City Clerk Gamiotea
DATE: October 30, 2013
SUBJECT: Correct Aug 20 & Sept 17 Minutes
am requesting that the City Council consider corrections to two sets of minutes previously
approved. The purpose for the corrections is to accurately reflect personnel changes for
the Public Works Department. The minutes reflect that both the Mechanic I and Mechanic
II positions would be deleted from the Salary Step Plan. However, that is incorrect. In
addition, I wanted to clarify that the Maintenance Foreman position would not be deleted
until Mr. Lamb retires.
Please see attached, corrected page 6 of 24 for the August 20, 2013 Regular Meeting and
Budget Workshop, and Page 12 of 12 of the September 17, 2013 Regular Meeting and
Final Budget Hearing. Language struck through is to be deleted. Language underlined is
being added. Since these were approved by motion, a motion would be necessary to
amend them as well.
Thank you and please call me with any questions you may have.

V. MINUTES - City Clerk.
Ms. Jeanna Lanier was unable to attend the meeting. Clerk Gamiotea will present her 10-year longevity service award.
Mayor Pro-Tem Watford requested Major Peterson convey the Council's appreciation to Ms. Lanier for her service and
dedication to the City.
Mayor Pro-Tem Watford issued a proclamation for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month to Mrs. Sharon
Wallace, and read it in its entirety as follows: "Whereas, breast cancerclaims the life ofalmost40,000 U.S. women
a year; and Whereas, October2013 is National Breast CancerAwareness Month; and Whereas, National Breast
CancerAwareness Month is a platform foreducating women about the importance of early detection of breast
cancer through mammography and othermethods; and Whereas, detection of breast cancerat an earlystage
greatly improves the chances forsuccessful treatment and survival; and Whereas, breast cancer death rates
are declining probably due to improved detection and treatment; and Whereas detection and treatment of
breast cancer have improved thanks to research, such as that being done by the American Cancer Society,
Now, Therefore,1, James E. Kirk, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Okeechobee,
Florida, do hereby proclaim the month of October 2013 as'Breast CancerAwareness Month' and 1 commit this
observance to the people of our community."
Mrs. Wallace, who is a breast cancer survivor, thanked the Council for the proclamation, and explained about
"Operation Pink Fire Hydrant," recently established throughout the community. The idea is to raise awareness about
early detection. Her organization is teaming up with Hospice, Martha's House, and House of Hope to raise funds to
cover the costs of exams and mammograms for individuals in the community who do not have insurance or cannot
afford them.

A Revised Exhibit 1 was distributed prior to the start of the meeting. Administrator Whitehall requested to remove the
amount ($48,000) for the consideration. This was approved at the September 3r° meeting as a "Cost to Cure." Council
Member Maxwell led the discussion with concerns that it appears the final project being presented by FDOT is not as
it was initially presented. Additionally, based on the most recent version of FDOT's five-year work plan, the funds
budgeted for right-of-way acquisitions have increased, while the construction costs were decreased for this project.
It was suggested the City may not be receiving their fair share in lieu of losing a part of the parks, and initial design
items have been deleted or decreased. The issue with the Hamrick Trust reverter of title complexes the matter. Due
to the concerns raised by Council Member Maxwell, Council agreed delaying approval two weeks would be
in order to provide sufficient time for FDOT to respond to the questions and concerns.

American Physical Therapy Owner, Muhammad Nooruddin - City
Over the process of building the facility, Mr. Noorduddin has obtained a Use of Alley Agreement for the alley running
Administrator (Exhibit 4).
North to South in Block 15, between Lots 15 to 17, City of Okeechobee; parking reduction by 20 percent by City
Council on October 17, 2006, along with an Easement to the City for the South 10 feet of Lots 17 to 20 of Block 15,
to construct the sidewalk on private property, not in the right-of-way, and allow Mr. Nooruddin to pave parking spaces
along the right-of-way, North side of Northeast 12" Street (South of Block 15).
There are two buildings on the site, the one to the East has five empty units available for rent. When Mr. Nooruddin
obtained the items above, the Technical Review Committee (TRC) approved the project with the stipulation that the
five units to the East are not be used for medical offices, as the site would not be able to meet the parking
requirements. Mr. Nooruddin explained this has created a hardship and has prevented him from renting the space.
The majority of potential tenants have been for doctors offices due to the sites proximity to Raulerson Hospital,
Okeechobee Health Care Facility, and the Surgical Center. He requested, in an effort to lessen the hardship and allow
for potential tenants, creating approximately twelve jobs, that the City Council waive the TRC's non -medical use
requirement in three of the spaces of the East building. This is equal to approximately two parking spaces. He assured
the Council that the remaining two units will be used for business/professional offices.
Administrator Whitehall provided the following parking analysis: 43 parking spaces on -site, and seven off -site, that
cannot be counted (as they are on -street parking). Should all the units be used for medical offices except the two in
the East building, then 56 spaces are required, subtract 11 spaces (20 percent reduction already approved), equals
approximately 45 spaces. He reiterated, the City Council has the authority to over -ride the TRC action, allow the mixed
uses, and approve parking shortage.
Council Member Williams moved to approve the parking reduction of 1.727 spaces and allow medical uses
in three of the units in the East building, for the New American Physical Therapy facility, (as presented by Mr.
Nooruddin, at 1204 North Parrot Avenue, Lots 15 to 20 of Black 15, City of Okeechobee), seconded by Council
Member O'Connor.
Council and Staff briefly discussed that should there be an issue with illegal parking along the right-of-way,
contingencies would be addressed at that time.

