RE: City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan
Dear Michael:
The comprehensive plan for the City of Okeechobee (City) has
been found by the Department to be not in compliance, as defined
in Section 163 . 3184 (1) (b) , F.S. This letter shall serve to
advise you that, while negotiations between the Department and
the City will be ardently pursued, each party shall proceed as if
the matter at issue were going to be the subject of an
administrative hearing as scheduled to begin March 23 , 1992,
until such time as a Stipulated Settlement Agreement is executed
by both parties.
In addition, please note the importance of any settlement
agreement being executed no fewer than 30 days prior to the
scheduled administrative hearings date, as it is the Department's
policy to conclude negotiations with the local government within
30 days of the scheduled hearing date.
Should you have any questions or comments on this procedure,
please contact me at your convenience at (904) 488-0410.
Sincerely,
—."‘e,A44 :,44,

Assistant General Counsel
