1. Proclamation
Background:
National Water Safety Month’s history of highlighting water awareness and swim safety
started in June 2003, when the World Waterpark Association (WWA) launched its National
Water Safety Week. People celebrated this water awareness week for four years.
In May 2007, the National Recreation and Park Association, (NRPA) which had been
celebrating National Aquatics Week in July from 2004 to 2006, decided, along with the
WWA, that a month-long water safety initiative in May would be best because it is when
swim activity increases across the country. That is when National Water Safety Month was
officially born.
In May 2009, the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (now the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance)
joined the partnership, adding waterparks, public pools, and backyard pools to the monthly
water safety initiative. Finally, in May 2010, the American Red Cross joined the National
Water Safety Month coalition as a key partner.
The City of Palm Coast Parks & Recreation Department strives to promote water safety in all
aquatics, environments, and activities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), eleven people die from unintentional drowning every day. Drowning is the
third leading cause of unintentional death for all ages and the second leading cause of death
for children ages 1 to 14 years. Our aquatics staff provides lifesaving swim lessons to all
ages, from children to adults, as well as courses for the more advanced swimmer. You are
never too old to learn how to swim!

EXPERIENCE (LITE) TEAM
Presenter: Lauren Johnston, Acting City Manager
Attachments: None
Background:
The LITE (Leadership Intern Training Experience) Team is a specialized program within the
City of Palm Coast, initiated in 2012 under the direction of the City Manager. It was
established to address the City’s growing need for executive leadership and to cultivate
additional talent within the organization. The primary objective of the LITE Team Program is
to expose staff members to the unique opportunity to collaborate directly with the City
Manager and the Executive Team to foster professional growth and development among
employees.
The program is designed for team members interested in enhancing their leadership
capabilities and embracing new challenges. Team members apply to participate, and the
program operates over 12 months. Throughout this period, they engage in a variety of
activities aimed at increasing their leadership skills and expanding their knowledge base.
Special projects are assigned to the team, which serve as learning opportunities and
avenues for the practical application of leadership principles. This year, the focus of the
team's project was improving internal communication within city departments and
collaborating with the Comprehensive Plan team to gather insights from students in Flagler
Schools to better understand community needs and perspectives.
The LITE Team serves as a platform for cultivating leadership talent, fostering collaboration,
and addressing critical issues within the City of Palm Coast, contributing to the City’s
continued growth and development.
This year’s participants were:

Background:
This is a quasi-judicial item, please disclose any ex parte communication.
The applicant Hillpointe, LLC has submitted a Technical Site Plan application for a multi-
family rental community with 264 homes. Town Center Tract 8 is 67.81 +/- acres and located
at 746 Town Center Boulevard. The project will be a key component of Town Center as it
has about one-half mile of frontage along the east side of Town Center Boulevard and
extends from Central Avenue to about one-fifth mile north of Imagine School.
The proposed apartment community has ten 3-story buildings with 24 or 36 units each plus a
large clubhouse and amenity center. Since the project is over 100 residential units it is
classified as a Tier 3 Technical Site Plan that requires review and recommendation by the
Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB) followed by review and
determination by City Council.
Hillpointe, LLC purchased the land on December 8, 2023. The developable area of the
67.81 +/- acres is located adjacent to the east side of Town Center Boulevard and existing
stormwater ponds encompass the central area of the site. A large conservation area extends
from the stormwater ponds to the north, east and south boundaries of the property. The
stormwater ponds and conservation areas will provide some scenic views for residents to
29
enjoy. The onsite conservation areas along with other conservation areas extending about
1/3 mile east to I-95 will also minimize much, if not most of the noise from I-95 traffic for
residents.
This developer recently completed, and residents are now moving into the 300-unit Pointe
Grand apartment complex along Pine Lakes Parkway North that is located about ¾ mile
north of Palm Coast Parkway NW. Pointe Grand was reviewed by the PLDRB and approved
by City Council in the first half of 2021.
The subject site is designated “DRI – Urban Core” and “Conservation” on the Future Land
Use Map and as Town Center PUD on the Zoning Map. The Town Center PUD Land Use
Map shows the subject property to be Tract 8 of this PUD and designated as “Urban Center”
on the Town Center Master Development Plan Map and was intended to be developed for
higher intensity uses in a pedestrian friendly environment.
Public Participation: This residential project does not meet the criteria for the applicant
having a neighborhood meeting. Additionally, Technical Site Plans, including Tiers 2 and 3,
do not require newspaper notification or the posting of the orange signs along the project’s
frontage.
Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB): The PLDRB reviewed this
application at its regularly scheduled meeting at 5:30 PM on April 17, 2024, and by a 6 - 0
vote found it in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, the Town Center PUD, and Land
Development Code and recommended approval to City Council. No one from the public
spoke regarding this petition.
Recommended Action:
THE PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION BOARD FOUND THIS
PROJECT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE TOWN CENTER
PUD, AND LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO CITY
COUNCIL OF THE TECHNICAL SITE PLAN TIER 3 FOR TOWN CENTER TRACT 8,

