After serving on the Flagler Beach City Commission for 9 years I am ready to continue my public service in Flagler County by being elected to the FCBOCC District 3. My platform includes the following:
DEVELOPMENT
I support smart, controlled growth. Flagler County must protect residents from excessive development. We must ensure that we can accommodate new housing and it must be compatible with the look and feel of our community. Conversion of agricultural and commercial properties to high density residential is not good for our community. I will recommend a moratorium on zoning conversions to protect critical lands in our county. Our future land use and comprehensive plan MUST be consistent.
BEACH EROSION
As a commissioner in Flagler Beach for 9 years I am familiar with the critically eroded beach and the difficulty in implementing a plan. As a federally funded project Flagler Beach will benefit from the USACOE and FEMAs cooperative efforts in maintaining the project; however, there is an additional 12 miles of coastline that needs to be addressed. I will work to have a strong planned beach management plan that addresses every segment of coastline. This is a costly proposition. The future of Flagler County is dependent on the FCBOCC getting it right.
STORMWATER CONTROL
Water, especial storm water, is difficult to handle. Flagler County is 100 years old and many areas still remain that need a storm water program. Recently, the County developed a storm water plan that is crucial to current and future land uses. I will work to implement this plan. The Flagler County stormwater plan must be prioritized.
TAXES
I'm a fiscally conservative Republican. As an accountant, I will fight to keep taxes low and cut wasteful spending. Our tax dollars need to be allocated for projects that protect our homes and our quality of life. I believe in zero based budgeting. I will request quarterly updates on the budget with a Finance Director's report on the health of the budget. The County Strategic Plan should be funded only when the right priorities are in place.
HAMMOCK OVERLAY
The Hammock has its own unique community. With a beautiful live oak canopy to parks and beach access the natural beauty of this community needs to be protected. I will ensure the Hammock Overlay District is adhered to when making decisions that impact this area. I will work with the community to preserve and to protect the area so it remains an "old Florida" sanctuary of fauna and foliage.
PRESERVATION FROM FARM TO SHORELINE
I love our community and will work hard to protect the beautiful nature and sprawl that we love so much about Flagler County. From farmlands to the Hammock, I will support the residents and protect our quality of life. I also strongly support the work the county is doing to create a wildlife corridor, by acquiring lands for conservation.
MY COMMITMENT TO YOU
I WILL STRONGLY SUPPORT PUBLIC SAFETY
Flagler County remains one of the safest communities in the state of Florida. Many residents will never interact with a Sheriff's Deputy or Paramedic, but, knowing they are the best keeps our community focused on safety. I will continue to support our safe county initiative. Feeling safe is a human need. Safe places keep our community unified. All citizens can experience community pride when we look at the accomplishments of our public safety staff. Public safety professionals play a major role in our community by giving tirelessly of themselves. I will always back the blue.
I WILL BE A STRONG VOICE FOR THE PEOPLE I SERVE
Speaking against an idea, a project or a budget item is not always popular. I research projects, grants, and spending to look for alternate ways and best practices to deliver services and products. As a Commissioner I will be people "focused", not my personal opinion "focused". When citizens get involved they deserve to be heard. I am looking for a citizens focused Board of County Commissioners. When making decisions that will impact Flagler County, the ideas and the views of the people I represent are important to me. I will respond appropriately to communications and seek information from involved citizens.
I WILL PROTECT OUR QUALITY OF LIFE
Flagler County has changed so much over the past twenty years. We need all of the local governments, along with the state, working together to maintain green spaces, providing a balance of jobs and providing quality life experiences for all citizens. Flagler County is a vast area with several unique communities. Our community is evolving and the charm and history of Flagler County is changing. I will evaluate the changes as they come along and I will help plan for future change with quality over everything else.
I welcome the citizens of Flagler County to follow my campaign on Facebook and Instagram. My campaign email electkimcarney2024@gmail.com and my personal phone number is 386-846-5493.
PLEASE VOTE IN THE AUGUST 20th PRIMARY IN FLAGLER COUNTY!!!
