A Big Thank You

Wetland Expert and City Administration Coordinator, Denise Bevan,

received a thank you note from the City of Fernandina Beach for her

presentation to Fernandina Beach Commissioners and the Northeast

Florida Regional Council last week. Denise shared her expert

knowledge of Florida’s wetland resources and included a City of Palm

Coast perspective in implementing wetland regulations. Another

great example of the City’s experienced staff, sharing their knowledge

and expertise with surrounding municipalities and organizations.

Thank you Denise!

The Center for the Visually Impaired Provides a “Tour”

The Mayor, Council Member Shipley, the City Manager, the Parks and Recreation Director, and the

Several CVI participants spoke of their experiences and valuable training they received from CVI. For

the past 25 years, CVI has been assisting those with visual impairments in Flagler, Putnam, Volusia, and

Brevard counties. CVI’s goal is to enhance the lives and opportunities of their clients through job

training and employment, independent living, technology training and children’s services as well as a

multitude of community services. CVI strives to assist those in our community and depends on people in

our community to volunteer or donate. For more information, CVI can be reached at 800-227-1284 or

PLANNING

Development Order-Vista Par Condo at Grand Haven Vista Par Condo, formally known as River Club Condos, approval consists of 2 buildings with a total of 24 units (12

each); located along River Front Drive in Grand Haven, East of Waterside Parkway and East of Colbert Lane.

Gopher Tortoises Relocated From Holland Park

On February 21, 2015 in compliance with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Permit conditions, City consultants

conducted the investigation of Holland Park occupying gopher tortoise burrows. The activities included the excavation of

9 burrows with the goal of relocating individuals and other occupying species out of the construction site. The consultants

captured one male individual which was relocated to C. Herman Beville Ranch in Sumter County, a permitted recipient

site. Based on other findings, staff and assisting consultants suspected that one individual tortoise may have been away

from the site during the February activities. In the event the individual was encountered during construction, a response

protocol was established to ensure that all work ceased and authorized staff would safely capture the tortoise until

relocation. Last week, a female gopher tortoise was captured and safely relocated to the above-referenced recipient site.

As temperatures increase, construction staff remain alert to the potential of additional occurrences taking place; protocols

remain active.

Warmer days are coming and so are the mosquitos. Mosquitos are not only pests to humans but to our pets as well. Mosquitos can be deadly to both dogs and cats. Keeping your pets on heartworm prevention (yes-there is even a product for cats!) can protect them from developing heartworm disease that is ultimately fatal. Heartworm disease can be treated at a significant cost but will do damage to your pets internal organs prior to treatment. Heartworm prevention can be purchased through your veterinarian with a current heartworm test. Preventions come as a topical or as an oral pill that has to be administered monthly. Donation Opportunities: The Flagler Humane Society is collecting shoes again. We welcome all shoes regardless of size, type, or condition. Cleaning out your closet – don’t throw away all those old shoes – donate so that FHS can achieve your projected goal. We were very successful in reaching our set goal last year and we would like to exceed it this year! Additional drop off locations can be found on the Flagler Humane Society website. “Doghouse Donation Boxes” are found at all the fire stations in Flagler County. You can drop off donations anytime at your nearest fire station. FHS appreciates all donations, especially those from our Wish List (available at flaglerhumanesociety.org/wish-list). You can also purchase items via the Amazon.com link on the FHS website and ship them directly to the shelter. Outreach Adoption Events: Come and join us at the Spring Festival hosted by the Flagler Beach United Methodist Church is on March 28th from 10 am – 2 pm. We will have adoptable animal’s onsite along with FHS merchandise for sale. Save the date for Turtle Fest in Flagler Beach on April 4th from 10 am – 4 pm. We will be set up (where the Farmer’s Market usually is) with adoptable furry friends! Save the date for the next Jacksonville Mega Adoption Event! Mark your calendar for April 17th – 19th. We hope to see you there. Don’t forget that FHS have volunteers and adoptable pets at the Farmer’s Market in Flagler Beach every Friday and at PetSmart in Palm Coast every Saturday and Sunday. Come and see Howard and his crew to adopt your next furry family member! We are in need of more outreach volunteers so that we can attend more events and get more animals seen. If you are interested, please contact Katie DiPippo or Gary Langley at (386) 445-1814. Adoption Specials: Check out the FHS Facebook and look for the Pet of the Week! This adoptable pet will have a reduced adoption fee for the week. Don’t miss out on adopting your next furry friend. Upcoming Fundraisers/Events: Check the FHS website for upcoming events. Public Announcements: The Flagler Humane Society has a variety of subsidized spay and neuter programs for members of the community that need to have their pets or community pets sterilized. Please call FHS at 386-445-1814, email [email protected] or [email protected] for questions. FHS also offers a “Pet Food Pantry” for those that are in need of assistance. Please call and speak to Christina Miller for the application process and qualifications.

