City Clerk media are for the sole purpose of backup for official records of the Clerk. ATTEST: oWing R. Watford, Jr., fAWor ro-Tempore Lane Gamiotea, C C, City Clerk The OUA is seeking an endorsement from the City to proceed with their objection only and stating that the OUA service area includes all of Okeechobee County. Council Member O'Connor asked whether this has been presented to the County? Mr. Hayford and Mr. Conely both answered no, this was their first presentation, however, the Board of County Commissioners will be next. Mr. Conley explained the reason for the objection is that this new facility will be governed by the procedures of the PSC and there have been situations where they have circumvented local agreements (such as the one that created the OUA) to benefit their own interest. Should this utility company be allowed to treat and distribute water, residents which are considered part of the OUA service area, will likely use the nearest facility, which would be Groveland Utilities. Council Member Williams asked, when the Grove Community was forming, did OUA enter into any agreement or notify them that OUA serviced all of Okeechobee County? Mr. Conley, answered no. He then stated after contacting Evans Property he believes their intent is to preserve and use this property for a biofuel facility, as there is no longer a residential community development planned. They have realized that the business of water service would be a valuable resource and do not want to give up their huge water consumption permit they have with South Florida Water Management District. Council Member Williams moved to instruct the Administrator to write a letter from the City Council with the sufficient information to support the OUA's position with the objection of Groveland Utilities; seconded by Council Member O'Connor.

Mr. Williams is still the mapping consultant for the Property Appraiser and we continue to share the same updated information, which in turn keeps the City's costs down. Since there is no other mapping company that works for the Property Appraiser's Office conducting this type of work, I recommend that this be considered a sole -source based on maintaining operational standards and serves as the best working relationship with the Property Appraiser's office. According to the Code Book, Sec. 2_288 Depa&nent Heads may recommend the Purchase of a spec brand if tfiey feel, through experience or a nalysis, that only that brand will serve the best interest of the Cdy. Factors which might warrant sole -source purchasing could involve compatibility with existing equipment maintaining operational standards, or lesser service requirements which reduce down -time and maintenance costs. When making such recommendation, the departmenthead shall submd wnIten fusiifrcabon and recommendation to the Cdy Councr7 for approval. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. z OKEZC A3-011 . t`:�, -o PURCHASE ORDER gymUMBER %1UST BE Si4.01, 'CrN OF oKEECHOBEE ' CC �+ mtti� p�� JS-Sx l i �D A UM AND CORRESPONIZ QKEECHQS , FLQRmA 34974-2932 otoB63/763-3372 SHIP To city of okewhob e 55 SE 3-' Avenue Ta~ Cpkeie, Fi_ 34974 global Mapping INVOICE IN DUPLICATE: 1�4IS NW141st StieeL 4bk=hobee, Florida 34972 r� eGl�tobee t �.OfOke 55 SE 3`d Avenue THIS ORDER SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS ON FACE NO i (�k�je�}%$ y t CHANGES MAY BE MADE WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION + " OF PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT. a SMP VIA BEST WAY F.O_B.

After which time I will solicit any corrections and place it on the 2/16/10 Agenda. There may be some misinterpretation about the discussed setback being applicable to the side setback ... that wasn't my intention. Our current sign side setback is eight (8) feet and I'm having Bill Brisson take a look at his material from other communities. I've attached some pictures from CE Officer Sterling for your enjoyment. • CDBG application — You may recall, last year we were unsuccessful in securing a Housing rehab grant. Now the 2009 (Yes, it's still the 2009 round) is upon us and I expect Nancy Phillips to appear at the 2/16/10 meeting to help direct the City in a new grant application. The categories for a CDBG incl: u Housing Rehabilitation (unsuccessful last year) a Neighborhood Revitalization a Commercial Revitalization (City secured for Commerce Park) a Economic Development (City secured this grant for downtown) • Finally, the easement request for sidewalk installation on the north side of the 100 blk of NE 10St for American Physical Therapy to avoid tree removal looks correct and is on the Agenda for approval. • Chamber of Commerce — At the January 5th meeting, the Council briefly discussed the City's ability to allow the Chamber to sublease part of their offices. As you are probably aware, the Chamber is now in operation again ... the City was inundated with calls about Chamber activity during their absence. Chamber indicated they anticipate approaching the Council at some point in the future to discuss the matter. • City Hall restroom remodel — We've perfected the plans a bit better at the direction of the Building Official. This should satisfy our last obvious ADA compliance issue, budgeted at $24,000. In a cost savings effort we've been trying to determine what our Public Works Dept might be able to accomplish, i.e. demolition and removal. • EOC building and impact fees abatement request — the County is now requesting this again now that the facility is a go. There is not a way to estimate the eventual fee until bldg permit (BP) application is reed, but Independent Inspector (ll) has indicated they are willing to abate 50% of the fee. Page 1 • 2/2/10 Activity report cont'd Railroad Depot — Sent an email to the CSX rep on 6123109 reiterating the hardship the City