Employee Appreciation Week As part of Employee Appreciation Week, City employees were treated to several events in their honor, hosted by the BAM! Team (Boost All Morale). Employees kicked off the week with breakfast served by the City Manager, Directors and BAM Team members, followed by Employee Recognition Luncheon, where employees were recognized for their 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 years of service (employee Danny Spencer, honored for the most years of service, 40-years, at this year’s luncheon). And the week rounded out with children of employees touring the City departments to learn about City functions.
Arbor Day Trees, butterflies, farm animals, reptiles and our lovely, healthy life here in Palm Coast took
center stage last weekend at Arbor Day 2017. We gave out 400 three-gallon hardwood trees
– in exchange for non-perishable food donations. Master Certified Arborist Danny Lippi gave
the new owners of these trees advice on how and where to plant them for greatest success.
Thousands of people enjoyed the day at Central Park helping Mayor Milissa Holland kick off
her Mayor’s Healthy Community Challenge, releasing butterflies, enjoying nature-themed
exhibits and activities, and being entertained by Patty Shukla with her high-energy action
songs. It was a bit windy, but otherwise the weather was perfect. A great day to celebrate
Arbor Day and all the ways Palm Coast is “Rooted in Nature!”

PLANNING Arbor Day 5K Root Run/Walk A 5K Root Run kicked off the Arbor Day festivities, which were held on May 6th. The race commenced at 8:00 am with over 75 participants, who competed in the run/walk. After the race, awards were distributed to winners of the Arbor Day run and the Palm Coast Running Series.
Following the Palm Coast Running Series awards, the City kicked off the Palm Coast Mayor’s Healthy Community Challenge. Mayor Melissa Holland officially issued her challenge and proceeded to lead a group of participants, who signed up with a walk around the lake at Central Park.
With the commencement of the 12th Annual Arbor Day Celebration, 4,500 residents and visitors enjoyed the fabulous weather. Several participants donated non-perishable food items to the local food bank in exchange for a tree. 400 native trees received new Palm Coast homes. Returning this year was U-Shred IT Document shredding, which was a huge hit, with 8,722 trees saved through our shredded paper recycling efforts. The new and improved Kidz Zone area provided families with multiple activities free to the public, such as local vendor booths, food and entertainment, painting birdhouses, touring through the butterfly tent and taking part in the native butterfly release, Long-Leaf Pine and Hay Bale
Maze, Painting Wooden Snakes, a Life size Eagle’s nest, Game Time Game Truck Petting Zoo, Palm Coast Rocks and so much more. Rounding out the day was a performance by television star Patty Shukla, who was joined by her band and the Daytona Tortugas team Mascot. Kids and Parents alike enjoyed her educational action songs and participated in the energetic activities performed to music.

The key to keeping your pet healthy is a proper blend of exercise and diet. Pets should be on a good quality feed that is appropriate for the pet’s size and age. They should be fed the recommended dose and then adjust the amount depending on the activity level of the pet. No pet should be fed food meant for human consumption unless directed by the pet’s veterinarian. Exercise should also be at the direction of your pet’s veterinarian because you don’t want to overwork your pet and cause more harm than good. A daily walk for a dog is very beneficial for both the dog and the owner. This is a time that you can bond with your dog and spend some quality time with them. Fresh air and great food are the best medicine! Donation Opportunities: The Flagler Humane Society Thrift Store always accepts donations. They cannot take in any computers/printers or large appliances. Call 386-597-2839 and leave a message. “General Donations” can be dropped off anytime at your convenience. 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. We are collecting shoes again! Your used shoes (any condition accepted) can be dropped off at FHS. Outreach Adoption Events: Don’t forget that FHS have volunteers and adoptable pets at Petco in Palm Coast on Fridays & Sundays and at PetSmart in Palm Coast on Thursdays & Saturdays. Interested in becoming a volunteer? Stop by and attend a volunteer orientation. Volunteer orientations are held at noon in the Humane Society education room every second Saturday of the month. Interested in helping at Outreach Adoption Events? Join our SPOT Outreach Team! For more information, contact Katie at [email protected] in fostering? Contact our volunteer coordinator at [email protected] Specials: See the FHS Website for upcoming specials. Upcoming Fundraisers/Events: See the FHS Website for upcoming events. Public Announcements: The Flagler Humane Society has a variety of Subsidized Spay & 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] for questions. FHS has a Wellness Clinic for minor veterinary issues. Call 386-445-1814 for Appointments. Low Cost Vaccination Clinics are held on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of every month from 1pm-3pm. No appointments are necessary for the Low Cost Vaccination Clinics. FHS also offers a “Pet Food Pantry” for those that are in need of assistance. Please call for more information.

