NEW BUSINESS. A. Fair Housing Presentation for Elected Officials and the General Ms. Phillips reviewed the Fair Housing Manual. Fair housing is a right of every American. The right to live where they Public pertaining to the Fiscal Year 2010 Community Development choose, to raise a family, to own a home, in dignity and without fear of discrimination, is a fundamental right Block Grant - Nancy Phillips, Grant Administrator. guaranteed to all Americans. Fair housing is a right protected by federal and state laws. Fair housing means an individual may freely choose a place to live without regard of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familiar status. The fair housing act protects people with physical and/or mental disabilities, and makes it illegal for anyone to deny an individual on that basis. What is discrimination? Housing discrimination is rarely blatant. It is usually disguised and is done with a smile and handshake. An individuals fair housing rights are violated when he/she is prevented from renting or buying a residence because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familial status in the areas of rental and real estate transactions within the local community. By working with local governments, lending institutions, landlords, and developers to educate individuals in our community about the Fair Housing Act, discrimination can be eliminated. Should an individual feel that they are being treated unfairly, the City is to encourage to call HUD at 1-800-669-9777, or the complaint can be given to Ms. Phillips to assist them. The City has adopted, by ordinance, as required, to prohibit discrimination in the sale or rental of housing on the basis of the seven protected classes. :)13 NOVEMBER 2, 2010 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 5 OF 8 II AGENDA III COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE II VIII. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Fair Housing Presentation continued. Methods of encouraging fair housing are: hold public educational and training programs forthe general public; annually review local land use and zoning laws and procedures to determine whether they contribute to or detract from Fair Housing; send letters to businesses selling, renting or financing housing encouraging them to adhere to the Federal Fair Housing Law; provide public endorsement of the principle of fair housing; require the use of affirmative marketing and advertising practices by private developers as a condition for obtaining local licensees and permits; establish a Fair Housing Commission to review and investigate activity and complaints for housing related industries. There was no official action required on this item. B. Consider request pertaining to parking issues at the White House Mr. Ronnie Lawrence, owner of White House Plaza, located at 1120 South Parrott Avenue, conveyed the parking Plaza - Ronnie Lawrence (Exhibit 2). situation to the Council in that his tenants are parking on the East right-of-way of Southwest 2"d Avenue, which is along the back of their buildings. Parking on the right-of-way is prohibited, therefore, instead of his tenants being ticketed for parking illegally he would like to pave the back portion of his property and allow it to encroach into the right-of-way. This is not the correct method to eliminate the situation as it then creates vehicles backing out onto a street. The layout of the White House Plaza is limited, as an older home was remodeled and incorporated in the site as well as saving some older oak tree's. City Staff has reviewed the preliminary plans submitted by Mr. Lawrence. Included in Exhibit Two is a copy of Administrator Whitehall's letter outlining Staff's comments, as well as discussion related to the issues: (1) The parking angle is incorrect and should probably be slanted the opposite direction. Council and Mr. Lawrence agreed that the direction of the angle parking will be turned the opposite direction. (2) The garbage dumpster may not be located in the proper location after the above modifications. Due to the above consensus, the location of the dumpster will be moved to the North. (3) It appears there is a slight grade from South to North between the existing sidewalk and the street, which should remain intact along with construction of an asphalt transition/approach to the proposed pavers, maybe 10 feet in width toward the East. There was no discussion on this item. (4) The existing sidewalk appears to be sacrificed in the construction of the new spaces and provisions will need to be made to address that issue. The configuration of sidewalk will have to be worked out by Mr. Lawrence's en, iq Weer, and approved by City Staff. 514 NOVEMBER 2, 2010 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 6 OF 8 AGENDA F COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE Vill. