balance? Administrator Drago responded yes. He asked if the police salaries included
the new "beat cop" position. Administrator Drago responded yes. He continued that this
year's expenditures are increased 2.96% from last year's expenditures.
Council Member Oliver asked for Administrator Drago to explain the two thousand dollar
salary increases. Administrator Drago explained that in 1987 the Council approved a pay
plan that defined a separation between department head salaries and employee salaries
and the last two years the City has not been able to address the separation, this puts the
pay plan back in order.
Council also discussed that the radio and computer equipment was not set out in the Fire
Department budget but still left in the Police Department budget. Administrator Drago
explained that when the equipment is purchased it will be charged to the correct Fire
Department line item to show it as an expenditure in the Fire Department.

later to hire the officer or not. Administrator Drago advised that the Council could do that.
Council Member O'Connor stated that the people who he spoke with were not under the
impression that we were going to use current personnel. Mayor Kirk suggested that
Chief Mobley give the Council a presentation at the next budget public hearing
conceming what he intends to do with this additional police officer.
Sue Osterman addressed the Council stating that she thought the downtown officer was
a good idea and that many people did think that the money was already there for the
position.
Mark Treadle addressed the Council commenting that he too was under the impression
that the money was there but that did not bother him because he felt it was such a good
idea and would help with the vandalism of the downtown area.

Attorney Cook explained to the Council that at the April 3, 1996 meeting the Council
discussed a request from Mr. George Murphy to purchase a piece of City property beside
his home. During research and title work, Staff found there was a clause in the deed
when the City purchased the property from Roger Jones that he retains the right of first
option to buy should the City cease to use the property any longer. There is also an
easement held by the Army Corp of Engineers leaving approximately a sixty foot piece
of property that would only be profitable to Mr. Murphy.
Mr. Jones has released his right of first option to buy. Attorney Cook requested
instruction from the Council to proceed with selling the land to Mr. Murphy. Following
discussion between Council and staff, Council instructed Attorney Cook to draw up
all appropriate documents to sell the land to Mr. Murphy after he researched and
was certain the City did not have to bid this out, and bring back for Council
approval.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council DATE: August 30, 1996
SUBJECT: Status Report
FROM: John J. Drago, City Administrator
1. Enclosed is a copy of a letter from the local cable company.
2. As you can see, we are making some improvements to City Hall. We intend to
remove the palm trees along the front walkway and replace them with flower planting
beds. We also intend to install a new lawn, new landscaping and paint the building.
3. It has come to my attention that the City may have signed documents compelling the
City to continue paying the paying agent fees for new bond issues that the OUA
issued. I've sent information to Mr. William Zvara to ascertain if the City is bound to
the Agreement.
4. 80% of the downtown survey work is completed. The architect is now beginning his
design work for the storefronts on Park Street.
5. The City won a $4,645 Emergency Vehicle Exhaust Extraction System. The system
does not include an exhaust fan or installation. This is a useful system to exhaust
diesel fumes when the new fire truck is placed in service.

1bfr,a"r,
It's official! Cablevision Industries (CVI) has a new name — Time Warner Cable. On September 1, our name
change iscomplete.
I thought you might want to know a few of the things we have done to inform our customers, so that the
transition is smooth for them.
(1) We sent a newsletter -style piece that was enclosed in our customer's September bills that mentions
our name change and also details many required notifications to our c u Comers.
(2) We have run and continue to run 1 television spot to introduce our new name
(3) We have changed our telephone message ahead oftime to explain the name change.
(4) We are running print advertisements in the Okeechobee News.
(5) We released information on a timely basis to our local media
(6) And, last but not least, we have timed the entire name change so that all aspects of our business
change at the same time, everything from trucks and uniforms to stationery and customer
installation packet.
As always, I just want to keep you updated and informed. If you have any questions or comments, please feel
free to call me at 941-763-5566.
