Topics include the Annual Investment Report and updates on the Holland Park Splash Pad and Belle Terre Park.
The Palm Coast City Council meets regularly to discuss and vote on official City business. These meetings are open to the public and Palm Coast residents are strongly encouraged to attend. An increase in public engagement helps to build a stronger sense of community, increases valuable discussions, and decreases division.

This will be the beginning of on-going training(s) for City Council to meet their state requirement.