would realize in meeting the prior Letter of Intent in light of insurance parameters. Animal Control Interlocal Agreement — No meeting has been rescheduled with the County (the County called this meeting now a few months ago to, I suspect, discuss increasing fees) Attomey: • Litigation/mediation on the billboard issue — There are actually 3 cases relating to the billboard case along SR 70 West. Two involving the sign company and the building permitting process and one from Mrs. (Newcomer) Tuten involving the zoning issue and inability to construct a sign. On 1112110 Atty Cook and I met in mediation w/Atty Steve Ramunni and his clients in Ft Meyers at the office of our insurance company's atty Robert Shearman, Henderson, Franklin, et. al. After a marathon mediation we concluded a settlement that will eventually be presented to the City Council for approval during a closed session that included no monetary damages but the construction of a sign in a different area that the sign company has to investigate availability. Obviously it's a bit more complicated than that and that information will be explained at the meeting, probably scheduled within the next few months. Finance: • Finance Director position - at one time or another I have probably visited with each of you about moving Accounts Supervisor, India Riedel, to a position more suitable to her job duty and more challenging to fit her disposition. I've been working on a job duty based on other communities and will share it as soon as complete. • Investments and Investment Policy - The minimal interest return the City has received over the last year has prompted us to evaluate other investment vehicles inside the utmost safety. We've done some research and currently India is investigating `Repurchase Agreements' guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Government as proposed by our pension's finance company, Salem Trust. I've reviewed the City's existing practice of investing in Qualified Public Depositories (QPDs) which offer a cpl of layers of safety above the normal $250k FDIC and wherein banks are 'ranked' predicated on their balance sheet as to what ratio of collateral is required for our investments. As I indicated, Governmental institutions are therefore unable to gain even market rate on investments due to the stringency. Again, this all plays into an inevitable Investment Policy that we will seek your approval thereon. Page 2 • L 2/2/10 Activity report cont'd Fire: • Code Enforcement — property owner Florence Williams of business location at 215 SW P St was taken to Circuit Ct 1/28/10 to contest a $250 citation issued by the City on 12/15/09 for operating a business without a BTR. • Nuisance property at 909 N Parrott (Dupper Property) — is scheduled for a `special ops' training exercise on Feb 3r° and a final demolition on Feb 5tn General Services: • Gen Services Coordinator Betty Clement had a planned surgery last Monday that will prevent her from returning for 5-6 weeks. • The Jan 21st Tech Review Comm discussed/approved three (3) developments and I've attached notes of what transpired. The Loumax devel is the industrial facility at 314 SW 7tn Av, building a new warehouse to the west of the existing warehouse. The EOC plans were submitted and approved and the Neil Long duplexes are in the 300 blk of SE 10tn Ave ... formerly the O'Town development, funded by a County grant. • Board of Adiustments on 1/21/10 approved the special exception for a drive through service in connection with a� the planned Sonic Restaurant at the Goodbread property in the 100 blk of SW 21st Street. • Business Tax Receipt — chart of historical info is attached. • Comp Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) — that we examined on 1113109, was sent to DCA for approval. We had the 1 /21 /10 scoping meeting and LaRue's office will be producing a 'findings' to be sent to DCA (and the Council). There was nothing too substantive from the meeting. • Water Supply 10-yr Plan Ord — We had the 1st Rdg on 1113109 and it's been sent to DCA for approval, prior to the City's final adoption. SFWMD copied me on their input to DCA, which included a problem with OUA's Consumptive Use Permit and that they are operating on a temporarily extended CUP. Have spoken to Gary Ritter and there's reason for optimism as he indicated SFWMD appears poised to partially relent on their position. Again, had set up a meeting for Jan 29thw/ County staff, OUA and myself at Jeff Sumner's office but will see what success John Hayford will have on a scheduled Jan 281n meeting w/ SFWMD. As for the rest of DCA's concerns, population trends and the like, we'll fix those and wait on OUA to address what they need to. Page 3 Z W10 Activity report cont'd Public Works: • DOT and CSX crossing — In connection with the Hwy441 crossing CSX has committed to repairing the NW 6th St railroad crossing and we've received word that they will be doing that starting 2/12/10 and should be approx 3 days, working over the weekend. No timeline was given for the main project on Hwy 441. • Curb around medians on SW 5th Av — Notice to proceed sent to Vest Concrete, for the 2000 If, $13,OOOt project. • Street Asphalt program bids — We have developed the plan/plat sheet for the project. The City budgeted $300k for the project and we are hopeful it will come in at $250k-$260k. • Stimulus funded sidewalk program — Rec'd confirmation that the contractor was suppose to have started the installation by now, but has been delayed... DOT indicated they will advise when a pre -construction conference is scheduled. • Side arm mower -tractor purchase — Have set a bid opening date of March 4tn - ....anticipate the 20' arm will be $80k-$90k... $120k for an alternate 24' boom. • Parks beautification — Bop at RamPark (end of SE 4t St) new picnic table area chicee is almost done.

