He informed the Council he has heard nothing but praise from individuals. Dr. Platt questioned the clause regarding vaccination, noting it states pets are to be vaccinated within Sixty (60) days prior to licensing. This may cause some problems. President Douglas informed Dr. Platt this matter had been discussed at a Workshop. If pets are vaccinated prior to the Sixty (60) days, the owner needs only to present a record of vaccination to purchase tags at the City Clerk's office. Dr. Douglas called for any comments from citizens in the audience. Citizen Paul Mims spoke up in regards to the new Dog and Cat Ordinance, as to why it was enacted in the City. Councilman Raulerson stated because of the growth of the City and the increase in the animal population, it has become necessary for the City tb create and adopt such an ordinance. Mr. Mims felt the ordinance was unfair. He noted that Councilman Knight has cattle pastured within One Hundred (100) feet of Mr. Mims' residence and President Douglas has horses in his yard even though the City has a livestock ordinance. However, Mr. Mims realizes there is a problem and something needs to be done, but feels the new ordinance is too strict. President Douglas stated because of the problem, the City had to begin somewhere with some type of program. In time the City may find some of the provisions unnecessary. For now, though, this is a good beginning. 79-7~ COMMUNICATIONS FROM DEPARTMENT HEADS A. BUILDING OFFICIAL Building Official Spray presented the quarterly report for the Building Department. B. POLICE CHIEF 1. BOAT REGULATION Police Chief Mobley read a boat regulation regarding Steve Nelson's previous complaint. The regulation read as follows: RECKLESS OR NEGLIGENT OPERATION OF VESSEL It is unlawful to operate a vessel in a reckless manner.

TRANSFER OF BUDGET FUNDS Chief Tomey brought up again for discussion, the matter of taking funds budgeted to salaries and transfering them to the Fire Department General Fund. this will enable him to save expenditures on next year's budget. Chief Tomey informed the Council he had gotten the opinions of the City Attorney and the auditor from Ft. Pierce, on this matter. They saw no problem. The City Clerk has on file a letter from the auditor stating a fund transfer of this kind could be done at the descretion of the Council, by budget amendment. Chief Tomey requested a transfer of Thir- teen Thousand Three Hundred Fifty Dollars ($13,350.00). Chief Tomey presented itemized lists showing where these monies are to be spent. In regard to the cleaning and painting of the Station, Councilman Raulerson requested to see specifications from the painters bidding on the project before any decision be made. There is too great a discrepency in the bids. After discussion, Councilman Raulerson moved to amend the budget to transfer salary budgeted funds to the Fire Department General Fund in the amount of Thirteen Thousand Three Hundred Fifty Dollars ($13,350.00} to be used on the list of items submitted by the Fire Chief, with the under- standing that any items not received and paid for by October 1, 1979, will be deleted from khe lisk, and the Council withhold the items of cleaning and painting of the Station and the Incoder and Motorola pagers at this time, seconded by Councilman Chapman and vote carried.

The prices include delivery by Rock-a-Way. Director Fortner suggested the Council consider putting in fill dirt now, then shell at a later date. Director Fortner noted, to this date, he had only been able to get a bid from Rock-a-Way. Councilman Raulerson recommended, since the bid was so high, to rent additional trucks to be used along with the two City dump trucks and loader. The Council instructed Director Fortner to work out the cost, then resubmit at a latter date. 5. ACTIVITY REPORT Director For2ner presented the Water, Sewer and Street Department reports for the month of June, 1979. 79-14 6. CLEARWELL LEAKS President Douglas asked Director Fortner if all the leaks in the clear- 2481 well were taken care of. Director Fortner informed him they were not. The leaks occur sporadically. Councilman Raulerson inquired as to who was responsible for the leaks. Director Fortner stated it wa~ the contractor's responsibility. Engineers say the clearwell is Structurally sound, as to why it leaks no one has been able to d~termine. Councilman Raulerson felt the trouble was in the original pouring of the concrete, poured too slow. Director Fortner noted they tried to repair the leaks with a flexible bonding agent, but with minimal success. 79-9 7. HOSFITAL CORPORATION OF AMERICA Director Fortner informed the Council he now has the First Amendment to the Sewer Line Agreement, a Bill of Sale and an Easement from the Hospital Corporation of America, on their sewer line and lift station. The Agreement has been signed by the Hospital Corporation of America, all that is needed are the signatures of the City.

E. CITY CLERK 79-85 1. AUDIT ON MOTOR FUEL TAX Clerk Thomas informed the Council that from June 18 thru July 5, 1979, the City underwent an audit for motor fuel tax. This was the first audit of its kind pertaining to the City's motor fuel records completed by the State Department of Revenue. Results turned up ~efunds due to the Department of Revenue for dZesel used in one fire truck totaling One Hundred Thirteen and 23/100ths Dollars $$113.23) which includes penalties and interest, and an over-all refund on general fuel totaling Thirty-Eight and 70/100ths Dollars ($38.70) for the three years audited. When asked for suggestions regarding the City's record keeping system for motor fuel use, the tax e~aminer stated that without exception, the City of Okeechobee's records were the most complete, with all records readily available, that he had ever audited in his many years of service. The reason for the error concerning the diesel fuel in the one fire truck was due to being unaware of any requirements pertaining to diesel fuel, since there was no place indicated on the State's fuel report for this. Diesel requires a different application and report form which the auditor left with Director Fortner for completion and submitting to the State Revenue office. 2. DICTAPHONE Clerk Thomas presented a request to purchase a dictaphone from State Burchasing identical to the one purchased and used by the Police Department. If ordered by the end of July, 1979, the purchase price is Two Hundred Twenty-Two Dollars ($222.00). Councilman Raulerson moved to authorize the purchase of the dicta- phone in the amount of Two Hundred Twenty-Two Dollars ($222.00), seconded by Councilman Chapman and Vote carried. 3. OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING Clerk Thomas addressed the Council with two questions regarding oc- cupational licensing. On a peddlers license, since a peddler is transient, should they be charged the full amount or can they be sold a half-year's license. Check- ing the City Ordinance, there is a clause that States the City can sell a half year's license and it does not exclude any catagory. The second question pertains to presenting proof of qualifications before issuing occupational license. Specific case came up with a citizen wanting to purchase a license for psychologist. Clerk Thomas did not issue the license because the office was unable to reach Building Official Spray for approval. To prevent just anyone applying for aR obtaining certain occupational linceses, can the City Clerk's office require some sort of credentials or certificate of qualifications, before issuing license. It was brought to the attention Of the City Clerk that there is a clause in the Ordinance that requires proof for certain licenses, so it can be enforced. 79-68 4. COPY OF RESOLUTION - COUNTY vs. HUMANE SOCIETY Clerk Thomas presented copies of the Resolution between the County and the Humane Society, as requested by the Council at the last meeting. This will enable tham to read and study it prior to discussion at a la~er da%e. 79-26 5. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION Clerk Thomas presented the Planning Board recommendation on the re- zoning request of Dr. Hussain for Lots 21 and 22, Block 2, from Holding to RG-1. The Planning Board advises the City Council to reject this request, 2483 which is not in the best interest of the City in complying with it's comprehensive plan. 79-71 COMMUNICATIONS FROM COUNCILMEN A.
