City Clerk media are for the sole purpose of backup for official records of the Clerk. ATTEST: Lane Gamiotea, CMC, City Clerk Dowling R. Watford, Mayor Pro-Tempore Finance Director Riedel explained that the end of the year adjustments reflect zero dollars from the $397,498.00 reserves approved at the time of adoption due to a slight increase in expected revenues, along with a big savings in non -spent expenditures. Ad Valorem Tax Revenue was receipted $3,095.00 more than budgeted. Due to new construction, receipted revenue is up from the past year by $36,000.00. Sales Tax Revenues are up from last year, $22,000.00 more than originally budgeted. Overall General Fund Revenues are up $77,331.00 from the original budgeted amount. Turning to Expenditures, which were $366,900.00 less than budgeted. Major factors include: A reduction in the City's contribution to the Pension Funds; reduction in payroll based on delayed replacement of staff; reduced fuel charges; closer Department Head monitoring. General Services had an increase in expenditures as the building permits and inspections are up. These are fee based and indicated revenues have offset the increased cost. Capital Projects Fund adjustments were minimal except the assignmentof $300,000.00 at year-end for Future Capital Projects. In looking toward the 2012/13 Fiscal Year, the City has received the final certification of values and the City could receipt an additional $33,000.00. The Mayor and Council noted their appreciation to all the Department Heads and employees for such good news and hard work.

Because premature birth is a complex problem that has defied simple solutions, we're taking a new approach with transdisciplinary research: Teams of scientists who ordinarily wouldn't work together are sharing knowledge to find answers that have so far been out of reach.

Donors big and small help fund community programs, and millions of others support a variety of special events, including our largest fundraiser, March for Babies°. Together we're improving the lives of babies and families at home and around the world. looking for answers ~ i ` Researchers are working hard to find the causes, treatments and preventions for the serious problems that threaten babies' health. Just as the March of Dimes funded Dr. Jonas Salk's effort decades ago to develop an effective polio vaccine, today we support grantees working in the areas of developmental biology, birth defects and premature birth. Because premature birth is a complex problem that has defied simple solutions, we're taking a new approach with transdisciplinary research: Teams of scientists who ordinarily wouldn't work together are sharing knowledge to find answers that have so far been out of reach. These scientists include experts in genetics, neonatology, sociology, computer science and even artificial intelligence. �%r �e •J� OJ 1970s Newborn intensive care saves the lives of thousands of premature and very sick babies each year. 1960s Newborn screening for PKU and 29 other serious condi- tions keeps babies safe.

Specifically, the Applicant should provide in his/her application and presentation sufficient explanation and documentation to convince the reviewing bodies to find that the proposed change and its likely effects: 1. Are not contrary to Comprehensive Flan requirements. N/A 2. Are compatible with the intent of the LDRs and specifically the intent of the zoning district(s) affected. Text Amendment is Requested for Clarification of Specifically the Wall Sign Regulation for determining allowable area of signs on multi -street frontage lot with a narrow Building Street Front. 3. Will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. No. This Text change may help the public better identify businesses from a side street. 4. Are appropriate for the locations proposed and reasonably compatible with other land uses allowed in the zoning districts affected, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. Yes. This Text change is appropriate, reasonable & compatible. 5. Will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of other properties in the zoning district(s) affected or nearby thereto. No. Text change will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of other properties in the zoning district(s) affected or nearby thereto. 6. Can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood. Text Change is only for business wall signs per code allowed now in Sec 90-572. 7. Will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. N/A 8. Will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. N/A 9. Will not inordinately burden properties in the affected zoning districts by unnecessary restrictions. Text Amendment should only clarify restriction. See.90-572 (a)(2) remains intact to limit maximum size of any building wall sign to 60 sq'. Amended Addition: 10. Your responses addressing the above findings should be as descriptive as possible. You should also make a case for your request by explaining why the existing regulation is inappropriate or inadequate, and why what you are proposing is appropriate not only for your particular interest but also for other property owners and the City as a whole. Attach additional pages as may be necessary to adequately make your case. The City will, in the Staff Report, address the request and evaluate it and your submission in light of the above criteria and the overall appropriateness of the request and offer a recommendation for approval, approval with changes, or denial. thep 'J.- 3t'yisad' es.;e,.Fik.ii..:1St't?. an.:: ij;41eC1Ott€'e'k—Lai(arc`s:' i'te:t'()Iltii'the: Jovi.icr;:k..._te_t��ittt_ t{ fl'C}C�EIi r On the most major C'�1ai�\1 dy i assif.ication. lt'fcDonald's Zoning Px iew attached on page e -6 is the pfi.'Tf-Cct f Yarnp!,::, t of the regulations adverse eft%c't on a husine:,s, The outf'.orne is clearly Ellusk rated by the r ceniay remodeled McDonald's.