SPARTACUS
Spartacus is an active 2 year old greyhound mix. He is already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccinations. He is great with other dogs and loves to play. He would benefit from a fenced yard but it is not mandatory. He is a long legged handsome boy that is in need of a loving home. He was brought to the shelter as a stray and then adopted but then picked up again as a stray.
Pet of the Week
Fire Department
To: Jim Landon, City Manager From: M. C. Beadle, Chief Date: May 12, 2017 Re: Week in Review
In the past week, the department responded to a total of 181 calls. There was 1 structure related fire call. A total of 117 EMS calls were logged and the balance was miscellaneous in nature. The drought index is at 427 out of a possible 800 and the fire danger is high. The department has been responding to calls for smoke in the area. Many of which are related to cooking in backyards. There is drift smoke from a 350 acre wildfire in Putnam County. Drift smoke from this as well as some ash fall may be seen and noted in the area during the next few days. The West Mims fire on the border of Florida and Georgia may also cause drift smoke in the area. Jacksonville has had significant concerns from this fire. Announcement of the current Burn Ban is in effect. This ban includes open burning-including the use of fire pits and containers, above ground fire pits, below ground fire pits, charcoal-burning barbeque grills, use and discharge of fireworks, throwing matches or cigarettes (or other burning materials) from car windows and parking vehicles with catalytic converters in high grassy areas.. Propane grills are permitted. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/eSnOYUU6YCo. The quarterly Volunteer Pension Board Meeting was held this week at City Hall. A presentation was made to City Council on the After Action Report for Hurricane Matthew with 21 recommendations. All of which were made into a performance measure and assigned to a team or a department. There was hands-on training for all stations on water supply from a portable 4000-gallon tank utilizing float-a-pumps (portable fire pumps that float). These pumps are placed in lakes and ponds as alternative water supply in emergency situations where hydrants are not present. This training was conducted by Lt. Holmes and Firefighter Greco.

City of Palm Coast Wastewater Plant staff earns 2017 FWEA Safety Award
Palm Coast – The management and operational staff of the City of Palm Coast’s Wastewater Treatment Plant 1 have been recognized for outstanding effort that resulted in zero lost-time accidents during 2016. The employees’ efforts earned the first-place 2017 Florida Water Environment Association Safety Award for Class B facilities. The award was presented during the Florida Water Resources Conference held in West Palm Beach in late April. Facilities from across the state compete annually for the awards that recognize excellent safety programs. Wastewater Treatment Plant 1 on Utility Drive was built in the early 1970s and has been gradually expanded over the years. The City is building a second Wastewater Treatment Plant off U.S. 1 in northwestern Palm Coast that will open early 2018. That new plant will add capacity and allow for anticipated growth in residential and commercial development. “Safety is our No. 1 priority, and we are proud of our excellent safety record, which ultimately benefits our overall operation to give the best service possible to the citizens of Palm Coast,” said Danny Ashburn, Palm Coast Utility Systems Manager. “I commend the plant’s employees for their efforts and dedication and congratulate them on earning the FWEA’s Safety Award.” The Wastewater Plant has earned Safety Awards from both FWEA and the Florida Water & Pollution Control Operators Association in the past.
