COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE Mayor Watford proclaimed the week of November 15 through 22, 2017, as "Farm City Week." The proclamation was presented to Mr. Mickey Bandi and read into the record as follows: "Whereas, Florida farmers and ranchers help feed the world by producing a bounty of nutritious foods. To do this, they rely upon essential partnerships with urban and suburban communities to supply, sell and deliver finished products to consumers across the U.S. and around the globe; and Whereas, rural and urban communities working together have built our nation's rich agricultural resources so that they contribute to the health and well being of our country and to the strength of our economy; and Whereas, during National Farm City Week, we recognize the importance of this cooperative network. Agriculture employs more than 2 million workers, including farmers and ranchers, shippers, processors, marketers, retailers, inspectors and others who contribute an annual impact of $127 billion to Florida's economy; and Whereas, Farm City Week activities celebrate the mutually beneficial relationships that support the quality of life we all enjoy. This week, as we gather with family and friends around the Thanksgiving table, we count these relationships among our many blessings. Now, Therefore, 1, Dowling R. Watford, Jr., by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Okeechobee, Florida, do hereby proclaim November 15-22, 2017 as `Farm City Week', and 1 do further call upon all citizens to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of all those who, working together, produce and supply our community, our nation, and the world with an abundance of agricultural products." Mayor Watford proclaimed November 25, 2017, as "Small Business Saturday" by reading the document into the record as follows: "Whereas, the City of Okeechobee was built on the dreams of entrepreneurs and adventurers who dared to chart their own paths; and Whereas, staying true to this legacy of innovation, our local small businesses continue to blaze new trails of success; and Whereas, the City of Okeechobee supports our local businesses that create jobs, boost our local economy, and preserve our neighborhoods; and Whereas, advocacy groups as well as public and private organizations across the country have endorsed the Saturday after Thanksgiving as Small Business Saturday; the City of Okeechobee wishes to recognize small businesses for the key role they play in keeping our economy strong. Now, Therefore, 1, Dowling R. Watford, Jr., by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Okeechobee, Florida, do hereby proclaim November 25, 2017 as `Small Business Saturday' and urge all residents of our community to join with us in this observance as we celebrate the accomplishments of small business owners and their employees and encourage the continued development of new small businesses on this Saturday and throughout the year." The proclamation was accepted by Chamber representatives Ms. Paulette Wise, Ms. Mariah Parriott, and Mr. Russ Brown. On behalf of the City, Mayor Watford and Police Chief Peterson presented Ms. Tiffany Noel, who was accompanied by her mother Brenda, with an engraved cross pen and a framed certificate which read, "In recognition of your 5-years of service, hard work, and dedication to the City, its citizens, and your fellow employees from November 9, 2012 to November 9, 2017." 1 Police Chief Peterson then recognized Sergeant Eddings for obtaining his Associate's Degree in Criminal Justice. NOVEMBER 14, 2017 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 3 OF 9 241 AGENDA V. PROCLAMATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS CONTINUED C.

