FLAGLER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONSENT / AGENDA ITEM # 7a SUBJECT: Ratification of Flagler County Emergency Proclamations Extending the State of Local Emergency Due to Severe Coastal Erosion and Vulnerability. DATE OF MEETING: November 17, 2025 OVERVIEW/SUMMARY: Flagler County has been under a declared state of local emergency due to Hurricane Matthew since October 4, 2016. During that time, other storms have struck the County exacerbating the damage to the dune system and compounding the exposure of public and private property on the barrier island to future storms and flooding. The County also declared local states of emergency for Hurricane Irma (2017), Hurricane Dorian (2019), Hurricane Isaias (2020), and Hurricanes Ian and Nicole (2022). Due to the cumulative effect of the storms as well as tidal events, nor’easters, and erosion, Flagler County continues to be in the most precarious position relative to ocean flooding and storms in its history. Although the County has completed a series of emergency protective berm projects since Hurricane Matthew, public and private property on the barrier island remain vulnerable to catastrophic storm damage without further and sustained protective efforts. As part of addressing the emergency, the Board adopted a long-term beach management plan assisted by an independent coastal engineer, the County’s engineering staff and with input from residents and local HOAs. Continuing the state of local emergency will help the County with its ongoing and future efforts and allow the County to take any necessary emergency measures, including expedited emergency procurement and the issuance of emergency administrative orders, as necessary. FUNDING INFORMATION: Funding in accordance with grant agreements with the Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA, FDOT and DEP DEPARTMENT CONTACT: Jonathan Lord, Emergency Management Director (386) 313-4240 RECOMMENDATION: Request the Board ratify the Proclamations Extending the State of Local Emergency for Hurricanes Matthew, Ian and Nicole.

FLAGLER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS GENERAL BUSINESS / AGENDA ITEM # 7c 10/30/2025 Approved by Financial Services Director E. John Brower BE SUBJECT: Consideration to Amend the Health Insurance Fund (Fund 1501) FY 25 Surplus Budget Related to the Employer Contribution for Health Insurance. DATE OF MEETING: November 17, 2025 OVERVIEW/SUMMARY: As part of the annual budget process, based on discussions with our Plan Administrator and in connection with our Actuarial Report, the Board approved the employer contribution for FY 26 to be raised to $17,172 per Full Time Equivalent (FTE). For FY 25, this amount was $15,777, and this budgeted amount is transferred to the Health Insurance Fund (Fund 1501) at a monthly rate of $1,310.99 attached to each employee. When there are vacancies in departments, no funding is transferred through payroll, which requires us to manually transfer and amend the budget at year end to capture the funding that should have been moved into the Health Insurance Fund. To ensure that our Health Insurance Fund solidifies its financial stability and to ensure our self- insured status is not threatened, staff are proposing that all annual appropriations for the employer contributions related to Health Insurance are in fact transferred. For Fiscal Year 2024-25 this will amount to $1,194,198 with $876,509 coming from the General Fund. STRATEGIC PLAN: Focus Area: Effective Government • Goal 1- Maintain Financial Stability o Objective EG 1.1: Ensure a minimum of 5% operating reserves beginning each fiscal year for unforeseen expenses or natural disasters. (Reserved for contingencies.)  Measure 1.1.1: Prioritize support and flexibility within budget to successfully navigate unforeseen expenses within a given fiscal year. FUNDING INFO: No additional funding is required for this agenda item, as $15,777 was budgeted for each FTE. The budget transfer is being presented to you for approval because the overall value exceeds the County Administrator’s signature authority per the Board’s Budget Management Policy. The Road and Bridge, E-911, Tourist Development, SHIP, Growth Management, Building, Public Safety Communications Network, Airport, and Residential Solid Waste Funds transfers can be approved by the County Administrator. Funding will be appropriated with approval of the Unanticipated Revenue Resolution. DEPARTMENT CONTACT: E.

