The Palm Coast City Council meets at 9 a.m. in a special session for two items: First, to review and approve City Manager Denise Bevan’s contract, which calls for a base salary of $175,000, plus $29,750 a year in contribution to the manager’s retirement, and a monthly car allowance of $500 a month. The contract calls for annual cost of living increase equal to those received by employees, plus merit pay increases. See the contract here.

“The doctor has just left me. At last I have got at something definite! For all his cunning, he had to speak out at last. Yes, I am soon, very soon, to die. The frozen rivers will break up, and with the last snow I shall, most likely, swim away … whither? God knows! To the ocean too. Well, well, since one must die, one may as well die in the spring. But isn’t it absurd to begin a diary a fortnight, perhaps, before death? What does it matter? And by how much are fourteen days less than fourteen years, fourteen centuries? Beside eternity, they say, all is nothingness—yes, but in that case eternity, too, is nothing. I see I am letting myself drop into metaphysics; that’s a bad sign—am I not rather faint-hearted, perchance? I had better begin a description of some sort. It’s damp and windy out of doors.”
–From Turgenev’s “The Diary of a Superfluous Man” (1850).
