A. 2. a) Motion to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance No. 728• III Council Member Watford moved to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance No. 728; seconded by Council Member Oliver. A. 2. b) Discussion. Discussion: Council discussed the exact location and what was located around the property. Attorney Cook advised the only objection to the rezoning was relayed by telephone message. Leon and Caroline Myers owns the duplex across the street and they were concerned about the type of fencing between this project and theirs. The Board considered that, and was assured that as part of the permit and planning process. An appropriate shrub, buffer, hedge or fence of some type would be there to sort of divide the two uses. The application was not specific as to what type of industrial business was proposed for the site. Council had already approved an Industrial Future Land Use Designation on this property in the past, approving this rezoning petition would make both maps consistent. A. 2. c) vote on Motion. VOTE KIRK - YES CHANDLER - YES MARKHAM - YES OLIVER - YES WATFORD - YES MOTION CARRIED. APRIL 6,1999 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 3 OF 7 V. ___j NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. B. Approval of Informal Discussion with Adelphia - City Attorney (Exhibit 4). Attorney Cook addressed the Council stating he was not an expert on the Communications Act, but that he was familiar with it There is a window, in which the City could negotiate with Adelphia (Cable Company) for renewal of the franchise agreement that expires in 2001. He and Administrator Bradshaw had met with Mr. LaCroix (Manager for Time Warner, previous owner of cable company) who indicated they would be happy to start (the renegotiations) and then Mr. LaCroix left and Attorney Cook had not heard anything. He wrote the cable company a letter under the federal act after doing some research, and discovered that the City could initiate the process and set the time deadlines. He did that for March 31 s. The primary reason he did this was the federal legislation that controlled rates on cable television expired March 31" so there is no longer federal controls over rates. In discussing that with Adelphia's attorney in Washington, DC, they of coarse indicated that that does not mean rates are going to go up, but that remains to be seen. What he did was initiate the formal process where public hearings are conducted, see how they perform, see what the community wants. What this letter does, is say that the City is not waving that demand, but we are going to commence discussions on an informal basis, which is permitted under Section 626 of the Act. They will then present a draft franchise agreement, we would review it, suggest changes, it will go back and forth. We will probably have to do a workshop on it someday within the next couple of months. There are some things the City can insist on, one thing he and the Administrator learned was the City's old franchise calls for 3 percent revenues and under the statutes the City can get up to 5 percent, so its going to be an increase in revenue. What this does is initiate the informal process and if that does not work, upon ninety days notice the City an go back and demand the formal process. It does not hurt the City at all and it will speed the renegotiation of the franchise. Council Member Watford moved to approve the letter of March 30,1999 with Adelphia in regards to negotiating the franchise agreement; seconded by Council Member Oliver. Discussion: None.

February 1999 Warrant Registers in the amounts for General Fund $570,484.63 and for Public Facilities Improvement Fund $10,513.34. Mayor Kirk began by stating, as you noticed the agenda is a little different this time and this was not an attempt to change the procedures without the Council's input but by this being done, you can see what it would look like and see if this is the kind of thing you want to do in the future. Keeping in mind that you can pull any item from this for discussion prior to the consent agenda being approved. Council discussed the feasibility of the implementing the consent agenda. The consensus of the Council was not to implement the consent agenda at this time and they would address the items one at a time. Council Member Chandler moved to approve the Summary of Council Action for March 16,1999 Regular Meeting; seconded by Council Member Oliver. Discussion: None.

Discussion: Council Member Watford noted the bid price was under the amount budgeted. He then asked what phones was this replacing? Administrator Bradshaw replied it was all the phones in City Hall, the basic strategy is probably not to hire another person at this time but use this as the key board operator. Mayor Kirk asked if there was voice mail at each station. Council Member Watford commented, so when we make this decision then, this is the decision to do that. Council Member Markham asked if the new system could transfer calls to the police and fire departments. Discussion ensued. Mayor Kirk stated to the Administrator it is clear from discussion that the motion is contingent upon the fact that we can expand this system to tie in with the police and fire department buildings to transfer calls.

