SEPTEMBER 14, 2015 - REGULAR MEETING & FIRST BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING - PAGE 3 OF 10 453 VII. LDR TEXT AMENDMENT PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED A.2.a) Motion to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance No. 1127 b) Public comments and discussion. c) Vote on motion. Council Member O'Connor moved to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance No. 1127; seconded by Council Member Ritter. Mayor Kirk asked whether there were any comments or questions from the public. There were none. The floor was yielded to City Planning Consultant, Mr. Bill Brisson of LaRue Planning and Management Services, 1375 Jackson Street, Suite 206, Fort Myers, Florida. He explained a property owner has inquired whether they can construct a stand-alone ATM as either a principal use, or as an accessory use to a commercial parking lot. Currently, there is not a definition for an ATM, neither are there provisions for an ATM to be a principle stand-alone permitted use or a special exception use. ATM's have only been addressed in relation with building or remodeling a financial institution or in connection with a commercial principle use. Mr. Brisson's planning standpoint, based on his research, is that an ATM is not a customary accessory use to a commercial parking lot. The Planning Board voted unanimously by separate motions, on August 20, 2015, to recommend the City Council approve amending all commercial zoning districts special exception use sections to include an ATM as an accessory use. Then further that the definition of an ATM be a machine used by bank and financial service patrons to conduct transactions including deposits, fund transfers, and withdrawals without contact with financial institution personnel. The machines may be located at or within a bank, or in other locations. A walk-up and/or drive -up ATM is considered a customary accessory use to all uses of a commercial nature contained in the list of permitted or special exception uses in all commercial zoning districts. Within the text amendment and recommended was also a definition for Bulk Storage, which was added by Planning Staff as a house -keeping item needing to be addressed. The proposed ordinance language specifically states a drive -up ATM is allowed as an accessory use by special exception. Council Member Watford noted his confusion as to how this amendment provides for a property owner to have an ATM in a parking lot without a principle use. Mr. Brisson then distributed a copy of alternative language for discussion, which read, "to allow a free-standing drive-thru ATM as a principal use by special exception provided said ATM is available for the transaction of deposits, cash withdrawals and mortgage or loan payments to a bank or other financial institution with an office located in the City or County." The Council agreed the alternative language was clearer and that it required the ATM be affiliated with a local bank or financial institution. However, no official action to amend the proposed ordinance was offered at this time. It was implied that Staff provide the alternative language complete in ordinance form for the Council's consideration to amend at the final hearing. KIRK — YEA RITTER — YEA VOTE: CHANDLER — YEA O'CONNOR — YEA WATFORD — YEA MOTION CARRIED.

Main Street for the work done on the — Sharie Turgeon, Executive Director B. Motion to approve an employment agreement for the City Administrator — City Attorney (Exhibit 3). Mrs. Maureen Burroughs, President of Okeechobee Main Street (OKMS), shared that they nominated the Joint City/OKMS Median Beautification Project for the Secretary of State Main Street Award for Public/Private Partnerships and excitedly announced this by displaying the plaque that it won. The Mayor and Council thanked Mrs. Burroughs and Executive Director Turgeon for the continual support and efforts by OKMS to improve the City. Council Member Watford extended congratulations to Mrs. Burroughs, as she was also presented the State Main Street Leadership Award for her outstanding accomplishments over the years. Motion and second by Council Members Watford and O'Connor to approve an employment agreement for the City Administrator position with Mr. Marcos MontesDeOca. Attorney Cook explained after Mr. MontesDeOca received the proposed contract, he returned it with some changes and deletions, mostly procedural but some significant, to be considered for Council's approval. These items, along with other areas of question, were reviewed with Mr. MontesDeOca, and negotiated as follows: Section 3: Terms, (B) This agreement may renew for a period of two years annually after the initial term, upon majority vote of the City Council annually. Council Member Watford asked to clarify, after two years, a new contract would need to be approved, and any terms renegotiated every other year from then on. All agreed. Attorney Cook will