11 Utility Agency/Owner (UAO): CITY OF OKEECHOBEE
THIS AGREEMENT, entered into this day of , year of , by and
between the STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, hereinafter
referred to as the "FDOT, and CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, hereinafter referred to as the "UAO";
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the UAO owns or desires to install certain utility facilities which are located
on the public road or publicly owned rail corridor identified below, hereinafter referred to as the
"Facilities" (said term shall be deemed to include utility facilities as the same may be relocated,
adjusted, or placed out of service); and
WHEREAS, the FDOT, is currently engaging in a project which involves constructing,
reconstructing, or otherwise changing a public road and other improvements located on a
public road or publicly owned rail corridor identified as SR 70 from NW/SW 4t" Ave to NE/SE
3fd Ave, State Road No.70, hereinafter referred to as the "Project"; and
WHEREAS, the Project requires the location (vertically and/or horizontally), protection,
relocation, installation, adjustment, or removal of the Facilities, or some combination thereof,
hereinafter referred to as "Utility Work"; and
WHEREAS, under the law of the State of Florida, the Utility Work must be performed at
the sole cost and expense of the UAO; and
WHEREAS, the FDOT and the UAO desire to enter into an agreement which
establishes the terms and conditions applicable to the Utility Work;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein, the FDOT and the UAO hereby agree as follows:
1. Performance of Utility Work
a. The UAO shall perform the Utility Work in accordance with the utility relocation
schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A and by this reference made a part hereof
(the Schedule) and the plans and specifications for the Utility Work which have
been previously approved by the FDOT (the Plans), said Plans being incorporated
herein and made a part hereof by this reference. If the Schedule and the Plans
have not been prepared as of the date of the execution of this Agreement, then the
Utility Work shall be performed in accordance with the Plans, and the Schedule
that are hereafter prepared in compliance with the notice previously sent to the
UAO which established the terms and conditions under which those documents
are to be prepared. The FDOT's approval of the Plans shall not be deemed to be
STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 710-010-55
UTILITY WORK AGREEMENT "T"IT
110104
(at UAO's Sole Expense) Page 2 of 9
engineering judgment and the UAO shall at all times remain responsible for any
errors or omissions in the Plans. The Utility Work shall include all Facilities located
on the Project and neither the failure of the UAO to include all of the Facilities in
the Schedule, nor the Plans, nor the failure of the FDOT to identify this omission
during its review of the Plans shall relieve the UAO of the obligation to make those
Facilities part of the Utility Work. Time shall be of the essence in complying with
the total time shown by the Schedule for the Utility Work as well as any and all
interim time frames specified therein. The Utility Work shall be performed in a
manner and using such methods so as to not cause a delay to the FDOT or its
contractors in the prosecution of the Project. The UAO shall be responsible for all
costs incurred as a result of any delay to the FDOT or its contractors caused by
errors or omissions in the Plans or the Schedule (including location of the Facilities
and the proper inclusion of all Facilities as part of the Utility Work as stated above);
failure to perform the Utility Work in accordance with the Plans and Schedule; or
failure of the UAO to comply with any other obligation under this Agreement or
under the law.
b. All Utility Work shall be performed by UAO's own forces or its contractor at the
UAO's sole cost and expense. The UAO shall be responsible for obtaining any
and all permits that may be necessary to perform the Utility Work. The FDOT's
Engineer (as that term is defined by the FDOT's Standard Specifications for Road
and Bridge Construction) has full authority over the Project and the UAO shall be
responsible for coordinating and cooperating with the FDOT's Engineer. In so
doing, the UAO shall make such adjustments and changes in the Plans and
Schedule as the FDOT's engineer shall determine are necessary for the
prosecution of the Project and shall stop work or modify work upon order of the
FDOT's engineer as determined by the FDOT's engineer to be necessary for
public health, safety or welfare. The UAO shall not be responsible for the cost of
delays caused by such adjustments or changes unless they are attributable to the
UAO pursuant to subparagraph 1 a.
c. After the FDOT has received a proper Schedule and Plans, the FDOT will issue a
notice to the UAO which authorizes the Utility Work to proceed. The UAO shall
notify the appropriate FDOT office in writing prior to beginning the Utility Work and
when the UAO stops, resumes, or completes the Utility Work. The Utility Work
shall be performed under the conditions of, and upon completion of the Utility
Work, the Facilities shall be deemed to be located on the public road or publicly
owned rail corridor under and pursuant to, the Utility Permit pending (Note: Intent
of this line is to allow either attachment of or separate reference to the permit).
2. Claims Against UAO
a. In the event the FDOT's contractor provides a notice of intent to make a claim
against the FDOT relating to the Utility Work, the FDOT will, in accordance with
the FDOT's procedure, notify the UAO of the notice of intent and the UAO will
thereafter keep and maintain daily field reports and all other records relating to the
intended claim.

