He continued further that it was not against the sunshine law for a Council Member to attend staff meetings, however he cautioned them because there can be legitimate complaints. Council Member Watford stated he understood the Council could not discuss any issue that could become a rezoning issue. The Council currently serves as the Land Planning Agency, Planning Board, Board of Adjustment and Appeals for the City. Other cities are implementing a policy that Council Member are either allowed or not allowed to attend meeting or discuss potential issues and he recommended the Council adopt a policy. Discussion continued on a specific situation concerning a meeting held at City Hall between Mr. Bill Cheatham, Administrator Bradshaw, Attorney Cook and Chief Tomey. The meeting was requested by Mr. Cheatham. Council Member Watford requested that in the future if the Administrator is going to request city staff attend meetings requested by other people, that he advise that person before the meeting if he was going to invite other City staff or a Council Member. SEPTEMBER 2,1997 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 6 OF 7 G. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED 5. Discuss ex-parte communications in City Council directed Attorney Cook to draft a policy for the City to consider as guidelines for Council Members to discuss issues government continued. and attend meetings. Council Member Markham commented that he would not support any policy that would be a Council Member's hands from being able to research an issue to allow full knowledge of the whole issue. 6. Discuss August 18, 1997 memorandum between Exhibit Six is a copy of the memorandum dated August 18, from Council Member Watford to Mayor Kirk and re -dated August 26 for Councilman Watford and Mayor Kirk - Councilman this agenda item. This memorandum is the same one as discussed in the previous item. Council Member Watford began discussion Markham (Exhibit 6). stating he had several people approach him concerning the meeting discussed in the previous item. He did not know that a Council Member was present at that meeting until Mr. Cheatham told him. Also, the Mayor usually meets with the Department Heads and Administrator to review their proposed budgets after the Administrator and Department Heads meet; and he understood that Council Member Markham was present during the Administrator/Department Head meeting. He felt attending some of these types of meetings could put a Council Member in an uncomfortable situation since a Council Member outside a convened Council Meeting has no authority, it could be misunderstood that what he is saying is for the entire Council. He did not want anyone to misunderstand his point, he felt that Council Members do have a riaht to come uo to City_ Hall and to research information on the agenda but to remember we I are the policy miakers and •;pie ha're an r,d�iili ils r ai0r i0 earl y Mosc policies out and mate day i0 day decisions. 01i--il `le;mber M `I "`l t" .,dmi�istra.0r t0 a:t rd tnose me "ra.

Jo". we just got out of was by thinking all v,,-, are supposed to do, is come up here two times a month and not do anything. Council Member Watford clarified that he was not directing his memorandum and comments specifically to Council Member Markham. However, he hoped he would understand that by him attending that meeting, he was provided with knowledge on something the rest of the Council did not have and that can lead to problems. Citizen Bill Osterman then addressed the Council concerning the meeting stating his views of the outcome of the meeting as they pertained to Council Member Markham's comments made during that meeting involving an alley to be closed and the Hamrick Trust. Mayor Kirk interrupted Mr. Osterman's statements commenting that Mr. Osterman was not at the meeting and since his comments were being presented in an arguable manner against Council Member Markham, he proceeded to reclaim the floor as Chairman, disallowing further comments on that matter. He thanked Council Member Markham for attending the budget meetings with the Administrator and Department Heads. Stating further that Mr. Bradshaw will have been here long enough by the next budget year and hoped he could handle the meetings himself and that the Council would let him since he felt the Department Heads and Administrator needed that "head bumping" meeting. SEPTEMBER 2,1997 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 7 OF 7 G. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED 6. Discuss August 18, 1997 memorandum between Mayor Kirk continued, he did not want the Council to intercede all the time with affairs between the Administrator and Department Councilman Watford and Mayor Kirk continued. Heads. He did not really know how to take Council Member Watford's memorandum. Also, the Council has discussed having an office at City Hall and he did not think Council Members needed to be at City Hall everyday nor making decisions. We have made good strides toward becoming more of an "administrative" type government and he did not want to see the City move back in time. Sometimes the Council does not always know what is going on. He implored them not to want an office at City Hall, he did not feel any of the Council Members had the time to run the City, there are Department Heads to do that. He ended the discussion on this matter stating, please do not do anything to destroy that process. 7. Discuss and decide the selection process of the Mayor Kirk advised thatthe Police Chief Application Review Committee met on August 27. There were eleven applications received. police chief position - Mayor Kirk (Exhibit 7). The committee short listed them to three as listed in Exhibit Seven in ranked order. The three listed are the only ones that had true leadership skills, two are local. Chief Mobley has had a second in command for twelve years and the Committee could not find anyone who was more qualified than that applicant. He also thanked the City Clerk's Office for assistance in the applicant analysis they provided to the Committee. Adjournment - Mayor Kirk. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE AND BE ADVISED that if a person decides to appeal any decision made by the City Council with respect to any matter considered at this meeting, he/she may need to insure that a verbatim record of the proceeding is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based. A tape recording of this meeting is on file in the City Clerk's Office. ATTEST: .LAMES E.

