Doverspike, Trust, and located at 1202 Northwest 8' Avenue, (part of the abandoned railroad). This property would require a rezoning from Holding to Single Family. The existing use is a vacant two-story building with an office, enclosed storage, livestock pens, and an apartment, a livestock bam, several sets of holding pens and a small rodeo arena.

Owners of Map ID #13a,17 and 18 noted their agreement in writing. Owners of Map ID #12a and 12b offered verbal agreements to staff. The Mayor then opened the floor for Council discussion. Council Member Watford commented that until recently he did not realize the amount of Industrial zoning there was along Taylor Creek in the Northeast section. Several of these areas have been in existence for many years due to the proximity of the railroad. Council Member Maxwell clarified his concerns regarding Map ID #17, (from Single Family to Multi -Family), in that he did not believe the parcel and the two adjoining blocks (190 and 191) would be developed for single family. The City has used multi -family as "the catch all land use/zoning" which may be causing a disproportion of the land use/zoning percentages. Multi -family creates other issues, and for that particular location he suggested it needed to be something better, such as light commercial or professional offices. It is within three blocks of the Central Business District, and has every type of zoning within the surrounding area. He understands that approving this amendment resolves the map conflict, but it does not resolve the entire areas development problem. Discussion ensued, the Council agreed that the property would most likely be changed to a different land use and zoning when the owners were ready to develop the land. In regards to ex-parte communications policy requirements, only Council Member Maxwell was contacted by a neighbor in the area of Map ID #17 to discuss the land use issue. She did not offer her name nor address. c) Vote on motion. VOTE KIRK - YEA MAXWELL - YEA O'CONNOR - YEA WATFORD - YEA WILLIAMS - YEA MOTION CARRIED.

Administrator Whitehall added that should a "hot topic" arise, staff will bring the matter back for Council support. The City's lobbyist, Dale Milita, will be sending updates through out the process once the actual session begins. Should a damaging issue arise, the Council will be consulted to verify the City's approach. The Council also discussed whether to shorten the list of issues, the consensus was to leave them in as only the most important are highlighted during the presentation, each one is not reviewed. Council Member Maxwell was concerned with two of the issues and wanted clarification on them. These were the employee personnel records exemptions and public meetings. Clerk Gamiotea explained the situations she and her staff face with these topics, and while these are not actual Bills for the City to supportor oppose, she is suggesting that should the topics arise, this would be the direction most beneficial.

The following two properties FLU classification will be changed from Single Family to Industrial: • Map ID No. 12b is for a portion of Diamond R. Fertilizer properties, located at 710 Northeast 5th Avenue. The specific area being considered for changes are all of Block 52, City of Okeechobee, Plat Book 1, Page 10, Okeechobee County public records, a portion of abandoned Riverside Drive (contiguous to Blocks 52 and 53), a portion of closed Northeast 6th Avenue, from 7th Street, North to the CSX Railroad; and a portion of closed Northeast 8th Street, from 4th Avenue, East to Taylor Creek and parallel with the railroad. Blocks 52 and 53 are already zoned and being used as Industrial, only the closed streets would require a rezoning, in order to have both maps consistent. • Map ID No.12c is a vacant 0.99 acre unplatted parcel owned by William Mason and located along Northeast 9th Street, West of Taylor Creek, East of Block 51 and North of the railroad. The property will also require a rezoning from Holding to Industrial in order to make both maps consistent. The surrounding existing uses are Industrial.

