The Planning Board voted unanimously by separate motions, on August 20, 2015, to recommend the City Council

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 also recommended was a
definition for Bulk Storage, added by Planning Staff as a house -keeping item needing to be addressed.
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, who distributed a revised ordinance to include a free-standing
drive -up ATM within the list of Special Exception Uses with conditions. The Council had discussed clarifying the
language at the September 14, 2015, meeting, and directed Staff at that time to provide alternative language for
consideration.

Mrs. Shade Turgeon, Executive Director for Okeechobee Main Street, (OKMS), presented a request for approval to
allow a 15-foot snow globe in Flagler Park No. 3 for the Christmas Festival on December 5, 2015. This is an
opportunity to enhance the festival. She offered that the snow globe will be shut down when Santa takes his post so
as not to detract from his attention. Council Member Watford and Mr. Marcos MontesDeOca, representing the
Kiwanis Club, noted, they did not see the snow globe as a detraction, but rather beneficial, as it would alleviate the
congestion for the line. The consensus of the Council was to approve this request. A motion was not required. Also,
since this was Mrs. Turgeon's last meeting as OKMS Executive Director, they wished her well with her future
endeavor with the Tourist Development Council.
A memorandum was distributed prior to the meeting listing the requests by the City as follows:
Specific funding requests for the City. Water Quality — (1) We do not support any more land acquisition for
Everglades Restoration in Okeechobee County unless the local government is compensated more justly for lost
jobs, loss of agriculture, and loss of ad valorem tax base than currently provided by the state from Payment in Lieu
of Taxes. (2) We do not support the use of Amendment One dollars for land acquisition but support the use of those
dollars for completing projects that will benefit the restoration efforts for the Kissimmee River, Lake Okeechobee
and the Everglades. We also support the use of Amendment One dollars to assist rural communities, like
Okeechobee, to improve their stormwater infrastructure and assist with compliance with the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection's Lake Okeechobee Basin Management Action Plan. (3) We support the continuation of
state cost sharing dollars for agricultural Best Management Practices.

Legislative Delegation Annual Meeting on
Issues of Concern to the City: - Continue to help by avoiding unfunded mandates and any other piece of
legislation that will eventually cause us undue harm. Our area has been designated as a Rural Area of Opportunity
(formerly known as rural area of critical economic concernlRACEC) but we need continued support on any front to
augment our fiscally constrained plight. The City understands the state has faced unbelievable financial crises, but our
area has fallen on uniquely difficult times, more specifically unemployment is above state average, and poverty level
higher than state averages. Support for continued financial commitment to Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) for the State Road (SR) 70 widening projects; including SR 70 West to U.S. Highway
27. FDOT anticipates much needed extraordinary expenditures within Okeechobee County, which will foster
continued economic growth, traffic congestion relief and appropriate evacuation routing. Medical Marijuana - The
City requests to maintain our home rule authority regarding medical marijuana. Public Records Law - The City has
always been as transparent as humanly possible and, of course, understands the public's right of access to our
records. We seek only to protect local government's interest from relief of abuse of the Public Records Act.
Issues of Financial Concern to the City: Re -location of utilities - Oppose any legislation that will hold the City
responsible for relocating utilities. Local Business Taxes - The City requests that our legislative delegation not
support any actions to remove or alter the current Florida Statutes allowing counties and municipalities the
authority to levy local business taxes subject to certain conditions. These local business taxes are currently
used by local government to provide resources for a variety of services including public safety and economic
development. In connection with the Business Tax Receipts (BTR's) the City performs a number of inspections
including health and safety review. The BTR provides a registry of business activity that can be monitored for
appropriate zoning, land use and Code compliance. A number of legislative initiatives were brought forward during the
last legislative session that restricted or would have repealed the authority of local governments to levy the local
business tax, negatively impacting resources for providing services and future bonding needs. No legislation should
be enacted that eliminates or further restricts the use of the local business tax. The City's revenue loss is estimated at
$70,000+. Communications Services Tax (CST) The City requests that a solution to declining and inequitable
CST be considered. Legislative and technological changes which have occurred over the past few years have
resulted in an erosion of CST revenues to the state and local governments, diminishing the reliability of the revenue
stream for operating and future bonding needs. These changes have also resulted in like services being taxed
differently depending on the service provider or method of sale, causing the very discrimination the CST Simplification
law was intended to prevent. The City received $362,000 in 2008 and expects to receive about $241,000 in 2014, a 33
percent reduction. In light of the fact that any changes to the CST revenue stream not carefully conceived could cause
serious financial harm to local government. Legislation aimed at reforming the CST should be developed through
consensus by a working group comprised of local governments, the communications industry and the state. Allow the
CST to remain a local -controlled revenue stream; be carefully crafted to stabilize the currently diminished local
government share of CST revenues and augment revenues by eliminating certain loopholes that have been realized.
Remove competitive advantages by providing similar tax treatment to similar services, regardless of technology
utilized or method of delivery. Provide transparency, and audited by the Department of Revenue (DOR).

