Davis everyone is aware we have three things going on, our northern residents are here, people are hurrying through the construction zone. Its not my dept intention to get into someone's pocket so close of Christmas time. 47 traffic citation, 34 since last Monday. Not all are speeding, some are seatbelt violations. We've put out the squad cars at the intersections moving around from time to time as just the presence can usually slow traffic down. Remember that when we run traffic concentration it means other areas are not being covered. Dowling appreciate chiefs efforts, asked if we can put a press release out of an officer with the radar and through our social media. Have everyone share it as well through their social media accounts. Just remind everyone to slow down. Clayton find some dummies to put in the dummy car, just don't give them the keys. Mayor it is getting really bad, know we don't have enough force to have one at every light, but working traffic every so often at the lights to attempt to catch the ones being reckless. Mike the fatality last Monday shows how much they are doing it. Mayor commend your force, you've never been one to write a lot of tickets and im proud of that.

O'Connor had my man hit walking across the street, the report read he didn't walk in the cross walk, there are only two one at the main intersection and the other at walmart. Denny what happened in that accident is DOT says the parking is a drive -able lane is there when no one is parked there. Mike is the contractor responsible to have temporary cross walks due to the construction, whose responsible for that? Devin its probably in the MOT and just being disregarded. It is a problem I tried to walk through the area the other day. Allen I can check the MOT and discuss the issue with DOT rep Janet Cook. Mike if another ticket saves another life write it.

I was really impressed, to learn you served as vice chair, struck with the respect the CFRPC showed him, he represented the city very well there, he's thought of well and we forgot about the other boards. Okeechobee isn't always looked at with respect and he represented us well. Mentor of mine because of his faith. Mike all on the planning board at the same time along with devin and terry. Noel and I on code enforcement board. Gary on the planning board and now on here, people serving on these citizen boards help to do a better job up here. Remember going to the meetings, impressed with okeechobee, Ray Domer was also on that board, a lot of memories at the meeting people remembered when dowling and I were on there. Clayton will be hard to forget, gave me Larry boots, from Vietnam. Good luck to both of you. Clayton appreciate being a part of this board that created the perfect sign ordinance. Mayor thank both of them for there service most of the time this job is easy sometimes its not, we are a city family, were going to miss you, were still going to be here, we all do everything for the betterment of the city. Fortunate to have a lot of good council members over the last 15 years. We are unique in how we do agree to disagree. Appreciate your service, certificate is well deserved. Gary Ritter, to both of these fellows, attended a lot of city council meetings with responsibilities of the water management district, say with sincerity you all will leave big shoes to fill. Both bring a lot to the table here and it will be missed. Noel and I are going to do our best. Devin always thinks outside the box, different ways to do things. Wisdom throughout the years, best one was to shower with a friend during droughts VIII.

This project emulated a similar sign structure as found in other surrounding communities. Our initial thought was to have the sign structure placed on the Chamber's property. Because of the current road widening project it is not feasible to no longer consider the Chamber property. However, the Leadership Team would like to submit a request to the City Council to construct the sign structure in the park adjacent to the City Hall. We would hope the City Council would grant our request to do so as this would be a great addition to our community. If you should require any additional information, Noel Stephens or I would be more than happy to appear at the next City Council meeting to present our proposal.

Pls see the attached project overview for further explanation. Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - Direct General Project Information Project Title: Subgrant Recipient: Implementing Agency: Project Start Date: Problem Identification 2014 OPD BODY CAMERA ACQUISITION PROJECT City of Okeechobee Okeechobee City Police Department 2/1/2015 End Date: 6/30/2015 Due to the recent current events surrounding police /citizen encounters that have resulted in the use of deadly force and due to the increased public interest in such encounters and due to the need of the law enforcement community on both a local and national level to be more transparent in their dealings with the citizens they serve, in order to regain and then to retain the public trust, it has become necessary to take such steps as are considered to be in the public's interest in order to provide that transparency in a very real and practical manner using modern technology, i.e. body cameras worn by individual police officers. Our agency currently does not have the means to equip all of our officers with such specialized technology /equipment at this time. We are in need of at least twenty -five body cameras in order to outfit all our uniformed road patrol officers and part -time and auxiliary personnel. WE HOPE to purchase at least nine body cameras with this grant award. Project Summary (Scope of Work) Through the use of the grant funds in the amount of $2,884.00 our agency hopes to make initial purchases of individual body video cameras and then issue these cameras to our officers for use in the field.