Doverspike, Trust, and located at 1202 Northwest 81' Avenue, (part of the abandoned railroad). This property would require a rezoning from Holding to Single Family. The existing use is a vacant two-story building with an office, enclosed storage, livestock pens, and an apartment, a livestock bam, several sets of holding pens and a small rodeo arena. The previous cattle company is no longer in business. The majority of the surrounding uses are governmental offices and single family homes, The following property's FLU classification will be changed from Commercial to Public Facilities: 0Map ID No.19 is the West half of Block R of FLAGLER PARK, between Blocks 154 and 170, City of Okeechobee, Plat Book 1, Page 10, Okeechobee County public records, and the Chamber of Commerce office building. Planner Brisson explained that this property was deeded to the City to be used only as a Chamber office, the FLU needs to reflect the public use. The property is already zoned Public Facilities. Mayor Kirk asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public. There were none. Clerk Gamiotea reported that the individual owners were notified of the proposed land use changes. Owners of Map ID #13a,17 and 18 noted their agreement in writing. Owners of Map ID #12a and 12b offered verbal agreements to staff. The Mayor then opened the floor for Council discussion. Council Member Watford commented that until recently he did not realize the amount of Industrial zoning there was along Taylor Creek in the Northeast section. Several of these areas have been in existence for many years due to the proximity of the railroad. Council Member Maxwell clarified his concerns regarding Map ID #17, (from Single Family to Multi -Family), in that he did not believe the parcel and the two adjoining blocks (190 and 191) would be developed for single family. The City has used multi -family as "the catch all land use/zoning" which may be causing a disproportion of the land use/zoning percentages. Multi -family creates other issues, and for that particular location he suggested it needed to be something better, such as light commercial or professional offices. It is within three blocks of the Central Business District, and has every type of zoning within the surrounding area. He understands that approving this amendment resolves the map conflict, but it does not resolve the entire areas development problem. Discussion ensued, the Council agreed that the property would most likely be changed to a different land use and zoning when the owners were ready to develop the land. In regards to ex-parte communications policy requirements, only Council Member Maxwell was contacted by a neighbor in the area of Map ID #17 to discuss the land use issue. She did not offer her name nor address. e) Vote on motion. VOTE KIRK - YEA MAXWELL - YEA O'CONNOR - YEA WATFORD - YEA WILLIAMS - YEA MOTION CARRIED.

Councilman Dowling Watford will serve on the Treasure Coast Council of Lo- cal Governments, Treasure Coast Regional League of Cities and the Battle of Okeecho- bee Re-enactment Committee. At their December meeting, the city council approved an alley lease assignment involving Glades Gas and Florida Public Utilities Company. At Tuesday's meeting the council rescinded that action in order to modify the agreement. The council approved legislative priorities to be presented to the Okeechobee County Legislative Delegation later this month. They will be asking $250,000 for the city storm - water system and $200,000 for the City Commerce Park as well as funding for the Okeechobee Battlefield Historic State Park as well as funding for the Florida Depart- ment of. Transportation Five Year Program. Other issues not involving funding were also approved. The council approved previously dis- cussed city initiated changes to the future land use map and city initiated zoning changes for six properties to ensure they represent the most appropriate uses of the properties. About 24 acres owned by the Okeechobee Utility Authority north of the City Industrial Park was changed from in- dustrial to public utilities on the future land use map and the zoning was changed from holding to public facilities. There were two parcels of land totaling about one acre on the west bank of Taylor Creek immediately north and south of the railroad that were changed from single family to industrial on the future land use map while the zon- ing was changed from holding to industrial. The future land use map for the chamber of commerce building was changed from com- mercial to public facilities. The zoning was not changed. About 1.6 acres of land near the intersection of S.W. Sixth Street and S.W. Seventh Avenue were changed from single family to multi -family on the future land use map and the zoning was changed from holding to residential multiple family. About six acres of land along the east side of N.W. Eighth Avenue that is part of the abandoned Florida East Coast Railroad right of way was changed from no designation to single fam- ily on the future land use map and zoning was changed from holding to residential single family -one. "We're in good shape water wise," Gary Ritter, director of South Florida Water Man- agement District's Okeechobee Service Center told the council. He said the lake was currently at 14.98 feet with 14.71 be- ing the historical average for that date and 13.5 feet being the lake level at this time last year. However he said that since rainfall is five inches below normal district wide he advocated the two day a week watering schedule. Mr. Ritter said the Taylor Creek lock would be fully operational by Feb. 1. Originally the lock rehabilitation project was scheduled to be completed by Oct. 1, 2012. However Mr. Ritter said the lock is 60 years old and this was the first rehabilitation in 40 years. He compared the project to remodel- ling an older house as opposed to building a new house. There was some discussion as to how this delay was hurting the economy. In other action the council: • approved a temporary closing of Fourth Avenue in Flagler Park for a motorcycle rally on April 20 by the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit Victims' Rights' Coalition; • approved temporary closings of Third Main Street seeks artists for annual festival Okeechobee Main Street invites all artists to apply for acceptance to the 2013 Top of the Lake Art Fest.

