🏛️ Significant Changes Take Effect for City of Palm Bay Today
Palm Bay transitions to new .gov domain and welcomes City Manager Matthew Mortin on May 1st. 📅
Palm Bay, FL - Today, May 1st, 2025, marks a day of significant change for the City of Palm Bay. Two key developments are taking effect, impacting the city's online presence and its top administrative leadership. These changes aim to enhance security, transparency, and leadership for the community.
City Website Transitions to PalmBayFL.gov Domain 🔒
The City of Palm Bay's official online home is transitioning to a new domain: PalmBayFL.gov. This move from the previous PalmBayFlorida.org is effective as of May 2025, emphasizing a more secure and credible online presence. The use of a .gov domain is restricted to verified government agencies, increasing trust and reducing risks like phishing.
Residents visiting the old .org address will be automatically redirected to the new .gov site. All official city email addresses will also now use the @PalmBayFL.gov format, with old addresses forwarding messages during this transition period. This domain change streamlines digital communication and enhances security for interactions with city staff and services.
Matthew Mortin Begins Role as City Manager 👋
Today also marks the first official day for Palm Bay's new City Manager, Matthew Mortin. Appointed by the City Council following a selection process that concluded in late March, Mortin begins his 30-month term leading the city's administration. His term is set to run through November 1, 2027.
Mortin brings over 25 years of experience in both public and private sectors to Palm Bay. He previously served as the City Manager of Palm Coast, Florida. The City Council voted 4-1 to appoint him, expressing confidence in his ability to guide Palm Bay forward.
