OPEN SECOND PUBLIC HEARING FOR COMMUNITY BLOCK GRANT MAYOR PRO-TEM WATFORD OPENED THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - Mayor. 11 BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM AT 6:05 P.M. 12oMARCH 20, 2001 -REGULAR MEETING -PAGE 3 OF9 VII. SECOND PUBLIC HEARING FOR CDBG PROGRAM CONTINUED. A.1.a) Discuss the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Ms. Nancy Phillips of Nancy Phillips and Associates, Grant Administrator, informed those present aboutthe Community Economic Development Category Application for FFY 2001 - Nancy Development Block Grant (CDBG) Economic Development Category Application for FFY 2001. Ms. Phillips stated Phillips, Grant Administrator (Exhibit 1). that the City should recall the application that was submitted for the FFY 2000, and the letter of reservation was provided to the City with a March 26 h deadline date for us to be able to fully award FFY 2000 of the Grant to the City. She stated that as of this afternoon at approximately 3:30 p.m. it has been determined that we will not be able to take advantage of the letter of reservation that was provided to the City and we do in fact need to reapply for 2001 funds.' So this is the second public hearing for that endeavor. The grant will be sent to Tallahassee by March the 29' and', basically the City will be making application for up to six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000.00); Water facilities will be two hundred seventy two thousand, one hundred fifty dollars ($272,150.00); Fire Protection will be sixteen thousand, two hundred dollars ($16,200.00); Sewerfacilities will be two hundred sixty three thousand, six hundred fifty dollars($263,650.00); Grant Administration will be forty eight thousand dollars ($48,000.00) for a total of six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000.00). Sheffield Environmental Services will be creating eighteen full time new jobs, ten of which will be made available to low and moderate income people of the community, and they are also leveraging $1.5' Million dollars of their proposed construction for points in the application, the FFY 2001 application scores a total of 686.07 out of a possible 1000 points. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford inquired whether there were questions or comments from the public. There were none. Ms. Phillips responded to Council's questions stating that 686 points was good. The City has to score a minimum of four hundred points in order to be considered for funding, there were a couple of changes in scoring from 2000 to 2001. The City was awarded on February 26 the Enterprise Florida Economic Development Transportation Grant for one million, one hundred twenty five thousand dollars ($1,125,000.00) and I was able to take points for that in the application, increasing the points from the last grant application. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford asked how do we stand with Sheffield, are they moving along? Ms. Phillips stated that they are moving along and Mr. Veach should hear back from them soon regarding the participating party agreement that is required to be executed. The State, is aware we might be doing this, by rolling the application over and they have said as long as we do not make major changes to the project that they can site visit it hopefully within the first three weeks of April, so by them doing that we should get a really quick turn around and if we have the participating party agreement all worked out and it is ready to be executed that gives us the time to do that and hopefully when they come down to do the site visit we can give that document back to them to take back. MARCH 20, 2001 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 4 OF 9 " " VII. SECOND PUBLIC HEARING FOR CDBG PROGRAM CONTINUED. A.1.a) Discuss the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Ms. Phillips advised that the City was notified that Sheffield has secured finance for the project. However, she has not Economic Development Category Application for FFY 2001 been provided that information, therefore because she does not have that information and the deadline to receive that Continued. is 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 26" that is the reason we are going forward with the 2001. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford inquired who assured Ms. Phillips that they had that information? Ms. Phillips stated that we are waiting for notification from their bond council and until we get that in writing from their bond council the application remains incomplete. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford inquired whether there were additional questions from the Council. Council Member Chandler asked whether if there will be any repercussions on our delay or not finishing up this grant? Ms. Phillips answered for the 2000 grant application we have until March 26" at 5:00 p.m. to what the State refers to as "making that project whole." She drafted a letter that the Mayor has signed that will be overnighted to the State advising them that we are not finishing up that particular grant application and we will be turning the project over into a 2001 grant application and as long as we notify them within the sixty day time period and we have not drawn down any funds, which we have not, there is no repercussions to the City. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford questioned is it just us or is this kind of a common thing about how these things progress or is it just this particular project, because we have not done one of these before? Ms. Phillips responded that it is not uncommon in Economic Development Grants for them to come together and take a few step backwards and then come together again this is not at all uncommon and we just have to get all the elements in line so that when we take it back again in 2001 that we are sure that we have a good project and we think that we have that now. The Citizen's Advisory Task Force met last Tuesday, March 13" and some of their concerns were regarding the traffic impact on Highway 441 North. That same issue was brought up in part of the Governor's clearing house comments that came back, with the traffic study that has to be done as part of the permitting process. Council Member Williams inquired whether the City would receive any additional points for being an "Area of Critical Concern." Not in CDBG, that is something they might look to be changing because that designation was only given to a couple of communities in the State but Ms. Phillips will go back and check. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford stated since he heard no objections the Council is in favor of continuing with the grant process and there are no objections. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING - Mayor.

