This is an application to amend the zoning map designation for 67.69 +/- acres of real property
to reconfigure the existing High Intensity Commercial (COM-3) and Multifamily Residential
(MFR-2) zoning districts on the property. The project is located at the intersection of US-1 and

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. This was to notify the public of the upcoming public
hearing for the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board. In addition, newspaper ads
are placed in accordance with State Statutes for each public hearing.

ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE JULY 12, 2022 WORKSHOP
In November 2007, the existing tennis center opened for public play, with 10 lighted HydroGrid
clay courts. 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.

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.

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.

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
