He explained that you usually find out more things and any frustrations or good things that are going on in that particular department.

ATTEST: ��� James E. irk, Mayor Bonnie S.`Thomas, CIVIC, City Clerk U Verbatim of March 21, 1995 Regular City Council Meeting New Business Item F,(7 Oliver: on the budget process, what I, some of the questions I wanted to ask are, are we going to talk about long term capital? Thins submitted by the Department Heads, is that in the budget process? Kirk: the budget process is, as it is working right now, the department heads get with the administrator they both will have worked on a budget for that department. Once... Watford: ...including long term capital, including what he's Oliver: ...long term capital.... Kirk: ...total budget, okay, for that department Oliver: okay, but are things that are (turned tape over -- 1 budget by department heads and rejected by the a way of knowing what those things are? Would we Kirk: I would, I'm the tie breaker. Oliver: don't you feel that we should know those things? Kirk: what we've tried to do is come up with a budget, that at l presented, and it will come under attack, a budget that is accepted by the department heads and the city administri with. Now we've, for two years we've done this John or tl Drago: two. Kirk: about here.... 3 side A) (put in the tistrator is there any t, when it is epted or at least all feel comfortable ? to my knowledge none of the department heads have complained about it. I feel like they do have input on their budgets and I stress with t iem as department heads in the city, you know, they've got to stand their own ground to do anything, that may sound like a silly statement, but it's not. One of t ie department heads is sitting in this room right now, and I wont put him on the s t because that's not fair, but the last budget process, he had an item in dispute there, and he was wanting it in the budget and the administrator wasn't and I put it in the budget. But I go in, or whoever the Mayor would be, would go in a tie breaker person, the budget has to be approved up here, if you want to get product, I feel that's better, as long as you get the department heads involved ir it. They've got to be involved and then once that is done, then within that budget they've got to run their department. If we're not going to hold them accountable to run their departments we don't need them. And we need them. 114 0 Oliver: I understand that, my point though is that as a Ci Councilman I should know what is turned down for the fire department or the police department for a period of years, if in fact it was. 'm not saying .... Kirk: ...it would have only been two years..... Oliver: ...I'm just saying that we should know, that all of u should know what is approved and what is not approved. Not approved is as important as what is approved in some cases. Watford: that is true. I think some Councilman, I don't know that we've ever been denied this right, I know some Councilmen will coi tact each department head during the budget process and meet with ther i individually and that's how you find out or how you would find out if so thing that they really wanted was in there or not. In my opinion, that w Id be my way of finding out. Oliver: the only thing is that then you would have S City CDuncilmen going to a department head to find out what's been denied rather than just a report from the administrator.... Watford: but you don't only find that out, I think if you do at you find out some other things too like, you know like some of the fn strations they may have with certain items or some of the good things about certain items that they have. And I think you find out a lot more, plus it g ves you a better understanding of, "well what's this money for?" Wk n I go to a department head I'll usually ask him "what is this 'ng, this machine your buying? Or this piece of equipment? What is this o what's it going to do?" and you're a little better informed when you come ip here, you can say yeah I know what that is, that's a thing -a -ma -gig th is going to work our machine over there or something, so it gives you a ittle better understanding. I agree with you that we need to know those kind of things. I think it's better left to each Councilman to discu the budget with each department head, personally. O'Connor: you could also ask the administrator. I surely don't think he's not going to answer what you ask him. Kirk: you got to also realize that the administrator is going to h ve some things on there that's not going to get through or he maybe not wan ' g something, I guess that would be more of the case... O'Connor: ...you could ask him what was on there that you did't like that you took off? If you don't ever ask him you're not ever going to know. 0 Oliver: well, if we received a report from the ci administrator detailing what was for instance what was requested by the Police department, what was denied what was -requested by the fire department. what was denied that would solved it it would be part of public record. Kirk: that shouldn't be a problem Oliver: I wouldn't think so. Kirk: no. I would suggest that it's not his responsibilily to do that. I would suggest that it's the responsibilily of each department head that the provide the Council with a list of items that were requested and the did not et. i Oliver: that's fine. Kirk: I don't have a problem with that. Because they know how the budget process works they know how to fight for things if they want it an they know, and I'll take the blame for it and/or credit, and I'm the tie breake and I think until we come up with something better ....... I think their more hapf ier being able to participate in it and I think most of them view me as a person who will look at their budget and talk with them. Now I'm not going to tell you that I go through their whole budget because I don't. I say what's in conflict and that's where I start. Because I'll get the budget and fight with you guys t e same way when you get it up here. But if there something in conflict then I'm going to say yes or no andyou'll get that list if that's what you what to do with the items that did not make it. , Oliver: Okay. I didn't see anything in here about long term apital. Is there any long term capital budget? Kirk: the budget process that I get involved with them is just for heir own department. Oliver: okay, what about a lon term iece of a ui went th t the police department or fire department might what that cost $200 000 is there a way to beam the budget for that now? j Kirk: yeah you can raise taxes. Oliver: Kirk: .yes... Oliver: the Chief of Police rojectsithat ihe9s going to need a piece of c 5 years couldn't he also turn that in as his bud eta!yprocess? ...that would give us a clue of what's happening... J/V n Kirk: ...well that's his responsibility... Oliver: ...well couldn't we instruct them to do that.:. Kirk: ... absolutely... Oliver: ...a long term budget process... Kirk: ...that's their rmp—o—psibilily to budget for their depa department, that's why we started doing it this way. Oliver: but do they know do that? Kirk I don't think so. I've not seen anybody planning for long term purchases, no. I think that their budgets were more immediate and I think when you get into this budget process you've going to find out there needs are more immediate not 5 or 10 years from now, till we get the funds to work with it. Oliver: I understand that, but I'm sure that Chief Mobley would have slot better knowledge of what his department is going to need 5 years from now than any of us and at least we would begin to know forte future or 3 years from now. If for the same reason I'm suggesting a ck lendar for the year... Kirk:you're not suggesting bud etin for it our saying let us know the needs. Oliver: that is what I'm saying. not bud etin the need. Kirk: I think the school has a real nice word for it, that's give us Iyour wish list Oliver: we could call it that. Watford: I know recently, I don't remember the exact time fra all recall we got from the Fire Chief a report on his and obviously we did nothing with it, but we got it at Kirk: but that's not anything complicated these department heads Oliver: thank you. Kirk: did you get done with everything you wanted to do? Oliver: yes sir thank you. Ag e but I think you'll uipment and what, should do that. q14 ?qj-ar mar ma+Ng -, 3/RIG5 - TOOGm A.