Present a Life Saving Medal and Ribbon to Police Officer Marrero 1 COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE Chief Peterson presented Sergeant Eddings, Officer Holroyd and Officer Marrero with a Letter of Commendation for their actions and quick response that led to saving the life of Mr. Kim Glassburn. The letter was read into the record as follows: "On Monday, October 2, 2017 Okeechobee Police and Fire Units were dispatched to a male in possible Cardiac Arrest at Doc's Auto Service, located at 805 North Parrott Avenue. Sergeant Eddings, Officer Holroyd, and Officer Marrero responded to the scene. Officer Marrero arrived first and found the owner of the shop, Kim Glassburn in cardiac arrest. Officer Marrero began giving Mr. Glassburn CPR, and continued administering CPR until Fire Rescue arrived on scene. Sergeant Eddings, and Officer Holroyd assisted by providing support and coordinating the medical response. Their training, and concern for life allowed Mr. Glassburn's family an additional 10 days to say their goodbyes, and express their love to him. Sergeant Eddings, Officer Holroyd, and Officer Marrero are awarded this Letter of Commendation for their actions and quick response that day. In addition, Officer Marrero will receive the Life Saving Medal. Their team work and professionalism were admirable, and 1 could not be prouder of them." Chief Peterson read the following letter into the record from Mrs. Angela Waldron, the daughter of Mr. Glassburn: "Good Morning Chief Peterson, Please forgive me in advance for the length of this email. I would like to come and speak to you in person in regards to Officer Marrero, Holroyd, and Eddings but as the days turn into weeks it is not getting much easier to talk about it without crying. My dad, Kim Glassburn, had a massive heart attack at his shop on October 2°d. Your officers were the first emergency responders on scene and performed CPR on him and stopped traffic for the ambulance to get him to the hospital. Their actions that day saved his life and gave me and my siblings 10 more days with our dad. I speak on the behalf of all four of his kids when 1 tell you that we will be forever grateful for those 10 days. His heart attack was an absolute mind blowing shock to us. He was only 62. His father was two months shy of 100 when he passed away after laying down for a nap one day and his mother was 94 when she passed. Never in our wildest imagination would we have thought our dad would have passed away at 62. What it means to us that we got those extra 10 days with our dad can never be described in words. The coordination that your officers had that day with one another speaks to the level of training and supervision they receive under your leadership. They worked together fast and efficiently and saved his life. How does a person thank someone for that? 1 would like to know who it is that trains your officers because I would like to give a small gift to each of the officers, yourself and the person who is in charge of training at your department. All of you will forever have a special place in my heart. I loved my dad with everything in me, those 10 days gave me a lot of time to just study his face, hold his hands, kiss him, sing to him and tell him how very thankful I was to be his daughter. Had 1 not had that time to digest what had happened I do not know how I would have ever been able to cope with losing him. From the bottom of my heart I thank you and your team for what you gave to me that day." Chief Peterson then read a request for recognition from Sergeant Eddings for the actions of Officer Marrero into the record: "On October 2, 2017, 1 Sergeant Skip Eddings was scanning the Okeechobee Fire Department radio when I heard dispatch advise of a medical call at Doc's Auto of a person not breathing. I activated emergency lights and advised dispatch I would be enroute as well. 242 NOVEMBER 14, 2017 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 4 OF 9 AGENDA V. PROCLAMATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS CONTINUED D.

COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION -VOTE Dispatch repeated over police radio that I was enroute and what 1 was enroute to. Officer Raul Marrero advised that he would be enroute as well. Arriving a few seconds before me, 1 exited my car and observed Officer Marrero performing CPR chest compressions of an elderly male. I observed the patient to have eyes open, and was unresponsive. The patient then took a deep ragged breath. 1 asked Officer Marrero if he was ok to continue with compressions as Okeechobee City Fire as well as Okeechobee EMS were arriving. Officer Marrero stated he could continue as I met both City and County Fire and advised the patient needed immediate oxygen. Officer Marrero then assisted with placing the patient on a backboard and in doing so sustained an injury to his left hand middle fingernail for which I advised him to be enroute to Raulerson Hospital to seek medical treatment. The patient was then transported to Raulerson Hospital./ learned some time later that the patient, Kim Glassburn, the owner of Doc's Auto, was then flown to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center. Chief Peterson, it is my humble opinion that the actions of Officer Marrero gave Mr. Glassburn a fighting chance to live. I respectfully request Officer Marrero be recognized for his quick thinking, and his dedication to his profession as well as to the citizens of this community." Chief Peterson accompanied by Major Hagan, Lieutenant Bernst, Sergeant Eddings, and fellow Officer Holroyd, honored City Police Officer Raul Marrero by pinning him with the State of Florida Life Saving Medal. The Mayor and City Council expressed their gratitude to Officer Marrero, who was very humbled by the presentation. Council Member O'Connor moved to dispense with the reading and approve the Summary of Council Action for the September 25, 2017, Special Meeting and Regular Meetings of October 3, 2017 and October 17, 2017; seconded by Council Member Clark. There was no discussion on this item. VOTE: WATFORD — YEA CHANDLER — YEA CLARK — YEA O'CONNOR — YEA RITTER — YEA MOTION CARRIED.

PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE ADOPTION CONTINUED A.1.c) City Attorney to read proposed Ordinance No. 1161 by title only 2.a) Motion to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1161. b) Public discussion and comments. 1 COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE Attorney Cook read proposed Ordinance No. 1161 by title only as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA; AMENDING THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ORDINANCE NO. 635 AS AMENDED, BY REVISING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP ON A CERTAIN TRACT OF LAND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO INDUSTRIAL (APPLICATION NO. 17-003-SSA); PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION OF ORDINANCE AND REVISED FUTURE LAND USE MAP IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Motion and second by Council Members Clark and Ritter to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1161. City Planning Consultant, Mr. Bill Brisson, Senior Planner of LaRue Planning and Management Services addressed the Council explaining that the Planning Staff and Planning Board, as the Local Planning Agency, reviewed Application No. 17-003-SSA and found it to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and unanimously recommends approval. The Application was submitted by Mr. Mark Mattson, authorized representative of The Revocable Trust of Gwendolyn Adams (property owner), re -designating Lots 17 and 18 of Block 37, CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, Plat Book 5, Page 5, Okeechobee County Public Records, from Single Family Residential (SF) to Industrial (IND), comprising of approximately 0.321 acres, located 900 block of Northwest 3rd Avenue. The Planning Staff's findings were based on the following information: Properties to the immediate North of the subject property are designated Multi -Family Residential on the FLUM, zoned Residential Multiple Family and developed for multi -family use. The properties to both the South and West have an IND FLU, zoning and existing uses. The lot immediately East is designated SF on the FLUM and zoned Residential Single Family -One with a single family home on it. The remaining lots in this block are either vacant or developed in single-family use, except for the two multi -family structures in the northwest corner. The subject property can be considered appropriate for IND although the 40-feet minimum side and rear yard requirements adjacent to residential zoning may limit the size and location of the structure. There will be no significant change in traffic levels between the likely maximum traffic generation for a two-story structure and for the more likely scenario of a one-story use should the application be approved. Demand for potable water and waste water treatment will be greater for an industrial or heavy commercial use than for the one single-family home. While the demand is greater, it would not represent a significant demand upon available capacities of the Okeechobee Utility Authority's facilities. The existing developed site contains no environmental sensitive areas, wildlife habitat, unsuitable soil conditions, or susceptibility to flooding. Mayor Watford asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public; there were none. Council's comments were limited to the specific location, across from Gilbert Oil and Walpole Trucking Company, Further, the City did not receive any correspondences from surrounding owners. 244 NOVEMBER 14, 2017 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 6 OF 9 AGENDA VII.

The letter informed Mr. Brantley he was in violation of the order of the Circuit Court, Case No. 2004-CA-309, dated July 1, 2005, particularly paragraph 18. Mr. Brantley was given ten days from the date of the notice to come into complete compliance.

Mr. Rob Wilson with DR Wilson Land Company added the sale of the property should be finalized in 90 days. Mr. Mack Worley addressed the Council providing background information on the property that started when he was the Code Enforcement Board Chairman. Mr. Brantley was labeled a repeat violator by the Code Enforcement Board and paid a large amount of fines due to repeated non-compliance of the Code. He asked that the City Council demand Mr. Brantley bring his property into compliance immediately. Mr, Marvin Brantley was in attendance and addressed the Council admitting to the numerous fines he has paid and stated he is currently cleaning up the property. He has been coordinating with an auction company to sell the items on the property once the real estate sale goes through. The Economic Council of Okeechobee provided a letter of support for the implementation and enforcement of City ordinances on the property owned by Mr. Marvin Brantley located at 1905 South Parrott Avenue. Images taken of the property starting October 27, 2017, through November 14, 2017, were also distributed at the meeting. Mayor Watford closed the floor for public comments. Attorney Cook provided different options the Council has to enforce the Court Order. Council Members Chandler, Clark, and Ritter recommended Attorney Cook file the affidavit with the Court to start contempt proceedings. Council Member O'Connor did not agree and suggested the Council provide Mr. Brantley with 30-days to come into compliance. The majority consensus was to move forward with contempt proceedings. The Mayor and Council expressed their appreciation to Mr. Duffy for the update on the potential development. However, they did not find that requiring Mr. Brantley to maintain compliance with the Court Order to be a deterrent or obstacle in proceeding with the real estate transaction. There being no further discussion, nor items on the agenda, Mayor Watford adjourned the meeting at 7:47 P.M. The next regular scheduled meeting is November 28, 2017.