LP-E O I FIB` `� r Attachment for Item G.5. GOVERNMENT -IN -THE -SUNSHINE MANUAL board regarding their selection of the third member of the board must be conducted in accordance with the Sunshine Law. AGO 93-79. It is the how and the why officials decided to so act which interests the public, not merely the final decision. Thus, the court recognized in Times Publishing Company v. Williams, 222 So. 2d 470, 473 (Fla. 2d DCA 1969): Every thought, as well as every affirmative act, of a public official as it relates to and is within the scope of his official duties, is a matter of public concern; and it is the entire decision -making process that the legislature intended to affect by the enactment of the statute before us. (e.s.) 2. Circumstances in which the Sunshine Law may apply to a single individual or where E two board members are not physically present The Sunshine Law applies to public boards and commissions, i.e., collegial bodies. As discussed supra, s. 286.011, F.S., applies to meetings of "two or more members" of the same board or commission when discussing some matter which will foreseeably come before the board or commission. Therefore, s. 286.011, F.S., would not ordinarily apply to an individual member of a public board or commission or to public officials who are not board or commission members. Inf. Op. to John Dillener, January 5, 1990 (Sunshine Law not normally applicable to meeting of town council member with private citizens). See, Deerfield Beach Publishing, Inc. v. Robb, 530 So. 2d 510 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988) (requisite to application of the sunshine law is a meeting between two or more public officials): City of Sunrise v. News and Sun -Sentinel Company, 542 So. 2d 1354 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989); Mitchell v. School Board of Leon County, 335 So. 2d 354 (Fla. 1st DCA 1976). But cf., Jennings v. Dade County, 589 So. 2d 1337 (Fla. 3d DCA 1991), review denied, 598 So. 2d 75 (Fla. 1992), stating that ex parte (i.e., from one side only) communications in quasi-judicial proceedings raise a presumption that the contact was prejudicial to the decision - making process; and s. 286.01 15(2)(c), F.S., enacted in response to the Jennings case, providing that in a quasi-judicial proceeding on local government land use matters, a person may not be precluded from communicating directly with a member of the decisionmaking body by application of ex parte communication prohibitions. Certain factual situations, however, have arisen where, in order to assure public access to the decision -making processes of public boards or commissions, it has been necessary to conclude that the presence of two individuals of the same board or commission is not necessary to trigger application of s. 286.011, F.S. As stated by the Supreme Court, the Sunshine Law is to be construed "so as to frustrate all evasive devices." Town of Palm Beach v. Gradison, 296 So. 2d 473, 477 (Fla. 1974). a. Written correspondence between board members The use of a written report by one comnussioner to inform other commissioners of a subject which will be discussed at a public meeting is not a violation of the Sunshine Law if prior to the meeting there is no interaction related to the report among the commissioners. In such cases, the report, which is subject to disclosure under the Public Records Law, is not being used as a substitute for action at a public meeting as there is no interaction among the commissioners prior to the meeting. AGO 89-23. If, however, the report is circulated among board members for comments with such comments being provided to other members, there is interaction among the board members which is subject to s. 286.011, F.S. AGO 90-3. See also, AGO 96-35, stating that a school board member may prepare and circulate an informational memorandum or position paper to other board members; however, the use of a memorandum to solicit comment from other board members or 29 GOVERNMENT -IN -THE -SUNSHINE MANUAL also, AGO 96-34 ("E-mail" is a public record). Cf., Inf. Op. to Honorable Stephen Galaydick, October 19, 1995, advising that school board members may share a laptop computer even though the hard drive of the computer contains information reflecting the ideas of an individual member as long as the computer is not being used as a means of communication between members. d. Delegation of authority to single individual The Sunshine Law also applies when an individual has been delegated the authority to act on behalf of a public board or commission covered by the Sunshine Law. AGO 95-06. Section 286.011, F.S., therefore, would apply to meetings of a single member of a board who had been delegated the board's authority to lease land relating to that issue. Thus, the negotiations by that board member for the lease of land would have to be conducted in the sunshine. AGO 74-294. A meeting between representatives of a private organization and a city commissioner appointed by the city commission to act on its behalf in considering the construction and funding of a cultural center and performing arts theater would also be subject to S. 286.011, F.S. AGO 84-54. Similarly, when an individual member of a public board, or a board