(at UAO's Sole Expense) Page 3 of 9
b. In the event the FDOT's contractor makes any claim against the FDOT relating to
the Utility Work, the FDOT will notify the UAO of the claim and the UAO will
cooperate with the FDOT in analyzing and resolving the claim within a reasonable
time. Any resolution of any portion of the claim directly between the UAO and the
FDOT's contractor shall be in writing, shall be subject to written FDOT
concurrence and shall specify the extent to which it resolves the claim against the
FDOT.
3. Out of Service Facilities
No Facilities shall be left in place on FDOT's Right of Way after the Facilities are no
longer active (hereinafter Placed out of service/Deactivated) unless specifically
identified as such in the Plans. The following terms and conditions shall apply to
Facilities Placed out of service/Deactivated, but only to said Facilities Placed out of
service/Deactivated :
a. The UAO acknowledges its present and continuing ownership of and responsibility
for Facilities Placed out of service/Deactivated.
b. The FDOT agrees to allow the UAO to leave the Facilities within the right of way
subject to the continuing satisfactory performance of the conditions of this
Agreement by the UAO. In the event of a breach of this Agreement by the UAO,
the Facilities shall be removed upon demand from the FDOT in accordance with
the provisions of subparagraph 3. e. below.
c. The UAO shall take such steps to secure the Facilities and otherwise make the
Facilities safe in accordance with any and all applicable local, state or federal laws
and regulations and in accordance with the legal duty of the UAO to use due care
in its dealings with others. The UAO shall be solely responsible for gathering all
information necessary to meet these obligations.
d. The UAO shall keep and preserve all records relating to the Facilities, including,
but not limited to, records of the location, nature of, and steps taken to safely
secure the Facilities and shall promptly respond to information requests
concerning the Facilities that are Placed out of service/Deactivated of the FDOT or
other permittees using or seeking use of the right of way.
e. The UAO shall remove the Facilities upon 30 days prior written request of the
FDOT in the event that the FDOT determines that removal is necessary for FDOT
use of the right of way or in the event that the FDOT determines that use of the
right of way is needed for other active utilities that cannot be otherwise
accommodated in the right of way. In the event that the Facilities that are Placed
out of Service/Deactivated would not have qualified for reimbursement under this
Agreement, removal shall be at the sole cost and expense of the UAO and without
any right of the UAO to object or make any claim of any nature whatsoever with
regard thereto. In the event that the Facilities that are Placed out of
STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 710-010-55
UTILITY WORK AGREEMENT UTILITIES
0/04
(at UAO's Sole Expense) Page 4of9
Service/Deactivated would have qualified for reimbursement only under Section
337.403 (1)(a), Florida Statutes, removal shall be at the sole cost and expense of
the UAO and without any right of the UAO to object or make any claim of any
nature whatsoever with regard thereto because such a removal would be
considered to be a separate future relocation not necessitated by the construction
of the project pursuant to which they were Placed out of service/Deactivated, and
would therefore not be eligible and approved for reimbursement by the Federal
Government. In the event that the Facilities that are Placed out of
service/Deactivated would have qualified for reimbursement for other reasons,
removal of the out of service Facilities shall be reimbursed by the FDOT as though
the Facilities had not been Placed out of service/Deactivated. Removal shall be
completed within the time specified in the FDOT's notice to remove. In the event
that the UAO fails to perform the removal properly within the specified time, the
FDOT may proceed to perform the removal at the UAO's expense pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 337.403 and 337.404, Florida Statutes.
f. Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph e. above, the UAO agrees that the
Facilities shall forever remain the legal and financial responsibility of the UAO.
The UAO shall reimburse the FDOT for any and all costs of any nature whatsoever
resulting from the presence of the Facilities within the right of way. Said costs
shall include, but shall not be limited to, charges or expenses which may result
from the future need to remove the Facilities or from the presence of any
hazardous substance or material in the Facilities or the discharge of hazardous
substances or materials from the Facilities. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
interpreted to require the UAO to indemnify the FDOT for the FDOT's own
negligence; however, it is the intent that all other costs and expenses of any nature
be the responsibility of the UAO.
4. Default
a. In the event that the UAO breaches any provision of this Agreement, then in
addition to any other remedies which are otherwise provided for in this Agreement,
the FDOT may exercise one or more of the following options, provided that at no
time shall the FDOT be entitled to receive double recovery of damages:
(1) Terminate this Agreement if the breach is material and has not been cured
within 60 days from written notice thereof from the FDOT.
(2) Pursue a claim for damages suffered by the FDOT.
(3) Suspend the issuance of further permits to the UAO for the placement of
Facilities on FDOT property if the breach is material and has not been cured
within 60 days from written notice thereof from the FDOT until such time as
the breach is cured.
(4) Pursue any other remedies legally available.
t
STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 710-010-55