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. B. Consider request pertaining to parking issues at the White House (5) The proposed infiltration system will require approval from City engineering. There was no discussion on this item. Plaza continued. (6) The improvement does not necessarily change the Technical Review Committee's decision to not allow a higher, more intense use of the building facilities as a result of the improvement; the City Council acted at the time of the construction to allow a reduction in parking for the facility. Mr. Lawrence conveyed his understanding that adding these parking spaces does not allow him to lease space to a more intensive use, since the plaza had already received a parking reduction based on the types of uses he will rent space to. After a lengthy discussion, the consensus of the Council was that Mr. Lawrence was to present a revised layout, with the above changes, items (1) to (5), for Council approval. C. Consider request pertaining to flashing store signs - Steve Nelson Mr. Steve Nelson, owner of Okeechobee Discount Drugs, located at 203 Southwest Park Street, presented his request (Exhibit 3). to the Council to consider amending Code Section 90-568, to permit the electronic signs to scroll and stay longer than 60 seconds. He contacted Police Chief Davis to see whether there were any traffic accidents due to his sign, and there were none. He also contacted the Department of Transportation for statistics of accidents due to these types of signs, there were none. He pointed out that with this electronic sign it attributes 12 percent of his sales, and he has used the sign for public service or safety announcements. Administrator Whitehall stated that the code was put in place notjust for safety but for an aesthetic perspective as well. Council Member Watford was concerned that since the City permitted these signs, they should be allowed to be used. Council Member O'Connor suggested that a grace period be given from code violations. Mayor Kirk instructed Staff to halt any action against the business owners that already have electronic signs until Staff reviews this matter further and brings back to Council. D. Motion to approve a Roadway Improvement Bid for the 2010 Street A bid opening was held on October 22, 2010, for the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Roadway Improvements.

Council Member O'Connor moved to award the 2010 Roadway Improvement Bid #PW04.11-10.9 to the low bidder, Dickerson FL, Inc. of Fort Pierce, in the amount of $4.98/unit price; seconded by Council Member Markham. _L J NOVEMBER 2, 2010 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 7 OF 8 L, 1 0 AGENDA III COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE II VIII.

Please take notice and be advised that when a person decides to appeal any decision made by the City Council with respect to any matter considered at this meeting, he/she may need to insure that a verbatim record of the proceeding is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based. Gterk media are for the sole purpose of backup for official records of the Clerk. AT ST: 1 r n Lane Ga)miotea, C, ty Clerk James E. Kirk, Mayor Ms. Maria Busbee, Vice President of Royal's O.K. Lunch, Inc., which owns Northshore Plaza located at 804 East North Park Street requested the Council consider allowing churches to be permitted within a Heavy Commercial Zoning District, without size limitations such as minimum lot areas. She further explained that in these hard economic times her company needs to be able to rent empty office spaces. They have had a few opportunities to rent to churches, but due to the regulations within the Land Development Code, her plaza, which was built in 1971 will not be able to meet today's standards. She further stated that her company owns property within other cities such as Belle Glade, South Bay and Pahokee, and "store -front churches" are a permitted use. It is beneficial as it keeps large store space from remaining empty, and allows new churches the time to grow until they can purchase their own property and build a church. Attorney Cook clarified that a house of worship is not a permitted use in the Commercial Zoning Districts, except through the application of a Special Exception. However, even then it must comply with Division 9, Section 90-696, House of Worship requirements; (1) Location - where permitted by district regulations, (2) Minimum lot area - 40,000 square feet or as required by district regulations; (3) Minimum yards - width: 40 feet, front: 25 feet, 50 feet abutting Residential Zoning District, side: 25 feet, 50 feet abutting Residential Zoning District; (4) Maximum lot coverage - 25 percent; (5) Maximum height - 45 feet. Administrator Whitehall has been discussing the matter with City Planner Brisson, he is in the process of researching provisions for a storefront church. This can be presented to the Planning Board at their next meeting and then their recommendations will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration. The consensus of the Council is to move forward and present this to the Planning Board at their November 18' meeting. Staff will keep Ms. Busbee informed of the dates and times of the meetings. Mrs. Busbee thanked the Council for their time and consideration. There being no further items on the agenda, Mayor Kirk adjourned the meeting at 3:46 p.m. The next meeting will be December 7, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. CITY OF OKEECHOBEE NOVEMBER 2, 2010 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OFFICIAL AGENDA fw-a� �a web-e-z I.

