Council Member O'Connor moved to approve an Interlocal Agreement between the City
of Okeechobee and Okeechobee County for Building Construction and Planning
Services; seconded by Council Member Watford.
Council Member Watford began discussion by stating that this looks like it is a "stop gap"
thing, just to make sure we have a smooth transition. It appears that the City will receive
the fees for any permits that the County Planning and Developement Department gives
the City to finish; and that appears to be pretty well spelled out in the agreement.
Administrator Drago confirmed that if the County turns the permit over to the City, they
will turn the fees that they collect over to the City also. Council Member Watford
continued that he noticed in here that, this is no particular logistical problem about the
City going by the County fee structure, it is okay to do this. Administrator Drago
responded correct.

JANUARY 30, 1996 - SPECIAL MEETING - PAGE 2 OF 2
Council Member Watford asked Administrator Drago to explain the short term projects
time table. Administrator Drago responded that if somebody comes in and wants a re-
roofing permit, we do not want that person to be held up for a week, so we issue the
permit and they should be able to get a roof on in a couple of days. Council Member
Watford interjected, but if it is anything longer than that, if it cannot be completed by April
1 st then it will take longer to get the permit, Administrator Drago agreed.
Attorney Cook advised the Council that once this is passed, at the next regular meeting,
Council may expect to see an ordinance directed to the Land Planning Agency in the
establishment of whatever board the City is going to need, Board of Adjustment and
Appeals, and that he was still working on that.
Mayor Kirk asked if anyone in the audience had any questions or comments, there were
none therefore he called for a vote on the motion:

There being no further items on the agenda, Mayor Kirk adjourned the meeting at 8:34