The proposed change will adversely affect property values in the adjacent area; 12. The proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement o development of adjacent property in accord with existing regulations; 13. The proposed change will constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare; 14. There are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in a�cord with existing zoning; 15. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the County; 16. It is impossible to find other adequate sites in the County for the proposed use in districts already permitting such use. ■ 0 The following items were submitted by the applicant during the February 28, 1995 Public Hearing before the Planning Board 0 2/28/95 J- 'i L V- r Application for Rezoning of Lot 1, and the East 1/2 of lot(2, also, Lots 4 thru 12 inclusive, Block 254, City of Okeechobee, Plat Book 5, Page 5, FROM EXISTING C- I 1 TO PROPOSED RG-2 1. GENERAL SITE DATA a. Total area of proposed rezone...74,812.5 sq. Ft.= 1.71 acres b. Proposed site is vacant and undeveloped at present. c. Site is served by City of Okeechobee potaLle water and sewer. d. Site is served by paved city streets on the North, East, and South. e.

The proposed change is consistent with use pattern of residential. Also, the consistent with the city future land use map 2. The proposed change would blend in w nearby districts which are predominant character. policy, listed below red for re -zone. the established land proposed change is i th the adjacent and ly residential in 3. The proposed change would infill the undeveloped land in the city with residential units, that would take advantage of and utilize the existing infrastructure facilities that are available. Our proposed development meets the criteria of not more than 10 units per acre for the proposed RC-2. 4. Existing district boundaries are not illo ically drawn. S. The proposed change would bring the pa cel into compliance with the proposed future land use classifica ion. 6. The comprehensive plan changed the future ability of the site to be used as C-II. In fact, no permitted use in C-II can be permitted on this site, because it would be in conflict with the future land use map. 7. The proposed change will allow development of additional residential use in the district. If the project �A ed according to the land development regulati ns it willerbettan upgrade to the general area. 3. There will be an increase of traffic in the area. As stated there will be a minimum of three directions from which to leave or enter the site. This should provide for a diversity of flow from the additional traffic thereby not creating a problem with congestion or public safety. 9. The proposed change will not create a drai a� be problem. 10. The proposed change will not seriously reduce light and air to adjacent properties. Page 3 I1. The area. proposed change should increase property values in the 12. The proposed change will not be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property in accord with existing regulations. 13. The proposed change will be granting a change in zoning that is consistent with the future land use plan which is Supposed to benefit the public at large. 14. The property cannot be used in accord with existing zoning because the existing zoning is non -conforming with the future land use rnap and the comprehensive plan. 15. The proposed change is very much in sca a with the needs of the city. There are not many rental units in the city. A check of vacancy rates will attest to this statement Also, in reviewing the future land use rnap it is evidenced tha this parcel is the only parcel proposed for multifain! ly development in the southeast quadrant of the city. 16. It is not impossible to find other sites in the city for this use. However as stated this is the only parcel proposed for this use in the general area. vligIIII q ' 1619U0111n-1 1i1e 1111 111111H 1111111111 . 111111gill s � 11 C11 I. o� o0 m oo� 1.1 4 i — 000 No loll o 011,11 Dorm MMam �ooa oIIIIInr loop � � o� eo_ o.om�oaoo�oo � Gar �EC� �fl{�9 7�e`E� CtRR�3S= Vp MI1I1lIII 111111 Iloilo �i e o � smoaam mm0. 19 �_ 11 20 34 33 21 33 22 D 1 SE 71H S1 70 ic1., — rye.. 10 i 1 PURPOSE: FOR: S"EET DATE: 2/28/95 I PROPOSED 1 1 SCALE: NTS 1 JOB NUMBER BY:; RRH ZONING CHANGE.
