the July 8 meeting is that there is a
consensus on the process of reservation, that there is an ongoing discussion on
the phasing of the percentages, and that they certainly will ask the question are
those percentages chosen arbitrarily or do they have some backup or some
meaning?

H RESOLUTIONS
10 RESOLUTION 2022-XX APPROVING A CONTRACT WITH FCC ENVIRONMENTAL
SERVICES FLORIDA LLC, FOR RESIDENTIAL SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND
DISPOSAL OF RESIDENTIAL SOLID WASTE, YARD WASTE, BULK WASTE, AND
RECYCLING
R20220084
Ms. Borkert read the title into the record.
Mr. Mancill presented to Council. Ms. Alyson Trulock, Consultant also presented
to Council.
FCC is available for Council questions.
CM Danko requested why WastePro was not chosen if it was the low bidder. Mr.
Mancill provided the evaluation teams criteria.
CM Fanelli-what is the advantage of an increase in routes? Ans: Mr. Dan Brazil
from FCC explained that this impacts customer service. Labor is challenging, but
we do have a buffer built into our network to maintain pickup schedules.
CM Fanelli-More routes means you will employ more people? Ans: Yes.
VM Branquinho-Where is your landfill? Ans: Volusia County. Mr. Mancill advised
there is an Interlocal Agreement with Volusia County.
VM Branquinho-Video recordings from the trucks and public records. Mr. Brazil
explained how the video technology works, and what records are available to the
City.
Mayor Alfin-when you are negotiating on the future use of a dump site, are you
also considering a short dump site? Ans: Mr. Mancill-Yes, that will be part of the
analysis for the future.
City of Palm Coast Created on 7/20/22
Mayor Alfin-Current contract or Agreement did not have any increment or CPI
increase? Ans: Mr. Mancill-Correct, it does not contain a rate increase.
Council held a lengthy discussion on local preference, and the RFP process.
Public Comments:
Heather Badger-Felmet, longtime resident of Palm Coast. I stand here today
with employees who will stand with WastePro. We are committed to Palm
Coast. WastePro employees want work-life balance, they are happy to live,
work, and play in Palm Coast. Local payroll exceeds $5 million and 75+
dedicated employees. WastePro has shorter driving times to landfills. Our
technology is the same as FCC. Submitted documents to Council.
Eric Thomas-Lives here and works for WastePro. WastePro wages are higher.
Fuel costs-I will not drive to Daytona to get a truck and drive around picking up
Palm Coast garbage. WastePro is improving, changing the culture, new
manager. You’re taking our money and giving it to Daytona.
Richie Mercer, resident and WastePro employee-our equipment is second to
none. Driving to Daytona does not make sense, drivers are limited to driving 14
hours per day. Fees do not add up.
Robert MacDonald-Does not understand, the question about the money, how
much will this now cost us, more? Why didn’t the residents have input?
Michael Morea, owns Environmental Land Services of Flagler County-was not
asked to participate or quote a price to use his landfill property. More routes are
because you have to truck the trash to Volusia. Really look at what is going on.
You should re-evaluate. Also, look at the Interlocal Agreement and evaluate.
Greg Blose-urges Council to support the local company and keep WastePro.
When WastePro is asked to participate or contribute, they always come through.
They are local, they spend local, and live here. Discussed the City’s process in
selecting FCC. WastePro was not asked to negotiate. Why would you give up
the economic impact funds of a company as large as WastePro?
Gene Dowd-no association with WastePro but this is a company that was hired
in 2007. Wants to thank WastePro.
Jason (no last name given), longtime resident-believes WastePro will stick with
it. Small business owner, works hand in hand with WastePro, they give back to
the Community. Google rating 3.9 for FCC and WastePro is 4.6. These are
employees that we need to give back to in our community. FCC hires temps and
WastePro hires full time employees.
Chad Felnitz, WastePro employee-they get the job done. They participate in
local events and support the community. It makes no sense to change company.
Celia Pugliese-I have been served in an excellent manner by WastePro. What
about the city policy of buy local? They do an excellent job. Keep WastePro.
City of Palm Coast Created on 7/20/22
Shawn Sanchez, homeowner and resident of Palm Coast and an employee of
WastePro. When you tell me you want to take my job away from me and give it
to a foreign company – I’ve already tried them, they didn’t work out for me. The
members of the community believe in us. You guys are ready to throw us away.
