Beautification and Environmental Advisory Committee I June 25, 2026

The City of Palm Coast Beautification and Environmental Advisory Committee met on June 25, 2026, but did not have a quorum to conduct official votes. The primary discussion focused on the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual action plan, including the allocation of $481,889 in funds. A key procurement-related topic was the proposed purchase of Neighborly software, estimated at $17,000, to streamline grant management, reporting, and invoicing processes with HUD. The software would improve efficiency and accuracy in managing CDBG funds and potentially support future grant programs. The committee also discussed the limitations on CDBG fund usage, emphasizing that only 15% can be allocated to public services, and explored potential partnerships for community projects such as community centers and food pantries. Additionally, updates were provided on the city’s website dashboard for tracking incentives and demographic data, and on the housing empowerment series aimed at educating residents about housing and tax incentives. No formal votes or motions were taken due to the lack of quorum.