readdress the language for clarity and delete the last "annually." Section 4: Salary and Evaluation, (A) For the performance of services pursuant to this Agreement, the City agrees to pay the City Administrator an annual base salary of $80,225.15 (Step 3 of the Salary Plan), payable in installments at the same time as other City employees are paid, subject to standard tax and benefit deductions. It was questioned whether to change the base salary to be recognized as Step 1, to be consistent with previous practice. The consensus of the Council was to leave it as Step 3. Additionally it was agreed that the City Administrator will be exempt of the initial three month evaluation period as outlined within the personnel policies. Attorney Cook will provide the appropriate language to clarify the exemption. (B), The City Administrator is subject to an evaluation of their performance at least once annually, to be completed at least three months prior to the end of the agreement year by the City Council, on or before June 30 each year. All agreed to amend to read, " .. to be completed by the City Council by June 1 each year .. " in order to allow sufficient time for potential contract change negotiations on the appropriate years and budgetary preparations. (C), Upon the annual employment anniversary date, and receiving a satisfactory evaluation score, the City Administrator shall be entitled to a longevity salary increase as provided for all other full-time employees. Mr. MontesDeOca requested to change the wording to read, " .. to a longevity salary increase in addition to those provided for .." The Council denied the change explaining additional salary increases are provided for in paragraph E. Mr. MontesDeOca concurred based on the explanation. SEPTEMBER 14.2015 - REGULAR MEETING & FIRST BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING - PAGE 5 OF 10 455 Vill. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED B. Motion to approve an employment agreement for the City continued Mr. MontesDeOca requested three additional paragraphs be added to Section 6, Benefits, the first outlining he accrue 20 vacation days per year, without an annual maximum accumulation cap. The second outlined he accrue 10 days of sick leave per year and that he be able to be paid any unused sick days at the end of one year. The third paragraph stated he be entitled to be paid for all holidays in accordance with City policy. Discussion ensued with the following as a compromise: sub -paragraph 1 will be added under paragraph A to allow him to accrue 10.0 hours per month (15 days per year), with the same accrual, use, and annual maximum accumulation cap (240.0 hours) as all other employees. The proposed language for sick and paid holidays will be removed as he will be entitled to accrue and/or use these leave benefits within the same parameters as other employees, which is already addressed in paragraph A, and outlined in the Personnel Policies and Procedures handbook. However, upon reviewing the current sick leave benefit policy, the Council noted to Clerk Gamiotea, as the Personnel Administrator, that they would consider potential changes to the policy for all employees. Section 6: Benefits, (D) The City shall provide the City Administrator with a cellular phone allowance of $50.00 per month to compensate them for the business use on their personal cellular phone. Mr. MontesDeOca requested the City purchase a cell phone to be restricted for City business use only. The compromise agreed on was to increase the phone allowance to $100 per month. (E) The City agrees to provide the City Administrator annual health, long term disability and life insurance, which does not include coverage for spouse or dependents. Such coverage will be effective upon employment. The Council agreed to delete the last sentence as requested by Mr. MontesDeOca, and Attorney Cook provide language to clarify that he may purchase insurance benefits for his spouse and/or dependent. Section 9: Termination and Severance. Attorney Cook originally proposed a tiered severance package at one year, three to nine years, and ten or more years. Mr. MontesDeOca counter offered with 90-days or one -quarter of the base salary after working 60-days. All agreed to 60-days base salary pay after working 60-days, delete the proposed "one -quarter of the base salary" and change the payment for 100 percent of accrued leave benefits to up to 240.0 annual leave hours and 50 percent sick leave. There were minor requested additions and deletions in Section 5: D, and G, Section 6: B, F, and H, proposed by Mr. MontesDeOca that the Council concurred without discussion, and Section 11: A, will be deleted as the effective date is addressed in another section. The contract will be edited to note the above changes, as well as some procedural corrections, and then presented to Mr. MontesDeOca for execution. His official start date will be October 1, 2015.

