In local government, Brittany Kershaw, the Flagler County Sheriff’s public relations director, is unrivaled in her field. She brings an unusual level of transparency and candor to a job better known for obfuscation or hype, at an agency that before her tenure–which paralleled Sheriff Rick Staly’s–feared information more than shared it.
Kershaw tendered her resignation on Wednesday. “I have received an attractive job offer from a local organization and after careful consideration, I have decided to accept the position,” she wrote Sheriff Rick Staly.
Kershaw starts as Palm Coast’s director of “Public Information and Engagement,” as her new position has been named, on May 17.

Both Flagler County and Palm Coast governments are again raising serious questions continuing their contracts with Waste Pro after the garbage hauler had another bad week. A county commissioner and a city council member each autonomously raised the possibility of ending the relationship with Waste Pro, which has three years left on its current contracts. Flagler piggy-backs on Palm Coast’s contract, last renewed in 2017.
Waste Pro has been struggling on and off for the past couple of years and was summoned before each government to give accounts about recurring customer dissatisfaction, mostly centered on missed pick-ups. Palm Coast fines the company every time certain benchmarks are missed. Those monthly fines have spiked several times in the past two years.
