WHEREAS, the City Council desires to protect and preserve the unique character of the City of Okeechobee as a family oriented attraction for families, tourists and businesses; and WHEREAS, failure of the City to ensure that adult entertainment activities and sexually oriented business are appropriately regulated would adversely impact the City insomuch as the City is a local government jurisdiction that is very family oriented and encourages economic and tourism development; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the provisions contained herein are the most reasonable and minimal restrictions required so as to regulate conduct which is or could be adverse to public order, health, safety, morals and welfare within the City of Okeechobee; and WHEREAS, the passage of this Ordinance is necessary to preserve the basic character of the City of Okeechobee; and WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City Council to establish reasonable and uniform regulations that will protect the health, safety, peace, morals, and general welfare of all the people of the City of Okeechobee, Florida. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE HEREBY ORDAINS: SECTION ONE. The City of Okeechobee Code of Ordinances is hereby amended by amending Chapter 11, Article III Section 11-51 through Section 11.59 which said chapter shall read as follows: ARTICLE III. ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS Section 11.51. Title. This Ordinance shall be known and may be cited as the "Adult Entertainment Code." Section 11.52. Authority. This Code is enacted under the home rule power of the City of Okeechobee in the interest of the health, safety, peace, and general welfare of the people of the City of Okeechobee and under the authority of the City to regulate the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages under the Twenty -First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Section 11.53. Purpose. It is the purpose of this chapter to regulate adult entertainment businesses to promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Okeechobee, and to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the deleterious effects of location and concentration of adult entertainment businesses within the City. The provisions of this ordinance have neither the purpose or intent of imposing a limitation or restriction on the content of any communicative materials, including sexually oriented materials, or other aspects of constitutionally protected speech. it is not the intent of the City Council to legislate with respect to matters of obscenity, as those matters are regulated by federal and state law. Similarly, it is not the intent or effect of this Chapter to restrict or deny access by adults to sexually oriented materials protected by the First Amendment or to deny access by the distributors and exhibitors of adult oriented material to their intended market. Neither is it the intent or effect of this ordinance to condone or legitimize the distribution of obscene material. Page 1 of 23 LJ Section 11.54. Findings of Fact. LJ Okeechobee County has considered evidence and testimony presented at public hearings before the Okeechobee County Planning Board and the County Commission, and based upon the findings incorporated in studies conducted by other governmental units, including but not limited to, the following studies prepared by other jurisdictions: Statistical synopsis of police calls to adult entertainment businesses (Stuart, Martin County, Florida,1993); Statistical synopsis of police response calls to adult entertainment businesses in St. Lucie County (1993); Correspondence by Florida State University Professor, Margaret A. Baldwin, Esq., as testimony on scholarly research regarding an adult business, (Tallahassee, Florida,1993); "Report on Adult Oriented Businesses in Austin," Texas (1985); "Adult Entertainment Businesses in Indianapolis, an Analysis," Indiana (1984); "The Impact of Adult Entertainment Centers on the Community of Tampa, Florida," (1982); "Study of the Effects of the Concentration of Adult Entertainment Establishments in the County of Los Angeles," California (1977); and findings of the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Department and the State Attorney's office detailing the secondary effects of and the potential for criminal activities associated with adult uses. The County further relies upon the findings incorporated in County of Renton v. Playtime Theaters, Inc., 475 U.S. 41,106 S.Ct. 925, 89 L.Ed. 2d 29 (1986); Young v. American Mini -Theaters, Inc., 427 U.S. 50, 96 S.Ct. 2440, 49 L.Ed. 2d 310 (1975); Bonnell, Inc. v. Board of Adjustments, 791 P.2d 107 (Oki. App.1989), and has considered such other public input, research, and legal analysis which the City Council relies upon and believes to be relevant to problems associated with adult uses. The City determines that the enactment of a time, place, and manner ordinance regulating and addressing the adverse secondary effects of adult entertainment uses is an appropriate exercise of