Page 2 of 9 A.1.a) Motion to read proposed Ordinance No. 1161 by title only, amending the Future Land Use Map, Application No. 17- 003-SSA — City Attorney (Exhibit 1). Council Member Clark moved to read proposed Ordinance No. 1161 by title only regarding Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 17-003-SSA, submitted by Mr. Mark Mattson, authorized representative of The Revocable Trust of Gwendolyn Adams (property owner), re -designating Lots 17 and 18 of Block 37, CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, Plat Book 5, Page 5, Okeechobee County Public Records, from Single Family Residential (SF) to Industrial (IND), comprising of approximately 0.321 acres, located 900 block of Northwest 3rd Avenue; seconded by Council Member Ritter. b) Vote on motion to read by title only. VOTE: WATFORD — YEA CHANDLER — YEA CLARK — YEA O'CONNOR — YEA RITTER — YEA MOTION CARRIED. c) City Attorney to read proposed Ordinance No. 1161 by title only. Attorney Cook read proposed Ordinance No. 1161 by title only as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA; AMENDING THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ORDINANCE NO. 635 AS AMENDED, BY REVISING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP ON A CERTAIN TRACT OF LAND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO INDUSTRIAL (APPLICATION NO. 17-003-SSA); PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION OF ORDINANCE AND REVISED FUTURE LAND USE MAP IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE." 2.a) Motion to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1161. Motion and second by Council Members Clark and Ritter to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1161. b) Public discussion and comments. City Planning Consultant, Mr. Bill Brisson, Senior Planner of LaRue Planning and Management Services addressed the Council explaining that the Planning Staff and Planning Board, as the Local Planning Agency, reviewed the application and found it to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and recommends approval. The Planning Staff's findings were based on the following information: Properties to the immediate North of the subject property are designated Multi -Family Residential on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), zoned Residential Multiple Family and developed for multi -family use. The properties to both the South and West are designated Industrial on the FLUM, zoned Industrial and developed with industrial uses. The lot immediately East of the subject property is designated SF on the FLUM and zoned Residential Single Family -One with a single family home on it. The remaining lots in this block are either vacant or developed in single-family use, except for the two multi -family structures in the northwest corner. The subject property can be considered appropriate for industrial use although the 40 feet minimum side and rear yard requirements adjacent to residential zoning may limit the size and location of the structure. There will be no significant change in traffic levels between the likely maximum traffic generation for a two-story structure and for the more likely scenario of a one-story use should the application be approved. Based on the Institute of Traffic Engineers traffic generation rates, a single-family home will generate 1.01 trips in the peak hour and for general light industrial use 0.97 peak hour trips per 1,000 square feet. Demand for potable water and waste water treatment will be greater for an industrial or heavy commercial use than for the one single-family home. While the demand is greater than that for the potential development of one single-family home, it would not represent a significant demand upon available capacities of the Okeechobee Utility Page 3 of 9 Authority's potable and waste water treatment facilities. The existing developed site contains no environmental sensitive areas, wildlife habitat, unsuitable soil conditions, or susceptibility to flooding. Ritter letters? Gamiotea — none. c) Vote on motion.

Council Member Chandler moved to adopt proposed Resolution No. 2017-11, supporting Okeechobee Utility Authority expansion priorities in the Treasure Island area; seconded by Council Member Ritter.