Harden, Owner, David E. Goolsby, Agent and Realtor Lots 1 to 12, inclusive Block 71, CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, according to the Plat thereof recorded in Plat Book 1, Page 10, Public Records of Okeechobee, Florida. Item before the Council: The matter for consideration by the City Council and the Land Planning Agency is an application by Monica. D. Harden, Owner and David E. Goolsby, Agent/Realtor, for a change in zoning, for the above described property, from Residential Multi -Family (RG-2) to Industrial (I). Background: The subject property is approximately 2 acres. Property boundaries are as follows: NW 7' Street to the north, NW 6' Street to the south, NW 7' Avenue to the west, and NW 6' Avenue to the east. The existing surrounding uses include vacant land to the north, the County jail to the south, a few single family residential homes to the east, and Sprint United Telephone Company to the west. Most of the roads are improved with the exception of NW 7' Avenue. Approximately two years ago, the owner requested a land use amendment on the subject property from Multi -family to Industrial. The application at the time qualified as a "Small - Scale Amendment" and was approved as such. Consistency with Land When recommending whether to rezone a classification of Development Regulations: land, the factors that the Planning Board shall consider include, where applicable, whether or not: The Proposed Change Is Contrary to the Established Land Use Pattern. The established land use patterns include industrial, public, and residential uses. The subject property appears to be consistent with the higher intensity uses because of its proximity to the railroad. -1- Staff Report Petition No. 99-001-R 2. The Proposed Change Would Create an Isolated District Unrelated to Adjacent and Nearby Districts. The Industrial zoning classification would not create an isolated district. In fact, the property immediately west of the subject property is zoned Industrial. By amending the zoning, this would allow for further consistency with the established development pattern. The Proposed Change would materially alter the population density pattern and thereby increase or overtax the load on public facilities such as schools, utilities, streets, etc. The proposed change would not have an impact on the population density or surrounding schools. Level of Service (LOS) capacities were calculated for public utilities and were found to be adequate to serve the development when built. As stated earlier most of the streets are improved with the exception of NW 7d` Avenue. Therefore, as part of the development review process, the applicant may be required to participate in the improvement of 7' Avenue, if the proposed development causes the adopted LOS to drop. 4. Existing District Boundaries Are Illogically Drawn in Relation to Existing Conditions on the Property Proposed for Change. The existing district boundaries are not illogically drawn. 5. The Proposed Change Would Be Contrary to the Proposed Land Use Plan and Would Have an Adverse Effect on the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed change is consistent with the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The applicant amended the FLUM two years ago to ensure consistency -2- s Staff Report Petition No. 99-001-R 6. Changed or Changing Conditions Make the Passage of the Proposed Amendment Necessary. The City of Okeechobee is experiencing growth and the FLUM for the City indicates that much of the industrial development is to occur along the railroad. As the City continues to grow it will be necessary to make zoning changes to accommodate the industrial growth that is compatible with uses in the surrounding area. Therefore, it is logical that the subject property is proposing industrial development adjacent to properties currently classified as industrial. 7. The Proposed Change Will Adversely Influence Living Conditions in the Neighborhood The proposed change will not have an adverse impact on the nearby industrial and public uses. It may have an impact on the adjacent residential uses. To minimize the impact to residential properties, the applicant will be required to meet the non-residential landscape buffer standards. 8. The Proposed Change Will Create or Excessively Increase Traffic Congestion or Otherwise Affect Public Safety. The proposed change and subsequent uses on the property can be designed to allow proper ingress and egress onto NW 7a' Street and NW a Street. 9. The Proposed Change Will Create a Drainage Problem. The proposed zoning change and subsequent development will not create a drainage problem. The site has adequate drainage. 10. The Proposed Change Will Seriously Reduce Light and Air to Adjacent Areas. Required buffering will not reduce light or air to adjacent properties. -3- Staff Report Petition No. 99-001-R 11. The Proposed Change Will Adversely Affect Property Values in the Adjacent Area. The proposed change will not adversely affect property values in the area. 12. The Proposed Change Will Be a Deterrent to the Improvement or Developed of Adjacent Property in Accord with Existing Regulations. Since the property is located in an area suitable for industrial uses, there will be no negative impact on similarly zoned properties. For the existing residentially zoned properties landscape buffers will be required. 13. The Proposed Change Will Constitute a Grant of Special Privilege to an Individual Owner as Contrasted with the Public Welfare. The proposed change will not grant a special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with public welfare. The size of the proposed change along with the existing site plan regulations can ensure that the public welfare is not diminished. 14. There Are Substantial Reasons Why the Property Cannot Be Used in Accord with Existing Zoning. The existing zoning would not allow the proposed use as desired by the property holder so the rezoning is necessary. 15. Whether the Change Suggested Is Out of Scale with the Needs of the Neighborhood or the City. The proposed change is not out of scale with the needs of the City. 16. It Is Impossible to Find Other Adequate Sites in the City for the Proposed Use in Districts Already Permitting Such Use. The proposed change is necessary to allow industrial development as proposed. -4- 0 • Staff Report Petition No. 99-001-R Consistency with The subject property is designated Industrial on the adopted Comprehensive Plan: City of Okeechobee Future Land Use Map. As such, the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Assessment and Conclusions: Based upon the above zoning criteria being met, the rezoning request should be recommended as it is consistent with the existing Comprehensive Plan. Submitted by: James G.

