PLANNING

Staff attended the Volusia Transportation Planning Organization monthly board meeting. Agenda items

of interest to the City included a brief update from the Executive Director regarding the reapportionment

process to incorporate new areas of Flagler County including Palm Coast. The Director also updated the

Board on the proposed updates to the TPO By-laws including changes suggested by the City. The By-

laws subcommittee will meet on June 3rd

to further refine the By-laws with comments received from the

Board members.

Staff attended a Pre-application meeting for the South Old Kings Road Development of Regional Impact

(DRI) project. The proposed project is located on approximately 794 acres approximately 1/2 mile south

of SR 100 along Old Kings Road. The applicant is proposing a development that will consist of 2,404

dwelling units and approximately 1.7 million sq. ft. of non-residential uses. The pre-application meeting

was coordinated by the Northeast Florida Regional Council (NEFRC) and attended by various state (St.

Johns River Water Management District, Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Fish and

Wildlife Commission, the Department of Environmental Opportunity) and local agencies (Flagler

County, the Cities of Bunnell and Flagler Beach), and other interested parties including the Audubon

Society. Under State Statute, the pre-application meeting is the first step in what will be a process that

will involve public hearings and other opportunities for public input once a formal application is

submitted by the applicant.

Green Team:

Staff visited Indian Trails Middle School to express appreciation for students and teachers that

volunteered during the May 18th Arbor Day Celebration. Students and teachers provided a wealth of

support that included 5K Root Run & 1-Mile Flutter Foam Run assistance and QR Code project

management and execution.

Staff received notification from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection that the 2012 Long

Creek Nature Preserve (aka Long’s Landing Estuary) Stewardship Report was found acceptable. Please

see attached letter.

It always touches our hearts when someone calls or comes in to report that they’ve

lost their beloved dog or cat. Sometimes this is a result of being irresponsible and

making it easy for the pet to escape. But, more often, it’s a matter of a little

mistake that leads to the dog or cat getting out and running away. Reuniting a pet

with its owner is one of the happiest times in the Shelter and we know we could do

it much more often if people would just get their pets microchipped.

Microchipping involves inserting a tiny chip under the pet’s skin, usually between

the shoulder blades. It is painless (although some pets do briefly object). The chip

contains a unique number that can be tracked right back to you, the owner. We are

always so happy to find a microchip when we get a stray into the Shelter. But, in

at least half of the cases we find that the owner has not kept up with the registration

on the microchip and our search leads us to a dead end.

Both the lack of a microchip and the outdated registration can so easily be

overcome. On the first Saturday of each month, the Flagler Humane Society offers

very low cost vaccinations and microchips. No appointment is necessary and we

can help you make sure that your pet’s vaccinations are current. We also offer

microchips for $25 and that might be the best investment you ever make to protect

your pet.

But, that’s not the end of your job. Once the microchip is inserted, you need to

contact the company that issues the chip and register with them. They will want to

know your name and address, your pet’s name, who they should contact if they

cannot locate you, and other such information. If you move or any of the

information you’ve provided changes, you need to make sure that the microchip

company has that updated information.

To be doubly sure, we have found another company that will register your animal

for free. Information about that company will be given to you when you have your

pet microchipped at one of our monthly clinics.

Don’t let your pet end up at a shelter or with Animal Control with no way to get it

back to you. We love reunions and we know that you and your pet do, too!

Special Announcements

June 1st: Vaccine and Microchip Clinic at the Shelter. No appointment

necessary; just show up between 1 and 3. Dogs must be on leashes and

June 8th: Our first annual Poker Run. We start at the Black Cloud Saloon

Flagler Humane Society!!!

