The 52nd session of the Palm Coast Citizens Academy ended on Tuesday, Nov. 1, with a graduation at a City Council business meeting. The six-week session began on Sept. 26.

The graduates include: Nicholas Caruso, Patricia Caruso, Ruth Connelly, Linda Constantine, Michele Dodson, Charles Hayes, Sally Hayes, Edward Holden, Jerry O’Sullivan, Leah Parker, Daniel Rebstock Sr., Robert Rosania, Danielle Sappet, Donna Stroike, and David Walls, according to a news release from the city government.

The Citizens Academy is free, but limited to 30 participants per session. It is offered twice each year — an evening option in the spring, and an afternoon option in the fall.

Each session takes an in-depth look at city departments, including Utilities, Stormwater and Engineering, Financial Services, Parks and Recreation, Community Development, Public Works, the Fire Department and more. Participants also interact with the city manager, city directors and staff and the City Council.

“I attended Citizens Academy 10 plus years ago, and I still considered it one of the best ways to learn about your community,” Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin said. “I’d encourage every resident of Palm Coast to complete the program. .”