There were several zoning districts that would have been beneficial to that parcel. The WORKSHOP MINUTES I Planning Staff recommended RSF 1, which will cause the existing use to be non -conforming. However, the use is not accurately known, as it was their extended drive thru service, then later the teller troths were demolished. It appears to only be used as an overflow parking lot In this instance, Planning Staff is recommending to change both the FLU and Zoning for several reasons. One, the surrounding and existing industrial uses around and on the properly. Second, the proximity to the railroad. While there are some residential homes in the area, RSF 1 would not be a practical recommended zoning district The consensus of the Board was to uphold the Planner's recommendation. No. 12 c., is a 0.99 acre parcel located between CSX Railroad and NE V' Street, West of Taylor Creek and East of Block 51. The property has a FLU of SF and a Zoning of H. The recommendation is to change both the FLU and Zoning to Industrial. The parcel is not suitable for any other zoning due to its proximity to the railroad and adjacent existing Industrial uses.

The recommendation is to either rezone to IND to be consistent with the FLU map or change the FLU to Public Facilities (PF) and rezone to Public Facilities (PUB) as suggested by the OUA. Consensus of the Board was to change the FLU to PF and rezone to PUB since the property is owned and operated by a governing agency and has protected well heads.

The current regulations reads one square foot of sign face area for each linear foot of the building width that faces the front of the lot (for example, if the width of the building facing the front of the lot is 50 feet wide, the maximum total sign face area for all building signs is 50 square feet). The applicant is requesting the City consider changing this to increase the amount of allowable sign face area to include in the calculation not only the front street but side and rear streets as well. The Planning Staff Report, presented by Mr. Brission specifically responded to the applicants case, a brief history of the changes made to the sign regulations and a comparison table as to how much signage they would be allowed prior to and after the adoption of Ordinance No. 994, which completely revised the sign regulations. While Planning Staff did not recommend adopting the proposed changes as requested by the applicant, the following recommended changes were offered: 'The total area of all building signs for an enterprise shall not exceed one square foot of sign face area for each linear foot of property along the front of the lot. For the purpose of this section, the front of the lot is the side upon which the property is addressed." CM Map 1D No. 18 Owner: Ivan D.