Brisson, Planning Consultant. Motions Carried Unanimously to recommend the City Council approve Application No. 15-004-TA, to allow an ATM as an Accessory Use in all Commercial Zoning Districts as a Special Exception Use. Also recommend the City Council adopt the definitions as follows: Automated teller machine/ATM means a machine used by bank and financial service patrons to conduct transactions including deposits, fund transfers, and withdrawals without contact with financial institution personnel. The machines may be located at or within a bank, or in other locations. A walk-up and/or drive -up ATM is considered a customary accessory use to all uses of a commercial nature contained in the list of Permitted or Special Exception uses in the CPO, CLT, CHV, and CBD Zoning Districts. Bulk storage means the storage of liquid, solid or gaseous materials in structures for subsequent resale to distributors, retail dealers or outlets, and not directly to the consuming public. The definition for bulk storage is being included as over the last few months the City has received several inquiries on this topic. Bulk storage means the storage of liquid, solid or gaseous materials in structures for subsequent resale to distributors, retail dealers or outlets, and not directly to the consuming public. Drive up ATM typically A property owner has inquired whether they can construct a stand alone Automated Teller Machine (ATM) as either a principal use, or as an accessory use to a commercial parking lot. Currently, there is not a definition for an ATM, nor provisions for an ATM to be a permitted or special exception use within the LDR's. They have only been addressed in relation with a financial institution. Mr. Brisson's planning standpoint based on his research is an ATM is not a customary accessory use to a commercial parking lot. The proposed amendment includes a definition for an ATM, bulk storage and options to recommend adding Drive -up automated teller machine/ATM, either as a principal or accessory use, to the list of Special Exception Uses in the CPO, CLT, CHV and CBD Zoning Districts; or, recommend to allow a freestanding drive -up ATM as a principal use by Special Exception, in any of the Commercial Districts or recommend to allow a drive -up ATM only as an accessory use by Special Exception, in any of the Commercial Districts. It states in the LDR's that more than one principal structure may be erected on a lot, provided that the surveyed legal descriptions shall be used, and area, yard and all other zoning regulations shall be met for each structure as though they were on separate lots. Which in essence doubles the required setbacks. Mr. Brisson explained his reservations in allowing an ATM as a principal use on a commercial lot with nothing else could lead to problems in the future, as a property owner may find there is not sufficient area on the lot to accommodate a building due to the double setback requirements between the two uses. This possibly would lead the owner to request a Variance and that should not be granted as the hardship was created by the owner. He recommended two or three parking spaces be required as well as the ATM should be a within a building facade. While he is not recommending any conditions at this time, special conditions can be addressed during the Special Exception process. Mr. Brisson provided, Automated teller machine/ATM means a machine used by bank and financial service patrons to conduct transactions including deposits, fund transfers, and withdrawals without contact with financial institution personnel. The machines may be located at or within a bank, or in other locations. A walk-up ATM is considered a customary accessory use to all uses of a commercial nature contained in the list of Permitted or Special Exception uses in the CPO, CLT, CHV, and CBD Zoning Districts. Allow ATM walk up will be a customary use. Propose amending it to allow a free standing drive thru ATM as a principal use by Special Exception provided said ATM is available for the transaction of deposits cash withdrawals and mortgage or loan payments to a bank or other financial institution with an office located in the City or County.

O'Connor specific projects, is that exactly the specific ones were going to do? It depends, some may some may not. Two things that bother me, new administrator has not had a chance to put his two cents in and then he is held to make it work. Kirk, grants are the only thing that are set in stone. In all fairness to the new administrator he needs to have some input. Cook Marcos has been brought up t ospeedd and has given some ideas. Marcos medians project alone I want to save the city money on. Three options were presented to balance the Budget.

