City of Palm Coast Announces Full Schedule for City Manager Finalist Interviews and Community Meet & Greet

The City of Palm Coast invites residents to take part in the City Manager finalist interview process on Thursday, November 13, 2025, and to join a special Community Meet & Greet that evening.

The two finalists for the position are:

• David Fraser, who brings more than 30 years of municipal leadership experience across several states and currently serves as Interim County Manager in Adams County, Colorado.
• Michael McGlothlin, who brings nearly 40 years of public service experience in municipal management and law enforcement and currently serves as Town Administrator for Redington Shores, Florida.

On Wednesday, November 12, both finalists will take guided tours of the City of Palm Coast, facilitated by city staff, to learn more about the community, its operations, and ongoing projects.

Thursday, November 13, will begin with one-on-one interviews between the City Council and each candidate. Following the morning sessions, the public is invited to attend individual candidate interviews with the City Council in the Council Chambers:

• 1:30 p.m. – David Fraser
• 3:15 p.m. – Michael McGlothlin

These public interviews are open to all residents and will also be live-streamed on the City of Palm Coast YouTube channel for those who prefer to watch remotely.

To conclude the process, residents are invited to a Community Meet & Greet on Thursday, November 13, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in the Jon Netts Community Wing of City Hall, 160 Lake Avenue. Join City Council Members, City staff, community stakeholders, and the general public for an informal opportunity to meet the finalists, ask questions, and share your impressions. Light refreshments will be served.

This event is designed to provide residents with a meaningful opportunity to participate in the selection of Palm Coast’s next City Manager. Community feedback is a crucial part of the decision-making process, and residents are encouraged to attend and actively participate.