Presented on this 1i day of December, 2014 James E. Kirk, Mayor ATTEST: 0 Za/i e. Anne-Oki a Lane Gamiotea, CMC, City Clerk The Updates! from the City Administrator's Desk 55 SE 3rd Av., Okeechobee, FL 34974 City Council meeting of December 16, 2014 • Jan 5, 2015 at 2:OOpm — swearing at the newly elected City Councilmen. • Chamber Leadership 2014 project — Noel Stephen had a conflict arise for the last meeting and is now on this Agenda to present the project. The project is a sign that will hold all the civic organizations' signs (i.e. Kiwanis, Rotary, etc). I distributed a simple rendition of the sign in the last packet... subject to change. The discussion will be the potential location and design of the sign. The proposal contemplates the sign to be located in City Hall Park along SR 70 E. In addition, we would welcome any input you may have on the sign design. • Commerce park — Heard nothing favorable from and of the Council about discussing the concept of a realtor to market the Park. I met w/ Terry Burroughs again and he supplied me with literature from a meeting he attended in Chicago w/ the FL Research Coast Economic Coalition...the information is attached to this report. Bridget Waldau is designing a new promotional piece for the Park. As soon as we have that, I'll incorporate it into the web site as a link. • Resolution to add FL Leap legislative lobby issues added to our Agenda to add statewide support. • Impact fees — 1. At the 11/18/14 School Board meeting a Resolution was passed to not just suspend but to eliminate the impact fees 2. In Oct, the county placed a 60 -day moratorium on impact fees and on Dec 4 they voted to terminate the impact fee imposition all together. I'll be conversing with the County on the mechanics of impact fee reimbursement, but as of this date, I don't think the City will be involved at all in the process. The City took action in May to suspend collection of the impact fees for another year, through June 30, 2015. I suspect sometime prior to that date the City will contemplate terminating the program as it would require a new feasibility study to reinitiate it anyway. • Treasure Coast Regional Leag of Cities annual installation luncheon will be on January 21. Meeting begins at 10 am, luncheon starts at 11:30 as the PGA Country Club in St. Lucie West. If you're available, pls mark this on your calendar and more info to follow. • Parking lot downtown — As you are aware, the City continues to experience a bit of an overcrowded parking issue downtown. On the one hand, it's good to see the activity, but it's certainly creating a cumbersome issue. I'd like to investigate the acquisition of the empty 50 X 142.5 lot at the intersection of SW Park & SW e Av (where the Christmas trees were sold). I know it's not a solution to a bigger parking problem but it could be a piece to the puzzle and the lot now serves as nothing more than a cavity on our downtown store front area. Page 1 12/16/14 Activity Rpt Cont'd City Atty: • FDOT / Hamrick litigation — A mediation meeting is tentatively scheduled for December 19 at 10am, in Bartow. We have a pre- meeting Thurs, 12/11/14 at City Hall with Atty Cook and Atty Weaver. As part of the case, the City will be expecting compensation for at least the City Hall Park and the Police /Chamber parcel. Of course, we have the Hamrick ownership issue at hand also. In the last report, I mentioned that an appraisal was being done by the Hamricks and that appraisal, now concluded, reflects a value of $670,800 vs the DOT appraisal of $471,500. (Inc' SE 3rd Av to SW 4th Av) That included no improvements (land only)...which are to be contemplated in a cost -to -cure manner, I think. Amazingly, as late as Nov 18, 2014, the FDOT atty proposed an idea to compensate the City for what he called "cure the park" issues. He wasn't specific, but mentioned that FDOT recognizes the need to repair and replace items destroyed by the project that may lie outside of the project parameters. As you may recall, in August 2013 I rec'd confirmation that FDOT had agreed to compensate the City $48,052.51 for 'cost to cure' items that the City had previously agreed to. I'm assuming he has no knowledge of FDOT's prior commitments and construction plans. City Clerk: • Temp empl ad is attached. As budgeted, we need to hire part time staff to help w/ the Centennial stuff and give some aid to other Dept if necessary. • Centennial Celebration — Votinq Members: Magi Cable, Jeanne Enfinger Sharie Turgeon, John Williams Dawn Hoover, Vice Chair Advisory Members: Justin Domer Katrina Elsken Donna Gaiser Staff: Brian Whitehall, City Administrator David Allen, Public Works Director Lane Gamiotea, City Clerk J.D. Mixon, Chair Susan Giddings Antoinette Rodriguez • Christmas parade Sat., 12/13, 6:00 PM — line up at same location (former U -Save) • Christmas holiday City lunch— Dec 18th General Services / Planning Board: • Bldg official report for November is attached hereto. • LDR definition changes — attached is a memo from Bill Brisson proposing anumber of definition clarifications along with zoning classificat'n of taxidermy and pet grooming. Anticipate the Jan 5 PB meeting agenda and the Jan 20th City Council agenda for ordinance consideration. • Sonic — I had previously reported that Sonic had been approved for a Sp Exc for a drive through at the lot across from Wendy's. My understanding is that they are investigating alternate sites as this site has environmental concerns that they hadn't anticipated. Page 2 12/16/14 Activity Rpt Cont'd • Dunkin Donut, 205 NE Park — I'm developing a thick file on this development. The Bd of Adjustment approved a special exception to provide for a drive through. The Tech Review Comm (TRC) approved a site plan providing for 17 parking spaces which did not necessity any parking reduction as a portion of the building was represented to stay vacant in an effort to `fit' the facility on the parcel. They intended to come back to the TRC requesting a parking reduction at some point and are now in the process of preparing that application. We were told that they planned to open and use the parking history as part of their study to justify a reduction. They've had a change in direction and are now looking to the Jan TRC for recommendation. My concern is that they will be requesting a significant reduction (in the CBD, up to 80 %) and from a practical sense it will be difficult to oblige. • Historic preservation sample ord — The Sebring ordinance was sent to the Planning Board for review and probably action in January. • Gen Sev Coord Patty Burnette — back to work Friday, 12/12/14. Finance • Fye 9/30/14 Audit scheduled for week of Feb 16, 2015. Fire /Code Enforcement: • Ebola et.al. — as a result of the November training, Chief Smith distributed a dispatch protocol memo. • Nuisance house at NW 91h Av and 2 'd St — This is the yellow nuisance house on the corner. Staff has managed to secure all of the nec docs to remove the building, including the owner's permission to attach a lien to the parcel. We are coordinating the demolition. Public Works: • 441 median landscaping (Grant funded -Main St) — No reimbursement as of this date on the requested $96,493 FDOT grant. • GRANT - Canals - Legislative Grant $100k - Agreement w/ DEP — Executed the Grant Agreement for the water conveyance project. The City requested $450k but was only funded to the $100k. For the 2015 legislative requests, the City again requested $450k. In 2013 received and completed $250k in canal work. Because of the set up and staging costs for this project (last yr was —$30k) I'm hoping the City will secure additional funding (see below) before we start the contractor work. • GRANT — Canals — SFWMD grant — On 11/18/14 submitted a grant application for additional funding ($185k) to assist the City in completing the canal cleaning project. • GRANT APPROVED - Storm sewer at SW 2nd Av & 8th St — On Dec 4th the City was notified that funding will be made available for our Small County Outreach Program (SCOP — thru' the FDOT) application - $57,750. I had a brief discussion w/ FDOT about the grant administration. They are sending confirmation and project particulars. Page 3 12/16/14 Activity Rpt Cont'd (Public Wks cont'd) • GRANTS - Taylor Creek Park/Centennial Park grant applications — FL DEP — the City rec'd rejection letters from the FL DEP for both the TMDL and Sect'n 319 grants. On June 27th Culpepper & Terpening sent an application to DEP for a second grant, TMDL Water Quality Grant App for $367, 260 of which requires a 50% match ($183,630). As you might recall, we applied for a Section 319 in May. That grant calls for a $367k grant and a $147,052 (40 %) match. We have subsequently rec'd a call from DEP, re- reviewing our application and they will know within the next few weeks whether additional monies may be made available for reconsideration. Spoke to Culpeper & Terpening last week and they are to make contact w/ FDEP. • GRANTS - Taylor Creek Park/Centennial Park grant applications — FWC — submitted two grant application, in mid Nov, to the Fish & Wildlife Commission (long and short forms) for infrastructure improvements at the proposed park. • 2014 -15 Asphalt program — We are staying with the NW 9th & 9th project and anticipate a culvert replacement on NW 9th Av (s of the railroad) prior to starting the asphalt. Expect the culvert replacement during school Christmas vacation and the asphalt program to start immediately thereafter. • City median landscaping — Brad Goodbread confirmed they had some 180 +/- trees dedicated to our medians. The trees will be FREE but he wanted to cover his costs on installation. I spoke to him about a month ago (Not) and he confirmed they are ready. • 441/70 intersection project — There's a web link to the SR 70/441 project at http://co.okeechobee.fLus/ click link entitled `County Documents' on left side of home page. Scroll down to: State of Florida Department of Transportation Financial Project #425846 -52 -01 SR. 70 and Highway 441 Ranger construction has advised that they are looking at mid -April Completion, but I'm sure that's a moving target.

