Printed copies of the power point and detailed outlines of the project were distributed. Due to the scope of the project, the area was broken down into four segments. Segment One indicates the new ending point will be, as it intersects with North Parrott Avenue at the City/County Limits (Northeast 14" Street). Segment Four indicates how 710 will be realigned, existing areas abandoned, and how this project will tie 710 into the existing highway at Everglades Boulevard, just West of L- 63N Canal. .TUNE 15, 2010 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 3 OF 4 461. II AGENDA III COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE II Vill. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED A. Presentation of recommendations for the SR 710 widening and extension continued. B. Presentation of South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Report - Gary Ritter, Okeechobee Service Center. C. Motion to approve the Employee Group Health Insurance Plan - City Administrator. There was a lengthy discussion, after which Mayor Pro-Tem Watford stated that from a local standpoint it was disappointing to hear the recommendations, as local residents know the long term effect and the better alternative is to take the roadway (Segment One) more North of town, than to bring it in only 14 blocks from the main intersection. The citizens were hoping for something better than what is being recommended. There were two alternatives that were studied where Segment One could end, one was at Northwest 36' Street (Cemetery Road), the other was Northwest 23rd Lane. Mr. Dangel explained that both did not meet the Federal Highway guidelines, additionally the School Board strongly objected to the proposal of Northwest 23rd Lane, South of the High School campus, as they have recently purchased a large parcel to the South for expansion and this would divide the campus. The project is not on the current Five -Year Project list. However, in order for the project to move forward, a recommendation is needed from the City Council. The consensus of the Council was to instruct Administrator Whitehall to write a letter of support for the project, although, reluctantly. As requested by the County, this study is including a realignment of County Road 714/Martin Highway so that it creates an intersection of 710 and County Road 15-B. This would expedite the County's ability to apply for Federal Grants to fund this project, but would not be included with the FDOT 710 project. Mr. Gary Ritter of South Florida Water Management District, distributed a packet of information to the Council containing the complete copy of River of Grass Project, Everglades Restoration Phase I Planning - Conceptual Configurations Development. Mr. Ritter had promised a copy of the complete packet to the Council at the May 18 meeting during the update of this project. The Council again thanked Mr. Ritter for explaining the procedure and for assisting in making the presentation to the panel that a reservoir within Lake Okeechobee would not be an appropriate method to assist in water quality of the lake. The second packet of information was reviewed by Mr. Ritter, `Preparing for the Rainy Season Operations and Actions.' This gave the Council a better idea of the water district's plan for the rainy season as well as the hurricane season. Council Member Markham noted his gratitude to Mr. Ritter and his hard work toward getting SFWMD to listen and work with Okeechobee officials. There was no official action taken on this item. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford yielded the floor to Administrator Whitehall in order to bring the Council up to date on the employee's health insurance proposal. The City is looking at a 26 percent increase in premiums to continue with Aetna's current policy. Various avenues were explored. Staff is recommending the Council award the employee health insurance to Public Risk Management of Florida Health Trust (PRM). The County and Okeechobee Utility Authority are members of the insurance pool as well. The pros and cons of joining a pool type group were discussed at length. Mr. Richard Schell of PRM was present to respond to questions as well. 4V2 JUNE 15, 2010 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 4 OF 4 II AGENDA III COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE II VIII.