We have given all we have to be out there. I am WastePro for life.
Steve Carr-toured the WastePro facility. They are proud of their employees.
VM Branquinho continued Public Comment for Mayor Alfin:
Danielle (no last name provided)-resident since 1992 and a WastePro employee.
WastePro cares about their employees. We will remain a team.
Dennis McDonald-there should be a sense of fairness on the five of you to do
the right thing here. These people had the lowest bid. Then FCC was concocted
to be $.20 lower. Are you going to change contracts for less than one percent?
This is absolute insanity. This isn’t fair.
Mayor Alfin returned to Public Comment:
Brian Wintjen, RVP for WastePro-thanked Council for the opportunity to serve
the community; thanked Council for the opportunity to bid. We are very
disappointed in how the ranking and scoring was completed. WastePro was not
afforded the same opportunity for a negotiated fee. Why weren't we given the
same opportunity to negotiate the best and final price? We can operate with
fewer trucks because we utilize local facilities. Requested Council award
WastePro and enter into negotiations.
Kimberly Thomas-Her husband and her son work for WastePro. WastePro has
become a family to us. They treat us well. WastePro is where they will stay.
Carolyn Rakoczy-this is my family (WastePro); this company has taught me so
much. These guys all back each other. We want to be here.
Charles Murkley, FCC regional sales-we have heard a lot tonight. FCC went
through this process twice. We will ingrain ourselves in the community. We are
excited about coming here. We understand what community is. We understand
relationships. We can start those relationships. FCC is looking forward to being
your partner. You will have a local flavor and local people working this contract.
Ron Sanders, WastePro employee-if a storm hits, we are here because we live
here. Anything can happen with garbage.
Ron Wilson, former FCC employee now works for WastePro-very happy, great
pay and great piece of mind; the garbage is cleaner up here than in Volusia
County.
Lauren Jones-WastePro invested in the community, they sponsor my bowling
league; the comments are positive now for WastePro. You have a company with
a proven track record.
City of Palm Coast Created on 7/20/22
Anonymous resident of Palm Coast (did not state her name)-never had an issue
with WastePro. Works for Flagler County in the air conditioning. Has never
experienced what these employees experience. She is now the wife of a
WastePro driver. He is a dedicated employee. Works until the job is done.
WastePro loves this community, and they do a good job.
Mindy Mercer-I have seen both sides of the complaints and comments. 90% of
the time, the customers understand. We live here and want to be here.
Ted Phillips-WastePro employee. To be a garbage man, you need to have
dedication, loyalty, commitment, and customer service. After doing a ten hour
day in the heat today, we are here to support. Let's keep this and give WastePro
what they deserve. They have a family heart.
Gary Kunnas, Palm Coast resident-I think it would be a big mistake to change.
Our driver picks up paper that falls out, and the neighbors wine bottles that blow
around. They are good people, they try. People that complain aren’t putting their
trash out properly. If they were trained and put out their trash correctly, there
wouldn’t be any complaints.
Dave Ramirez, FCC-thanked the City for the opportunity to bid. We want to
reassure everyone there is a reason why we designed our plan the way we did.
Please follow the recommendation of your City staff.
Tim Dolan, VP WastePro-Talked about service during COVID, and how
WastePro made adjustments then and now, to routes and trucks. More trucks,
more employees equal more breakdowns, more call outs. Travel time to Volusia
is a factor.
Mitch Dahlstrom, Director at FCC-I respect the comments made and the
passion. I will assure you, we put our people first, and their safety first.
Council held further discussion on this item.
Ms. Borkert provided a scenario of what happens if they do not approve the
contract with FCC. Are there other metrics that the City needs to review from the
RFP? If the contract is not approved, Council needs to provide direction in
accordance with the procurement process.
CM Danko-The metric not presented is what is right in front of us here tonight. All
of you folks live, work, play, and spend here in Palm Coast. You are part of this
community. I cannot vote for this contract.
CM Fanelli-WastePro, not having to run to Volusia and pay for all that drive time,
why did WastePro not come in lower?