Watford, MDO and I met several itmes with BOCC Burroughs, Chartier and Hayford, several issues this being one of them, and OUA Chair Creasman, after much discussion came up with this being best proposal for the OUA regarding removal septic tanks and into Lake Okeechobee, Legislation might be inclined to fund. Mayfield and Grimsley introduced legislation for fundings. This would also expand and open development because sewer would be available. OUA requested the resolution to include in their submittal. Chandler, presented before, last tiem asked for at least 75% funding. USDA already commmited to some grant funds plus low interest loans, don't know point of percentage on this, use money to subsidize the fees or make payemtns on hookup fees. Several options available, how much from legislature. We believe it's a doable project. Chandler — some residents didn't want to pay for brand new sewer and making them hook up. Great idea but there were more residents that tidn't want of hook up before than did.. Ritter think it shows community being pro active with everything in dealing with the lake. National Chamber put out a report about the same topic, good that we're getting out in front of it. To subsidize the hook up is a good idea, they will then be OUA paying customers and perpetuate to expand the system, good thing for yall to do. John Gurney, Economci Director of the Chamber. Rural grant project, tied to 4 copanies working with east side of Okeechobee, had to touch economic aspect, take into on the unused properties, Hayford and I only preliminary all looks good. VOTE: WATFORD — YEA CHANDLER — YEA CLARK — YEA O'CONNOR — YEA RITTER — YEA MOTION CARRIED. H. Discuss enforcement of court order for ongoing code violation on Brantley property — City Attorney (Exhibit 9). Economic Council letter supporting. Photos taken today. Admin Attorney and Mayor met with Brantley on Thursday at his request. Discussed issues, told us had someone putting up the screening on the fencing. Council discussion — Chandler when did the 10 days start? November 1. Page 6 of 9 Chapter 18 ? paragraph 18, been doing this a long time. Ritter anyway to do a short summary of this, pre -dates me. Attorney, documents, judgement in 2005 enforced liens, paid liens, nuisance, paragraph 20 shortly after entered into this agreement, Brantley had certain amount of tiem to clean up property, send of Sept, 3 months later violated this order, jail for 30 days & 6 weeks into compliance which he did, since then it comes and goes, worked with Fred and Chief fire off letter to Marvin to remind him of the court order it gets cleaned up and then it starts all over again. If you allow me to could get another court order as in Sept 2005. Know there is a project in the works on the property, Duffy's here tonight and some have seen the layout of the project, waiting to see if the project is proceeding and it appears that it is, and we don't want to hinder the project, meeting with the mayor and weve waited long enough. Ritter — ever paid any fines? Yes $58,000+/- Clark so if we pursue court order it would be jail time, we wont take over the property. Cook — no current rolling fines. Sentenence up to 180 days suspend for certain tiem period by judge. Clark — how do we put an end to it? Watford — it can go on Chandler — need to put a stop to it. Watford — this is nothing personal, all friends with him and he knows this. The only solution would be for the property to sale and it be developed. Clark — right after I was elected I was told put on hold for 6 months because of the pending sale/project. Keith Duffy — 10 years ago we put up money on that property, 2 years ago resirected the project, propose leasing the property, outsiders, big response, Party City, Marshalls, Theatre, need at least 50% leasing. Right now looking fanominal, working with steve dobbs, 20 sets of plans going back and forth, its there, we have contractal obligations, need to close 60 to 90 days. Buy property, he's going to move all the junk. $100 million project. Appreciate patience, takes months to get a project like this to come together. Lifestyle feel and hope to make the presentations soon to you. Ritter — mentioned 60 to 90 days for closing, from what point? Keith - From today. Feasibiity period 1 year hard money, annexation issues, point to this being very real, know situation here. Anything we can do from our side we're glad to help. Mack Worley — not representing anyone/organization, all you seated were not city council members when I was chair of your code enforcement. Mr, Brantley was labled a repeat violator, he has the best stalling tactics. We enforced the liens/fines, he paid that. All the declarations based on your code enforcement officer, all done by cooks supervision, satisfied lien, fined him again, 3 weeks from court house steps took ti out of the code enforcement boards hands, told us he would go to jail if he doesn't keep it cleaned. You just gave an officer a medel for doing his job, what if he did his job like you all have done the last 12 years. Marvin Brantley, nothing has ever been pooled that I didn't feel was fair. Everyone of you must think all I do is sit down there and do things to aggravate you. Thought the contract was going to go through, fell through. Had to regroup having to still work at 74 years old, got an auction company coming in to take care of it once the sale of the property goes through. I know it looked bad a few weeks ago, dealing with boats that were stranded in the rim canal. Started putting the screening back up, started putting things in the back and getting more organized. If you're going to fine me or take my property or put me in jail, don't know where that will leave them, but I will survive. Ritter — courious as to how long your business has been in that location? 