Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Paid parking talks continue as Flagler Beach ranks vendors (news-journalonline.com) — Flagler Beach officials are moving forward with evaluating a paid parking program, ranking four vendors and beginning talks with top-ranked LAZ Parking while promising residents will be exempt from fees. Commissioners still need more data and public input before deciding on hours, rates, and whether to send the plan to a referendum, as locals and business owners voice concerns about how paid parking could affect the city's small-town feel and visitor traffic.
• Personnel Board Member Calls City Commissioner's Accusation of Bias an Insult and 'Slap in the Face' of Volunteers (flaglerlive.com) — Flagler Beach residents should know that tensions have flared between City Commissioner John Cunningham and the volunteer Personnel Review Board, after Cunningham publicly called the board biased during discussion of an employee grievance process. Board member Kevin Sullivan and Commissioner Scott Spradley strongly defended the volunteers' integrity, as the city prepares to hear a rare employee grievance on September 23, highlighting ongoing friction over City Manager Dale Martin's leadership.
• County Joins Mounting Challenges Against Bunnell Board's Approval of 610-Acre Garbage Dump (flaglerlive.com) — Flagler County commissioners are moving to legally challenge Bunnell's approval of a 610-acre garbage dump off State Road 100, a fight that already includes appeals filed by a Flagler Beach couple. County officials say Bunnell's secrecy and the planning board's fast-track approval may force a broader intergovernmental dispute, similar to the earlier clash with Flagler Beach over the Veranda Bay plan.