The recommended mower for this purchase is the "Bush Hog model 3815" with the suggested vendor being Everglades Farm Equipment here in Okeechobee. The purchase price for the mower is $15,095 This request is being made based on the following: • Funding ($15,000) for this purchase was included in the FY2013 City budget • Purchasing this mower will allow a single operator to significantly increase production. The cutting capacity of the new mower is 15' versus the 5-7' mowers currently being used. • The new mower is compatible with the existing tractors being used for mowing operations. In considering the model of mower to be purchased, Operations Supervisor Robertson created a "shortlist" of three final candidates based research, product reputation and his own personal experience. The three models selected for further consideration were the Bush Hog 3815, Rhino FR180, and the Schulte FX-1800. All three mowers were viable candidates and the technical specifications for all of the mowers were very similar. The final model selection was made after considering the following: • All three mowers are available under the 2013 Florida Sheriffs Association bid. (Attached) • All three mowers are available locally from a single vendor, Everglades Farm Equipment Company. • The price for the recommended Bush hog model is $15,095, with the Rhino and Schulte mowers being $14,450 and $16,394 respectively • The final selection of the Bush hog model was made based on: o The technical specifications for this model were slightly better in a few areas, heavier rated PTO driveline, higher ratings on the gearboxes, and a better gearbox warranty than the Schulte model. o Okeechobee County Roads Maintenance currently operates two Bush Hog 15' batwing mowers ant the mowers have been reliable and easy to maintain. My contact at the county told me that he has been able to purchase. aftermarket replacement parts for his mowers that have been significantly less expensive than OEM parts that have performed well saving the county money in their operations budget. o The dealer also recommended this model over the others. Typically I would not give too much stock to a dealer recommendation, however given that the same dealer has all three models and candidly told me that although he would like to sell me the most expensive Schulte mower, that the Bush Hog model was a better value for the money and that he has had a better experience getting parts for the Bush Hog vs. the Rhino mowers. Both Bush Hog and Rhino mowers are manufactured by the same parent company. o The city currently owns a Bush Hog mower and has been happy with the mower. 4 3815 Flex -Wing ell : b r �c Vol gp r arm auN� son, gg— n t t bTLr,i`spl_f«, •.•_� a$:�,.FF.. .u�_ ,�',B �"'-i� �:'v,e�.t.+Fi .�'V, 3'� ���r a-eY . , _y, ,... .. w .- ..:i✓a. #cry. ,.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT: The foregoing constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties and may be modified only by a writing signed by both parties. AS TO THE REP. PIGMAN: Date: AS TO THE COC Date: Witness Signature Terry Burroughs, President Printed Name: Address: Robert Lee, Secretary Page 4 of 4 F ., IM Exhibit 9 City of Okeechobee Jan 15, 2013 2013 Legislative Issues *Funding for City Stormwater Retrofit - $250,000. (See enclosure) *Funding for City Park of Commerce - $200,000. (See enclosure) *Funding for the Okeechobee Battlefield Historic State Park The City requests that consideration be given for continual funding for this much needed project. Not only is the Park a valuable historical piece it also provides for a tourist site for our area. Property Tax Reform The City requests no new/additional limitations/exemptions. Several legislative and constitutional property tax initiatives have been enacted over the past five years that have reduced the effectiveness of home rule authority and local government's ability to fund necessary operations particularly in the face of a substantial reduction in taxable assessed value. No additional property tax restrictions should be placed on local governments until the full impact of existing limitations is known. Local Business Taxes The City requests that our legislators retain the current Florida Statutes allowing counties and municipalities the authority to levy local business taxes subject to certain conditions_ These local business taxes are currently used by local government to provide resources for a variety of services, including public safety and economic development. In connection with the Business Tax receipt (BTR) the City performs a number of inspections including health and safety review. The BTR provides a registry of business activity that can be monitored for appropriate zoning, land use and Code compliance. A number of legislative initiatives were brought forward during the last legislative session that restricted and/or would have repealed the authority of local governments to levy the local business tax; negatively impacting resources for providing services and future bonding needs. No legislation should be enacted that eliminates or further restricts the use of the local business tax. The City of Okeechobee revenue loss is estimated at $70,000+. Pension Reform The City of Okeechobee pension plan is solvent and absent some of the extravagant benefits found in other plans, we request the State not apply a one size fits all or propose reform that in the end is an unfunded mandate. Reform of state and local government pension plans has received substantial attention in Florida. Much of the discussion focuses on funding levels and actuarial assumptions. Pension plans should be manageable in the short term and sustainable in the long term. We don't want unfunded mandates that jurisdict that local government should emulate the States pension plan. The City of Okeechobee's plan does not compare to some of those dramatic stories that gather all the limelight. Note: last year cutting benefits (300 hour limitation on final pensionable earnings..i.e. leave accumulations) Legislation aimed at reforming pension plans for local government should: - Ensure that any legislation be made on a prospective basis that provides for existing employees to receive benefits consistent with those promises already made. Provide flexibility that allows local governments to respond in a manner that recognizes the unique issues faced by each local plan and community. Avoid or eliminate inconsistencies in state statutes that simultaneously mandate the provision of new benefits and compel local governments to reduce pension costs. Page 1 r N City of Okeechobee - 2013 Legislative Issues Communications Services Tax (CST) The City requests that a solution to declining and inequitable Communication Service Tax be considered. Legislative and technological changes which have occurred over the past few years have resulted in an erosion of CST revenues to the state and local governments, diminishing the reliability of the revenue stream for operating and future bonding needs. These changes have also resulted in like services being taxed differently depending on the service provider or method of sale, causing the very discrimination the Communications Services Tax Simplification law was intended to prevent. The City of Okeechobee rec'd $362,000 in 2008 and $279,000 in 2012...a 23% reduction. in light of the fact that any changes to the CST revenue stream not carefully conceived could cause serious financial harm to local government, legislation aimed at reforming the Communications Services Tax should: • Be developed through consensus by a working group comprised of local governments, the communications industry and the state • Allow the CST to remain a locally -controlled revenue stream • Be carefully crafted to stabilize the currently diminished local government share of CST revenues and augment revenues by eliminating certain loopholes that have been realized • Remove competitive advantages by providing similar tax treatment to similar services, no matter the technology utilized nor method of delivery • Provide transparency, such that the tax can easily be recalculated by the customer and audited by DOR Sales Tax on Internet Transaction The City requests that consideration be given to any legislation that rectifies tax free internet sales transactions. Internet -based businesses currently have a competitive advantage over our local and In- state businesses, since sales tax is usually not collected on internet transactions, resulting in billions of dollars in lost revenue as well as lost opportunities for economic growth. Legislation should be enacted, and the Department of Revenue should adopt rules and regulations consistent with the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement. (Revenue loss to City of Okeechobee is uncertain, but $100-200 million in local tax loss,1.24 billion at State level) Allowing Price in the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act The City requests that it be allowed to consider price in the equation of determining award of a contract to certain professional services. Current law prohibits local governments from requesting price proposals before selecting a provider for certain services, including architectural, engineering, landscape architectural, mapping and surveying services, which has resulted in higher prices. Legislation should be enacted that permits price to be considered in the selection of these services. Public Personnel Records The City takes pride in transparency but personnel records should be given special consideration and legislation should be expanded to include confidentiality to all of its employees. The exemption for disclosing personal information for public safety officers, judges, and a few other positions should be extended to all public employees. Current law should be amended to provide privacy protection to all public employees rather than to only a few classifications of employees. Page 2 9 �R City of Okeechobee - 2013 Legislative issues Public Meetings Again, in keeping with transparency, the City provides for adequate public input and we would request that any modification to public input at meetings not be simply given a one size fits all piece of legislation. This Bill was defeated last year and again, this appears to be a matter better suited for local jurisdiction, not a State mandate. it is duplicative in as much as the State already regulates when items are public hearing matters. Elections The City agrees with expansion of voter opportunity including early voting as provided for and determined by the local Supervisor of Elections who will consider local factors in his/her decision making including logistics and cost effectiveness. Law Enforcement Related issues: Position Statement: Truth -in Sentencing: The City supports the current "Truth -in -Sentencing" Law that requires convicted criminals to serve a minimum of 85% of their court -imposed sentence. The citizens of Florida are currently experiencing the lowest crime rate in 41 years. The `Truth -in -Sentencing" Law implemented in 1995 has been an essential tool in our efforts to reduce crime and improve Public Safety in our communities. The City supports inmate re-entry programs during the incarcerated period that provides substance - abuse treatment, mental health treatment, vocational and educational training and life skills education that will prepare the inmate to become a productive citizen upon their release from incarceration. Distracted Driving (texting): The City supports the FPCA position and encourages revisions to F.S.S. 316.1925 (careless driving) to define and prohibit or restrict the use of wireless communication devices and other activities that distract drivers while operating a motor vehicle. Training Center Trust Fund Dollars: The City supports the FPC4 position to maintain adequate funding for law enforcement training. FPCA supports FDLE's efforts to maintain current funding levels and to assist in working to restore the trust funds. Synthetic Drugs: The City supports legislation that will improve banning synthetic drugs. Synthetic drugs are still a concern throughout the State. Manufacturers are finding ways to circumvent the laws by modifying banned compounds. FPCA supports and encourages legislation that will eliminate this loophole and will ban these dangerous substances Page 3 on r N City of Okeechobee 2013 Legislative Project Support & Assistance Request City of Okeechobee Storm Water Retrofit =Pro ect°Descr ti • The City of Okeechobee works in conjunction with FDEP and SFWMD Water Quality requirements and this funding as an appropriation, grants or other special funding will allow the City to complete this phase of Storm -Water Retrofit within the City, we solicit your support of the City of Okeechobee's efforts to support of FDEP and SFWMD storm water efforts along the northern rim of take Okeechobee by providing for swale, conveyance and inlet improvements to reduce the nutrients and volume of runoff entering Taylor Creek and Lake Okeechobee. -Pro ect-Co __. ....._._..-., _... _._..._. _._ ........_.._......_........ __ $250,000 Re uestec - _ _-:_-=== City of Okeechobee 55 SE Third Avenue Okeechobee Florida 863.763.3372 - __ .:--.:.:_:._.._�_. 5uppbrtliig-5iate and local5tatistical�_ri_forrnationas itirelates toCha _ter216:OS21° - senr�ce:deiive-= Protection of waters of the State, Northern Everglades Protection Act, via pre -storm water treatment.