the City's home rule power in the interest of the health, peace, safety, morals, and general welfare of the people of the City of Okeechobee, Florida. Specifically, the City Council finds and determines, based upon the foregoing, as follows: (A) Sexually oriented activities, including the sale of adult entertainment material and nude, semi-nude or topless dancing gives rise to prostitution, pandering, solicitation for prostitution, lewd behavior, exposing minors to harmful materials, possession, distribution, and transportation of obscene materials, sale or possession of controlled substances and violent crimes against persons or property; (B) When the sexual activities described in Subsection (A) are actively marketed in commercial establishments, they tend to attract an undesirable number of transients, blight neighborhoods, adversely affect neighboring businesses, lower real property values, promote the particular crimes described above, and ultimately force residents and businesses to move to other locations; (C) The activities described in Subsection (A) above often occur in establishments concurrent with the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages, which concurrence leads to a further increase in criminal activity, unsafe activity, and disturbances of the peace and order of the surrounding community and creates additional hazards to the health and safety of customers and workers and further depreciates the value of adjoining real property harming the economic welfare of the surrounding community and adversely effecting the quality of life, commerce, and community environment; (D) In order to preserve and safeguard the health, safety, property values, and general welfare of the people, businesses and industries of the City, it is necessary and advisable for the City to regulate the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages at adult entertainment establishments; (E) In order to preserve and safeguard the health, safety, property values, and general welfare of the people of the City, it is necessary and advisable for the City to regulate the conduct of owners, managers, operators, agents, workers, entertainers, performers, and customers at adult entertainment establishments; (F) The potential dangers to the health, safety, property values, and general welfare of the people of the City posed by allowing adult entertainment establishments to operate without first meeting the requirements for obtaining a permit under this Code are so great as to require the permitting of such establishments prior to their being authorized to operate; (G) Requiring operators of adult entertainment establishments to keep records of information concerning workers and certain recent past workers will help reduce the incidence of certain types of criminal behavior by facilitating the identification of potential witnesses or suspects, expediting the investigation of the transmission of certain communicable and social diseases, and by making it difficult for minors to work in such establishments; (H) Prohibiting adult entertainment establishments from operating within certain distances of educational institutions, religious institutions, residences, libraries, areas zoned or designated for residential use, parks, and other protected areas at which minors are customarily found, will serve to protect minors from the adverse effects of the activities that accompany such establishments; Page 2 of 23 (1) Straddle dancing, unregulated private performances, or physical contact or touching within adult entertainment establishments poses a threat to the health of both customers and employees and promotes the spread of communicable and social diseases. Straddle dancing is deemed primarily conduct rather than communication or expression; (J) Adult entertainment establishments involve activities which are pure conduct engaged in for the purpose of making a profit, wherein speech or expressive activity is non-existent or incidental thereto, and are therefore subject to and require increased regulation to protect the health, welfare, and safety of the community; (K) Physical contact or touching within adult entertainment establishments between workers and/or customers, wherein specified anatomical areas are exhibited, poses a threat to the health of both and promotes the spread of communicable and social diseases. Section 11.55. Definitions. The following words, terms, and phrases, when used in this Code, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the content clearly indicates a different meaning. (A) Adult Arcade shall mean any place to which the public is permitted or invited wherein coin -operated or slug -operated or electronically, electrically or mechanically controlled still or motion picture machines, projectors, or other image -producing devices are maintained to show images to five or fewer persons per machine at any one time, and where the images so displayed are distinguished or characterized by the depicting or describing of "specified sexual activities" or "specified anatomical areas."

