Request to County
During the special afternoon meeting of the City Council held on April 29,
1993, a number of council members asked questions about when and how the County
Commission had authorized its staff to develop specifications for the water and sewer
franchise agreement and to negotiate the agreement with the Okeechobee Beach Water
Association, Inc. At least one councilman questioned whether there had been any news
coverage about the franchising process and the Commission's decision to delegate the
task of negotiating the agreement with OBWA and its staff and its attorney. After the
special meeting I mentioned the Council's interest in this issue to City Attorney John Cook
and Mike Morel!, the City's Special Counsel.
Enclosed for your information is a copy of a public records request which
was filed with the County today in an effort to obtain all public records about the County
Commission's decision to authorize the development and negotiation of the franchise
agreement.
