d. Vote on Motion.
NOVEMBER 7, 1995 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 3 OF 7
Attorney Cook advised that this ordinance amending the Future Land Use Map is a
Small Scale Amendment. The application was completed by Gerald Lefebvre and is a
redesignation from Multi -Family to Commercial on Lots 1 to 3, Block 125, City of
Okeechobee. The Land Planning Agency found the application to be in compliance with
the Comprehensive Plan. He also advised that the laws had changed on the Small
Scale Amendment Process and that an ordinance can be read and adopted in the same
meeting and they are basically "rubber stamped° by the Department of Community
Affairs (DCA). However, this ordinance was advertised for two public hearings and since
you have to do the minimum the law requires, but can do more than the law requires
this ordinance will have two hearings, the second set for November 21, 1995 as
advertised.

NOVEMBER 7, 1995 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 4 OF 7
Mayor Kirk asked if there were any questions or comments from the Public. There were
none.
Attorney Cook advised that this application for Future Land Use Map Amendment was
completed by Farm Credit of Southwest Florida, Ervin O. Rucks and Allen Rucks. The
redesignation request is for Industrial from Single Family and concerned all the Lots in
Blocks 1 through 10 of the Northwest Addition. The application is different from all the
other applications the Council has considered. Due to it's size it will not fall under the
Small Scale Amendment Process but requires a more formal procedure. Tonight the
Council will be passing for transmittal and sending the ordinance to DCA. Once they
review it and send it back the City has sixty days to hold a final public hearing for
adoption. The Land Planning Agency found the application to be in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan.

5. Discuss Building and Zoning - Mayor Kirk (Exhibit 5). On October 25, 1995 the City Council held a special meeting and approved an interlocal
agreement between the City and County concerning the building department. In Exhibit
Five is a letter from County Administrator Long explaining that the County Commission
voted in opposition of the proposed interlocal agreement thereby giving the entire
department back to the City beginning January 1, 1996 unless some other agreement
is met.
Mayor Kirk opened the floor for discussion concerning the building and zoning
department.
Councilmember Watford asked what are our options, take it all back or give it all and
pay thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000)? Attorney Cook responded yes.
Council discussed what happened at the County meeting and in which direction the City
should proceed. Mayor Kirk suggested the Council instruct Administrator Drago to
proceed with setting up a department. Council agreed. Councilmember Oliver urged that
a letter be sent to the County and ask what specifics they want, let them write an
interlocal they will pass and have it brought to us at the next meeting with all the
information and amounts it is going to take to set the department up. Council agreed
that was a good direction to take. Mayor Kirk suggested the letter to the County
Administrator be hand delivered.

RE: Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement Serf ces
Dear John:
This letter shall serve to advise you that the Board of County Co missioners, meeting in
regular session on October 26, 1995, voted 3 - 2 in opposition of the proposed interlocal
agreement which separated planning and general code enforcer ient administration from
building code administration with regard to properties vvithi 1 the City. The Board
determined that services which are as interrelated as Ian ing and building code
administration should be performed by a single entity a d, tat separation of these
services would result in a system that is unnecessarily cumbersome for its users.
The Board did, however, agree to extend the existing i' terl cal agreement through
December 31, 1995. Effective January 1, 1996, absentia new interlocal agreement
providing otherwise, the County will cease performance of such services for properties
within the corporate limits of the City.
As you are aware, the most significant issue relating to the xis ing interlocal agreement
is inconsistency as it relates to interpretation and application oft e City's Comprehensive
Plan and Land Development Regulations. Inconsistency undermines the legal defensibility
of these local policies and, most recently, led to disputes among staff concerning the
proposed Wal-Mart development. This is not an issue al out ultimate control of the
policies themselves, such control obviously rests with the Cif Y. T is is an issue about the
County's lack of authority over matters for which it is both acco ntal_g and liable.
The working group identified a number of possibilities that coul shape a new interlocal
agreement to address the County's concerns about accoun abil ty and liability, the City's
concerns about inflexible interpretation and application of it reg lations, as well as cost -

effectiveness of the system, convenience to the publ'
intergovernmental coordination. If the City wishes to reconsider
that the Board is still amenable to development of a workably
affords the County the authority, in addition to the responsibil,
Comprehensive Plan and LDR's. However, I do not believe thati
to extension(s) of the current agreement beyond Decemb4
agreement that "splits" these duties and responsibilities.
If I can assist you in any manner or, if you would like to discuss h
please don't hesitate to let me know.
