Public Participation Opportunities

The public interviews will take place at Palm Coast City Hall, located at 160 Lake Avenue. For residents unable to attend in person, the interviews will be live-streamed on the City of Palm Coast YouTube channel. Exact times will be announced as the date approaches.

Following the interviews, the city will host a Community Meet & Greet in the Jon Netts Community Wing later that evening. This informal event will allow residents to meet both candidates, ask questions, and share their opinions. Light refreshments will be served.

Full Day of Engagement

Both candidates will spend the entire day engaging with city leadership and the community. Their schedules include one-on-one interviews with City Council members, a meeting with the Executive Leadership Team, and a guided tour of Palm Coast.

City officials emphasized that community input is a valued part of the decision-making process for selecting the next City Manager.

All residents are encouraged to participate in either or both events. More information is available on the city’s website at www.palmcoast.gov/city-manager-finalists.

The City Manager position oversees the daily operations of the city, implements policies set by the City Council, and manages the city’s budget and staff. Palm Coast has been searching for a permanent City Manager following previous leadership transitions.