Budget summary. $560k-housing rehab; $105k admin; $35k occupant relocations. • Legislative delegation — Items are reiterated, essentially, on the Agenda exhibit. • Glades Gas/FL Public Utilities Assignment of Lease — Last meeting the City passed a Resolution that approved the request of Glades Gas for an assignment of the 1977 lease of alley to FPU. Apparently, FPU wouldn't accept the assignment as written and the document has been redone and placed on the Agenda. • Rep Cary Pigman proposed office in the Chamber Bldg — We've added to the Agenda a proposition for the Chamber to allow Rep Pigman/staff to have a full time office in the Chamber building ... see enclosed exhibit. • Charles Composites & Commerce Park — you've heard of a proposed business considering the Okeechobee Olde Tyme Const facility and the County's consideration to extend a tangible personal property tax abatement. I've attached an article from the Jan 4th Okee News that briefly describes the matter. I was asked by the company's consultant if the City would be interested in adopting a similar abatement instrument and answered the matter: Stephen - Thanks for the inquiry. While I'm not at liberty to unilaterally make that decision, of course, I think the City Council would entertain any economic inducement that would inevitably pay dividends for the community. As an example, the City was able to secure a number of funding sources to make the appropriate infrastructure improvements to the Park, which led the way to selling parcels at substantially reduced prices and the City recently initiated and led the way to remove impact fees. Having said that, as you known, the City didn't coordinate with the County on the property tax exemption at the time because, right or wrong, I think the initiative was geared toward a concern that wasn't located in the City and apparently it simply wasn't thought of for any other venture or for that matter, the Park. While I think the voter mentality environment may be different now than then, I still think/hope voters have enough forethought to understand the underlying benefit. Unfortunately, you know the process involved would necessitate a referendum and subsequent ordinance adoption by the City and the timeliness isn't the best in as much as the tax abatement latitude is restricted to new improvements or in the case of tangible personal property, new equipment... the tax abatement underlying concept being a company wouldn't make the investment without the incentive. Page 1 IWAW ..� 1115113 Activity Rpt- (Cont'd Chas. Composites response) With that information, I'm not sure as to the applicability of the City developing this strategy as it relates to this development. However, as a longer term strategy and in the event of future development it could assist the City's competitive advantage. If you would, give me a call at your convenience to discuss the issue fiirther. As I've mentioned, we sincerely appreciate your interest. • Dates to remember: 6th Annual Health and Safety Exp at the Agri-Ctr, 1/26/13 9am-2pm (enclosed flyer) - Legislative Delegation, 1/28/12 at 1Oam — 11:30am w/ Senator Denise Grimsley and Rep Cary Pigman - Okeechobee Legislative Lunch — IRSC Williamson Ctr 1/28/13 11:30pm-12:30pm (RSVP to Tara by 1/23/13 (enclosed flyer) - SR 710 project public hearing at KOA, 1/30/13 6:OOPM • Main Street Beautification grant (landscaping) — Have not heard any new info on this matter.