(at UAO's Sole Expense) Page 5of9
(5) Perform any work with its own forces or through contractors and seek
repayment for the cost thereof under Section 337.403(3), Florida Statutes.
b. In the event that the FDOT breaches any provision of this Agreement, then in
addition to any other remedies which are otherwise provided for in the Agreement,
the UAO may exercise one or more of the following options:
(1) Terminate this Agreement if the breach is material and has not been cured
within 60 days from written notice thereof from the UAO.
(2) Pursue any other remedies legally available.
c. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either party from any obligations it
has pursuant to other agreements between the parties and from any statutory
obligations that either party may have with regard to the subject matter hereof.
5. Indemnification
FOR GOVERNMENT -OWNED UTILITIES:
To the extent provided by law, the UAO shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
FDOT and all of its officers, agents, and employees from any claim, loss, damage, cost,
charge, or expense arising out of any acts, action, error, neglect, or omission by the
UAO, its agents, employees, or contractors during the performance of the Agreement,
whether direct or indirect, and whether to any person or property to which FDOT or said
parties may be subject, except that neither the UAO, its agents, employees, or
contractors will be liable under this section for damages arising out of the injury or
damage to persons or property directly caused by or resulting from the negligence of
the FDOT or any of its officers, agents, or employees during the performance of this
Agreement.
When the FDOT receives a notice of claim for damages that may have been caused by
the UAO in the performance of services required under this Agreement, the FDOT will
immediately forward the claim to the UAO. The UAO and the FDOT will evaluate the
claim and report their findings to each other within fourteen (14) working days and will
jointly discuss options in defending the claim. After reviewing the claim, the FDOT will
determine whether to require the participation of the UAO in the defense of the claim or
to require the UAO to defend the FDOT in such claim as described in this section. The
FDOT's failure to notify the UAO of a claim shall not release the UAO from any of the
requirements of this section. The FDOT and the UAO will pay their own costs for the
evaluation, settlement negotiations, and trial, if any. However, if only one party
participates in the defense of the claim at trial, that party is responsible for all costs.
FOR NON -GOVERNMENT -OWNED UTILITIES;
The UAO shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the FDOT and all of its officers,
agents, and employees from any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, or expense arising
out of any acts, action, error, neglect, or omission by the UAO, its agents, employees,
STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 710-010.55
UTILITY WORK AGREEMENT UTILITIES
10/04
(at UAO's Sole Expense) Page 6of9
or contractors during the performance of the Agreement, whether direct or indirect, and
whether to any person or property to which FDOT or said parties may be subject,
except that neither the UAO, its agents, employees, or contractors will be liable under
this section for damages arising out of the injury or damage to persons or property
directly caused by or resulting from the negligence of the FDOT or any of its officers,
agents, or employees during the performance of this Agreement.
The UAO's obligation to indemnify, defend, and pay for the defense or at the FDOT's
option, to participate and associate with the FDOT in the defense and trial of any
damage claim or suit and any related settlement negotiations, shall arise within fourteen
(14) days of receipt by the UAO of the FDOT's notice of claim for indemnification to the
UAO. The notice of claim for indemnification shall be served by certified mail. The
UAO's obligation to defend and indemnify within fourteen (14) days of such notice shall
not be excused because of the UAO's inability to evaluate liability or because the UAO
evaluates liability and determines the UAO is not liable or determines the FDOT is
solely negligent. Only a final adjudication or judgment finding the FDOT solely
negligent shall excuse performance of this provision by the UAO. The UAO shall pay
all costs and fees related to this obligation and its enforcement by the FDOT. The
FDOT's delay in notifying the UAO of a claim shall not release UAO of the above duty
to defend.
6. Force Majeure
Neither the UAO nor the FDOT shall be liable to the other for any failure to perform
under this Agreement to the extent such performance is prevented by an act of God,
war, riots, natural catastrophe, or other event beyond the control of the non -performing
party and which could not have been avoided or overcome by the exercise of due
diligence; provided that the party claiming the excuse from performance has (a)
promptly notified the other party of the occurrence and its estimate duration, (b)
promptly remedied or mitigated the effect of the occurrence to the extent possible, and
(c) resumed performance as soon as possible.
7. Miscellaneous
a. The Facilities shall at all times remain the property of and be properly protected
and maintained by the UAO in accordance with the then current Utility
Accommodation Manual and the current utility permit for the Facilities.
b.. Pursuant to Section 287.058, Florida Statutes, the FDOT may unilaterally cancel
this Agreement for refusal by the UAO to allow public access to all documents,
papers, letters, or other material subject to the provisions of Chapter 119, Florida
Statutes, and made or received by the UAO in conjunction with this Agreement.
c. This Agreement constitutes the complete and final expression of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
understandings, or negotiations with respect thereto, except that the parties
understand and agree that the FDOT has manuals and written policies and

procedures which shall be applicable at the time of the Project and the relocation
of the Facilities and except that the UAO and the FDOT may have entered into
joint agreements for Utility Work to be performed by FDOT's highway contractor.
To the extent that such a joint agreement exists, this Agreement shall not apply to
Facilities covered by the joint agreement. Copies of FDOT manuals, policies, and
procedures will be provided to the UAO upon request.
d. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any
provision hereof found to be unlawful or unenforceable shall be severable and
shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof.
e. Time is of the essence in the performance of all obligations under this Agreement.
All notices required pursuant to the terms hereof may be sent by first class United
States Mail, facsimile transmission, hand delivery, or express mail and shall be
deemed to have been received by the end of five business days from the proper
sending thereof unless proof of prior actual receipt is provided. The UAO shall
have a continuing obligation to notify each District of the FDOT of the appropriate

When the facility
was constructed the TRC determined that, due to the
designed parking constraints, the five units in the east building would have
to be devoted to professional office use (1 space required for each 300sq ft
of floor space) vs medical use (1 space required for each 180 sq ft of floor
space).
Muhammad and I have discussed the parking dilemma on numerous
occasions over the last several years and I'm now deferring the matter to the
City Council for review. As you can see on the attachment he is 1.728
spaces short in his proposed use.