NEW BUSINESS. A. Discussion on Fair Housing Workshop for Elected Officials - Nancy Ms. Nancy Phillips of Nancy Phillips and Associates, Grant Administrator, informed those present about the Fair Phillips, Grant Administrator. Housing Workshop for Elected Officials. Ms. Phillips stated as you recall in the CDBG application we received points for holding a workshop on Fair Housing for elected officials. Fair housing is a choice that every American has a right to. They have a right to live where they would like to live and to raise a family and to own a home in dignity and without fear of discrimination. Fair Housing means the ability for persons with similar income levels regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, familial status, to have available to them the same housing choices. Fair Housing is a right that is protected by State and Federal Laws. It means that an individual may freely choose to live where they choose to live. The Fair Housing Act also protects people with known physical disabilities as well as mental disabilities, sometimes we do not often realize that an individual might have a mental disability because we cannot visibly see that, however, you should all be aware that this is protected under the Fair Housing Act. Discrimination is rarely blatant. It usually occurs when individuals are attempting to either rent an apartment, rent a house, or to purchase a home. These are the things that the City, when they participate in a Community Development Block Grant Program, states that they will further Fair Housing in their Community and if individuals are discriminated against all they have to do is come to the city and file a complaint with the City Administrator who in turn will get in touch with HUD National level and they will take a complaint in writing. /30 MARCH 20, 2001 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 7 OF 9 DL NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Discussion on Fair Housing Workshop for Elected Officials Ms. Phillips further stated that in October of 1990 the City adopted a Fair Housing Ordinance (No. 633) that covers the Continued. seven protected classes. Again this ordinance prohibits the discrimination in the sale or rental of housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familial status. As your CDBG Grant consultant, again if there is a Fair Housing complaint I would be more than happy to come help work through that on behalf of the City and as we get further into the CDBG program for the upcoming year I will be working with the City as well as the Citizen's Advisory Task Force on how to affirmatively further Fair Housing. Mayor Pro-Tem Watford opened the floor for public discussion and asked for public comments. With no comments from the public for discussion the City Council opened with their comments, he wanted to make sure this would meet all of our requirements. Ms. Phillips assured him it did. B. Tom Bubb's resignation from Independent Inspections and Mr. Ken Badke, of Independent Inspections, addressed the Council regarding City Building Inspector Mr. Tom Bubb's discussion regarding his replacement - Ken Badke. resignation. Mr. Badke stated that Independent Inspections has received ten applications but, none of which are qualified nor looked to be qualified in the near future. He stated, however, that they have found a local man who may be willing to take this position. Council had questions about the person, and what the worst case scenario was. Mr. Bubb has indicated he would remain in the position until we fill it. Mr. Badke stated thatthis local person he had talked to was qualified and, he may benefit the Okeechobee account with being local and living in the area in case of an emergency situation that may arise he would be able to take care of it right away. The worst case scenario would be if they do not find someone, he (Ken Badke) will come twice a week for sixty days to maintain the existing projects until present work is cleared. C., Motion to award the contract for the Police Station furniture to Council Member Oliver moved to award the contract for the Police Station furniture to Office Products and Services, Office Products & Services, Inc. in the amount of $29,184.82 - City Inc. in the amount of twenty nine thousand, one hundred eighty four dollars and eighty two cents ($29,184.82); Administrator (Exhibit 3). 1 seconded by Council Member Williams.

Discussion on Homeless Ordinance - City Attorney. E. Motion to adopt Resolution No. 01-4 regarding authorization for the filing of the 2001 Florida Small Cities Community Development Block Grant - City Administrator (Exhibit 4). VOTE KIRK - ABSENT CHANDLER - YEA OLIVER - YEA WATFORD - YEA WILLIAMS - YEA MOTION CARRIED. Attorney Cook stated that the title on the Agenda was not accurate, it is not just for the homeless. He stated it is directed at citizen conduct within the City. He has spoken with the Police Chief Davis regarding this issue, since he will be the one to enforce this Ordinance, and it is going to be hard to determine how to enforce the proposed Ordinance or a similar Ordinance. For example if someone were to fall asleep during a parade, they would be in violation and that is not who we are intending this (Ordinance) towards. He and Chief Davis have come to the conclusion that the proposed Ordinance would be too hard to enforce. He stated that the Police Department has been making their presence heavier in the Park and it seems to be having a positive effect on this issue. The amount of complaints has been lowered considerably to the point of nonexistence. He stated he feels this is not an issue any more at this time but, when it does start to become an issue again they will address it then. Council Member Oliver moved to adopt proposed Resolution No. 01-4; seconded by Council Member Williams. City Attorney Cook read proposed Ordinance No. 766 by title only as follows: "A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE'S FISCAL YEAR 2001 FLORIDA SMALL CITIES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS" 131 MARCH 20, 2001 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 9 OF 9 DC NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED.

