As the year winds to a close, Mayor Nancy Sikes-Kline presents St. Augustine residents with the final Mayor's Monthly Minute of 2025, capping off another year of governance and city happenings. In a recent social media post, she highlights the ongoing Nights of Lights event and touches upon important community notices.
The holiday season tradition continues with Nights of Lights radiantly beaming through St. Augustine's historic streets. For those seeking to bask in the festive glow without the inundation of weekend crowds, the Mayor suggests a weeknight visit. Ensuring affordability for locals, St. Johns County residents are offered a special parking rate of just $3 at the city garage. Visitors are encouraged to download the Nights of Lights St. Augustine mobile app, which provides essential information including parking and shuttle details, bathroom locations, and live camera feeds.
In a turn away from the holiday merriment, Mayor Sikes-Kline also issued a warning against fraudulent activities in the city. Scam letters demanding money for permits or other fees have been reported, and the Mayor's message was clear, "The City will never ask you to send money this way," as mentioned on the City of St. Augustine - Government post. Residents and business owners who encounter such suspicious correspondences are urged to bring them to the attention of the St. Augustine Police Department, remaining vigilant against these deceptive attempts to exploit the community.
