The project is located at the intersection of US-1 and Seminole Woods Boulevard. A previous rezoning was approved on September 21, 2021 to change from Master Planned Development (MPD) to the existing COM-3 and MFR-2 zoning districts. The developer notified the neighboring property owners via standard USPS mail of an upcoming neighborhood meeting that was held on June 8, 2022 at 6:00 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn, 55 Town Center Boulevard. The developer erected City provided signs, by June 1st as required, on US 1 and Seminole Woods Boulevard.

Open play, league tournaments, lessons and summer camps have remained popular there ever since. The facility has become a popular amenity among residents who play tennis. By the end of fiscal year 2019, total attendance to the tennis center reached 14,293. This past fiscal year, that number grew to 17,000. According to the United States Tennis Association, tennis participation surged among Americans during the pandemic last year. The sport saw an unprecedented 22 percent increase in overall participation compared to the previous year because it’s a great social distancing activity. The Palm Coast Tennis Center has hosted numerous professional tennis tournaments, Junior USTA tournaments, Special Olympics programming, the Palm Coast & Flagler Beaches Senior Games, and other local league play. The proposed enhancements and upgrades to the tennis center primes the facility to become a regional amenity, positioned to attract more regional junior and adult events along with expanded play opportunities for families and adaptive tennis. This fosters economic growth as players and their families visit the area, stay in local hotels, eat at local restaurants, gas up their cars, and shop at local stores. The Palm Coast Tennis Center has hosted numerous professional tennis tournaments, Junior USTA tournaments, Special Olympics programming, the Palm Coast & Flagler Beaches Senior Games, and other local league play. The proposed enhancements and upgrades to the tennis center primes the facility to become a regional amenity, positioned to attract more regional junior and adult events along with expanded play opportunities for families and adaptive tennis. This fosters economic growth as players and their families visit the area, stay in local hotels, eat at local restaurants, gas up their cars, and shop at local stores. Palm Coast’s estimated population is expected to grow an additional 50,000 people over the next 15 years – nearing 150,000 by 2035. In order for the City of Palm Coast to continue to provide first-class recreational facilities for the residents, recommendations were recently proposed to transform the facility into a modern regional racquet center that serves current and future needs. Additionally, pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S. and the same is true locally. Residents flock daily to set up portable nets so they can play on shared courts, however, there are no dedicated permanent pickleball courts in the City. More than 150 residents travel an hour to play pickleball in Holly Hill. In 2019, the City had entered into an Agreement with a construction management firm (BBI) to construct Phase 2 Improvements at Holland Park and to construct 6 pickleball courts at Ralph Carter Park. Upon further discussion, City Council directed staff to not proceed with construction of the pickleball courts at Ralph Carter Park and to analyze the feasibility of adding these courts to the existing tennis center. This would allow ability to add more pickleball courts in the future and utilize a clubhouse for similar needs including restrooms, lockers, showers, staffing, maintenance, program/events, and food/beverage options. As a result of the demand for facilities to play these sports, memberships at the tennis center are also on the rise. City Council set a goal in FY21/FY22 to seek partnerships with local talent and complementing businesses, while seeking grants to foster growth at the tennis center to expand on the community’s rich sports history. The current tennis center improvements were only the initial phase of the ultimate development of this site that includes additional courts and replacement of the temporary modular clubhouse with a permanent facility. The master facility concept plan had not been updated since 2004. City staff completed a number of steps to begin the research and update of the master plan for the City owned property. First, staff established an advisory committee of both City employees and local players in the community, to generate a regional racquet center facility plan. Second, staff held a series of public meetings with tennis and pickleball players for design input. And third, surveyed players at those meetings to garner additional feedback. The advisory committee was charged with identifying and creating types of programming, site master planning, preliminary design, and scheduled phases. Staff, also visited several tennis and pickleball facilities and conducted an analysis on needs and priorities based on today’s court utilization and current and future programming. A consultant with experience with recreational facilities was hired to review the data collected and to compile a project program and update of the Master Plan. On March 9, 2021, staff presented to City Council the updated master plan with a proposed phasing plan that could be implemented utilizing various available funding sources and potential grants. This included a phasing plan that could be implemented with Phase One consisting of a permanent clubhouse and a minimum of six dedicated pickleball courts, or as many as 12 courts if the City receives grant funding. On May 4, 2021, City Council approved an Agreement with for Ohlson Lavoie Corporation to provide Architectural & Engineering Design Services as well as Agreements with Gilbane Building Company, to provide construction management services. This includes pre- construction services and to set fees for construction phase services at 4.75% of the total cost of the project. In June of 2022, staff submitted a grant to the TDC to fund an additional 6 pickleball courts. The City was the only application and will be reviewed by the