Public Works Director Allen distributed literature on the purchase of the two software programs. The Work Order Management System offers the City the opportunity to digitally enhance the Public Works Department with the goal being to boost performance and efficiency. The software will track and organize citizen complaints received by City Staff, Mayor and Council, and can be expanded to allow the public to submit requests through the City website. Within the department, employees will be able to update the progress of the work request. Tasks/requests of a more emergency type nature can be prioritized accordingly, which assists the employees, as well as track routine maintenance areas so that nothing is missed or forgotten. The program offers the Department to have better inventory controls and budgetary preparation as it will track items purchased, quantities, and man-hours to complete the task as well as periodic equipment maintenance, repairs, and/or replacements. The initial purchase is $6,200.00. Public Facility Improvement Fund continued: The other program is the Geographic Information System (GIS) Project. The infrastructure within the City is aging and is not inventoried in a manner that is easily able to be updated, offer a specific location, or give a condition assessment. The Department is tasked with maintaining the quantity, condition, and maintenance of paved and unpaved roadways; rights -of -way; striping; landscaping; storm drains; ditches and retainage areas; culverts; traffic, directional, and roadway signage; sidewalks; street lights; parks and open areas; alleyways; and City owned properties, fencing, and facilities. A majority of these items are addressed within the annual financial reports as they are assets for the City. Implementing a GIS Program will allow for a complete inventory of the infrastructure along with its condition and maintenance prioritization. An example given explained that after a natural disaster the areas with damage would be updated and then their repairs tracked, which in turn a report is forwarded together with the previously explained work order system, to Finance for ease of completing FEMA reimbursements. The initial purchase is $9,100.00, plus approximately $7,250.00 in personnel costs for the initial data collection.

Modifications to the building will have to be completed within this year and the truck purchase will be addressed in the 2016-17 Fiscal Year. -Line Item 541-6400 Public Works $3,500.00 to replace ice maker. -Line Item 549-6401 Parks Improvement $100,000.00 encompasses the cost to cure landscaping within Flagler Park relating to the State Road 70/US Highway 441 Roadway Improvements and the Southwest 2nd Avenue parking area between North and South Park Streets. -Line Item 549-6402 Median Replacement and Right -of -Way $100,000.00 landscaping and items related to the State Road 70/US Highway 441 Roadway Improvements. -Line Item 584-6400 Future Capital Projects $50,000.00 for improvements within the downtown area.

Leaving a Fund Balance of $1,745.00. The discussion then turned to Salary options. Materials distributed for review were the proposed Step Plan for full-time positions, although there is also a step plan for part-time employees, State Cost of Living (COLA) rates from 2007 to 2015, a Budget Impact Analysis offering four COLA options for full-time Employees, and research with budget impacts to adjust the Mayor and Council salary. The COLA options were to offer a 1.96, 2.5, 3, and 4 percent across the board salary increase. After careful consideration, the general consensus was to present the budget at the first hearing with Option Two, which is a 2.5 percent salary increase with a budget impact of $77,123.15. Additionally, the consensus was to include salary adjustments, the annual salary for the Mayor to be $8,500, and the Council Member positions at $7,000.00, their salaries have not been adjusted since 1989.

Language to be deleted is stFUGk thFeugh. Planning Management Services, Inc. Memorandum To: Planning Board From: Bill Brisson, AICP Sr. Planner, LaRue Planning & Management Services, Inc. Date: August 10, 2015 Subject: Materials for August 20th Planning Board Meeting At the upcoming Planning Board meeting we will be considering Ordinance 1127. A property owner is interested in an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) as either a principal use in its own right, or as an accessory use to a commercial parking lot. There is no definition for an ATM and there is no provision in the LDC that specifically allows for an ATM as a permitted use. Furthermore, while it has become generally accepted that an ATM associated with a financial institution, or located within or attached to a building housing another commercial use, is a customary accessory use, Staff is of the opinion that an ATM is not customarily accessory to a commercial parking lot. Therefore, in order to avoid conflict over interpretations and the extended time associated with an appeal of an administrative interpretation, the Acting City Administrator has authorized a City -initiated text amendment to the LDC to address this matter. The proposed ordinance before you includes a definition for an ATM and changes to the list of Special Exception Uses in the CPO, CLT, CHV and CBD Zoning Districts. From a practical standpoint, the Planning Board could recommend to the City Council approval of the Ordinance as it is now written -- Adding "Drive -up automated teller machine/ATM (either as a principal or accessory use) to the list of Special Exception Uses in the CPO, CLT, CHV and CBD Zoning Districts; or, alternatively, the Planning Board could recommend in any one of the following manners: 1. Allow a freestanding drive -up ATM (i.e., as a principal use) by Special Exception in all or any one or more of the four Commercial Districts, or 2. Allow a drive -up ATM only as an accessory use by Special Exception in all or any one or more of the four Commercial Districts. Finally, in addition to the foregoing proposed changes, we have included a definition for "bulk storage" to eliminate the need for interpretation as to what is considered bulk storage. With a brief look to the future, there are a number of issues that have arisen over the past couple years that clearly indicate the need for additional changes to the LDRs. We expect to be bringing these to you over the coming months. I look forward to our discussions on August 20th.