ITEM ADDED TO AGENDA: E. Discuss the 2016 Legislative requests to be
presented at the Okeechobee Legislative Delegation Annual Meeting on
October 16, 2015, continued.
Issues of Financial Concern to the City continued: Utility Relocation — Oppose legislation holding Cities
responsible for utility location costs. No unfunded mandates. Sales Tax on Internet Transactions The City
requests that consideration be given to any legislation that rectifies tax free internet sales transactions.
Internet -based businesses currently have a competitive advantage over our local and in -state businesses, since
sales tax is usually not collected on internet transactions, resulting in billions of dollars in lost revenue as well as lost
opportunities for economic growth. Legislation should be enacted, and the DOR should adopt rules and regulations
consistent with the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement. (Revenue loss to City is uncertain, but $100-$200
million in local tax loss, 1.24 billion at state level). Pension Reform The City Pension Plan is solvent and absent
some of the extravagant benefits found in other plans. The City requests the State not apply a one size fits
all or propose reform tha4 in the end, is an unfunded mandate. Reform of state and local government pension
plans has received substantial attention in Florida. Much of the discussion focuses on funding levels and actuarial
assumptions. Pension plans should be manageable in the short term and sustainable in the long term. Legislation
aimed at reforming pension plans for local government should ensure that any legislation be made on a prospective
basis that provide for existing employees to receive benefits consistent with those promises already made, provide
flexibility that allows local governments to respond in a manner that recognizes the unique issues faced by each
local plan and community; avoid or eliminate inconsistencies in state statutes that simultaneously mandate the
provision of new benefits and compel local governments to reduce pension costs. Exemption -State mandated Our
City has always been cognizant of taxpayer affordability. Our request, which parallels the 'no unfunded mandate'
statement, is that there is no mandated tax exemption, or at least there is no legislation that echoes the 'one size
fits all' philosophy. Any legislation proposing additional tax exemptions should give the local jurisdiction the authority
to initiate.
Issues — Law Enforcement: Support the current "Truth -in -Sentencing" Law that requires convicted
criminals to serve a minimum of 85 percent of their court -imposed sentence. The citizens of Florida are
currently experiencing the lowest crime rate in 41 years. The "Truth -in -Sentencing" Law implemented in 1995 has
been an essential tool in our efforts to reduce crime and improve Public Safety in our communities. By the same
token, supporting inmate re-entry programs during the incarcerated period that provides substance -abuse
treatment, mental health treatment, vocational and educational training and life skills education that will prepare the
inmate to become a productive citizen upon their release from incarceration. Search and Seizure- the City
encourages the legislature to preserve law enforcement's ability to act timely in the protection of our citizens. The
City embraces its duty to defend citizens' rights against unreasonable search and seizure provided by the 4th
Amendment of the United States Constitution, and a citizens' right to privacy provided by Article 1, Section 23 of the
Florida Constitution. We also recognize that the legislature has the prerogative to increase these protections. Stand
Your Ground — Support the findings of the "Governor's Task Force on Citizen Safety and Protection" as outlined in
their report submitted on February 21, 2013.

Issues continued — Collective Bargaining expansion — Both the City Council and our Law Enforcement family
oppose, at both the State and Federal levels, any legislative attempt to further restrict the local conduct of
employee/employer relations issues. This would include any expansion of or mandating of collective bargaining by
local governments. Law Enforcement Funding Endorsement. FDLE Services — We ask the Legislature to
recognize the vitally important services which FDLE provides to state, county, and local law enforcement agencies.
We urge the Legislature to ensure FDLE has adequate funding to support local law enforcement efforts to ensure
the safety of our citizens. The Court System Services — We believe it is in the best interest of law enforcement and
public safety to have an adequately funded judicial system. Juvenile Justice System — We support and urge
sufficient funding for all aspects of the juvenile justice system including diversion, assessment centers, treatment,
pre-trial detention and commitment programs.
Support for other local agencies: The City supports the legislative initiatives of each agency, Okeechobee

