79-77 BECKY MC GEE - ALLEYWAY
Citizen Becky McGee requested permission to use five (5) feet of the
alleyway located at 705 South East 10th Avenue.
President Douglas asked Director Fortner if the alley in question was
only a Ten (10) foot utility easement and not a dedicated alleyway. Director
Fortner stated it is classified an alleyway on the City map, it is just not
as wide. One end of the alley is fenced and the only utility in there is
Florida Power & Light Company.
Attorney Conlon advised giving permission by resolution to put a fence
across the easement with the understanding the fence be removed upon demand.
This in no way gives up the City's property or easement rights.
The Resolution to read as follows:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Okeechobee, Florida,
That: --~
Upon the request of (name) to install a chain link
fence on that portion of the City's easement and alleyway that abuts
her/his property known as (description) of Wright's Subdivision
located in the City of Okeechobee.
WHEREAS, (name) has appeared before the Council and ac-
knowledged that if granted the temporary right to install a chain link
fence upon said easement, she/he agrees that this in no way is an abandone-
ment or release of the City of any of it's real property interests in said
alleyway.
NOW therefore, the City Council grants temporary permission to
(name) to install and connect her/his chain link fence across
said easement and alleyway.
After brief discussion, Councilman Burk moved to accept both resolutions,
as stated by Attorney Conlon, to allow Becky McGee and Donald Bullard the use
of their easements respectively, seconded by Councilman Raulerson and vote
carried.
79-78 STEVE NELSON - SPEEDING BOATS IN CANALS
Citizen Steve Nelson appeared before the Council regarding speeding
boats in the canal through Okeechobee Estates. He presented a petition
signed by twenty-three (23) residents of Okeechobee Estates that want some-
thing done. The canal in question runs parallel with South East 8th Avenue. --~
Two youths in particular are speeding and destroying private property.
Attorney Conlon advised if a juvenile is destroying private property there
is a method of bringing this before the Division of Youth Services (the
authorities who regulate juveniles).
Attorney Conlon then advised the Council to pass an Ordinance to
regulate speed on all canals within the City. The problem would be in enforce-
ment since the City has no patrol boats. Councilmmn Burk asked who could
prove the speed when the case went to court. Without a police boat it would
be very difficult.
President Douglas asked Councilman Chapman to check with the Police
Department as to the procedure.
Citizen Nelson then a~ked to have the weeds sprayed and the growth re-
moved from the canals. President Douglas informed Mr. Nelson that Ray
Fuller, another citizen in the area, has been before the Council several
times in regard to this matter. The Council checked into the cost and was
quoted an amount between Twenty-five and Thirty Thousand Dollars ($25-30,000.00)
for cleaning out the canals. At that time the Council did not deem it neces-
sary to go to such expense.
2469
Director Fortner stated the man quoting the prices said the least ex-
pensive way to clean the canal would be to empty it, completely clean it
from one side to the other then let the water back in. Mr. Fuller said
the weeds had been sprayed in the past, but since they are limited to the
type of spray used it is not always effective.
The chemicals used to kill the weeds need Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) approval, noted Councilman Burk. Councilman Raulerson in-
formed Mr. Nelson the Council could not give permission for use of chemicals
in the canal without the approval of the EPA. The Council would have to
first submit an application with EP~A to find out what type of chemicals can
be used and what amounts can be used.
Councilman Burk reminded the Council that when previously researched
the Council learned that the citizens were paying slightly higher taxes,
not because of the canal but because of the paved roads there. If those
people were paying more taxes because of the waterfront lots ~and not just
the road, then we would be obligated to spend the other taxpayers' money
to help make their property more valuable.
Councilman Burk agreed with Mr. Nelson's suggestion of the home-
owners assuming the responsibility of the clean up, but does not feel the
City is obligated to clean the canal out.
President Douglas informed Mr. Nelson the Council will contact the
Fresh Water Fish and Game Co~m~ission and check into this matter.
79-68 HUMANE SOCIETY
Representative Jim Schirtzinger of the Animal Rescue Association and
Humane Society of Okeechobee was present. Mr. Schirtzinger noted this was
the third time a representative has been before the Council.
Upon a previous request of the Council, Mr. Schirtzinger presented the
Charter of the Society certifying they are now a legal corporation. Mr.
Schirtzinger informed the Council that County Attorney Van Landingham is to
read the legal agreement at the County Commissioners Meeting, June 28, 1979,
and are, he understands, to vote unanimous to accept the proposal.
The Humane Society has nine (9) Board of Directors. The officers are
as follows: Jim Schirtzinger, President and Founder; Betty Martin, President
Secretary; Wanda Schirtzinger, Corresponding Secretary; Joe Grimes, Execu-
tive Director; Hazel Light, Publicity Chairman; Richard Long, Treasure;
2470
Gene Roats, Finance Director.
Attorney Conlon suggested waiting until the County has adopted the
agreement, before the Council makes any decisions.