He said the staff does a good job of putting the budget together and making the information understandable. He said that helps the council when they make decisions. "We never like to increase taxes, but it was time. We have not had an increase in five years and we've reached a point where we can't do that any longer," he added. Kirk said the property values have not re- covered from state tax changes and from the economic downturn. He said he was happy the city was able to give employees a raise this year. "We've given them small raises through - these tough times and didn't lay off any peo- ple. We also didn't hire a lot of new people when times were good. We have the same number of employees we had 10 years ago," he added. He said down the road the city will face expenses from the Taylor Creek Park project and also must purchase a new fire truck. The budget includes some money for medians and landscape work at U.S. 441 and S.R. 70. A storm water grant of $300,000 was received from the state. The city will also consider a roof replacement for the city police department. Councilman Mike O'Connor said there FbAG Continued From Page 1 that is very special to me. Special to me as a former Marine and as an American, but also because I am one of the millions and millions of beneficiaries of all that our Flag represents. I also want to thank them for honoring our veterans and first responders today. No other day could be more fitting to do that," said guest speaker Judge Jerald Bryant. The judge, who also spoke at the dedica- tion of an American Flag at the Gilbert Chev- rolet dealership in July, noted that was the first Flag to be raised along this highway that is large enough to catch the eye of every- one heading toward our most popular and greatest asset, Lake Okeechobee. "Since that first Flag was raised in July, I have walked several days on the dike sur- rounding our lake and have enjoyed a spe- cial feeling in my chest as I looked to the north and saw that Flag flying high above the landscape. There is just something about a large Flag as it begins to unfurl, then catches a good wind and waves gracefully in the sky. Every time I see that, I rekindle my gratitude for all that has happened throughout the history of our Flag... and for the Culbreth family for giving this local sym- bol to us," he said. The judge noted that both Flags — at 25 feet by 13 feet — are large enough to be seen from a distance. "Today is especially important to us as Americans, and we could not have a more fitting day to dedicate this Flag. Fourteen are a number of things funded in the budget that should be reviewed by the new admin- istrator. He suggested Mr. Monies De Oca might have different priorities. The mayor issued a proclamation to rec- ognize Sept. 17-23 as National Constitution Week. The city honored firefighter Mike Skipper with a five-year service award. Okeechobee Main Street also recognized the city for their financial support for the median beautification project on South Par- rott Avenue. The Florida Secretary of State issued the award for the public and private partnership that made the project possible. Mayor Jim Kirk (right) received an award on behalf of the city from the state of Florida for the South Parrott Avenue median project Monday. Main Street president Maureen Burroughs (left) presented the award. years ago today, the peace and securi f our nation was disrupted —for the first.me on our soil since 1941 and only the second since more than a century before that — in a brutal attack by 19 murdering followers of a mad Islamist ... set on destroying our na- tion and the will and resolve of our people. "That day in 2001, 2,977 people lost their lives. These include 2,753 lives from the two Flights striking the World Trade Center ... including 343 FDNY firefighters and 60 officers of the NYPD and Port Authority Po- lice — first responders who ran TO the ex- plosions and not AWAY FROM them; it also includes 184 lives from the Flight that struck the Pentagon; and in the field in Shanksville, Pa., 40 more lives aboard United Airlines Flight 93. You recall the final brave words of the passengers on that flight "Let's roll!" as they tried to overpower their highjackers. "Three thousand innocent lives lost in an attack carried out by 19 non-military men armed with box cutters, but dead set on de- stroying us. Compare that to the attack on Pearl Harbor, where 2,500 lives were lost in the attack carried out by nearly an entire navy and air force of a powerful nation. Our sense of safety and security was justifiably shaken by the fall of those twin towers! "We named Sept. l 1 "Patriots Day" and honor those 3,000 lives each year with a ceremony of remembrance," he said. Note: The complete text of Judge Bry- ant's speech is online at okeechobeenews. net.