SUMMARY OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE'S EAR SCOPING MEETING January 21, 2010 Attendees: Bill Royce, Okeechobee County Planning Department Gary Ritter, SFWMD Brian Whitehall, City Administrator Ty Hancock, Okeechobee County Planning Department Mike O'Connor, City Council Member Noel Chandler, County Commissioner, Okeechobee County John Morgan, SFWMD Rod Braun, SFWMD Jim LaRue, LaRue Planning & Management Services, Inc. Bill Brisson, LaRue Planning & Management Services, Inc. Tom Tumminia, Department of Community Affairs (via phone) Jim presented a brief summary of the City's five major issues, which are: 1. The need to provide for a transition from residential use to commercial use in certain areas of the City. 2. The need to eliminate inconsistencies between the Official Zoning Map and the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). 3. The need to re-examine the Taylor Creek area and related Plan Policies in order to allow development that would not degrade its water quality. 4. The need to establish compatible and consistent urban design standards for the City's Downtown area. 5. The need to emphasize pedestrian connectivity and establish streetscape standards within the City. Tom Tumminia commented they were excellent issues for this community and gave a brief planning summary of the EAR process. Jim elicited input from the audience, noting that we hope to adopt the EAR in June or July. John Morgan of the SFWMD suggested that the Taylor Creek issue should be expanded to be more general and include looking into the more recent water quality standards in the Comp Plan relative to their consistency with new standards/requirements. Jim asked John to let us know what analysis is needed and what information is available. Page 1 of 3 John Morgan said he will send us and the City and will that water supply is work with us. He also suggested an important issue, particularly getting Okeechobee Utility Authority's Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) renewal resolved. Bill Royce commented that the City is the commercial center for the entire area and we should expect that commercial development in the City would be greater than normally expected of a city the size of Okeechobee. He also noted the transitional commercial issue has been around for years and should be addressed in the form of transition policies and guidelines. Bill Royce suggested that the resolution of conflicts between the zoning and FLUM may present an opportunity to foster improved transportation. Tom Tumminia noted that this presents an opportunity to incorporate provisions r to greenhouse gas emission and transportation trips and developing an integrated system would be a plus. Bill Royce suggested that since Okeechobee is a "DULA" the two-year period for the mobility plan coincides with the 18-month period for the EAR -based amendment. He suggested including transportation as a major issue and incorporating the mobility plan in the EAR process, thereby tying in with major issues 1, 2 and 5. Jim LaRue responded that this would be a separate analysis in the EAR rather than a local major issue. Bill Royce suggested being careful with issues 4 and 5 (consistent and compatible urban design and connectivity and streetscape standards) and to avoid going into too much detail that is more appropriate to the LDC. Jim LaRue responded that issues 4 and 5 would be incorporated into the EAR -based amendment in the form of policies enabling design guidelines. The criteria would be in the Comp Plan (e.g., trade-offs or bonuses). Brian Whitehall questioned how would the mechanics of incorporating issue #4 (compatible and consistent urban design) be addressed. Jim LaRue responded that this would be discussed and would be included at the policy level in the Comp Plan, but the detail of implementation would be addressed in the LDC. John Morgan noted that "Low Impact Design (LID)" could be incorporated as a policy. Page 2 of 3 Jim LaRue summarized that the five local issues presented during the meeting would be included in the "letter of understanding" that will go the DCA. The input from the participants at this meeting will be helpful in preparing the EAR. We will provide a summary of the meeting to the attendees and will keep them posted regarding the schedule, etc. As a result of the input received during the meeting, we suggest the local major issues chosen by the City remain as identified by the LPA and City Council. With regard to the suggestion by the Water Management District to expand the scope of the Taylor Creek issue, we believe the issue should remain described. As a special issue, however, the City's policies for water quality will be examined with regard to their consistency with new water management standards.

City Clerk media are for the sole purpose of backup for official records of the Clerk. ATTEST: Dowling R. Watford, Jr., Mayor Pro-Tempore The OUA is seeking an endorsement from the City to proceed with their objection only and stating that the OUA service area includes all of Okeechobee County. Council Member O'Connor asked whether this has been presented to the County? Mr. Hayford and Mr. Conely both answered no, this was their first presentation, however, the Board of County Commissioners will be next. Mr. Conley explained the reason for the objection is that this new facility will be governed by the procedures of the PSC and there have been situations where they have circumvented local agreements (such as the one that created the OUA) to benefit their own interest. Should this utility company be allowed to treat and distribute water, residents which are considered part of the OUA service area, will likely use the nearest facility, which would be Groveland Utilities. Council Member Williams asked, when the Grove Community was forming, did OUA enter into any agreement or notify them that OUA serviced all of Okeechobee County? Mr. Conley, answered no. He then stated after contacting Evans Property he believes their intent is to preserve and use this property for a biofuel facility, as there is no longer a residential community development planned. They have realized that the business of water service would be a valuable resource and do not want to give up their huge water consumption permit they have with South Florida Water Management District. Council Member Williams moved to instruct the Administrator to write a letter from the City Council with the sufficient information to support the OUA's position with the objection of Groveland Utilities; seconded by Council Member O'Connor.