Box 3211, Jupiter, Florida Contact Person: Susanne Wildner Phone Number: 561-743-8066 E-mail Address info@codecheckers.com Request Applicant is requesting a text amendment to Sec. 90-572(a)(1) of the Land Development Regulations to change the method of calculating the square footage of sign face area allowable for building signs on buildings with a single occupant. The requested change is proposed to read as follows: Sec. 90-572. — Building Signs (a) Building signs for building with a single business or occupant; (1) One square foot of sign face area for each linear foot of the building width that faces the font of +h^'^+ a street or access drives (for example, if the width of the building facing the front of the let one street is 50 feet wile and building length facing an additional street is 100 feet the maximum total sign face area of all building signs is 150 square feet.) The effect of the change is to increase the amount of sign face area allowable by including in the calculation of allowable sign face area building frontage on side and rear streets as well as the primary street frontage. 11 1 Serving Florida ixxal Governments Since 1988 Staff Report *no, Applicant's NaO:"�V1cDonald's Corporation Request for Text Amendment to LDRs Petition No. 12-001-TA Section 70-340 of the Land Development Regulations requires that all petitions for change of the land development regulations shall be considered in relation to the following criteria, where applicable. The Applicant has provided comment to each of the required findings. These are repeated in this Times Roman typeface. Staff comments follow the Applicant's statements and are shown in Arial typeface. 1. The proposed change and its likely effects are not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. "N/A" Staff Comment: No modification of sign regulations would be in conflict with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed change and its likely effects are compatible with the intent of the LDRs and specifically the intent of the zoning district(s) affected. "Text Amendment is Requested for Clarification of Sec. 90-572. - Building Signs. Specifically the Wall Sign Regulation for determining allowable area of signs on multi - street frontage lot with a narrow Building Street Front." Staff Comment: We do not agree that the proposed change is a clarification. Rather, it is a significant change in the manner that the allowable area of building signs is calculated. Nevertheless, our research indicates to us that the changes to Sec. 90-572 under Ordinance 994 could be considered to have resulted in rather severe reductions in allowable building signage. We believe the method of calculating allowable signage should be relaxed somewhat, thereby allowing a modest increase in building signage for single tenant occupancies, but we do not favor the specific change proposed by the Applicant. This opinion applies as well to the Staff Comments offered on each of the following criteria. The Staffs position will be explained more fully later in the Staff Report. 3. The proposed change and its likely effects will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. "No. This Text change may help the public better identify businesses from a side street." Staff Comment: We do not believe that a modest increase in the size of allowable signage will have an adverse effect on the public interest. However, most businesses, particularly those on major thoroughfare, do not rely upon identification from side streets. In fact, most business relay more on pole signs for identification than building signs. While improvement of visibility from side streets may result from a proposed change, it is not a significant basis upon which to base an amendment to the LDRs. ., 2 Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Report �+' *NOStaff Re p Applicant's Name: McDonald's Corporation Request for Text Amendment to LDRs Petition No. 12-001-TA 4. The proposed change and its likely effects are appropriate for the locations proposed and reasonably compatible with other land uses allowed in the zoning districts affected, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. "Yes. This Text change is appropriate, reasonable & compatible." Staff Comment: A modest change in the amount of building signage allowable will be appropriate for the commercial locations where the signage will occur and will not be detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. These areas are established commercial areas where signage is expected. 5. The proposed change and its likely effects will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of other properties in the zoning district(s) affected or nearby thereto. "No. Text change will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of other properties in the zoning district(s) affected or nearby thereto." Staff Comment: A modest change in the amount of building signage allowable will be appropriate for the commercial locations where the signage will occur and will not adversely affect property values or living conditions in the various commercial zoning districts. 6. The proposed change and its. likely effects can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood. "Text Change is only for business wall signs per code allowed now in Sec 90-572." Staff Comment: Building signage is not normally considered to require buffering from surrounding uses. 7. Will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. "N/A" Staff Comment: We agree this is not applicable. 8. Will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety.