Animals ready for homes

BOYZE Boyze is a gentle older dog that

came to us from another shelter. He is approximately 7 years old and is

very laid back. He is already neutered and up to date on all his

vaccinations. He also has a microchip. He is selective of his

canine companions. He would enjoy a retirement home with mainly adults

or teenagers. He enjoys the occasional toy – prefers the harder toys because the stuffed ones don’t last that long. He walks well on a

leash. He needs someone who understands the chow breed and their limitations. Come and meet Boyze

today!

Fire Department

To: Jim Landon, City Manager From M. C. Beadle, Chief Date: March 12, 2015 Re: Week in Review

In the past week, the department responded to 148 calls. There was one structure fire with minimal damages reported. A total of 92 EMS calls was logged and the balance was miscellaneous in nature. The drought index is at 245 out of a possible 800 and the fire danger is moderate.

Page 19: Memorandum - Palm Coast, Floridadocs.palmcoastgov.com/departments/citymanager/weekin... · 2015. 3. 23. · Palm Coast The Palm Coast Business Assistance Center Managed by the SBDC

Employee Academy #1 was completed at Fire Station #25 with lunch, a tour of the facility and what it’s like to be a firefighter. Graduation was completed in the day room of the station with City Manager Jim Landon handing out the diplomas. A surprise visit took place at station #25 when the owners of Rosenbauer America, Harold and Helen Boer stopped in. The fire apparatus manufacturers association met in St. Augustine this week. We met the Boer’s in South Dakota in January and invited them down. What a surprise when they arrived. More of a surprise was when Harold was climbing on the top of the new truck offering his knowledge on a potential issue we had with the truck. After about twenty minutes, a resolution was in hand and the “boss” is getting it fixed. That’s customer service at its best. Yearly physicals are underway in the station. Lifescan of Jacksonville will be on site for the next two weeks running firefighters through their paces. Both career and volunteer members are being examined including the Chiefs.

Bright House Networks utilizes a new digital video delivery technology known as Switched Digital Video (SDV). SDV is a robust bandwidth management system that makes it possible to offer more digital video programming services than before including new HD channels. To be able to offer more new video services, Bright House Networks wil l be moving some existing programming services to the new SDV system as well as adding new services on the SDV system.

This service will not be available on uni-directional retail devices as of the date(s) noted above. I f you want to subscribe to this service, you wil l need a digital set-top box or tuning adaptor from Bright House Networks. Customers may continue to use their uni-directional retail device and CableCARD to receive video programming other than the programming delivered on the SDV system. Customers who also utilize a digital set-top box or tuning adaptor will be able to receive video programming delivered on the SDV system. Customers wil l be notified in advance of any other programming changes.

From time to time our agreements with cable channels and television stations come up for renewal. While we do not anticipate any loss or disruption of service, regulations require us to notity you of the possibility of losing programming. Therefore, please be advised that our agreements with Youtoo and Zap2it remain in effect on a month-to-raonth basis, but we may have to cease can-iage in all formats i f our authority to continue is withheld. Also, our agreement with Reelz expires on April 30, 2015 and we may have to cease carriage in all formats i f our authority to continue is withheld.