good as new ones.

is in the engineering phase now with hopes to start construction in June,
1980.
79-70 2 ) EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION
Director Fortner presented an application for employment of Albert H.
Reel at the Sewer Treatment Plant. Director Fortner noted that the Council
had approved, in February of this year, the hiring of a certified operator
for the Sewer Treatment Plant.
Councilman Burk asked Director Fortner if he had interviewed the ap-
plicant. Director Fortner informed the Council that he had and felt he was
very capable.
Councilman Burk moved to hire Albert Herbert Reel as waste water
operator at the annual salary of Nine Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($9,500.00)
seconded by Councilman Raulerson and vote carried.
3) CERTIFICATION OF EMPLOYEE
Director Fortner informed the Council that one of his employees, Forrest
D. Wyatt, had passed the Class "C" examination with the Department of Envir-
onmental Regulations. With this certification his salary increases Four
Hundred 'Sixteen Dollars ($416.00) per year.
Since there were no objections, Councilman Burk moved to increase the
salary of Forrest D. Wyatt in the amount of Four Hundred Sixteen Dollars
($416.00), seconded by Councilman Chapman and vote carried.
79-g0 f~) WATER LINE WEST OF DeBERRY GARDENS
As discussed in the meeting of June 21, 1979, Director Fortner presented
plans for a water line west of DeBerry Gardens, and asked for the Council's
decision, requiring fire hydrants or not.
Councilman Burk stated although it has not been the policy of the City
in the past to require fire hydrants, with the growth of the City the need
for such a requirement is increasing. Councilman Burk noted this is an
excellent opportunity to begin the procedure. He asked the Council to
consider this in their deliberation of this particular water line, to require
that the developer provide fire hydrants.
Attorney Conlon suggested the County pay the maintenance costs each
year. Since the County will receive this new growth, all the money spent
2472
building these houses and the taxes that are generated would pay this nominal
fire hydrant charge. If the City were to pass a resolution not to extend
water services to any subdivider beyond the corporate limits of the City of
maintenance charge
Okeechobee until such time as the County begins paying for the fire hydrant/
in the natural coarse of events developers would talk to County Commissioners
and the matter would get resolved.
Councilman Knight moved to instruct the City Attorney to draft a resolu-
tion stating the City will not extend water into the County without fire
maintenance charge
.hydrants and without County government paying for the hydrant/, seconded by
Councilman Burk and vote carried.
Director Fortner inquired if this pertains to future lines or sub-
divisions now being developed in which the City has already accepted water
1 ines on.
Attorney Conlon stated this would not pertain to water lines already
promised by the City. Councilman Burk asked Director Fortner to check with
the particular developer in question and see if he is interested in putting
in fire hydrants.
79-7# ~.. CITY ATTORNEY
1) STATUS OF HAMRICK-CITY PROPERTY
Attorney Conlon informed the Council regarding the Hamrick-City property
status, as of Friday, June 22, 1979, the title company had the information
almost complete.
2) WORDING OF ZONING ORDINANCE #402 AMENDMENT
In regards to the Amendment to Zoning Ordinance #402, Attorney Conlon
informed the Council that the City Clerk has a copy of the Ordinance changed
· ~ in accordance with Council's instructions, to change the minimum acreage re-
quirement for expansion of existing mobile home parks and subdivisions to
five (5).
In preparing the amendment, Attorney Conlon reviewed what has trans-
pired to this point and feels this issue has potential for court action in
the future.
Attorney Conlon delayed having the City Clerk advertise this because he
wanted to express his concern to the Council. Perhaps the Council has ar-
rived to this point of amending the Ordinance improperly. It appears that
when this issue went back to the Planning Board the second time there was no
2473
notice of Public Hearing. Because of this loop-hole a law suit could
prevail.
To protect the City, the Council should consider sending this back
to the Planning Board to advertise for Public Hearing and begin again.
Councilman Burk suggested, in view of the findings of the City
Attorney, the Council direct the issue back to the Planning Board. The
Council concurred.
3) VACATION
Attorney Conlon informed the Council he will be on vacation from the
morning of July 10, to July 22, 1979, so he will miss the July 10th Council

is in order, effective August 1, 1979.