TDC board on July 20, 2022 and if approved will go to the County Commission for approval on August 15, 2022. On June 28, 2022, staff presented an update to City Council giving an overview of the Lehigh Trailhead and this Recreation Facility and how it will serve as a part of the Southern Recreation Area. Gilbane obtained bids and has established pricing for the Base Bid work, additional pickleball courts, pickleball covering with or without solar and value engineering items. Staff will present Council with this information for review and direction so that a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) can be established. Recommended Action : ADOPT RESOLUTION 2022-XX APPROVING A CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH GILBANE BUILDING COMPANY TO ESTABLISH THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FOR THE SOUTHERN RECREATION FACILITY (FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE REGIONAL RAQUET CENTER), INCLUDING A CONTINGENCY, AND RELATED EXPENSES TO THE PROJECT City of Palm Coast, Florida Agenda Item Agenda Date: July 19, 2022 Department PUBLIC WORKS Amount $62,979.93/$6,204 Division FLEET Account 65010071-064000/10015011- # 064000 Subject RESOLUTION 2022-XX APPROVING FLEET PURCHASES OF A CTX160 MINI SKID STEER FROM VERMEER SOUTHEAST, A FORD F-250 FROM DUVAL FORD, AND A LANDSCAPE TRAILER FROM CAR SHOP TRAILER SALES Presenter : Matthew Mancill, Director of Public Works Background : THIS ITEM IS FOR STANDARD OPERATIONS. In the FY22 Fleet replacement process, City staff ordered a CTX160 Mini Skid Steer from Vermeer Southeast using the Source well contract for 2022. This unit is to be a replacement for Asset 1588 in our Streets Division. Vermeer Southeast was unable to source a unit until June 2022. By that time, increases associated with manufacturing caused a rise in the price of 7.9% from $40,418 as quoted in September 2021 to $51,081, which is the current unit contract price. This request is to increase the amount of Purchase Order 20220065 from the original amount of $40,418 to the current price of $51,081. The City expects a return of $3,000 from the auction when we dispose of the replaced equipment. The Streets Division further requests approval to purchase one (1) landscape trailer using budgeted funds. There was $5,000.00 budgeted for FY22, but due to increases, the current price is $6,204.00. This is a difference of $1,204.00 to purchase the trailer. In the upcoming FY 2023 Fleet Replacement, the City anticipates ordering a Ford F-250 with a utility body to replace Asset # 1671 for the Utility Department. Traditionally staff places all of our fleet orders on September 30th for the upcoming fiscal year. Given the current manufacturing state for super duty vehicles, the City expects twelve (12) to sixteen (16) months to pass before the replacement vehicle arrives. The City vendor has identified an F-250, which is available for purchase immediately, if we can produce a PO for the purchase price of $52,316.93. The available vehicle is the same as the one scheduled to order, equal in price, and by pulling the purchase forward to this month, the City would be able to deliver the Asset to the Department immediately, thus saving them time and potential breakdowns on the old Asset.

PROJECT City of Palm Coast, Florida Agenda Item Agenda Date: July 19, 2022 Department PARKS AND RECREATION Amount Division Account # Subject RESOLUTION 2022-XX APPROVING AN INCREASE IN THE PURCHASE ORDER WITH ELAVON FOR CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES FOR TRANSACTIONS AT THE PALM HARBOR GOLF COURSE Presenter : James Hirst, Director of Parks & Recreation BACKGROUND: THIS ITEM IS FOR STANDARD OPERATIONS. As stated in the original background (shown below), the City is still experiencing high credit card use and are still predicting the continued use of credit cards over other forms of payment. The City has identified the need to increase the Elavon Purchase Order from the original amount of $42,000 to $55,000 for the ability to pay the credit card fees that will accumulate throughout the rest of the fiscal year. ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM APRIL 6, 2021 COUNCIL BUSINESS MEETING: The City of Palm Coast/Palm Harbor Golf Course has a current contract with Golf Now. Golf Now manages tee sheets and point of sale transactions for items at the golf course. Golf Now uses Third Party Vendor (Sole Source) Elavon to process credit card transactions. The City currently has an agreement with Elavon for their services and pays them directly. Due to COVID, our credit card processing fees have been abnormally higher from the increase of payments being made with credit cards, as customers feel safer paying with minimal social contact. We expect the majority of future payments to be paid with credit cards. The Palm Harbor Golf Course is an important part of City Council’s goal to ensure a high quality of life. Maintaining this service is vital to residents having access to the Palm Harbor Golf Course. In support of City Council’s goal to remain committed to fiscal responsibility, the City has identified the need to increase the purchase order for credit card processing fees to continue delivering value-added services to residents. The original Purchase Order with Elavon was $27,000. Staff anticipates the Purchase Order increase will not exceed $38,000 for this fiscal year only. This request does not extend the term of the contract with Elavon, it is only to increase the Purchase Order for this fiscal year. Recommended Action : ADOPT RESOLUTION 2022-XX APPROVING AN INCREASE IN THE PURCHASE ORDER WITH ELAVON FOR CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES FOR TRANSACTIONS AT THE PALM HARBOR GOLF COURSE City of Palm Coast, Florida Agenda Item Agenda Date : July 19, 2022 Department FINANCIAL SERVICES Amount Division Account # Subject REPORTING OF EMERGENCY AND SOLE SOURCE PURCHASES FOR JUNE 2022 Presenter : Denise Bevan, City Manager Background : Attached is a list of all emergency and sole source purchases for the month of June 2022, in accordance with Sec 2.25 of Chapter 2, Article 1 Division 3 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Palm Coast (Procurement Policy).
