THe Flagler County Sheriff’s Office displayed its just-acquired antique police car, for about $12,500, at Saturday’s centennial celebration. It is a 1938 Buick Special, 8 cylinders, 107 horsepower, with a three-speed manual transmission. It will reportedly go from zero to 70 in 26.2 seconds, according to the Sheriff’s Office’s Bob Weber, and tops off at 82 mph. It gets 13 miles a gallon. The original cost in 1938 was $1,047, which, in inflation-adjusted dollars, would be $17,976 today. ‘The Sheriff’s 5 Point Star is outlined with horseshoes pointing in on the doors and truck. This represents good luck and protection for the deputies. The star decal was used until the 1970’s,’ Weber notes. The paint job was donated by Celico Auto Body and Restoration of Bunnell, and and Police Services, also of Bunnell, donated the installation of the siren and light. ‘I was told on Saturday by a historic car buff that the car in its present condition could be worth as much as $45,000 – $50,000.’ The department bought the car with asset-forfeiture money, a fund Sheriff Rick Staly says has been recently depleted because of changes in law that make it more difficult to seize assets, and more expensive to go through the process of trying to do so. But county commissioners today are expected to approve using $4,620 from that fund so the sheriff can buy a voice-stress analyzer.(© FlaglerLive)

“… in what must rank as the most astonishing statement of corporate hubris ever, mine operator George Baer used these immortal words to address the issue of a 1902 coal strike: The rights and interests of the laboring man will be protected and cared for — not by labor agitators, but by the Christian men to whom God in his infinite wisdom has given the control of the property interests of this country.'”

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.

It is Teacher Appreciation Week in Flagler County schools and elsewhere.

The Flagler County Commission holds a pair of meetings, starting with a 9 a.m. business meeting, where commissioners are expected to ratify a burn ban, approve recent agreements to shift millions of dollars toward beach restoration projects from tourist-tax revenue, approve a $4,620 expenditure by the sheriff for a voice-stress analyzer (a form of lie-detection testing), and possibly appoint George Hanns, the recently defeated county commissioner, to the Library Board of Trustees. Hanns, who served a quarter century on the commission, had previously been the commission’s liaison to the library board. The meeting is to be held in board chambers at the Government Services Building, Bunnell. It will be followed by a workshop at the Emergency Operations Center, behind the GSB, immediately following the regular meeting, with a discussion and update on Hurricane Matthew dunes and beach recovery, and a discussion about buying land on Justice Lane, the road that leads to the county jail. Background materials posted online do not include details about that land purchase.

The Flagler Youth Orchestra‘s full ensembles–five orchestras in all, from beginners to advanced, some 350 musicians in all–perform their third and last concert of the season at the Flagler Auditorium at 7 p.m., including a performance by the faculty quartet. Tickets are $6 for adults 18 and older, $1 for children 17 and under. $1 of every ticket goes to the Auditorium’s Arts In Education fund.

Announcements:

None.

In Florida and in State Government:

Note: Some proceedings below can be followed live on the Florida Channel. Most legislative proceedings can be followed through the Senate or House websites.

Tax cuts: The Senate Appropriations Committee will take up several issues, including the House’s proposed tax-cut package (HB 7109). The package, sponsored by House Ways & Means Chairman Jim Boyd, R-Bradenton, includes trimming a tax on commercial leases and holding sales-tax holidays. (8 a.m.)

The Senate will hold a floor session and consider a series of issues, including a proposal (SB 1582), filed by Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, that would make changes in the workers’ compensation insurance system. Lawmakers are grappling with the workers’ compensation issue after regulators last year approved a 14.5 percent rate increase. (10 a.m.)

Education rally: U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., and American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten will attend a rally urging President Donald Trump’s administration to invest in education. (10:30 a.m., Miami Dade College, North Campus, 11380 N.W. 27th Ave., Miami.)

Prescription-drug crisis: The Florida Department of Children and Families, the Florida Department of Health and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will hold the first in a series of workshops about opioid use in the state. (3 p.m.)