Questions 1 WHAT IS FAIR HOUSING? Every American has a right to fair housing. The right to live where they choose, to raise a family, to own a home -- in dignity and without fear of discrimination - is a fundamental right guaranteed to all Americans. "Fair housing choice" means the ability of persons of similar income levels regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familial status to have available to them the same housing choices. Fair housing is a right protected by federal and state laws. Fair housing ,// means an individual may freely choose a place to live without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familial status. The Fair Housing Act protects people with physical or mental disabilities. It is illegal for anyone to deny an individual housing because that individual has a mental or physical disability, or a record of having had a mental or physical disability, or because people think an individual might have a mental or physical disability. Individuals with mental retardation, mental illness, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, visual and hearing impairments, AIDS and other disabilities are protected by the Fair Housing Act. People who use walkers, wheelchairs, service dogs, or a personal care attendant are also protected against housing discrimination. WHAT IS DISCRIMINATION? Housing discrimination is rarely blatant. It is usually disguised and is done with a smile and handshake. An individual's fair housing rights are violated when he/she is prevented from doing one of the following because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familial status: 2 I. Viewing, or renting an apartment; 2. Viewing or purchasing a home; 3. Applying for or securing a house mortgage; and 4. Purchasing homeowners' or renters' insurance. Be suspicious if you hear lines like these: When renting an apartment: • "I rented that apartment right after you called. " • "I'll show you the apartment after I see your green card. " • "This building is for adults only. " • "I don't really want all those changes - a ramp, grab bars, that's too much. " • "We can't have mentally retarded persons living here. Who will take care of them? It i vill make the neighbors uncomfortable. " When buying a home: • "Do you think you can afford this neighborhood? " • "We just can't seem to make an appointment to show you that house. " • "I'll need to pre -qualms you before I show you homes. "* 3 "The owner- just took the house off the market. " When seeking a home mortgage: • "There's a problem with the appraisal. " • "We have a minimum mortgage amount; we don't make loans under $30, 000. " • "We'd like to make this loan, but we need at least a 20% down payment. " • "You haven't been at your job long enough to qualify for a mortgage loan. " • "You might get abetter deal at another bank. Why don't you call there first before you apply here?" *If you are a realtor and normally pre -qualify potential homebuyers before showing homes, please ensure that you pre -qualify all potential hornebuyers. The Federal Fair Housing Act requires that local government aid in the prevention of discrimination due to race, color, religion and real,, ealtoo estate origin, handicap or familial status in the areas of renta transactions within the local community. BY m working with your local goverment, lending institutions, landlords, and developers to educate individuals in your community about the Fair Housing Act, discrimination can be eliminated. SI WHAT TO DO IF DISCRIMINATED AGAINST It is against the law to deny people the opportunity to live where they vivant to live. If an individual feels that they are being treated unfairly, please encourage them to take the following steps: • Call the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development at 1-800-669-9777 or TDD 1-800-927-9275 for hearing impaired • Call the local or state fair housing enforcement agency • Keep records of any meetings and phone calls with the landlord, property manager, real estate agency, loan officer or insurance agent. Include the person's name and title, the meeting place, date and time. Write down what happened and what was said and save all receipts, applications, business cards or other documents received during your meetings. DISCUSSION OF FAIR HOUSING ORDINANCE Your local government has adopted a Fair Housing Ordinance as required by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. This ordinance prohibits discrimination in the sale or rental of housing on the basis of the seven (7) protected classes (i.e., race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familial status). 5 HOW CAN FAIR HOUSING BE ENCOURAGED IN YOUR COMMUNITY? There are several ways to affirmatively further Fair housing in a community. One way that the local government can affirmatively further fair housing is to hold public educational/training programs for the general public as well as financial institutions, Realtors, and private developers to promote fair housing. SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES TO AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHER FAIR HOUSING 1. Promote efforts to enact strong fair housing laws by developing or strengthening local fair housing laws or ordinances so they are substantially equivalent to federal law; 2. Review local land use and zoning laws and procedures to determine whether they contribute to, or detract from, progress in fair housing. 