Proclamation Background: Public Works is responsible for the ongoing maintenance of roads and rights-of-way, including paving, mowing, landscaping, litter, signage, and signals. They are also charged with maintaining city-owned facilities and the acquisition and maintenance of all city vehicles and equipment. National Public Works Week celebrates the superheroes that lie within each public works professional. This year’s theme is "Advancing Quality of Life for All." Public works professionals advance quality of life for all by focusing on infrastructure, facilities, and services that are of vital importance to sustainable and resilient communities, and to the public health, high quality of life, and well-being of the people of the City of Palm Coast.

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!

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.

Technical Site Plan Application 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, APPLICATION NO. 5598. 30 City of Palm Coast, Florida Agenda Item Agenda Date: May 21, 2024 Department COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Amount AS NEEDED PER APPROVED BUDGET Division CODE ENFORCEMENT Account # 10013508-034000 Subject: RESOLUTION 2024-XX APPROVING A MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH GRAYROBINSON FOR CODE BOARD ATTORNEY SERVICES Presenter: Barbara Grossman, Code Enforcement Manager Attachments: 1.

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. 104 SOURCE OF FUNDS Code Enforcement Division 10013508-034000 Other Contractual $573,200.00 Total Expended/Encumbered to Date $487,108.12 Pending $5,000.00 Current $7,000.00 Balance $74,091.88 Staff recommends City Council approve a master services agreement with GrayRobinson for Code Board attorney 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.

Resolution 2. Proposal Background: Council Priority: B. Safe and Reliable Services: 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. 168 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.