Indian River County • Martin County • Okeechobee County • St. Lucie County CareerSource Research Coast ber of Commerce OiEeecioIee Coun November 20, 2014 Okeechobee Board of County Commissioners The Florida Research Coast Economic Coalition (Martin, St Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee Counties) conducted a site selector visit to Chicago, Illinois on November 17 -19, 2014. This field trip was the result of feedback coming from a target industry study that was conducted in July of this year which revealed our four counties were not on the radar screen in the site selector community. We hired Applied Marketing to develop a number of appointments (see attached list) with prominent site selector companies in the Chicago area. Over the two day period we met with each appointment, described the assets of our region and the component assets of each of our communities and provided market information (see attached) for their review. During our visits we gather the following insights: Available Buildings: This seemed to be a major theme across the board with each company. If you had available buildings in your area this was a plus. Even from the standpoint that buildings for lease versus that of sale seemed to be more preferable in some cases with their clients. Business Friendly Local Governments: Each person we met with asked the same question, is your local government easy to work with (planning, permitting, etc.). Time is money and wasted time on government bureaucracy is an important factor when relocating to a new community. Incentives: Incentives were important. Tax abatements, state incentives for training and other related issues are especially important when working with a manufacturing relocation opportunity. Workforce: Is available workforce available and do you have the facilities to train the workforce (interfaces with IRSC, South Florida Manufacturers Association, etc.). This is resounding problem throughout our country. An available and trainable workforce is an absolute plus in securing companies to your community. Taxes: Across the board, personal property, corporate income, impact fees and tangible taxes were important aspects in the decision making process. Florida's governor was also noted as being very business friendly and has been a very important asset to the site selectors when seeking areas for re- location. Other areas of importance were available land, water management regulations, and quality of life. The follow -up to our visit will be to provide a slide presentation of our respective region and the individual components to each of the appointments for distribution to their client base.