Thomas, City Clerk Subject: Alley Closing Application No. 55 Date: March 1, 2000 The attached is a completed application for closing the alley in Block 154, City of Okeechobee. Louis and Angela Cox own Lots 1 and 2. Cox Realty is the owner of Lots 3 through 6 Including the Alley running North to South. Marshall Pitts Is the owner of Lots 7 through 12. These property owners have signed letters of consent and the application is presented by Attorney Tom Conely on behalf of Sembler Retail, Inc. Sembler is the company that will be purchasing the property to construct the Eckerd Drug Store. Even though the North to South alley Is closed by Ordinance No. 612. Attorney Conely has requested the legal description of both alleys be In the proposed ordinance to be certain all alleyways in this block are vacated. All the utility companies have objected to the alley closing unless utility lines are relocated at the cost of the developer. Normally an easement would be granted in the ordinance, but since the property owner intends to construct the building on the alley, that would not be pertinent, therefore, the lines will need to be relocated and new easements granted on the property. The City Council had this same scenario for the Walgreen's alley and required the applicant to provide signed documents by the public hearing date, providing proof that an agreement had been reached between the property owners and utility companies to relocate the lines. Should Council wish to proceed with the alley closing, a motion would need to be made authorizing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance vacating the alleyways as requested In Application No. 55.

Proposal for Services ' RESUME OF EXPERIENCE AND STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS ' Fred Fox Enterprises, (FFE), was incorporated in March of 1984 as a firm specializing in public/private partnerships. It has no parent or subsidiary organization. ' Due to changes in the administration of the Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Program between the Federal and State government in 1983, local governments found it difficult to secure and manage federal grants in the midst of changing forms and regulations. For those communities contracting with Fred Fox Enterprises, Inc. for grant writing and administrative services, we have been able to successfully obtain project funding and provide the t management expertise necessary to administer the grants in accordance with Federal, State, and Local regulations. ' We have been able to secure approximately thirty percent (30%) of the funds awarded under Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Program subsequent to the Florida ' Department of Community Affairs assuming responsibility for the program. ' In addition, Fred Fox Enterprises provides services for various other federal and state programs including the Florida Recreation Development Trust Fund, State and Federal Enterprise Zone Programs, Community Redevelopment Agencies, ' Federal COPS Grants, Florida Main Street Programs, and Historic Preservation Grants. Fred Fox Enterprises also provides planning and technical assistance services for ' communities in other related fields. This booklet consists of five sections which provide specific information on the firm as identified below: Pages 1-28: SECTION I: Work experience - includes a listing of successful grants ' written for communities, administrative services contracts, and local government ' references. Panes 29-31: SECTION II: Additional program activities written and/or administered for ' communities. Paces 32-34: SECTION III: Staff resumes - includes brief ' resumes of all employees.

Veach, City Adminsitratol'::�?u Subject: Utility Permit Date: March 2, 2000 We have received from our engineering firm a schedule of charges for road cuts, etc from the City of Pt. St. Lucie. There are several ways the Council could consider as far as handling the fees: 1. Waive the fees. 2. Charge the minimum fee of $35.00 per inspection, 3 are required, total fee would be $105.00. This amount was discussed by Staff as being a fair amount to consider unless you decide to waive the fee. Staff needs to know does the Council want to charge a fee? Thank You! • 0 City of Okeechobee February 28, 2000 L. C. Fortner Okeechobee Utility Authority P. O. Box 835 Okeechobee, FL 34973-0835 Dear Mr. Fortner: Thank you for your review of the City's proposed permit form and detail for the restoration of paved streets following an open cut across the Pavement. I have attached a copy of the finalized permit form, incorporating your recommendations. I have also passed along to our engineering consultant your recommendations for revised detail for the restoration of paved streets. You will find the engineer has developed a new procedure guideline (attached) which again follows closely your recommendations. In fact, the consultant has basically made only two additions. You will note these are regarding minimum cover and final patching procedure. The permit and street restoration requirements will be closely monitored by the City in the future, and we will appreciate your co-operation. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me. Srely, Bill L. Veach City Administrator BLV/jas 55 3.&. Third Avenne 0 Okeechobee, FjMda 34874 = • (941) 7 7E .