Will not inordinately burden properties in the affected zoning districts by unnecessary restrictions. "Text Amendment should only clarify restriction. Sec.90-572 (a)(2) remains intact to limit maximum size of any building wall sign to 60 sq'." Staff Comment: On the contrary, modest relaxation of the limits on building signage will reduce restrictions in the commercial zoning districts. Further, the Applicant has been instructed that he/she should make a case for the request by explaining why the existing regulation is inappropriate or inadequate, and why what is proposed is appropriate not only his/her particular interest but also for other property owners and the City as a whole. The Applicant provides the following rationale in his/her response to the above instructions: "It is McDonald's position to be Community Minded; to support, improve, maintain and rein- force the communities in which they operate. So with respect and consideration for Okeechobee's current Land Development Regulations, we are requesting this text amendment only to clarify Sec. 90-572. - Building Signs. Specifically, only the Wall Sign Regulation Text for determining allowable area of signs on multi -street frontage lots with a narrow Building on Street Front. Currently, the regulation unfairly limits the building wall signs of multi -frontage businesses that have a narrow building on the addressed street front and face additional streets/ access ways. Based on the City's position that the 'front of +he 110V definition as referred to in City Code Sec. 90-572 refers to the street upon which the property is addressed and absent an assigned street address, the front of the lot is considered that side fronting on the most major roadway classification. McDonald's Zoning Review attached on page 5-6 is the perfect example* of the regulations adverse effect on a business. The outcome is clearly illustrated by the recently remodeled McDonald's. After a short survey of just the businesses located near & around our location on State Road 70, we quickly located multiple existing locations that would suffer directly should they need to re-sign their business under this latest code regulation. This text change correction would not allow for any greater benefit to these narrow building frontage businesses other than what is already enjoyed by all other multi -frontage businesses. By striking the language noted in our proposed text amendment, the intent of the code would not be diluted but amended to correct this disparity. In fact, they would still be subject to the same limiting applicable current regulations of signs that would remain intact: Sec.90.572 (a)(2) - Maximum Side Wall Signs 60sq' & Sec. 90-573 — Maximum Total Area of All Signs - limits the combined sign area of building signs, ground signs and pole signs to one square foot for each linear foot of property on a frontage street, plus one square foot for each two linear feet of property on side streets." �i�I111ptl�R�MMI1��1YQ010 ;siw!J = 4 Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report 14111111K Request for Text Amendment to LDRs Applicant's Name: M� cDonald's Corporation Petition No. 12-001-TA Sfaff� C'ammlent�° � N K { t When Ordinance 994 was adopted, the calculation of the amount of building signage on single -occupancy buildings was not questioned. While other parts of the new sign ordinance were thoroughly discussed during consideration of Ord. 994, no one on the Planning Board or the City Council questioned the change in how allowable building signage was calculated. Consequently, Sec. 90-572 was adopted as proposed in the City Attorney's initial draft. This represented a dramatic reduction in the amount of signage that would be allowed. Prior to Ord. 994, a single -occupancy use could calcu- late the amount of allowable signage based on the linear feet of the property fronting on a street as well as property along a side or rear street. Ordinance 994 reduced the calculation to include only the building frontage along the front of the lot. In some instances the amount of building signage allowable under the current regulations is less than 10% of that before the adoption of Ord. 994. During the Site Plan Review of the McDonald's renovation, it was found that the pro- posed signage exceeded that allowable under the Code. When McDonald's recognized that it could only have 49 square feet of building signage, the firm decided that this was insufficient and, after discussion with the City Staff, it was determined that the most appropriate approach would be to request a change to the text of Sec. 90-572. We agree in principal with the Applicant's request, but after analyzing the situation, believe that there is a better solution than that proposed by the Applicant. While the Applicant's proposal does address the problem associated with multi -frontage parcels with narrow buildings facing the front of the lot, it also increases the amount of signage permissible on larger lots with larger buildings more than we believe is appropriate. Also, the Applicant's approach still bases the amount of signage allowable on the size of the building facing the various streets. We believe this is cumbersome and requires that the frontage of the building be calculated. This can sometimes be difficult when there are irregularities in the shape of the building. Therefore, we propose returning to calculation of allowable signage to a method based on the linear street frontage along the front of the lot. Since the dimension of the front of a lot is easily determined and can be found on any survey, no special calculations are required. Our proposal is to calculate the allowable building signage based on one square foot of signage for each linear foot along the front property line. Linear footage of property along rear streets or side street property lines are not counted in the calculation. Following is a table showing how much building signage is allowed prior to Ord. 994, under the current regulations, as proposed by the Applicant, and under the proposal recommended by the Staff. 5 Senin$ Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Request for Text Amendment to LDRs Applicant's Name: McDonald's Corporation Petition No. 12-001-TA ALLOWABLE BUILDING SIGN SQUARE FOOTAGE SELECTED SINGLE-OCCUPANY SITES ON SR70 AND US 441 ORIGINAL PRIOR TO .