There will be additional workshops and public hearings to process these. aw When the City Council changed the title years ago from Finance Director to Accounts Supervisor several documents were required to be amended. I've tried to find what documents specifically name the "Accounts Supervisor," as this may require changes again due to the title changing back to Finance Director. So far I've found: -Code Book Section 2-231 Procedure for payment by check. This will require adopting an ordinance to amend this section. Bw Changes to agreements, letters of consent or licenses between the City and various property owners for use of Streets/Alley and culverts within easements. Office Staff continues to maintain insurance requirements for the Street/Alley Use Agreements. Several have outdated insurance certificates, which is a requirement of the majority of these. Newer insurance companies are not wanting to cover City -owned property and owners are having to either purchase separate policies or move their fences and/or sheds then void the agreements. Older agreements were not recorded and new owners are not always aware of the agreement therefore new agreements are being entered into, these are recorded so they follow the land and this will not be a continual process, except for the insurance requirements. Several are in foreclosure and the banks wont extend the additional coverage, we're working with Attorney Cook to attempt to resolve these issues. ow Election Code pending changes: the 90 day minimum requirement to hold a Special Election has been researched. Prior to 2002 the minimum requirement was 30 days, and had been since as far back as I could find. The City had to adopt several modifications to the Election Code in 2002 due to State Election Law changes, causing the change from 30 to 90 days in order to meet State Laws. Mrs. Chandler researched whether 90 days could be modified in any way and still meet the State requirements, and she could not find anything. She did note that her office would not be able to conduct a Special Election for a City run-off for at least 3 months after the General Election, due to all the reporting and auditing that is now required by State Law. Once the new Supervisor has had a chance to get settled in her new position she and I will be meeting to discuss this matter.