Several months ago the City approved the rehabilitation of the Mary Massey project at 504 NW 17`" Street. As
the contractor began his work, it was discovered that the sewer line was backing up into the home and the home
was filled with mold. The City hired the firm of PB03 Environmental Testing Services and a mold inspection
was completed. Based on these results, the City instructed the contractor, McHaffey Construction Group, to
hire a mold remediation firm.
The following change orders have been temporarily approved by the City Administrator for the Mary Massey
project:
Change Order 41 — Run camera through sewer line to detect what is causing the raw sewage backup into the
.home. Cost - $1,000.00
Change Order #2 — Mold Issue Cost - $15,948.00
Hire Mold Remediation Firm who will perform the following:
Remove contaminated sheetrock 4 feet up from floor throughout entire home
HEPA vacuum inside all walls, floor, cavities
Antimicrobial disinfect all floors, wall cavities
Antimicrobial wipe down all walls, surfaces, content
Dry out all walls, floors, subfloor, wood stubs
Air scrub all indoor air to pass mold test
Guarantee passing of Mold Clearance Test
Drywall Replacement
Replacement of all Baseboards
(Please note that if additional work is authorized by the Building Official for the mold removal process, there
could be additional change orders.)
Change Order 43
Dig up and replace broken Sewer Pipes caused by tree roots
Replace Main Service Valve for Water Service to home
Replace Washing Machine Service Valve Box
Replace Rear Laundry Room Exterior Door Cost - $1,850.00
Change Order #4
Remove Existing Attic Fan and Repair Drywall
Installation of Rigid Insulation and Scabs Cost - $1,650.00
Change Order #5
Deductive change order due to reduction in cost of rigid
Insulation covered in Change Order #4 Cost — ($100.82)
Total cost for all four change orders for Mary Massey project is $20,347.18. There are enough CDBG funds
remaining to cover the cost of these change orders.
In the City's Housing Assistance Plan, it states: "Change orders up to Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($3,500.00) may be authorized by the CDBG program administrator and City Administrator. All change orders
exceeding this amount shall require the authorization of the City Council."
Therefore, I would like your final approval of these Change Orders for the Mary Massey project in the amount
of $20,347.18.
This is the last CDBG home to be completed. The City completed 12 homes with their CDBG grant. Thank
you very much for your support during the grant process.

441/70 intersection proiect — we've been advised by FDOT that March 26,
2014 is the bid letting date for the project.
Much to my chagrin, FDOT is requiring that the City adopt by Resolution
(on the Agenda) the Utility Agreement that they heretofore indicated could
be avoided. Atty Cook has reviewed and agrees it's a bit heavy handed
but is required.
You may have rec'd a complaint
about signage to the Lake at the
intersection and I've been advised by
FDOT that new green directional
signs (east & west bound) pointing to the Lake will be installed w/ the
project.
Building permit fees — Bldg Official Newell prepared a bit more concise
info on the effects of new rate implementation, using sample months as
indicated below:
Existing fees New fees Increased revenue
Jan 2013 $8655.54 $9959.14 $1303.60
Feb 2013 $4061.84 $5054.79 $ 992.95
Jun 2013 $2527.23 $3157.61 $ 630.38
Aug 2013 $2114.74 $2868.46 $ 753.72
Total annualized estimated increase in fees $11042.00
Expect a resolution to put the fees into effect on a future Agenda and I'm
attaching (3 pgs) another spreadsheet hereto which again compares the
current rates (amended in 2005) to proposed rates (which emulate the
County's)
CDBG Housing -grant — At the June 18t" mtg the Council allowed the
Administrator to temporarily approve change orders for the program and
thereafter bring back to the City Council for approval. Please find the
Agenda Exhibit 8/1/13 memo from Nancy Phillips summarizing the
change orders and requesting final approval of $20,347.18 for the M
Massey residence at 504 NW 17t" St.
New Flood Insurance Rate Maps — Attached (6 pages) is a narrative that
Bill Royce distributed to the county commissioners for their Thurs., 9/12/13
meeting describing the process along with a Notice of the FEMA public
meeting to be held Wed., 9/18/13 from 4:OOPM to 7:OOPM at the Health
Dept. I've added the Notice to the City's web site. I have a copy of the
new map at City Hall and the new designated area is basically along
Taylor Creek. Traditionally, of course, flood insurance premiums are
elevated within the hazard area and the City has an obligation to
eventually adopt new building rules applicable to that area... i.e. finished
floor elevation minimums (in this case must be 16' above sea level).

Adoption of ordinances to establish the millage (Ord 1104) and the budget
(Ord 1105) as discussed at the budget workshop is on the agenda.
Legislative Grant — Storm Water conveyance (canal) project — $250k grant
along with approx $25k match (public facilities fund). Contractor TSI
Disaster Recovery, St Cloud, has been working on finding the right
contract to piggyback with and have found a 'term' contract w/ Osceola
County that lasts thru 2015. They are contacting SFWMD to confirm
everything is okay and within the Osceola contract there are provisions for
engineering services so that the project is truly a 'turnkey' operation.
What I'd like to do is some comparison shopping on the engineering,
albeit their in-house engineers are extremely experienced at this type of
work. It appears as though our project is shaping up to the following,
which will serve more active docks/seawalls.
1870' South leg #1— originates at SE 10'h St ends at approx SE 151h St
$129,030.00
1375' West leg — west side of Taylor Creek, south of SE 71h St and east of SE 2nd
Av $81,125.00
3245' total $210,155 (based on 2 yr old previous quotes, not the
Osceola contract, of which I do not have yet)
SR 70 (Applebee's) turn lane project — A Notice of Award was sent to
Sunshine Land Design for the $211,865.07 project. We received the
$10,871.07 escrow project overrun as described in the Participating Party
Agreement. FDOT is analyzing Culpepper and Terpening requested
reduction change order for asphalt, which will give the City some
additional breathing room. We'll wait until the preconstruction meeting,
after Sunshine meets all the Agreement parameters to make a decision on
the reduction change order.
Legislative Delegations — October 4 from 3pm to 5pm. There's a
Resolution on the Agenda for your approval and I'm inviting you to add
any issues at the meeting... it's kind of an undone document at this time.
S. Parrott Av landscaping project (Main St grant) — The City approved a
September 25m, 2012, Resolution (#12-08) and passed the FDOT Agreement
and Memo of Maintenance at the 6118113 meeting (sent duplicates to FDOT
6126113 for approval). I've spoken to Michael Schulte, FDOT Dist 1 Landscape
Architect, and he clarified that the grant does include installation labor costs and
wrote off Atty Cook's (and mine) concerns as semantics. I also confirmed that
the City's ground maint reimbursement agreement w/ FDOT would be
unaffected. Maureen Burroughs, Main St, advised that she spoke to Mr.
Schulte, and as soon as next week a Notice to Proceed could be issued
by FDOT.
RFQ for a consulting engineer — Received ten proposals by the 8/23/13
deadline and an exhibit to the Agenda reflects the ranking and
recommendation that the Selection Committee prepared.
Proclamation -Breast Cancer Awareness Month is October — OUA
approved painting the hydrants pink as mentioned in my last report.

