The Palm Coast City Council is considering piggybacking onto a contract with another city, New Smyrna Beach, to speed up the timeline in its search for a new city manager.

Piggybacking on the contract would save two months on the search by bypassing the request-for-proposals bid process, said Renina Fuller, Director of Human Resources.

The problem with piggybacking, council member Theresa Carli Pontieri said in the April 9 meeting, is that Palm Coast will not be able to set its own search parameters of what makes an ideal candidate.