To: John Cook, Interim City Administrator
From: David Allen, Public Works Director
Date: 9/17/2015
Re: Landscape Maintenance contract bid results and recommendation
John,
The results of the request for proposals for our annual landscape maintenance contract are listed below.
I am recommending that the City award the contract to the lowest bidder, Integrity Lawns LLC from
Okeechobee in the amount of $24,900.00 annually.
The City received bids from three vendors including the vendor that is currently being utilized by the
City. The current contract has been in place for one year. The low bid was from the current vendor,
Integrity Lawns LLC. The previous contract with Integrity was in the amount of $19,199.52 annually.
The performance by the current vendor has been marginal at times. To alleviate the current issues, the
contract governing specifications have been amended to include the following changes:
Mowing specification has been modified from "All grass areas should be mowed approximately
43 times per year" to read All grass areas should be mowed no less than 43 times per year. The
number of mowing's is based on weekly during the wet season and every two weeks during the
dry season.
A weekly work performed report (see attached) allowing better monitoring of work performed
as well as providing General Services with an improved mechanism for reporting to FDOT per
our landscape contract with them for the medians on US 441 and SR 70.
Let me know if you want me to proceed or if you have any questions.
David

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Kirk and City Council Members
CC. City Clerk
From: John Cook, Interim Administrator
Subject: September 28, 2015 City Council Agenda
New Business Item
Legislative Issues
Date: September 28, 2015
Please add the following New Business item to the September 28, 2015 City
Council Agenda:
Discuss 2016 Legislative requests to be presented at the Okeechobee
Legislative Delegation Annual Meeting on October 16, 2015.
Thank you.
City of Okeechobee
2016 Legislative Issues
Delegation Hearing
Specific funding requests for the City:
*Support and funding for ???
Water Quality — Thank you for your funding of the City's stormwater conveyance projects in previous
years. We are completing the final phase with the 2015 funding. We support projects that help Lake
Okeechobee's water quality.
1. We do not support any more land acquisition for Everglades Restoration in Okeechobee County
unless the local government is compensated more justly for lost jobs, loss of agriculture, and loss of ad
valorem tax base than currently provided by the state from Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT).
2. We do not support the use of Amendment 1 dollars for land acquisition but support the use of those
dollars for completing projects that will benefit the restoration efforts for the Kissimmee River, Lake
Okeechobee and the Everglades. We also support the use of Amendment 1 dollars to assist rural
communities, like Okeechobee, to improve their stormwater infrastructure and assist with compliance
with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Lake Okeechobee Basin Management Action
Plan (BMAP).
3. We support the continuation of state cost sharing dollars for agricultural Best Management Practices.
Issues of Concern to the City:
Our appeal to you as Legislators continues to be to help us by avoiding unfunded mandates and any
other piece of legislation that will eventually cause us undo harm. Our area has been designated as a
Rural Area of Opportunity (formerly known as rural area of critical economic concern/RACEC) but we
need your continued support on any front to augment our fiscally constrained plight. We understand
the State has faced unbelievable financial crises, but our area has fallen on uniquely difficult
times ... more specifically our:
■ Unemployment above State averages.
■ Poverty level is higher than State averages.
Support for continued financial commitment to the FDOT for the SR 70 widening project; including SR
70 west to Highway 27. FDOT anticipates much needed extraordinary expenditures within Okeechobee
County, which will foster continued economic growth, traffic congestion relief and appropriate
evacuation routing.
Medical Marijuana — The City requests to maintain our home rule authority regarding medical
marijuana.
Public Records law — The City has always been as transparent as humanly possible and, of course,
understands the public's right of access to our records. We seek only to protect local government's
interest from relief of abuse of the Public Records Act.
O City of Okeechobee - 2016 Legislative Issues
Issues of financial concern to the City:
Re -location of utilities — Please oppose any legislation that will hold the City responsible for relocating
utilities.
Local Business Taxes
The City requests that our legislative delegation not support any actions to remove or alter the current
Florida Statutes allowing counties and municipalities the authority to levy local business taxes subject
to certain conditions. These local business taxes are currently used by local government to provide
resources for a variety of services, including public safety and economic development. In connection
with the Business Tax Receipt (BTR) the City performs a number of inspections including health and
safety review. The BTR provides a registry of business activity that can be monitored for appropriate
zoning, land use and Code compliance. A number of legislative initiatives were brought forward during
the last legislative session that restricted or would have repealed the authority of local governments to
levy the local business tax; negatively impacting resources for providing services and future bonding
needs. No legislation should be enacted that eliminates or further restricts the use of the local business
tax. The City of Okeechobee revenue loss is estimated at $70,000+.
Communications Services Tax (CST)
The City requests that a solution to declining and inequitable Communication Service Tax be
considered.
Legislative and technological changes which have occurred over the past few years have resulted in an
erosion of CST revenues to the state and local governments, diminishing the reliability of the revenue