F. Brisson [bill @larueplanning.com] Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2014 4:19 PM To: 'Brian Whitehall' Cc: 'Patty Burnette'; 'Jackie Dunham'; 'Robin Brock' Subject: List of proposed definition changes /additons to LDRs Attachments: New definitions for Okee LDRs.docx Brian, Please see the attached file containing the proposed changes to the definitions section of the LDRs. The document contains the definitions that were in included in my earlier memo (4/16/13) as well as a few newer ones that have cropped up recently. If you think that handling all of these may be too much for the January 5th LPA and January 20th City Council meetings, I have highlighted the ones that I feel should have the greatest priority. These are the definitions of uses and terms that are associated with recent interest among property owners. I am also preparing changes to the CLT and CHV District regulations to allow a Taxidermist as a Special Exception Use in the CLT District and as a permitted use in the CHV District. If we include the definition of Pet grooming for the LPA meeting in January, I suggest we include allowing that use as a permitted use in the CLT and CHV district, but also include supplementary regulations prohibiting boarding and requiring the animals to be kept indoors at all times. Please look review the definitions and give me your input on them and your thoughts on which definitions and regulations to take to the LPA in January. I will then finish preparing the materials Lane needs by December 15th per her e-mail of November 24th. Thanks, 13111 Planning & M narrncnt Scrvicc, Jac. W.I. F. Uads.oa.

Residents typically stay for one to six months. Auction house (indoor) means an establishment where objects of art, furniture, and other goods are offered for sale to persons who bid on the object in competition with each other. This definition does not include outdoor or open -air auctions where vehicles, farm and construction equipment and the like are auctioned. Convenience store means a retail establishment offering for sale prepackaged food products, beverages, household items, newspapers and magazines, sandwiches and other freshly prepared foods for consumption off the premises. Convenience store with fuel pumps means a convenience store providing gasoline and /or diesel fuel pumps for the fueling of automotive vehicles, and which may also stock within the principal structure and offer for sale prepackaged motor oil and other small prepackaged automotive- related accessories. Group home means a building designed or used as permanent or temporary living quarters for six or more unrelated persons in which individual cooking facilities are not provided. Included in such designation, but not limited to, are such facilities as residential facilities and comprehensive transitional education programs under F.S. ch. 393; domestic violence centers under F.S. ch. 415; community residential homes in excess of six persons under F.S. ch. 419; and such similar facilities as authorized by law, and for which licensing is first required by law, and for which licensing is first required by the state department of children and families and /or the agency for health care administration, or other state or federal agency.

Temporary portable storage container means a self - contained storage unit designed to be delivered to a site by a separate vehicle where it is removed from the vehicle and left at the site. Qnce on the site, it is used as temporary, short -term storage shelter.