On October 30`}`, a meeting was held with the applicants and the contractors. Only four (4) of the applicants and contractors attended the meeting. Ms. Patricia Anderson withdrew from the program two days after the meeting due to the fact that she needs to sell her home in the City to move closer to Miami as her daughter is on the organ transplant list. Attempts were made to notify the other applicant, but all her phones had been disconnected. A letter will be mailed to her to establish a new contract signing date and time. At the October 30`h meeting, I learned that several of these projects will require the homeowners to temporarily relocate out of their homes while the work is being completed. The CDBG program covers temporary relocation and the City has a budget of $35,000 for this activity. To date, only $300.00 has been expended for this activity. In the City's Housing Assistance Plan, it states "...If it becomes necessary, the City may determine that temporary relocation exceeding the $1,000.00 limit may be required if unusual circumstances exist..." The homeowners have been attempting to locate temporary housing for the duration of their projects which could be up to 90 days or more. Ms. Goulette has been able to locate temporary housing at the fair market rate of $450 per month. Ms. Smith has been able to locate temporary housing at a fair market rate of $500 per month. Mr. and Mrs. Shock have not yet notified me as to the outcome of their housing search, but I would estimate that they will also be in the $500 per month range. I would like to ask that the City Council provide permission for the CDBG Grant Administrator to exceed the $1,000 limit for temporary relocation on as "as needed" basis per applicant. The decision to exceed this limit will be based upon the individual needs of each applicant and how long they must be out of their homes in order to successfully complete their rehab/demo projects. Thank you very much for considering this request. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions and/or comments. /nsp Exhibit 3 Robin Brock Nov 13, 2012 From: Sue Christopher<schristopher@cityofokeechobee.com> Sens: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 3:02 PM To: 'Robin Brock' Subject: Cases to be put on next CC mtg. agenda At their last meeting on Oct. 9`h the Code Board made a recommendation to have City Council consider foreclosure proceedings on the following: Case 10-097 and 11-113 Kurt & Jacqueline Keplinger at 407 NE 9`s Avenue, Lot: 48 River Run Resort Phase II, Parcel #3-15-37-35-021B-00000-480.