CM Klufas-Same boat here, we are looking at the result of a fortified process that
is in place, we can't put a value on all these employees. Again, I fall back to the
metric, resources unchanged. Our bid process is outlined. At the end of the day,
FCC was a penny lower. The lack of a bid protest tells me the process was
good.
City of Palm Coast Created on 7/20/22
VM Branquinho-it is our job to make a decision. One side you have a company
that did everything by the book and the other side states they were not afforded
the opportunity. This decision tears you inside.
Mayor Alfin-requested Ms. Borkert, regarding the loyalty of the employees of
WastePro. Has there been transactional engagement between FCC and
WastePro? Can I ask that question? Ans: Yes, you can ask for informational
purposes. Mayor: Council is looking at the employment of the residents as
extremely important. Are you aware of any consolidations? Ans: Mr. Mancill - I
do not have any knowledge.
Council held another discussion on the item.

I PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Remainder of Public Comments is limited to three (3) minutes each.
Robert MacDonald-question for the City Attorney, when a bid gets put in by
anyone, and then it is awarded, does anyone from the City or the Attorney's
office go over the contract to make sure every question was answered equally by
both parties? If there is a mistake, then the contract should be null and void. How
can you award the contract if Column A is different? CM Klufas was showing us
the mistake. Wants all to be treated fair and honestly.
J DISCUSSION BY CITY COUNCIL OF MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA
City of Palm Coast Created on 7/20/22
VM Branquinho-Congratulations to Mr. Jonathan Simmons on his new job. Tell
Brian we will miss him. Fireworks were great.
CM Klufas-Clarification, I was not saying there were mistakes, I wanted to know
if they came in lower, how would that have affected the outcome.
CM Klufas-asking for Council to realize there is more to the Green Lion as an
asset. Motion to extend the Green Lion’s Agreement execution time to the next
Council meeting and have a workshop with them to clarify the Agreement. Invite
them in for an agendaed item to allow them to speak. Mayor Alfin requested
clarification from the City Attorney on the motion.
CM Klufas would like to give the Green Lion more time to work with us.
Seconded by CM Fanelli for conversation.
CM Fanelli-disappointed they stopped negotiating two weeks prior. We have to
do what is in the best interest of Palm Coast. The current leasee is good.
CM Danko-tonight all the WastePro supporters were very respectful, they left
peacefully. The treatment we were subject to is inexcusable from the Marlows.
VM Branquinho-I do not like to be called a crook. I am not a crook. I think we
should do what we should do and protect the people of Palm Coast. I think we
should do what I suggested, get the meter for the kitchen. We cannot provide
free utilities.
Mayor Alfin encouraged the Green Lion to respond to the RFP. If they are the
best service and business model, then they will win the RFP. Motion failed 3 to
2. Dissenting VM Branquinho, CM Danko, and Mayor Alfin. Approved CM
Fanelli and CM Klufas.
Danko-congratulated the Fire Department and Animal Control for rescuing a
kitten trapped in an engine compartment of a car.
Fanelli-fireworks, great event.
Alfin-Food-A-Thon.

Subject PRESENTATION - 2022 WYLAND NATIONAL MAYOR'S CHALLENGE FOR
WATER CONSERVATION RESULTS
Presenter: Brittany Kershaw, Communications & Marketing Director
Background:
The City of Palm Coast was named one of five national winners in the 11th Annual Wyland
National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation by pledging to reduce water use by 51.5
million gallons over the next year. The annual campaign to promote water quality and water
resource resiliency ended on April 30th with mayors from 40 states vying to see whose city could
be the nation’s most “water wise.”
In addition to reducing overall water waste, residents from Palm Coast pledged to reduce their
use of single-use plastic water bottles by 119,543 and eliminate 3,152 pounds of hazardous
waste from entering watersheds. By altering daily lifestyle choices, residents also pledged to put
1,382,020 fewer pounds of waste in landfills. Potential savings of 194 million pounds of carbon
dioxide, 3.4 million kilowatt hours of electricity, and $646,977 in consumer cost savings rounded
out the final pledge results.
Residents from Palm Coast who took the pledge will now be entered into a drawing for
thousands of dollars in water-saving or eco-friendly prizes, including $3,000 toward their annual
home utility bill, home irrigation equipment from The Toro Company, gift cards for online
shopping at Hobie Surf Shops, and eco-friendly bathroom hand soaps from Petal. A $500 home
improvement store-shopping spree will also be chosen from among the entire pool of U.S.
participants.