In addition, a URR was created to recognize the $3,500,000 from City of Bunnell. The Transportation Impact Fee Funds were to be recognized “as needed” for project funding. Upon completion of the project, it was determined that $34,042 would be needed to cover costs that were incurred for FY25. These costs are within the approved budget, and address costs that were not grant related or tied to City of Bunnell’s 3.5 million.

FLAGLER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONSENT / AGENDA ITEM # 7h SUBJECT: Renewal of Current Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN) for Advent Health System/Sunbelt, Inc. d/b/a Advent Health Orlando. DATE OF MEETING: November 3, 2025 OVERVIEW/SUMMARY: As part of Florida Statutes Chapter 401 and Administrative Rule 64-J- 2.032, the Board of County Commissioners must issue a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN) for every agency that provides pre-hospital emergency medical service. Advent Health System/Sunbelt, Inc. will provide emergency and non-emergency transport services to Advent Health Palm Coast in order to facilitate inter-facility transports between medical facilities under the authorizations provided in the COPCN approved by this Board. Advent Health System/Sunbelt, Inc. is seeking renewal of the current COPCN from a period of December 1, 2025 to November 30, 2027. The request was received by the Flagler County Emergency Medical Services Advisory Board and was reviewed for approval at their September meeting. Staff finds the interfacility transport service provided by Advent Health System/Sunbelt, Inc. to be an essential part of the overall pre-hospital care in Flagler County. Flagler County Fire Rescue (FCFR) had been serving the residents of Flagler County since the late 1970’s with pre-hospital emergency medical care and transport. During that time, FCFR had been providing interfacility transfer services to Advent Health as part of an informal agreement. Where transfers used to be close, many of today’s transfers are up to 90 miles from Flagler County and can take up to 5 hours to perform. These types of transports removed an emergency response unit out of service for long periods of time. Calls for pre-hospital emergency medical care and transport within Flagler County, along with calls for transfer service from Advent Health, had increased to a point that required the County refocus on its core service of providing pre-hospital emergency medical care and transport. The COPCN for Advent Health System/Sunbelt, Inc. to provide inter-facility transports between medical facilities helps to keep FCFR emergency units in the County and reduce mileage placed on the units. STRATEGIC PLAN: • Focus Area: Public Health and Safety o Goal 3 – Improve Public Safety Response and Service Delivery  Objectives PHS 3.4: Ensure adequate training, available resources, and current technology to effectively respond to, mitigate, and recover from any local, state, or national event. FUNDING INFORMATION: N/A DEPARTMENT CONTACT: Chief Michael Tucker, Fire Rescue (386) 313-4255 RECOMMENDATIONS: Request the Board approve renewal of the current Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN) for Advent Health System/Sunbelt, Inc. from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2027.

