In Flagler and Palm Coast:

Note: all government meetings noticed below are free and open to the public unless otherwise indicated. Many can be heard or seen live through each agency’s website.

The Sheriff’s daily incident reports and jail bookings are posted here.

All Flagler County schools re-open today, after a week’;s closure due to Hurricane Irma. Alls chools and after-school activities are on normal schedule, including resumption of Flagler Youth Orchestra classes at Indian Trails Middle School.

In Court: Erin Vickers, 23, the Palm Coast woman facing 49 charges related to sex crimes against children, goes on trial, with jury selection expected to take up the first day and the trial expected to take up much of the week. She is going on trial on the first of the 49 charges—the alleged tape of her own daughter, who was 1 year old when the alleged assault took place on Feb. 26, 2015. Vickers since that winter has been held without bond at the Flagler County jail. Her case is intricately tied to that of Paul Dykes, 20, who also faces eight charges of raping a child about the same age as Vickers’s—he has a child of his own, but his parental rights were terminated by court order in March 2016—among the 41 charges that have been filed against him. He is not expected to go on trial until later this year or early next year. It’s not clear how Hurricane Irma, which closed court activities for several days, may impact the scheduling of the trial, which is expected to take a week, starting with a day for jury selection. It takes place before Circuit Judge Dennis Craig.

The Emergency Medical Services Advisory Board‘s meeting, originally scheduled for Sept. 11, is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at the Emergency Operations Center, 1769 E. Moody Blvd., Building 3, Bunnell.

Alzheimer’s Resource Council of Flagler County Support Group meets at Flagler County Senior Services, 1000 Belle Terre Blvd, Palm Coast. This is a monthly group that meets for individuals who know of someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia, have the disease, are caregiving for someone, has lost someone, or just wants to attend a very supportive support group to meet great people. It’s free.

A meeting of the Flagler County Commission scheduled for 5 p.m. was cancelled.

The Bunnell City Commission meets at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 201 West Moody Boulevard, Bunnell. The commission will consider approving an agreement with Flagler County government to close Bunnell’s fire department and transfer fire services’ responsibility to Flagler County, whose fire department would then turn the Bunnell fire station into a county station, with a rescue unit. It is still not certain how the commission will vote, though it was leaning toward agreement on the transfer. The commission may also extend the sale of alcohol to 2 a.m. Sundays.

The Palm Coast Senior Games are on all week click here for details.

Palm Coast Construction and Development Progress Reports

Updates of ongoing permitting, construction and development projects in Palm Coast usually run here, along with a link to the city’s Week in Review. But the Week in Review, under the guise of being modernized, has become flashier and power-point like while becoming less substantive and dumbed down. We may or may not link to it in future.