Subject PRESENTATION - FLAGLER COUNTY SCHOOL PLANNING INTERLOCAL
AGREEMENT UPDATE
Presenter: Ray Tyner, Deputy Chief Community Development Officer and Jose Papa,
ACIP, Senior Planner
Background :
The City of Palm Coast entered into an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the School Board of
Flagler County, the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners, City Commission of the
City of Bunnell, and the City Commission of the City of Flagler Beach for Public School Facility
Planning in 2008. The School Board and Local Governments are required to enter into this
Agreement pursuant to Sections 163.31777, 1013.33, and 163.3177(6)(h)3., Florida Statutes, to
jointly establish the specific ways in which the plans and processes of the School Board and
Local Governments are to be coordinated. The benefits of the ILA are to recognize joint mutual
obligations for the appropriate planning of educational facilities and recognize the benefits that
will flow to the citizens and students of Flagler County by more closely coordinating their
comprehensive land use and school facilities planning programs.
The ILA established a Working Group consisting of staff of the School Board and the local
governments whose purpose is to facilitate the planning of educational facilities on behalf of the
governing bodies of the parties to the ILA. The working group meets at least once a year and
will make recommendations to the Oversight Committee.
The Oversight Committee consists of representatives from the School Board and the governing
bodies of the Local Governments that monitor the implementation of the ILA. The Oversight
Committee is comprised of three delegates of the School Board and two delegates from each of
the governing bodies of the Local Governments. The Oversight Committee reviews the Annual
Report of the Working Group and make policy and technical recommendations to their
respective governing bodies regarding the implementation of the ILA. Mayor Alfin and Council
Member Klufas are the Palm Coast representatives for the Oversight Committee.
The Oversight Committee held a meeting on June 9, 2022 and received recommendations from
the Working Group. In preparation for the July 8th Oversight Committee, Council will need to
provide direction and consensus to the City’s Oversight Committee representatives. City Staff
will provide a presentation summarizing the recommended changes to the current ILA and
Flagler County proposal for the newly drafted ILA.

Subject ORDINANCE 2022-XX TOWN CENTER TRACTS 16 & 17 FUTURE LAND USE
MAP AMENDMENT- APPLICATION #5080
Presenter: Jordan Myers, Environmental Planner, CFM
Background:
THIS IS A LEGISLATIVE ITEM.
UPDATE FROM THE JUNE 21, 2022 BUSINESS MEETING.
This item was heard by City Council at their June 21, 2022 Business Meeting. There were no
changes suggested to the item.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE JUNE 21, 2022 BUSINESS MEETING.
An application was submitted to amend the Town Center Tracts 16 and 17 Future Land Use
Map (FLUM) – Application #5080. This property is part of the Town Center Development of
Regional Impact and as such has existing entitlements. This amendment is not changing any of
the entitlements, only the physical area which is designated Conservation. A recent wetland
delineation to ground-truth existing site conditions, the application is requesting to change 29.42
+/- acres from Conservation to DRI Urban-Core.
No impacts are anticipated with the proposed FLUM Amendment. As stated above, a wetland
delineation was conducted by Carter Environmental Services on February 8, 2022 and found
that the on-site wetlands differed from the Conservation FLUM. Per Policy 6.1.9.9 in the
Comprehensive Plan, Conservation FLUM “will require field verification to determine wetland
quality and boundaries with precision.” As the existing Conservation FLUM delineation was
done via aerial interpretation, this new data more accurately shows the existing on-site wetlands
per the mentioned policy.
Public notification: A sign was posed on the property at least 14 days prior to the Planning and
Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB) meeting held on May 18, 2022. The PLDRB
voted 5-0 to recommend approval to City Council at that meeting.
Recommended Action:
The Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB) find Application #5080
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and recommend that City Council approve
Application #5080, a FLUM amendment due to ground truthing of on-site wetlands of
29.42+/- acres from Conservation to DRI Urban-Core. The PLDRB voted 5-0 to
recommend approval to City Council.

