MEMO
Re: use of city parks
The question has been posed, may a candidate for public office request the use of
a portion of the city park to hold a rally, at which time political speeches would occur, in
conjunction with preparation and serving of food, such as a bbq.
The city parks are open for free public use, pursuant to the original 1914 plat and
park dedication, which use has not been contested by the previous owners, Hamrick
Trust. It has always been the position of the city that the public may request use of park
areas for any legitimate purpose, although permitting commercial use has been a
contested issue from time to time.
In relation to public participation in government, FS 768.295 states in part:
"The intent of the legislature is to protect
the right in Florida to exercise the rights
of free speech in connection with public
issues and the right to peaceably assemble ".
It is my opinion then, that a political candidate may reserve a portion of the park
for holding a political rally, as an absolute right to assemble and exercise free speech as
guaranteed by Amendment 1 of the US Constitution. In accordance with previous
restrictions however, we should prohibit charging fees, or fund raising in the park or
solicitation of campaign funds in this specific instance.

City of Okeechobee that are intended for, and open for use by, the general public, with certain restrictions; and
WHEREAS, these uses change from time to time, and problems arise by certain uses that are not anticipated, but

Page 1 of 2
d. Certain events, such as but not limited to parades, or those which draw a large number of
people, require significant incurring of costs by the City, for traffic control, crowd control, fire safety,
paramedic service, or general policing, which often requires adding personnel, and incurring overtime
labor expense. For any such event, the City may require the organization or permit holder to be
responsible for these additional costs, including property or personal injury damages that may occur
during the event. There will be a mandatory inspection meeting between the Public Works Director or
their designee and a representative from the permit holder prior to and after each event. Any additional
expenses as stated above, will be billed to the organization or permit holder, who shall pay such sum to
the City.
e: For activities in Hagler Park; the use of generators for power is encouraged, as electric outlets are limited
and - subject to the right of the City to deny their use. When generators or extension cords are used, the
applicant shall cause a U.L. approved extension cord of proper gauge to be safely attached, and routed so
as to not interfere with any pedestrian path, or in such area as may pose a risk of harm to the public or
other participants.

W[EEREAS, there are located within th.e City of Okeechobee certain public parks and other areas owned by the
City of Okeechobee that are intended for, and open for use by, the general public, with certain restrictions; and
WHEREAS, these functions range from large gatherings which attract many participants, to very small groups,
which may or may not cause traffic control problems, and vary in intensity; and
WHEREAS, current regulations require the same liability insurance coverage for any such group authorized to
gather in the parks or on city lands, which creates a hardship on the smaller- gatherings;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved and adopted by the City Council for the City of Okeechobee, Horida the
following resolution:
1. TEIAT permission for charitable or benevolent organizations, or non profit groups, to engage in certain
activities in City parks or on City lands, is governed by Article IV, Sections 14 -141 to 14 -149 of the City
Code of Ordinances, which regulations and restrictions shall be considered by General Services whenever an

2. TIEAT for any permit or permission granted by the Department of General Services for such activities on
public lands, such permit shall be also executed by the City Administrator, prior to such event taking place.
3. THAT most applicants for use of parks and public lands are charitable or civic groups, who stage large events
and attract many people. However, smaller groups for prayer meetings; weddings; boy and girl scouting; and
similar type events are also authorized in parks and in public places, but are also subject to the requirements
of Article IV of the City Code.
4. THAT current regulations require the applicant for an event to procure liability insurance in the sure of 1
million; the cost of which is or may be prohibitive for smaller and more informal groups.
5. TIIEREFORE, for any application wherein it appears to the Department of General Services that the
participants thereof may be 100 or fewer persons, the liability insurance requirement shall be waived. The
City reserves the right to require the participants to execute a hold harmless agreement, depending upon the