Discussion on approving an amendment to the Pension Ordinance Attorney Cook addressed the Council regarding a proposed amendmentto the General Employee's Pension Plan. The to accommodate the City Administrator. 11 amendment is necessary due to the Administrator opting to participate in the ICMA Pension Plan. X. ADJOURN MEETING -Mayor. 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. t ATTEST: Dowling R. Wa rd,Jr., Mayor Pro-Tem Bonnie S. Thomas, CMC, City Clerk There was some discussion from the Council about whether or not the City Administrator is on the City's Pension Plan right now, what happens to the old Resolution, and whether or not the Council would like for the Pension Board Attorney to work up language for the City Administrator's new Pension Plan, if that indeed was the direction that Council wanted to go. Council agreed to amending the General Employee Pension Plan ordinance for the Administrator only; and instructed the City Attorney to contact Pension Board Attorney Christiansen to draw up an Ordinance amendment to accomplish the necessary changes which will allow the City Administrator to opt out of the City General Employee Pension Plan and join his own plan (with ICMA) through payroll deduction.

Lamb and Michelle Connelly (Applicants) Fawn Timko (Owner) 1306 SW 2nd Avenue Okeechobee, Florida 34974 Lots 3 and 4, Block 21, SOUTH OKEECHOBEE, according to the plat thereof recorded in Plat Book 5, page 7 of the public records of Okeechobee County, Florida. Item before the Council: The matter for consideration by the City Council, acting as the Land Planning Agency for the City of Okeechobee, is an application by Robin Lamb and Michelle Connelly, for a change in zoning from City of Okeechobee Residential Single -Family to City of Okeechobee Residential Multi -Family. The property has a Future Land Use Map designation of Single -Family. The applicant has also submitted a separate request for a Small -Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Future Land Use designation from Single -Family to Multi -Family. The subject property is approximately 0.32 acre(s). The applicant intends to develop the property as a day care facility. This development will have public utilities and the adjoining property uses are as follows: North: Residential Single Family South: Residential Single Family East: Commercial West: Residential Single Family When recommending whether or not to rezone a classification of land, the Planning Board shall consider, where applicable, the following factors: The proposed use is not contrcny to Comprehensive Plan requirements. The subject property is located in a transition area. Bounded on the north, south, and west by single-family uses, and on the east by commercial uses. Use of the property as multi -family or a day care facility is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. However, the applicant is also requesting a Future Land Use Map change from Single -Family to Multi -Family, which will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff Report Robinette Lamb/Michelle Connelly Rezoning Request Petition No. 01-001-R 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized tinder the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. As stated earlier, the applicant intends use the property for a day care facility. This proposed use is allowed as a Special Exception on property classified as Multi - Family Residential on the City of Okeechobee Official Zoning Map. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. If this rezoning request is granted, public interest will not be adversely affected. Either multi -family or a day-care facility will provide needed services to the community. 4. The use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. 5 I 7 9 As mentioned, the property is bordered on three sides by residential uses with the commercial uses on the other. The proposed the zoning with the special exception will relate well with surrounding land uses. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. The subject property has an existing stricture in which the applicant intends to use for the day care facility, which should have no appreciable impacts to the adjacent property. The proposed itse can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood. With the proposed rezoning, the property must meet the City's landscaping requirements to provide suitable buffering. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. The number of kitchens and bathrooms should remain constant. Their expected increase in use will not overburden facilities. However, the may be a slight increase in traffic depending on the hours of operation and the arrival and departure of students. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public saferl. Staff Report Robinette Lamb/Michelle Connelly Rezoning Request Petition No. 01-001-R 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. The restrictions placed on this project are identical to those for similar uses. 10. The proposed change will not constitute a grant ofspecial privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. The change in zoning will not create a unique property in the neighborhood. Therefore, there will be no special privilege. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated Single Family on the adopted City of Okeecliobee Future Land Use Map. The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi -Family. As such, the proposed use will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Assessment and Conclusions: Based on the above Rezoning criteria being met and subject to the requested Future Land Use amendment being consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, this request should be approved, as it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations in force at time of application.