MASTER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT-DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Presenter : Jose Papa, AICP, Senior Planner
Background :
THIS IS A QUASI-JUDICIAL ITEM. PLEASE REMEMBER TO DISCLOSE ANY EX-PARTE
COMMUNICATIONS AT THE MEETING.
UPDATE FROM THE JUNE 21, 2022 BUSINESS MEETING.
This item was heard by City Council at their June 21, 2022 Business Meeting. There were no
changes suggested to the item.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE JUNE 21, 2022 BUSINESS MEETING.
PLDRB Public Hearing
The Planning and Land Development Regulation Board held a public hearing on this item on
May 18, 2022. There were no recommended changes from the Board and there were no public
comments on the item. The PLDRB voted 5-0 to recommend approval to City Council.
Town Center Palm Coast Master Planned Development is a 1,601+/- acre Master Planned
Development. The proposed amendment seeks to clarify permitted uses in certain tracts and to
provide additional flexibility in the permitted uses within certain tracts. The amendment also
includes changes based on on-going development of Town Center MPD as a medical hub
combined with institutes of higher learning.
In summary, the Development Agreement amendment will accomplish the following:
• Clarify that Town Center development is subject to a Town Center Architectural
Review Board (ARB) review,
• Clarify that Tracts in “Town Business Areas” along with Tract 18A permit Institutional
Uses,
• Amend designation for Tracts 16 & 17 from Town Business to Town Residential,
• Permit certain personal service uses within “Urban Core” areas (dry cleaning,
medical clinics),
• Clarify that hospitals are permitted in Tracts that also permit public facilities,
• Create a definition for student housing and permitting such uses in tracts that also
permit colleges and universities,
• Reduce minimum lot sizes in Town Core Areas (to accommodate live, work, learn,
play development),
• Reduce minimum lot sizes in Town Residential Areas,
• Establish minimum living area for residential uses,
• Amend parking requirements for multi-family development on certain parcels,
• Regulate overnight parking along on-street parking,
• Clarify rules for construction fences, and
• Combine and update Exhibits.
The proposed amendment is consistent with criteria established in the Land Development Code
(LDC) based on the following:
• Consistency with the following Comprehensive Plan policies – promote opportunities to
provide housing opportunities near services; direct development in areas served by
infrastructure (no expansion of development area); provide variety of housing types and
opportunities.
• Amendment is not in conflict to public interest or creates a hazard or nuisance – the
amendment promotes opportunities for institutional uses such as hospitals, colleges &
universities to locate in Town Center, which is envisioned as a mixed use development
community to serve as an “urban center” for Palm Coast.
• No significant financial liability or hardship – amendment is in area served by
infrastructure and does not increase density/intensity within Town Center.
• The amendment furthers the vision within the MPD to create a mixed use community
with a variety of housing types along with a mix of non-residential uses, and
• The amendment will not result in additional impacts to environmental or natural
resources since the amendment does not propose to increase the developable area of
the project.
• Consistency with surrounding land uses – Town Center is a compact planning area
bordered by arterial roadways. The standards established for Town Center are based on
the vision of Town Center as a mixed use “urban center” for Palm Coast. The proposed
amendment does not stray from this vision but rather enhances the potential to complete
the vision of Town Center as an area to live, work, and play within an “urban center” in
Palm Coast.
Recommended Action :
The Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB) finds the proposed
amendment to the Town Center MPD-DA (Application #4438) consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and recommends that City Council APPROVE the proposed
amendments to the Town Center MPD-DA. The PLDRB voted 5-0 to recommend approval
to City Council.

Subject ORDINANCE 2022-XX OLD KINGS ROAD MULTI-FAMILY REZONING
APPLICATION #5059
Presenter: Jordan Myers, Planner, CFM
Background:
THIS IS A QUASI-JUDICIAL ITEM. PLEASE REMEMBER TO DISCLOSE ANY EX-PARTE
COMMUNICATIONS AT THE MEETING.
UPDATE FROM THE JUNE 21, 2022 BUSINESS MEETING.
This item was heard by City Council at their June 21, 2022 Business Meeting. There were no
changes suggested to the item.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE JUNE 21, 2022 BUSINESS MEETING.