Page 3 of 3 0 January 4, 2013 To: Brian Whitehall, Administrator From: India Riedel, Finance Re: Activity Report, January 2013 Business Tax Receipts Out of the 1170 Renewal Notices which were sent out in July, 933 have paid as of 12/21/12. 234 remain unpaid. Since our FY started (10/1) we have been notified of 3 businesses closing as compared to 9 closing by this time last year, (57 total for last FY). We have issued 20 new BTR's from the start of our FY as well. Community Involvement and Promotion: The Tree lighting ceremony was a success. Everyone including the Mayor thought the attendance was up slightly from last year. (it seems to grow each year). Santa in the Park was a huge success as well. A big thanks to our local Home Depot for working with us to provide the building for `Santa's house'. Budget & Finances Year to Date receipted Ad Valorem Revenue is at 63.18% of budgeted amounts. This is down from last year of 68.69%. One of the key factors is the decrease in taxable values of 5.6% at the time of TRIM. The settling of the Sprint/Century Link lawsuit (albeit the county has the majority of property) will affect our receipt of delinquent paid taxes. So with the influx of the City portion of settlement with the reduced amount for current year ($90,000 less $40,577) brings the net effect to $49,423. One Cent sales tax revenues have been receipted as budgeted (an increase over last yr); however the Half Cent is up but slightly less than budgeted. In conclusion, apart from the ad valorem fluctuation, we are tracking within our budget. Gas Tax Revenues are down approx 9%. This must be attributed to usage.

NOW Grants and proiects from a Financial perspective: Application has been made for the annual JAG2013 grant for ballistic vests for the Police Dept. for $2,202 CDBG H08 - Housing Rehabilitation Grant continues, Contractors are submitting bills as work is completed and being paid timely. Reimbursements of funds are being made as well. Turn Lane—(Applebees) Engineering cost but no construction cost have been disbursed. Payroll The `fiscal cliff deal on income tax will probably not affect our employees unless they're making more than the $400,000. However, one tax increase that was not avoided by `the cliff was the Social Security Tax for employees which will revert back to the 6.2% of payroll in lieu of the 4.2% deducted the last two years, hence a decrease in their take home pay. This will be implemented the first pay period of the new year, January 10`h. Insurance We have received our application for completion and review for the next fiscal year with PRM for our property and casualty insurance. We will be completing same, which gives PRM/WRM ample time to review the market and pricing. With the `Sandy" disaster and others, I am not sure what the property market may bring. Will keep you posted as information is available. We do have one employee out of work based on a severe leg injury. Arthur J. Gallaher & Assoc., as well as the City of course, are staying in touch with the employee to make sure all his needs are being met. We do not have an anticipated return to work date, however they have specific target dates they have projected and are working towards. 2012 FY Audit: Carr, Riggs & Assoc. were here for the initial walkthrough on procedures/policy in October. The lead auditor will be completing the field work the week of January 28th. Pension Auditor has already been provided and completed his field work and the Pension Actuary has all information as well. SBA & Banking As SBA continues to release monies from freeze, those monies are transferred to the respective fund local bank accounts. As indicated at fiscal year end, monies within SBA which were frozen have actually increased from the initial statement of losses. We have still not been made whole, however much closer than we were.

The plan shows an estimated surplus of $2,870,750 for the above period after taking into account the liabilities of the Fund including the IBNR Claims Reserve. As shown in Form OIR- 132-574, this increases the surplus to $14,521,783 as of the end of the year. The IBNR Claims Reserve was developed based on a claim lag study using the most recent 24 months of incurred and paid claim experience. For the months of August 2012 and September 2012, the level of incurred claims was developed using an estimate of PMPM claims as opposed to utilizing the calculated completion factors. See the following exhibits which have been attached to this report: Exhibit 1: Claim triangle and enrollment by month Exhibit 1A: Exhibit that illustrates the development of the IBNR reserve by incurral month. Based on the accumulated surplus, it is our opinion that the Fund is actuarially sound at this time. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, Michael J.