Huey installation in Vet's Park - In order to assure everything is moving
along for installation prior to Nov 11th Vet's Day, the Committee is to meet
at 2PM Thurs., 9/12/13. County reps have advised that the equipment has
to be put in the City's name (instead of the County, I guess) and we have
gathered up the forms which essentially the FL Dept of Management
Services (FMS) is advising we are "starting over" on the paperwork. Jim
Threewitts indicated that the FMS confirmation shouldn't be a hold up for
the county to move the Huey. I found that while the Legion and City had
previously agreed on the helicopter installation, the Grant of License agreement
has the Legion assuming all liability associated w/ the monuments in the park.
OUA 8/13/13 mtq minutes enclosed in packets.
Building Dept / General Services:
• Police Dept blddg windows - Ted Starr Construction, 648 NW 50th Dr.

• Fitness Center at former Rita Furniture location —. As you recall, at the June City
Council meeting, Steve Dobbs gained approval to utilize an alternate parking lot
plan for the project as a result of the 5116113 TRC recommendation. Originally,
according to the staff report, 40 spaces are required but there are only 10
available on site as presented by CRCO Properties (Dr Bartel). The matter is
scheduled to return to the September 19th TRC for further review.
• 'H' zoning consideration — The Planning Board / City Council Workshop was held
on 7118113 to discuss the 'H' zoning category and how it relates to the Land

Open House to Highlight Changes to Flood Risk and
Introduce Proposed New Flood Maps
If you live or do business in Okeechobee County, your flood risk may have changed. Citizens
will have an opportunity to look at and ask questions about the Preliminary Countywide Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) at the upcoming
public open house. These maps cover all of Okeechobee County, including the following
communities.
City of Okeechobee
Unincorporated Areas of Okeechobee County
The open house is an informal event, open to everyone. Attendees may arrive at any time
during the three-hour event and receive individualized attention.
Public Outreach Open House
Wednesday, September 18, 2013, 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Okeechobee County Health Department Auditorium
1728 NW 91h Avenue
Okeechobee, FL 34972
Attendees will see paper or digital versions of the preliminary flood maps. Information tables will
be set up around the room, where staff from FEMA, local communities and engineering
contractors will answer questions about flood insurance, engineering and development permit
requirements. Attendees can also pick up a variety of printed information.
Some important reasons to attend the open house include:
• See if your home or business is affected by changes in designations of high -risk special
flood hazard areas;
• Ask questions about how the map changes may affect your flood insurance premiums;
• Learn more about the engineering behind the new maps,
• Ask questions about permitting in the flood zone,
• Understand your flood risk better,
• Understand the map adoption process; and
• Get information about how to file an appeal if you have better technical data.
A few weeks after the open house, there will be a 90-day appeal and comment period. Once all
appeals and comments have been addressed, the community will have six months until the
maps become "effective." The communities will use this time to adopt the new flood maps into
their local ordinances.
Adopting the new flood maps means that federally backed flood insurance will continue to be
available to the residents of the community. Property owners will be able to purchase new
policies and existing flood policies may be renewed. It also means federal disaster assistance
may be provided to repair insurable buildings located within the Special Flood Hazard Area.
To learn more, contact the Okeechobee County Planning and Development Department, 1700
NW 91h Avenue, 863-763-5548.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE FOR REVIEW OF NEW PRELIMINARY FLOOD
INSURANCE RATE MAPS
MEETING: Regular Session September 12, 2013
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
N/A
REQUESTED ACTION:
Announce the Public Open House for review of new preliminary flood insurance rate maps.
BACKGROUND:
Okeechobee County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, a federal program
administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Participation in this
program allows local property owners to obtain flood insurance. A key component of the
National Flood Insurance Program are the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS) developed by
FEMA for each community in the program, initially prepared for Okeechobee in 1981. These
maps are what determines whether a specific property is in a flood zone.
FEMA has recently updated the Flood Insurance Rate Maps for Okeechobee County and
has released new, preliminary FIRMS. These preliminary FIRMS have been posted on the
County website, and the public will also be able to review the maps and discuss them at an
Open House. Representatives of FEMA, the Florida Division of Emergency Management,
the City of Okeechobee and Okeechobee County will be available at the Open House.
PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE
Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps
Wednesday, September 18, 2013
4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

To continue participating in the National Flood Insurance Program, Okeechobee County will
have to adopt the new maps. Shortly after the Open House, FEMA will begin a 90 day
appeal and comment period, after which the maps will be finalized pending resolution of any
appeals. Within six months after that process is completed, the County must adopt the
maps.