FLAGLER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC HEARING / AGENDA ITEM 9b Amendment to the Floodplain Management Ordinance (SB 180) Page 1 of 2 SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE – Request for Amendment to the Floodplain Management Ordinance to Comply with the Requirements of Senate Bill 180 by Deleting the Five-Year Cumulative Substantial Improvement Period. DATE OF MEETING: November 17, 2025 OVERVIEW/SUMMARY: This request is legislative in nature and does not require disclosure of ex parte communication. One of the changes that Senate Bill 180 required is the removal of cumulative substantial improvement periods from local floodplain management ordinances. Section 2 of Senate Bill 180 (officially the Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 180, adopted as Chapter 2025-190, Laws of Florida) accomplishes three things related to the cumulative substantial improvement period: 1. This Section adopts a definition of cumulative substantial improvement period: “Cumulative substantial improvement period” means the period during which an aggregate of improvements or repairs are considered for purposes of determining substantial improvement as defined in s. 161.54(12). 2. Local government is defined as having the same meaning as it has elsewhere in Statutes: “Local government” has the same meaning as in s. 163.2514. 3. This Section prohibited local governments participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) from adopting a cumulative substantial improvement period: A local government that is participating in the National Flood Insurance Program may not adopt or enforce an ordinance for substantial improvements or repairs to a structure which includes a cumulative substantial improvement period. As part of the County’s adoption of the State’s Model Floodplain Management Ordinance in 2018, the County opted to include a five-year cumulative substantial improvement period within its Ordinance. While other provisions of the Model Ordinance were non-negotiable (unless the County wished to work directly with FEMA in the development and review of its own Ordinance), the adoption of a local cumulative substantial improvement period was left to each local government to adopt specific to its needs. Adoption of a five-year cumulative period meant that permits were tracked over a rolling five-year period to determine if the cumulative value of permits exceeded 50% of the market value of the structure prior to any damage caused by a disaster. It is important to recognize that structures subject to the substantial improvement calculation – the “50% Rule” – are those which are non-conforming to the floodplain regulations, typically limited to those structures that have been mapped into a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Often these are structures that do not meet the minimum finished floor elevation (FFE) for its respective base flood elevation (BFE), or where a structure is within Zone V requiring pile construction and where the structure’s foundation is at-grade or otherwise non-compliant. There has been talk that inclusion of this prohibition of local government adoption of a cumulative substantial improvement period has attracted the attention of FEMA, with rumors afoot that the State of Florida has run afoul of FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program requirements by prohibiting local governments from adopting a cumulative substantial improvement period. With FEMA’s future in question and Senate Bill 180 effective as of June 26, 2025, the County has no choice but to adopt this amendment – for now – to comply with Florida Statutes. Like other provisions of Senate Bill 180, this Section may yet change in the next Legislative session or through a determination by the courts, and the Legislature may yet return the ability to adopt a cumulative substantial improvement period to each local government.

FLAGLER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC HEARING / AGENDA ITEM 9c Certified Recovery Residences Ordinance (SB 954) Page 1 of 2 SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE – Request for Adoption of an Ordinance Related to Certified Recovery Residences as Required by Senate Bill 954. DATE OF MEETING: November 17, 2025 OVERVIEW/SUMMARY: This request is legislative in nature and does not require disclosure of ex parte communication. Senate Bill 954 required the adoption of an Ordinance by January 1, 2026 by local governments including procedures for the review and approval of certified recovery residences within each jurisdiction, and the adoption of specific requirements related to requests for reasonable accommodations regarding certified recovery residences. Specifically, the text requires that: The ordinance must include a process for requesting reasonable accommodations from any local land use regulation that serves to prohibit the establishment of a certified recovery residence. Section 1 of Senate Bill 954 (officially the Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 954, adopted as Chapter 2025-182, Laws of Florida) goes on to describe a specific process for requesting an accommodation, together with setting timeframes for submittals and reviews. Section 1 also provides, specific to condominiums and covenants, that: The application of this section does not supersede any current or future declaration or declaration of condominium adopted pursuant to chapter 718; any cooperative document adopted pursuant to chapter 719; or any declaration or declaration of covenant adopted pursuant to chapter 720. Not unlike community residential homes before them, the Legislature has stipulated that all local governments must provide for the establishment of certified recovery residences within each respective jurisdiction. The draft ordinance amends two specific sections of Article III, Zoning District Regulations, of the Flagler County Land Development Code (Appendix C to the Flagler County Code of Ordinances): adding a new Section 3.06.18, Certified recovery residences, in Section 3.06.00, Special provisions other; and Section 3.07.06, Procedure for review and approval of certified recovery residences, in Section 3.07.00, Administration and enforcement. The first section provides generally for the establishment of certified recovery residences in unincorporated Flagler County (restricting them to multifamily zoning districts), while the second section provides the specific application process (consistent with Senate Bill 954) including the accommodation process. Public notice has been provided for this application according to Sec. 125.66. This agenda item is: _____ quasi-judicial, requiring disclosure of ex-parte communication; or __X__ legislative, not requiring formal disclosure of ex-parte communication. OPTIONS FOR THE BOARD: The Board of County Commissioners may: APPROVE the Ordinance adopting standards related to certified recovery residences on first reading.