member and the executive director of the board, conducts a hearing or investigatory proceeding on behalf of the entire board, the hearing or proceeding must be held in the sunshine. AGOs 74-84 and 75-41. If a person designated by a board is authorized, either formally or informally, to exercise any decision -making authority on behalf of the board, i.e., to reject or modify certain contract provisions or terms, that person would be acting on behalf of the board and any such meetings are subject to the Sunshine Law. AGO 95-06. An appellate court has also held that if county attorneys entered into a contract without formal action by the county commission, enforcement of the contract would violate the Sunshine Law, noting that "[i]f the county could not have entered into this contract without action taken at a meeting, it necessarily follows that the actions of the county's attorneys could not bind the county to specific performance of a contract in the absence of proper commission approval." Broward County v. Conner, 660 So. 2d 288 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995). Thus, if a member of a public board is authorized only to explore various contract proposals with the applicant selected for the position of executive director, with such proposals being related back to the governing body for consideration, the discussions between the board member and the applicant are not subject to the Sunshine Law. AGO 93-78. If, however, the board member has been delegated the authority to reject certain options from further consideration by the entire board, the board member is performing a decision -making function that must be conducted in the sunshine. Id. See also, AGO 90-17, stating that if the board member has been authorized, formally or informally, to exercise any decision -making authority on behalf of the 1 board, such as approving or rejecting certain contract provisions, he is acting on behalf of the board and the meetings are subject to s. 286.011, F.S. Accord, AGO 95-06. It must be recognized, however, that the applicability of the Sunshine Law relates to the discussions of a single individual who has been delegated decision -making authority on behalf of a board or commission. If the individual, rather than the board, is vested by law, charter or ordinance with the authority to take action, such discussions are not subject to s. 286.011, F.S. For example, in City of Sunrise v. News and Sun -Sentinel Company, 542 So. 2d 1354 (Fla. ' 4th DCA 1989), the court held that since the mayor was responsible under the city charter for } disciplining city employees and since the mayor was not a board or commission and was not acting for a board, meetings between the mayor and a city employee concerning the employee's duties were not subject to s. 286.011, F.S. Cf., State, Department of Management Services v. Lewis, 653 So. 2d 467 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995), stating that the issuance of an order of reconsideration by a board chair did not violate the Sunshine Law where the purpose of the order was to provide notice to the parties and allow them an opportunity to provide argument on the issue. 31 E-6 CITY OF OKEECHOBEE MEMORANDUM TO: James E.

Watford, Jr., Councilman It has come to my attention that certain Council members are attending meetings held by the City Administrator with citizens, developers and department heads. I feel this puts that Council member in a delicate position, and could hamper the effectiveness of the City Administrator. No Council member should attend such a meeting without a request of the Mayor, the City Administrator, or the individual (with the consent of the City Administrator). Please advise if I need to put this matter on a Council Agenda for discussion, if you would prefer to handle by memo to the Council, or if I am incorrect in my assessment. Thank you.

OKCH 1 August 14, 1997 Honorable James Kirk, Mayor City of Okeechobee 55 S. E. 3`d Avenue Okeechobee, Florida 34974 RE: Reymund "Buck" Farrenkopf Dear Jim: The purpose of this letter is to advise you of my unqualified support for Buck Farrenkopf to fill the position of Chief of the Okeechobee City Police Department. I have known and worked closely with Buck for well over a decade in every type of law enforcement and administrative situation imaginable - from on the street investigation, to the court room, to serving together on numerous boards and committees. Buck is extremely competent; he is honest and forthright; he is a people person who can communicate on every level; he is a leader who expects and gets the best out of those who serve under him; and he has been trained and groomed for this position by one of the finest law enforcement officers I have ever known - Chief Larry Mobley. In short, I believe you can search from Maine to California and you will not find any other candidate who will come even close to matching Buck's credentials for providing the citizens of Okeechobee the same top quality law enforcement services they have enjoyed over the past twenty five years under Chief Mobley. I recommend him to you without any reservation or equivocation whatsoever. Sincerely, Edward A. Miller Sheriff of Okeechobee County EAM/fef C.C.