The project is located about 0.75 mile south of Utility Drive, and about 2 miles north of the
intersection of Town Center Blvd and Old Kings Rd. The parcel is bisected by City property that
was intended for the Whiteview Parkway flyover that would connect to Old Kings Road. This
piece of City property is where the zoning of the parcel is also bisected between OFC-2 and
MFR-2. The intent of the rezoning is to eliminate the two zonings and just have one MFR-2
zoned property. There is also a separate land exchange agreement proposed to move the
Whiteview flyover from the middle of the property to the north side of the parcel.
In an analysis of the property, based on 2.05.05 of the Unified Land Development Code
(ULDC), half of the property is already zoned MFR-2, being such, this rezoning would not be in
conflict or contrary to the public interest. Also, staff has determined this application for the
proposed development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the provisions of the
ULDC. The proposed development must not impose a significant financial liability or hardship
for the City. The public infrastructure needed to support the project in place or close to the site
and any extensions of utilities, construction of neighborhood roads; stormwater systems,
etc. will be provided and constructed by the developer at the developer’s expense.
The proposed development poses no unreasonable hazard, nuisance, nor does it constitute a
threat to the general health, welfare, or safety of the City’s inhabitants as the proposed rezoning
will be compatible with the overall neighborhood as half of the property is already zoned MFR-2.
Furthermore, all improvements will be newly constructed and/or developed in compliance with
the relevant Land Development Code, Building Code and other review agency requirements.
The subject property will be required to comply with the City’s Land Development Code,
Comprehensive Plan, and the requirements of all other applicable local, state and federal
agencies throughout the development process.
The request will be consistent with all applicable portions of the LDC and the Comprehensive
Plan.
An environmental report will be required at the next stage of development. It is the applicant’s
intent to put all wetlands on the east side of the property in a conservation easement to be
preserved in perpetuity.
Impacts to the Palm Coast economy are anticipated to be positive since the project will provide
numerous construction jobs and will provide additional tax revenues to the City.
The impact on the necessary governmental services including: concurrency regulations and
impact fees paid by the developer during the Technical Site Plan and construction drawing
review process will cover wastewater, potable water, drainage, fire and police protection, solid
waste and transportation systems.
There are no changes in circumstances or conditions that would affect the area.
As previously described, the proposed zoning will be compatible with the existing multi-family
uses.
The subject property has existing MFR-2 zoning on half of the property. Which is an allowable
use in Mixed Use FLUM. The rezoning to MFR-2 would be consistent with the Mixed-Use FLUM
and compatible with the adjacent properties.
Public Participation:
The developer notified the neighboring property owners via standard USPS mail of an upcoming
neighborhood meeting that was held on April 9, 2022 at 3:00 P.M. at the Palm Coast
Community Center located at 305 Palm Coast Parkway NE. The developer erected a City
provided sign on Old Kings Road, notifying the public of the upcoming public hearing for the
Planning and Land Development Regulation Board by May 4. Newspaper ads will be run
approximately two weeks before each of the three public hearings.
At the May 18, 2022 Planning and Land Development Regulation Board meeting, the Board
voted 4-1 to recommend approval to City Council.
Recommended Action:
The Planning and Land Development Regulation Board determine the proposed rezoning
of Old Kings Road Multi-Family (Application No. 5059) is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and recommend approval to City Council to rezone 12.07 +/- acres
from the General Office (OFC-2) Zoning District to the Multi-family Residential (MFR-2)
Zoning District.

Background:
UPDATE FROM THE JUNE 21, 2022 BUSINESS MEETING.
This item was heard by City Council at their June 21, 2022 Business Meeting. There were no
changes suggested to the item.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE JUNE 21, 2022 BUSINESS MEETING.
With the increasing digital environment sweeping the nation, it became a practical necessity for
the City of Palm Coast to adopt a modern, responsive marketing logo design that could be used
across various platforms from commercial vehicles to uniforms to digital experiences. The logo
is scalable, meaning that it will maintain its clarity regardless of size, without losing any detail.
The City’s marketing logo was created entirely in-house by members of the Communications &
Marketing department in 2019 and can be seen throughout the City’s branding initiatives
including the website, marketing materials, apparel, promotional items, City vehicles, and more.
With the addition of the new marketing logo, the City’s Code of Ordinances must be updated.
