Flagler Beach City Commission held a productive meeting on September 25, 2025, addressing key community issues and upcoming events. The city manager expressed gratitude for the support received during the budget process, highlighting a busy year ahead with various planned initiatives.

Mayor Tom Gillen reported on the recent successful vote regatta, thanking city staff for their efforts. He also announced the upcoming September Centennial event, "Fall Family Day in the Park," scheduled for this Saturday, where families can enjoy activities like scarecrow making and pumpkin bowling.

In a more serious note, the mayor addressed recent accusations circulating on social media regarding city debt and corruption. He expressed his disappointment over the lack of evidence provided by the accuser and emphasized the importance of transparency in public discourse.

Commissioner Cunningham suggested utilizing the city parking lot exclusively for voters on election day to alleviate parking chaos, proposing that city employees park elsewhere to facilitate easier access for residents. He also raised concerns about city workers performing repairs on water and sewer lines in Brandon Bay, questioning whether the city would be reimbursed for these services since the utilities have not yet been officially transferred to the city.

The meeting concluded with a reminder that gala tickets for the November 8 event are still available, reinforcing the city's commitment to community engagement and celebration. As Flagler Beach moves forward, the discussions from this meeting reflect ongoing efforts to enhance local governance and community involvement.