Palm Coast City Manager Jim Landon receives statewide Career Excellence Award Palm Coast, Fla. – Palm Coast City Manager Jim Landon has received the Florida City and County Management Association’s Career Excellence Award, an award given annually to a member of the association whose overall career exemplifies a commitment to excellence. Landon was nominated by Mayor Jon Netts, the City Council and staff based upon his commitment to fostering representative democracy; for his innovation in creating a Leadership Intern Training Experience (LITE) bringing management and employees together to work creatively on projects not normally undertaken as routine employee functions; and for his creative, progressive insight. “Jim is clearly bringing his management team and employees together in an out-of-the box way to solve problems and improve the city,” said FCCMA President Joyce Shanahan, who presented the award to Landon at the association’s annual conference in Orlando on May 24. Mayor Netts said Landon’s philosophy of creating interdepartmental teams to work on specific City initiatives such as economic development, parks and trails, and special events has enhanced quality of life in Palm Coast. “Not only have employees grasped a better understanding of government and community issues, but they’ve also developed thoughtful, productive options and solutions,” Netts said. “The partnerships have encouraged employee buy-in of Palm Coast’s goals and objectives and enhanced morale and confidence.” “Jim Landon is a progressive City Manager with a creative vision, and I congratulate him for this well-deserved honor,” the mayor said.

Landon became City Manager of Palm Coast in January 2007. Before coming to Palm Coast, Landon served as city manager of Lancaster, Texas, for nearly five years and previously held city manager positions in Missouri and Oregon. He began his career as a land use planner for Clark County (Las Vegas), Nevada, then held planning positions in Colorado and Oklahoma. With that strong background in planning, Landon now specializes in development, infrastructure and planning – all important issues for fast-growing Palm Coast. A native of Arizona, he grew up in Klamath Falls, Oregon. He received his undergraduate degree in geography from Oregon State University and earned a Master of Public

Owners, operators of new small businesses warned of scam Palm Coast, Fla. – Small business owners are being warned that a Florida company is attempting to deceive unsuspecting small business owners that have just filed a new corporation or LLC in Florida and receive money by pretending to be the Secretary of State of Florida. The SmallBiZ website, which provides information resources to small businesses, recently issued a scam alert. SmallBiZ warns that “Florida Center of Corporations” is sending letters to newly formed Florida INCs and LLCs indicating, “You have one step left to receive your Florida Certificate of Status.” The small business is instructed to complete its filing by filling out a stub and mailing back “to the corporation’s center with your payment of $54.47 to complete your articles of organization certificate.” “Florida Center of Corporations” is not affiliated with the Secretary of State of Florida. The only service the company is providing is to obtain a Certificate of Status (or good standing) from the Secretary of State of Florida. The state only charges either $8.75 (for an INC) or $5 (for an LLC) for this. For more information, visit http://www.smallbiz.com/florida/scam-alert-florida-center-of-corporations/ or contact the Palm Coast Business Tax office at 386-986-3766.

The Trek It Out – The QR Code Project video also took top honors in the 2013 People’s Telly Awards in the Outdoor/Environmental category. The Telly Awards are given for the finest film and video productions, groundbreaking web commercials, videos and films, and outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs. This is the first time the City of Palm Coast has won a People‟s Telly, which is judged by the

online community as a hosted video via the Telly Council‟s YouTube channel. Videos can win Silver (Excellence) or Bronze (Distinction) awards based on the number of votes they receive. Palm Coast‟s video won a Silver award. “We are honored and excited to receive this prestigious recognition from the IAVA and Silver Telly Council, and we share these honors with our colleagues in the City and with our citizens,” Hanson said. “When we start out to do a video, we do not have awards in mind,” he said. “Our job is to use the power of video to convey what our City is about…its people, families, activities, accomplishments and workings. Therefore, the quality of our videos is reflected in the quality of the people, their individual dedication, and the stories they are creating to make Palm Coast a great place to live, or to visit, or as our tagline goes, to „Find Your Florida‟.” Videos produced by Palm Coast‟s TV199 can be viewed on the city‟s YouTube channel at http://youtube.palmcoastgov.com and on the channel‟s Video on Demand Service available via the city channel website at www.pcma-tv199.org.