The old language adopted in 2004 stated:
The City of Palm Coast Logo shall be similar to the corporate seal but in an oval shape with or
without the "Palm Coast Incorporated 1999" band.
The new proposed language states:
The City logo may be revised by the City Manager from time to time. The most updated version
of the City logo shall be kept on file with the City Clerk.
*The City seal will not be affected or changed in any way.

Subject RESOLUTION 2022-XX APPROVING THE FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY PLAN FOR
THE E-SECTION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Presenter: Mike Peel, Engineer
Background :
On June 4, 2019, City Council approved a work order with DRMP, a continuing services
provider for the City of Palm Coast, for engineering design services related to the E-Section
stormwater improvement project. These services consisted of creating a drainage plan to
perform dredging, canal, culvert, ditch improvements, and redirect drainage in a portion of the
west area of the E-Section. These improvements will increase capacity and conveyance, and
improve water quality, for both canals. Design services and plans have been completed and we
are ready for phase one of construction which will include dredging of Easthampton (7,700
linear feet) and Eisenhower Waterways (5,500 linear feet). Staff recommended financing the
proposed capital improvement project with a Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan.
On June 16, 2020, City Council authorized the approval of the City’s Finance Director to certify
and execute the proposed Capital Financing Plan and to submit to the FDEP a request for
inclusion. The approved Capital Finance Plan identified the sources of revenue in support of
repayment for the proposed SRF loan.
On June 16, 2020, City Council authorized approval to submit the loan application with the
FDEP under the SRF Loan Program, Construction Loan Agreement #SW180400. The
requested loan amount is $1,621,830.00 with an interest rate of 0% for a term of 20 years.
On March 2, 2021, City Council authorized the execution of the SRF Loan for the E-Section
Improvement Project.
One of the requirements to participate in the SRF Loan Program is to obtain City Council
approval for the E-Section Improvement Project Fiscal Sustainability Plan. This item is to
request approval of the Fiscal Sustainability Plan.

Subject RESOLUTION 2022-XX APPROVING A MASTER PRICE AGREEMENT WITH
ALPHA GENERAL SERVICES, INC. FOR PEP TANK PUMP PANEL
ASSEMBLIES
Presenter : Danny Ashburn, Utility Systems Manager
Background :
The City of Palm Coast Utility Department maintains and operates a Pretreatment Effluent
Pumping (PEP) system and is seeking a master price agreement for PEP tank pump panel
assemblies. The current contract with Alpha General Services, Inc. is set to expire.
City staff advertised and solicited bids for PEP tank pump panel assemblies in accordance with
the City’s Purchasing Policy. Alpha General Services was the only respondent to the bid. City
staff recommends entering into an agreement with the sole bidder, Alpha General Services,
Inc., at $4,608.00 per package. The notice of intent to award and project bid overview is
attached.
Since this is a price agreement, City staff will purchase PEP tank pump panel assemblies using
budgeted funds appropriated by City Council. The Fiscal Year 2022 Budget includes funding
within the Utility Fund to pay for these services. City staff estimate that the City will expend
approximately $4,000,000.00 annually under this contract. The total estimated amount for the
remainder of this fiscal year is $650,000.00.
The City revenues are currently over $7,000,000 for wastewater capacity fees due to the high
growth rate we have experienced in the current fiscal year, based on this growth rate funds are
needed to be added to the corresponding capital budget account. Projected revenues versus
expenses for FY22 are shown below.

UPDATED BACKGROUND FROM THE JUNE 14, 2022 WORKSHOP
This item was heard by City Council at their June 14, 2022 Workshop. There were no changes

ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE JUNE 14, 2022 WORKSHOP
In early 2004, property was deeded to the City of Palm Coast for a future flyover that would
connect Whiteview Parkway with Old Kings Road. Recently, Kings Business Center LLC
submitted a rezoning application to the City. Upon receipt and review of the application, staff
advised the applicant to provide the City with a land exchange agreement for 1.4 acres of land
plus an additional 100 foot easement adjacent to exchanged property.
The Agreement has been reviewed by legal and City staff, including our Director of Stormwater
& Engineering and Site Development Engineer. Staff is in agreeance with this land exchange
as the revised layout will impact less wetlands and could decrease future infrastructure costs to
the City.