The reserves budgeted for operational cost for fiscal year 2012 was $397,498. The slight increase in expected revenues, along with a big savings in non -spent expenditures has allowed us to present our end of year budget adjustments indicating no use of reserves is needed for operational cost for the city. Revenues Ad Valorem Tax Revenue is receipted as expected at 97%, $3,095 more than budgeted. Due to new construction, receipted revenue is up from the past year by $36,000. Sales tax revenues are up from last year and are 5.5% ($22,000) more than originally budgeted. Overall General Fund Revenues are up $77,331 (1.7%) from the original budgeted amount of $4,563,590. Building and Permitting transactions throughout the year have been higher than anticipated. The End of Year Budget amendment increases revenues for Permits as well as Zoning Income. Page 1 of 2 *"W 2n Expenditures Expended dollars in the General Fund are $366,900 less than budgeted. This reflects a 6.9% decrease in General Fund expenditures as amended. Major contributing factors include, a reduction in the city's contribution in pension, reduction in payroll based on delayed replacement of staff. Fuel charges reduced based on lower per gallon anticipated cost. Each Department continues to monitor each line item within their budget by scrutinizing the need for services and goods which keeps operation cost down. Within the General Services department there is a major increase for the inspection and permitting process, as building permits are up from expected therefore cost are up. Building permits and inspections are fee based and indicated revenues have offset the increased cost. Capital Projects Fund adjustments are minimal, except that we do have an assignment of $300,000 at year end for Future Capital projects. 2013 Fiscal Year Final Certification of Values for our fiscal year 2012-2013 was reported by the Property Appraiser in October. This value reflects an increase in the previously reported amounts during our budget process by $4.2 million. Based on this year's current millage rate (same as last year's) we could receipt an additional $33,000 for this fiscal year.

Terry Burroughs is on the Agenda to give an update to the City Council as to what they've been up to. Mr. Burroughs has sent his presentation and I've enclosed it in the packet. • Gary Ritter, SFWMD - is on the Agenda to review the agencies activity and status of issues such as the Taylor Creek lock repair. • CDBG Housing rehab project bids — Please notice the Agenda item/exhibit requesting Council approval to exceed the $1000 limit to provide temporary relocation for applicants while they are having their houses rehabbed. We had one of the Oct 16 approved applicants (Patricia Anderson, 911 NW 12th St) withdraw from the program, due a family conflict issue. I've attached a spreadsheet reflecting all the bids to date. Budget summary. $560k-housing rehab; $105k admin; $35k occupant relocations. • Main Street Beautification grant — Have not heard any new info on this matter. • Economic Council letter to OUA, copied to the City Council, et.al. (if not picked up it's in your packets) — I took the time to evaluate Mr. Worley's comments w/ John Hayford. He explained that OUA has a dilemma of significant debt related to construction of the treatment plant and limited customer base to help retire that debt. New infrastructure/expansion would expand the customer base, but would, of course, add additional debt. OUA has conducted engineering design work to the extent necessary to pursue funding (apparently through the USDA) and the level of funding should determine if the project is cost effective to pursue. I rec'd some maps (incl the East wastewater Plan, east side force main and the Treasure Island Service area) along with an email explanation from John, all enclosed in the packet. Mr. Hayford reiterated his willingness to appear in front of the City Council any time and, if possible, would bring City appointed Board members (now Steve Nelson, Noel Chandler & alt Jeff Fadley) if need be. • Wellness Screening project — Next Wed, Nov 14 at the Civic Center for all our employees, including the City Council along w/ OUA and County personnel. Please call India's office to schedule a time for your personal health screening and while there, if you wish, participate in some of the fun thing the Committee has set up. Pls see the enclosed flyer. Coming Council meetings dates: December 4 January 15 • Farm City week lunch — at KOA, Nov 15 — see attached. Page 1 11113112 Activity Rpt- %w CM Building Dept / General Services: • Ray Schaub sent a great `good bye' email and I've attached it. Jeff Newell is filling the role as our new Building Official. • Zoning and Future Land Use map conflicts — Ord's 1092 & 1093. Regarding the Zoning and Future Land Use changes, I received a memo from Bill Brisson today and haven't analyzed it. As soon as we compare notes w/ Bill, A memo will be sent to each of you. We have nothing for this meeting. McDonald's sign regulation amendment request (Ord 1094 on the Agenda for end rdg)) — McDonald's was seeking a more liberal signage provision to allow adequate side street signage. Currently the Code