City Attorney City of Okeechobee 55 S. E. Third Avenue Okeechobee, FL 34974-2932 Re: Letter of March 9, 1999 Dear Mr. Cook: This will respond to your letter of March 9 in which you acknowledged the commencement of renewal proceedings under Section 626 of the Communications Act, 47 USC §546. That letter expressed concern that the time lines set forth in Section 626(b) of the Act required the City to establish a formal renewal proposal submission date of March 31 in order to comply with the statutory procedural requirements. As you are aware, Section 626(h) of the Act allows the parties to engage in parallel informal discussions to renew the franchise which can be far less time consuming and costly than the formal process. As mentioned during our conversation last week, Adelphia looks forward to sitting down with you and informally discussing the terms of a renewed franchise agreement. To give the informal process a chance to bear fruit, both parties hereby agree that the formal procedures will be held in abeyance during our informal discussions, and that the time periods for all procedural requirements contained in subsections (a) through (g) of Section 626, shall be tolled without prejudice to either party while the formal process is held in abeyance. Each party shall continue to reserve all of their respective rights relating to the formal procedures in the event that the informal negotiations are not successful. At any time, but upon no less than ninety (90) days' written notice to the other party, either party may end the above -referenced tolling provisions and recommence the formal procedures contained in the subsections (a) through (g) of Section 626 of the Act, including ascertainment hearings, a preliminary determination of renewal, or non -renewal detailing the reasons for the action, the establishment of requirements for facilities and equipment that the City expects to be delivered in a renewed franchise, an indication of the community cable - related needs and interests to which a renewal proposal should respond, and a completion of administrative hearings considering factors set forth in the Act. Equal Opportunity Employer .f John R. Cook, Esq. March 30, 1999 Page 2 Please countersign and return one of the copies of this letter agreement to me at your earliest convenience. We look forward to completing this process with you and will be providing a draft renewal agreement to you shortly to move the informal process along. Very truly yours, ADELPMA B G.( ( Mirk P.

Thank you again, and we look forward to working with you. Respectfully Submitted, John Meissner • City of Okeechobee Telephone Specifications Please revise your phone system proposal with the following guidelines: The telephone system should be a digital system expandable to a minimum of 100 ports for future expansion. Auto attendant and voice mail are required with at least 4 ports and 30 hours storage. The voice mail system should also be expandable. This system should include a port -a -system surge protector and telephone line protection for 12 telephone lines with delta modules. Back-up battery for power failures should be included to keep the system in operation for a 2 hour period. The system configuration at time of installation should be for 12 c.o. lines and 24 stations. Telephone station equipment should be 18 key telephones with Icd display with speakerphones and one 36 button busy lamp field with programmable buttons for operator position. Listed below are other system features and station features we would like to have. Should your system not have this feature, please indicate that and offer an alternative feature that is comparable to it and explain how it differs. Should your system have standard features that are not listed below please list them and explain what they do: SYSTEM FEATURES: ALL CALL VOICE PAGE. Users can page all internal and all external paging zones at the same time. ATTENTION TONE. To get your attention, a brief tone precedes all page announcements and intercom voice calls. AUTO ATTENDANT. Answers all incoming calls to city hall. Gives the caller the option of entering the extension number if they know it and get connected with that station immediately. If the person does not know the extension number, it then gives a list of options to press specific numbers to get a specific office (ie: for the city clerk and personnel office press one, for city administrator press two, etc.). Gives option to hold and be connected to the operator. Once they are connected to a specific station if the person does not answer or the line is busy it gives them option to hang up and try again later, leave a message on that stations voice mail or return to the main menu options. AUTOMATIC HOLD. While a keyset user is engaged on an outside call, pressing another outside line, paging or intercom button automatically places the call on hold. BACKGROUND MUSIC. Keyset users may choose to hear music through their keyset speakers. Each user may adjust the volume level. CALL FORWARDING.