stream for operating and future bonding needs. These changes have also resulted in like services being
taxed differently depending on the service provider or method of sale, causing the very discrimination
the Communications Services Tax Simplification law was intended to prevent. The City of Okeechobee
rec'd $362,000 in 2008 and expects to receive about $241,000 in 2014...a 33% reduction.
In light of the fact that any changes to the CST revenue stream not carefully conceived could cause
serious financial harm to local government, legislation aimed at reforming the Communications Services
Tax should:
• Be developedthrough consensus by a working group comprised of local governments, the
communications industry and the state
• Allow the CST to remain a locally -controlled revenue stream
• Be carefully crafted to stabilize the currently diminished local government share of CST
revenues and augment revenues by eliminating certain loopholes that have been realized
• Remove competitive advantages by providing similar tax treatment to similar services,
regardless of the technology utilized nor method of delivery
• Provide transparency, such that the tax can easily be recalculated by the customer and audited
by DOR
Utility Relocation — Oppose legislation holding Cities responsible for utility location costs. No unfunded
mandates.
Sales Tax on Internet Transactions
The City requests that consideration be given to any legislation that rectifies tax free internet sales
transactions. Internet -based businesses currently have a competitive advantage over our local and in-
state businesses, since sales tax is usually not collected on internet transactions, resulting in billions of
dollars in lost revenue as well as lost opportunities for economic growth. Legislation should be enacted,
2 of 4 City of Okeechobee - 2016 Legislative Issues
and the Department of Revenue should adopt rules and regulations consistent with the Streamlined
Sales and Use Tax Agreement. (Revenue loss to City of Okeechobee is uncertain, but $100-200 million in
local tax loss, 1.24 billion at State level).
Pension Reform
The City of Okeechobee pension plan is solvent and absent some of the extravagant benefits found in
other plans. The City requests the State not apply a one size fits all or propose reform that, in the end,
is an unfunded mandate.
Reform of state and local government pension plans has received substantial attention in Florida. Much
of the discussion focuses on funding levels and actuarial assumptions. Pension plans should be
manageable in the short term and sustainable in the long term.
Legislation aimed at reforming pension plans for local government should:
• Ensure that any legislation be made on a prospective basis that provides for existing
employees to receive benefits consistent with those promises already made.
• Provide flexibility that allows local governments to respond in a manner that recognizes the
unique issues faced by each local plan and community.
• Avoid or eliminate inconsistencies in state statutes that simultaneously mandate the provision
of new benefits and compel local governments to reduce pension costs.
Exemption — State mandated
Our City has always been cognizant of taxpayer affordability. Our request, which parallels the 'no
unfunded mandate' statement, is that there is no mandated tax exemption, or at least there is no
legislation that echoes the 'one size fits all' philosophy. Any legislation proposing additional tax
exemption should give the local jurisdiction the authority to initiate.
Issues — Law Enforcement:
Support the current "Truth -in -Sentencing" Law that requires convicted criminals to serve a minimum
of 85% of their court -imposed sentence. The citizens of Florida are currently experiencing the lowest
crime rate in 41 years. The "Truth -in -Sentencing" Law implemented in 1995 has been an essential tool
in our efforts to reduce crime and improve Public Safety in our communities.
In the same token, supporting inmate re-entry programs during the incarcerated period that provides
substance -abuse treatment, mental health treatment, vocational and educational training and life skills
education that will prepare the inmate to become a productive citizen upon their release from
incarceration.
Search and Seizure — the City encourages the legislature to preserve law enforcement's ability to act
timely in the protection of our citizens. The City embraces its duty to defend citizens' rights against
unreasonable search and seizure provided by the 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution, and
a citizen's right to privacy provided by Article 1, Section 23 of the Florida Constitution. We also
recognize that the legislature has the prerogative to increase these protections.
Stand Your Ground - Support the findings of the "Governor's Task Force on Citizen Safety and
Protection" as outlined in their report submitted on February 21, 2013.
Collective Bargaining expansion - Both the City Council and our Law Enforcement family oppose, at
both the State and Federal levels, any legislative attempt to further restrict the local conduct of
3 of 4 1 City of Okeechobee - 2016 Legislative Issues
employee/employer relations issues. This would include any expansion of or mandating of collective ~ `
bargaining by local governments.
Law Enforcement funding endorsement:
FDLE Services - We ask the Legislature to recognize the vitally important services which FDLE provides
to state, county and local law enforcement agencies. We urge the Legislature to ensure FDLE has
adequate funding to support local law enforcement efforts to ensure the safety of our citizens.
The Court System Services - We believe it is in the best interest of law enforcement and public safety to
have an adequately funded judicial system.
Juvenile Justice System - We support and urge sufficient funding for all aspects of the juvenile justice
system including diversion, assessment centers, treatment, pretrial detention and commitment
programs.
Support for other local agencies:
The City of Okeechobee supports the legislative initiatives of each agency below:
*Okeechobee County —
*Okeechobee Utility Authority —
*Okeechobee County School District
*Chamber of Commerce