provides for 'building signs' as 1 sq' for each linear foot of the building facing the front of the lot. The Planning Bd has concurred that simply identifying the limitation based on the very quantifiable lot size, with the restriction being 1 sq ft of building signage for each 1 linear foot of frontage property line which would almost accommodate McDonalds' request in the end, but also, beside adding more signage, make it more simple in the future for the City to interpret. Finance: Final f/y 2012 Budget adjustments — are on the Agenda and the summary sheet is an exhibit. The most notable point on the summary sheet is that we negated the transfer of funds to balance the budget. Good news considering, as late as a few months ago, the City was anticipating a transfer of about $43,000 from reserves. Hired Cindy Beeson, 409 SE 4th Avenue, to replace Nathan Pippin for the Finance Clerk position, effective Friday, Nov 9. Health screening —The `Wellness Fair' (`Fit four fall') program where our employees would have the exposure to health screening is scheduled for Nov 14, 2012. The plan is to have approx 300 employees from the OUA, County and City participate at the Civic Center, on Hwy 98. Fire Dept & Code Enforcement: • Chiefs employee recognition — I'm attaching a memo that Chief Smith sent to me commending employees on their action involving a pretty serious car accident on November 1. • Code Board Foreclosure recommendation — On the Agenda is the Code Board's recommendation derived from their Oct 9 mtg recommending foreclosure on the property at 407 NE 9th Av (Kurt Keplinger) as a result of two cases one in 2010 (Case 10-097) with a lien of $5,725 and one in 2011 (Case 11-113) with a lien of $47,500. The City has mowed the property a few times and I've been advised that the mortgage company has released their interest. Plan to consider at the Nov 13th Council Meeting. Page 2 CM 11/13112 Activity Rpt- Police: Squad car purchase — On the agenda is approval of bids for the 14, 2013 squad cars we anticipate purchasing this year as part of the FL Sheriff's Assoc bidding process from Maroone of Pembroke Pines a total cost of $297,053. (recall we purchased 16 cars last year). To equip the cars we have a quote from Dana Safety Supply, Doral FL, which includes the light bars, consoles, brackets, switches, and installation of same at a total price of $38,136. (I've enclosed in the packets all the supporting documentation) The City budgeted for $322,000 (14cars X $23,000) and $39,382 (14 equipment stuff X $2813). We required Okeechobee Dodge to provide a quote prior to securing the State bid in order to derive a fair/competitive bid. Their bid was $24,000 per car and the State bid was $21,216. Public Works: • Activity report — is attached hereto. • SR 70 (Applebee's) turn lane project — At the last meeting the City approved that FDOT Agreement and it's been sent to them for their review. • Tech Review Comm for FL Pub Gas — Again at the Nov 15 TRC meeting we plan to review the installation plans of FPU, as was discussed when the City adopted the Franchise Agreement. I've enclosed in the packet a map, albeit very small, of the expected gas line construction. They've indicated that the installation would be phased in (without a timeline) w/ Phase 1 incl the gate station near Cemetery Road to NW/NE 9th St, Phase 2 incl north 9th St to SR 70 and Phase 3 from south of SR 70. • DPWks office remodel — Essentially done ... our public works people did a great job! As David indicated in his report, please stop in prior to the meeting to inspect. • SW 21St Storm Sewer County grant funded project — Last construction mtg was held Oct 31, attached an update (2-pgs) prepared by CAS. • Roundabout replacing signal at SW 5tn A and S Park St — I spoke to Culpepper and Terpening (the engineering firm assoc w/the Applebee's turn lane) again last week about the roundabout concept and their initial reaction was that they may be able to provide a draft (free of charge) of how it may work. After l receive that l will forward to the Council for discussion. • SR 70 & 441 intersection — Rec'd an FDOT Oct 18 letter (attached) response from our Sep 18 input on the final design plans. On a related note, as you all are aware, there has been occasional discussion about getting a helicopter to display on the empty pad. With the intersection improvement, the pad appears to be too close to the intersection, at least by technical measurement. So, we sent an Oct 25 email (attached) to the same FDOT project manager advising him of the situation and requesting financial support in repositioning the pad. To date I've heard nothing. Page 3 11/13112 Activity Rpt (1 ftlic Wks cont'd)- End.... SR 70 & 441 anticipated bid letting is Dec 4 2013. Building design — house elevation discussion — I've had several conversations w/ Bill Brisson on a code amendment. And I've reviewed the changes with Dept Heads. The Bldg Official had some compliance issues w/ the 25-yr storm event compliance matter as an enforcement issue. So, am continuing to work on it. SW 11 th St 200 block grant funded retention pond — County grant admin Debbie Belcher is hopeful that some CDBG grant hurdles can be rectified. Page 4