3. Send letters from the local government to businesses selling, renting, or financing housing, encouraging them to adhere to the Federal Fair Housing Law; 4. Provide for public endorsement of the principle of fair housing and of the adherence to the Federal Fair Housing Law; 5. Require the use of affirmative marketing and advertising practices by private developers as a condition for obtaining local licenses and permits; 6. Establish a Fair Housing Commission to review and investigate activities and complaints of housing -related industries including; n A. Real estate brokerage practices B. Lending practices C. Realtor practices D. Insurance practices E. Builder sales practices F. Appraisal practices 7. Contact local organizations to assess existing public opinion about the status of fair housing in the community and to solicit assisting in improving housing opportunities. Organizations to contact might include: A. Fair housing organizations B. Public and private "community centers" C. Civil rights groups D. Organizations representing minorities, women, older citizens, and the handicapped 8. Encourage participation of real estate broker associations, homebuilders, landlords, and lenders in programs to promote the following: A. Affirmative marketing B. Open housing C. Review mortgage underwriting/credit criteria that may have an adverse impact on minorities and women D. Broaden lending practices E. Community revitalization efforts 9. Develop public information and education programs promoting fair housing to be utilized during Fair Housing Week which is held every spring. Provide materials, posters and other information to: A. Newspapers B. Other publishers of advertisements C. Real estate firms D. Financial institutions E. Savings and Loan Associations F. Radio stations G. ReIigious organizations H. Public schools and institutions of higher education I. Major employers 10. Document efforts to focus public information activities on: A. Specific population groups known to have suffered from discriminatory practices in the past B. Groups directly involved in housing -related activities 1 I. Conduct or support through financial and technical assistance and public endorsement: A. Fair housing assistance programs that include: (1) Providing information to minorities regarding housing opportunity in non -minority areas (2) Providing escorts for minorities seeking housing B. A fair housing complaint referral program that includes: (1) Providing fair housing information (2) Assistance for filing fair housing complaints C. Educational programs for the following types of groups: 8 (1). Citizen groups concerned with housing issues (fair housing groups, tenant associations, builders, real estate personnel, lenders, landlords) (2) Organizations representing specific population groups (minorities, women, senior citizens, etc.) (3) Other local organizations (advocacy groups, unions, voter leagues) 9 REMEMBER, IF YOU EXPERIENCE HOUSING DISCRIMINATION, CONTACT: United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Room 5204 Washington, D.C. 20410-2000 1-800-669-9777 1-800-927-9275 - TDD I0 DIIBIT 2 M OF O hWq� s °4; � � a o Oeoetfkechb y. a�.♦= 1 :� 1915 �c AbV 2, 2010 Bricr. Whitehall Office of the Cif) Administrator September 20, 2010 Ronnie Lawrence P O Box 549 Okeechobee, FL 34974 RE: White House Plaza parking on west side Dear Mr. Lawrence, After our chat the other day about the above subject matter, I had an opportunity to speak with Loris Asmussen. suggested a few modifications to the plan that he prepared dated 4/20/10, after speaking to staff. We concluded that it was probably pointless to have Loris make modification to a plan that may not be agreeable to the City Council. So, my thinking is that the plan be presented to the Council for their approval. In connection with that presentation, I plan to make the following remarks: 1. The parking angle is incorrect and should probably be slanted the opposite direction. 2. The garbage dumpster may not be located in the proper location after the above modifications. 3. It appears there is a slight grade from south to north between the existing sidewalk and the street, which should remain intact along with construction of an asphalt transition/approach to the proposed pavers... maybe ten (10) feet in width toward the east. 4. The existing sidewalk appears to be sacrificed in the construction of the new spaces and provisions will need to be made to address that issue. 5. The proposed infiltration system will require approval from City engineering. 6. The improvement does not necessarily change the Technical Review Committee's decision to not allow a higher, more intense use of the building facilities as a result of the improvement. Further, it's my recollection that the City Council acted at the time of the construction to allow a reduction in parking for the facility. Thanks for your efforts and please advise when you plan to approach the City Council with this matter. Sincerely, V Brian hit all Admin strator ENC-4120/10 plans 55 S.E.