Flood Zones and Flood Insurance in Okeechobee County
The National Flood Insurance Program is a federal program that allows property owners to obtain
flood insurance for property in flood zones. The program is undergoing some major changes that
will affect Okeechobee County. The Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the County are being updated,
and Congress passed the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 that may lower flood insurance
premiums in some circumstances but that may also significantly increase flood insurance premiums
in other circumstances. Z
0
Below is a brief description of the National Flood Insurance Program in Okeechobee County, _
followed by discussions of the new Flood Insurance Rate Maps and the Flood Insurance Reform Act. 0
CL
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS)
Q.
In 1968, Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to help provide a means for g
property owners to financially protect themselves. The NFIP offers flood insurance to homeowners, °C
renters, and business owners if their community participates in the NFIP. Participating communities
rn
agree to adopt and enforce ordinances that meet or exceed FEMA requirements to reduce the risk
of flooding.
Okeechobee County joined the NFIP in 1981. Upon joining, a Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) were prepared for Okeechobee. The study, maps and other
regulations were adopted by ordinance by the County. The Flood Insurance Rate Maps identify
special flood hazard areas (SFHAs). Special flood hazard areas can be A Zones, B Zones or V
Zones. Land not in a special flood hazard area is in a C Zone.
A V Zone is a 100-year coastal floodplain that has additional hazards associated with storm waves.
There are no V Zones in Okeechobee.
A B Zone is an area subject to flooding during a 500 year storm event, or a .2% annual chance flood
event, meaning in any given year there is a .2% chance of land in a B Zone being flooded.
An A or A2 Zone is an area subject to flooding during a 100 year storm event, or a 1 % annual chance
flood event, meaning in any given year there is a 1 % chance of land in an A or A2 Zone being
flooded.
An A2 Zone is a numbered A Zone, which means FEMA has established a base flood elevation
(BFE) for that particular zone. In Okeechobee, there are some A2-17 Zones and some A2-18 Zones.
Those numbered A2 Zones are all south of State Road 70, mostly near the lake. An A2-17 Zone
means the base flood elevation has been determined to be at an elevation of 17 feet above sea level,
NGVD. That means the finished floor elevation (FFE) of any habitable structure must be at or above
an elevation of 17 feet above sea level, NGVD. Certain things associated with the habitable structure
must also be at or above the BFE, such as air conditioning units or ducts and pipes under the floor.
The requirement for things such as air conditioning units having to be above the BFE is fairly new.
Structures not intended for occupancy, such as sheds and detached garages, have not had to be at or
above the BFE, but we are seeing insurance companies sometimes requiring that now.
Flood Zones and Flood Insurance in Okeechobee County 1
Packet Pg. 110
4.4.c.a
Most special flood hazard areas in Okeechobee are unnumbered A Zones. That means those areas
have been identified as being special flood hazard areas but FEMA has not established the base flood
elevation. The Planning Department can determine the BFE for properties in unnumbered A Zones
upon request.
Participating in the NFIP enables people that own or rent property in special flood hazard areas to
be able to get flood insurance. Flood insurance rates for some properties in special flood hazard
areas have been subsidized in exchange for the local community's participation in the NFIP. That
means the community is obligated to enforce flood mitigation regulations, such as requiring new
development to have a finished floor elevation at or above the BFE, and requiring an Elevation
Certificate upon completion of the construction verifying that the finished floor is at or above the
BFE. As a participating community, Okeechobee County is audited periodically to make sure the
county continues to comply with the NFIP requirements.
Communitv Rating Svstem (CRS
Okeechobee County also participates- in the Community Rating System (CRS). That means
Okeechobee County does certain things and has adopted certain regulations that go above and
beyond the minimum requirements of the NFIP. The benefit to participating in the CRS is that it
results in a reduction of the premiums individual policy holders pay for flood insurance.
Communities in the CRS have a score of I to 10. Okeechobee County currently has a score of 8,
resulting in a 10% reduction in flood insurance premiums for flood insurance policies obtained
through the NFIP.
New Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for Okeechobee County
A few years ago, FEMA hired consulting engineers to update the Flood Insurance Rate Maps in our
area. We now have preliminary 2013 FIRMs. They are posted on the Okeechobee County website
in .pdf format.
To develop the new FIRMs, FEMA's engineers studied parts of Okeechobee County to determine
the potential for flooding, mostly near the lake and along the Kissimmee River, Taylor Creek and
Nubbin Slough. Some parts of the County were not studied and the FIRMs for those areas were not
changed.
There are some differences between the new 2013 preliminary FIRMs and the old 1981 FIRMs.
Some areas that were in special flood hazard areas in 1981 might not be in an SFHA in the new
FIRMs. It is also possible that the base flood elevation has changed for some areas that remain in
an A Zone. Alternatively, some areas that previously were not in SFHAs in 1981 might now be in
an SFHA in the 2013 preliminary FIRMs.
If property was removed from an SFHA, it is possible that flood insurance will no longer be required
by a mortgage holder, and that optional flood insurance may be obtainable at a cheaper rate.
If property was added to a SFHA, a mortgage holder may now require the property owner to get
flood insurance.