Background:
This is a legislative item.
In accordance with Section 162.05(5), Fla. Stat., the local governing body attorney shall be
counsel to an enforcement board or shall represent the municipality or county by presenting
cases before the enforcement board, but in no case shall the local governing body attorney
serve in both capacities. The City Attorney was representing the Code Board and issues
began to arise in 2015 for staff. Staff required legal assistance. Therefore, in 2015, the City
Administration determined since staff works with the City Attorney, it was best to hire an
attorney to represent the code board. Since 2015, the City has hired a 3rd party attorney to
represent the Code Enforcement Board.
For the past several years, the City enjoyed the services of Fishback Dominic to provide the
code board services. In January 2024, under the City’s current purchasing policies, City staff
advertised for code board attorney services (RFP-CD-24-18). Fishback Dominic did not
entertain the bid. However, there were two bids received which were deemed responsive
and responsible. The Notice of Intent to Award is attached to this item. Funds for these
services have been appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2024 budget and will be expended on an
as-needed basis.

City Staff is recommending piggybacking the Omnia-University of Nebraska Contract Pro-
Service 001299 RFP 3702-22-4618 Master Agreement with Cintas Corporation No. 2 for the
purchase of various uniforms, cleaning supplies, first aid and safety, fire protection, and
parts as needed for City workforce and services.
Piggybacking existing competitively bid contracts is advantageous since the pricing is
generally better than what the City could obtain on its own, and the City does not incur the
expense and delay of soliciting a bid.

1. Ensure that the Maintenance & Operations Complex is a top-priority facility
project and commence with initial improvements based on Capital Improvement
Plan Timeline.
On May 19, 2020, Council approved a contract with Pond & Company for the design of The
Maintenance Operation Center (MOC).
The recent Federal Court Decision has vacated the Florida State 404 permitting program.
This causes some uncertainty on 404 projects moving forward in terms of whether it will go
back to the US Army Core of Engineers (USACE) or if Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) will keep implementing it. Pond currently has an application into FDEP
for verification of no permit required for Maintenance Operation Center Phase 1 and will be
submitting for Peavy Grade. FDEP has halted processing currently while future litigation is
anticipated. Pond will make a new submittal into USACE, as directed by Staff to expedite
the permitting process, and keep this item moving forward.
Under the existing contract (RFSQ-CD-20-20) staff negotiated a scope and fee not to
exceed $30,275 for additional this task.
At the request of Staff, Pond has provided a scope and fee for the turn-key design of the
Telecom and Security System and the complete design of the lightning protection system.
Under the existing contract (RFSQ-CD-20-20) staff negotiated a scope and fee not to
exceed $38,700 for this additional task.

Additional work is required by DRMP for the delivery of legal descriptions and accompanying
sketches of proposed conservation easement release areas for the Maintenance Operations
Center, Phase 1.
Under the existing contract (RFSQ-CD-20-20) staff negotiated a scope and fee not to
exceed $5,615.00 for this additional task.
This item is to approve an increase in contract value (RFSQ-CD-20-20) with Pond &
Company for a total amount of $74,590. Funding for this project is budgeted in the Capital
Improvement Plan.

Staff is requesting approval to have a Citywide Master Services Agreement available to all
departments that purchase submersible pumps, electrical motors, submersible mixers,
electrical control panels and components, and all parts needed for repairs. Including the
HydraLink Scada services used by the Water Treatment Plant. This all-encompassing
contract will allow departments access to purchase necessary components, as well as
expert equipment repairs, field service help with Scada equipment and troubleshooting, and
more. A fixed (across the board) discount off current Manufacturer’s List price of 10% is
included in the contract. This equipment is vital to the multiple Utility Departments and will
allow ease of purchasing all from one supplier. Hydra Service has been a great vendor for
the city for many years and their experience and expertise will be a great asset for the City
staff to lean on when needed.
In accordance with the City’s purchasing policy, City staff solicited bids on Bonfire. Staff
received one bid determined to be responsive and responsible. The Project Bid Overview
and Notice of Intent to Award are attached. Staff recommends City Council approve a