Signs with lights or illuminations that flash, move, rotate, scintillate, blink, flicker, or vary in intensity or color. Signs with visible moving, revolving, running, or rotating parts or visible mechanical movement of any description or other apparent visible movement achieved by electrical, electronic, or mechanical means except for time -temperature -date signs, traditional barber poles, and governmental traffic devices and signage. This prohibition includes signs with the optical illusion of movement by means of a design that presents a pattern capable of giving the illusion of motion or changing of copy except signs of this type that provide time and temperature, or that display an image or electronic message, so long as such display or message does not change more frequently than once every 60 seconds. Met with Steve Nelson, Okeechobee Discount Drugs, SW Park St., requesting that the `moving' sign described in the Code be allowed to stay and scroll more often than the 60 second limitation cited by Code enforcement. He gave the following merits to his argument: 1. Called the Chief and confirmed that there was basically no traffic related hazard to his sing 2. Attributes 12% of his sales to the signage, vs other forms of advertising. 3. Has used the sign for public service announcements in the past lIPage. Memo — flashing signs — S. Nelson issues, 10/1/10 4. Walgreens has a larger sign/smaller bulbs and is able to put their entire message thereon, where he doesn't have that capability 5. Has used for drug recall issues 6. Other communities allow He suggested the Code be modified to allow a two (2) second interval vs the current sixty (60) second requirement. I suggested that a City Council appearance may be in order. 2I1:'a`e September 15, 2010 Steve and Andrea Nelson 1407 SE 8t' Avenue Okeechobee, FL 34974 Re: 203 SW Park Street Dear Business Owner: n, U This is a courtesy letter in reference to the electronic message sign at the location above.abnot It has come to our attention some of the electronic message signs within �e�o to this operating in compliance with City ordinance Chapter 90 Sec 90-568 (4)• ixty seconds e at least s ordinance signs with an electronic message must Pleasedisplay check o be sure your sign s set to comply before changing (see enclosed ordinance}. with this requirement.

RE: End of Year Review/Budget Ad—11/02/10 Council Mtg In review, budget adjustments being requested are for a truer picture of Year End, and how revenues and expenditures have been receipted and expended. Revenues Remembering the overall General Fund Budgeted/Projected Revenues were 11.7% less than prior year; End of year adjustments are within ($17,000) of the projections or 2/10 of a percent difference. Receipted Sales tax revenues from the state were higher than budgeted, which indicates a reduction in the decline of these line items. Other Fees and Charges for Services were less than projected overall, i.e. building and permit fees, insurance premium taxes as well as communication service tax. (These fees are based on consumer driven services purchased and/or used.) Expenditures Expenditures during the year were monitored very closely by each department, this resulted in each department expending less than was budgeted. Overall decrease in expenses from budget, $217,000+; a 4% reduction. Insurance Cost not a high as budgeted Reimbursement for Overtime wages for requested special details Professional Services. i.e. Independent Inspectors cost decreased as specific projects were not realized within the FY. Summary The initial FY 2010 budget was expected to use $159,468 of prior years reserves. As the End of Year Adjustment summary indicates, our expenses decreased significantly enabling us to keep the existing reserves intact. As we close last year (FY 2010) and began the new Fiscal Year 2011 every departments budget is tighter than it has ever been, We are continuing to monitor and review very closely every expense, as we traverse through our fiscal year.

Also attached is a memo from Betty explaining what the Code states about the request, which is to allow a church in a Commercially zoned area, in this case the North Shore Plaza (Popeye's, Zippy's, Ashley's Furniture). As the memo explains, a church could be accommodated through a special exception, but clearly this scenario will not meet the Sp Exc criteria. I debated simply giving the matter to the Planning Board, but am seeking that direction from the Council as to the Planner researching the feasibility. Thanks!

I explained, church's are not a permitted use in the Commercial zoning districts, CPO, CLT, CHV, except through application of Special Exception. Ref. Sec. 90-223(6), 90-253(9), and 90-283 19 . Each parentheses is House of Worship. However, House of Worship anted by Special Exception also must comply with Division 9 Sec. 90-696 House of Worship requirements which (1) Location: Where permitted by district regulations. (2) Minimum lot area: 40,000 -- Square feet or as required by district regulations. 3 Minimum yards. Width: 40 feet. Front: 25 feet; 50 feet abutting residential zoning district. Side: 25 feet; 50 feet abutting Residential zoning district. (4) Maximum lot coverage: 25% 5 Maximum height: 45. feet. She further went on to explain in these economic hard times she needed to be able to rent the offices ace available, and she had a few opportunities to rent to churches. This prompted Ro al's to request an agenda application to appear before City Council.