If the finished floor elevation is not known for a structure that is now in an A Zone, the property
owner may have to hire a surveyor to determine the FFE. The base flood elevation for that property
will also have to be determined, either by the new FIRM or by the Planning Department if the
property is in an unnumbered A Zone.
If the FFE for an existing principal structure is higher than the BFE for this newly designated
property, that's good for the property owner and flood insurance can be obtained as for other
properties located in SFHAs. If it turns out that the FFE is below the BFE, significant problems
could result. Premium for flood insurance may be extremely high. This ties into the Flood Insurance
Reform Act of 2012.
Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012
FEMA summarizes the legislation as follows: In 2012, the U.S. Congress passed the Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 2012 which calls on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
and other agencies, to make a number of changes to the way the NFIP is run. As the law is
implemented, some of these changes have already occurred, and others will be implemented in the
coming months. Key provisions of the legislation will require the NFIP to raise rates to reflect true
flood risk, make the program more financially stable, and change how Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) updates impact policyholders. The changes will mean premium rate increases for some — but
not all — policyholders over time.
Before the Flood Insurance Reform Act, if property was properly and legally developed, then some
time after construction the flood zone designation changed or the base flood elevation changed such
that a principal structure's finished floor elevation was now below the base flood elevation, the
structure was grandfathered in and could still obtain flood insurance at the same rate as for a
structure that was built at the proper minimum elevation. That grandfathering provision allowing
for subsidized flood insurance is being eliminated. If a structure currently is grandfathered, the
subsidized flood insurance rate will be phased out over a few years, and the insurance rate could get
very high if the structure cannot be elevated above the base flood elevation.
According to FEMA:
Not everyone will be affected immediately by the new law — only 20 percent ofNFIP policies
receive subsidies. Talk to your agent about how rate changes could affect your policy. Your
agent can help you understand if your policy is impacted by the changes.
• Owners of subsidized policies on non-primary/secondary residences in a Special
Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) will see 25 percent increase annually until rates reflect
true risk — began January 1, 2013.
• Owners of subsidized policies on property that has experienced severe or repeated
flooding will see 25 percent rate increase annually until rates reflect true risk —
beginning October 1, 2013.
• Owners of subsidized policies on business/non-residential properties in a Special
Flood Hazard Area will see 25 percent rate increase annually until rates reflect true
flood risk — beginning October 1, 2013.

Each property's risk is different. Some policyholders may reach their true risk rate after a
couple years of increases, while other policyholder increases may go beyond five years to get
to the full risk rate required by the new law. Rate tables on true risk will not be available
until June 2013.
Primary residences in SFHAs will be able to keep their subsidized rates unless or until:
• The property is sold;
• The policy lapses;
• You suffer severe, repeated, flood losses; or
• A new policy is purchased.
But primary residences in SFHAs in Okeechobee County will be affected sooner. Here is where the
new Flood Insurance Rate Maps for Okeechobee County and the Flood Insurance Reform Act
converge. According to FEMA, beginning in the latter half of 2014:
The Act phases -out grandfathered rates and moves to risk -based rates for most properties
when the community adopts a new Flood Insurance Rate Map. If you live in a community
that adopts a new, updated Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), grandfathered rates will be
phased out. This will happen gradually, with new rates increasing by 20% per year for five
years.
Okeechobee County will be required to adopt the new Flood Insurance Rate Maps early next year,
so any grandfathered rates throughout the County will be subject to the rate increases.
Much more information about the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 and the National Flood
Insurance Program in general is available on FEMA's website at:
www.fema.izov/national-flood-insurance-proy_ram.
OUen House For Review of New Flood Insurance Rate Maps for Okeechobee Coun
FEMA along with the Florida Division of Emergency Management, Okeechobee County and the
City of Okeechobee is hosting an Open House to learn more about the new Flood Insurance Rate
Maps that the County and City will be adopting next year and to learn more about the National Flood
Insurance Program in general. The Open House is:
Wednesday, September 18, 2013
4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Health Department Auditorium
1728 NW 9`h Avenue
Stations at the Open House will be set up so that property owners can view their property on the old
and new Flood Insurance Rate Maps to determine if they are or will be in a special flood hazard area.
Stations will also be available to learn more about flood insurance, to learn about the studies behind
the new flood maps, and to visit with the staff members of Okeechobee County and the City of
Okeechobee that manage and implement the National Flood Insurance Program locally.

I would like to suggest that a new look be taken at speed limits on streets in and around the city and
county. We are all aware that other than US441 and SR70, there are no thoroughfares in the city and
area around the city, even though several roadways are and must be utilized as such. Speed limits on
these streets range from 25 to 30 or 35 mph at a maximum. Residential maximums are as low as 20
mph. School zones are properly set at 15 mph.
These limits have been in effect for 80 to 90 years and were set as safe limits under conditions that
existed in the 1910s and 20s when vehicle brakes were primitive and most children spent much of their
time outdoors walking.to school and playing. Most of the play occurred in their immediate
neighborhood with their playmates. No organized sports'or playground facilities were normally
available so streets and lawns were used. Many streets were unpaved.
Modern vehicles are equipped with extremely effective braking, usually power, and are able to come to
a stop in far less distance than in early years. In addition, most children are seldom found outside
playing, particularly in or near the street; rather they are in the airconditioned house studying lessons
or a television, if not involved in team play at a sports facility. Pets are no longer allowed to roam
unconfined.
Historically, the best method of determining a safe speed limit has been to monitor all traffic on a
roadway, select the mode, which is the speed selected by most drivers — not the average, and choose
that as the safe speed limit, using the statistical assumption that a majority generally will arrive at the
most sensible decision.
Observation of local traffic as well as my own behavior strongly indicates to me that the mode will
typically exceed local limits unless special conditions are observed, such as people or animals present,
school zones, construction, etc. This traffic includes law officers, all of whom cannot be responding to
an emergency as they travel around town. I suggest that each of you pay close attention to your own
driving habits and I think you will notice you also fit in the group.
I strongly support enforcement of traffic laws, and also desire enforcement of traffic laws in addition to
speed, however 1 think we should reconsider what proper limits are correct. There will always be
violators, regardless of where the limit is set, but time is important to most people and I feel that many
limits can be raised without compromising safety, and may also have some effect on fuel consumption,
which can be negatively affected by slow speeds in many cases. I certainly do not advocate excessive
speeds, but I feel there is reason to examine our situation.
I have been told that speed limits are set by DOT, but if so, other towns and cities must use a different
DOT. I would appreciate consideration of this matter by the appropriate officials.
Sincerely
"h4&tr-