57 hard long years. Brantley — to mayor missed phone call, left my middle sons birthday party to come up here tonight. If you don't think I'm not serious about cleaning it up and getting it closed. Ritter — how many people work for you? Just me, and now my son who just got out of jail. Repair my own machines too. Page 7 of 9 Rob Wilson, DR Wilson Land Company. We have at least 90 days maybe a little more, ngith and day with getting the right tenants. Remember we had a hurricane come through, he has sworn he will clean it up. You can put in jail later, but if you could give us at least 90 days. Chandler — think we should pursue the court order. Cook — knowing the judge as I do probably take 45 to 60 days to get a hearing in front of him. Clark — our property is 88 years old had to come into compliance with everything that's been put before us, code enforcement has come out, we've given him tons of chances, I'm okay with posposing 30 to 45 days to file like Noel said, but we need to make it come into compliance. Ritter — given what attorney cook said 45 days to get a hearing wait another 30 days, that's 75 days, hear these folks 60 to 90 days but that seems as confusing, the cleaning Marvin has to do to come in comoliance, not sure compliance means on that site for that type of business, compliance in zoning? Land use? Or just looking at stuff out front or longer term, don't want land use or zoning, I'm thinking 120 days that gives those folks lead timem to come with a definitive time to close, then we'll be talking to them on how to develop the thing. Then if nothing happens go with the court order. Worley — had to move everything behind opque, fire lane, land scaping allowed to leave out. Clark — its not zoning or land use issues. Worley — his family had businesses on there for 57 years, but its not been a junk yard for 57 years. Mr. Brantley has rights but they end where everyone else begins. Brantley — yes ran that many businesses, still have license for all for them, even mobile marine, mainly what I do now, boats, there is a lot of other stuff, sell, fix and resell. Looking like a junk yard, its not like junk yards I haul to, I have a lot of merchandise, if it was swept clean they might think its better. 10 aces, plus 8 acres, wetlands, and another acreage, environomental contamination have passed with flying colors. Don't have recommend time, I have money down it and I want to sell to them. Time is up to y'all. Clark — great he has a buyer for the property, but he has to adhere to the codes just as anyone else does. Almost want to withdraw my 30 days. We just need him to put the stuff behine the fence and stay in operation. Ritter — Worley taked aobut fire line, we're talking bout code enforcement package, aside from fence thing, can you get a truck through there? Herb — most of the time yes, we have gotten a truck through there and I do keep an eye on it. O'Connor you don't want to hear mine. Watford — need a concensus? Cook right. Hearing before judge. Pictures to show him. If in 45 days going to have it look just like it should and then its supposed to be judget can say its in compliance no enforcement needed. Legally could say at the time of filing was in violation in court order, but chance could dismiss it if brought into compliance. Then process starts all over, file for hearing .... Goal is to get it cleaned up, not foreclose on property or send someone to jail. Ritter — right now given pictures technically he's in compliance? No. Chandler start now. Clark start now. Ritter start now. O'Connor don't think so, give him days like Clark said first time to give these guys a chance to buy this property. I was on code board and chair, hard as heck to get the city council to do anything. Land owners here have property rights, he might not be in compliance with the code, he's paying taxes regardless and operating a business, I hate to think I was 74 and was Page 8 of 9 going to loose my property and go to jail when other councils have given people time to get what needs to be done. Want to give them a chance to bring in the project. Watford — we have the three/majority concensus, think we need to move ahead, don't think it will hinder the sale of the property. Distributed a copy of the mater plan of Okeechobee Town Centre. Watford — don't think that will interfere with any ongoing sale for the project. IX.

Motion and second by Council Members Nviand ato adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1161. b) Public discussion and comments. City Planning Consultant, Mr. Bill Brisson, Senior Planner of LaRue Planning and Management Services addressed the Council explaining that the Planning Staff and Planning Board, as the Local P4�l�a��n'n A enc ,reviewed the application and found it to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and recommends appro�ar. � o The Planning Staff's findings were based on the following information: Properties to the immediate North of the subject property are designated Multi -Family Residential on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), zoned Residential Multiple Family and developed for multi -family use. The properties to both the South and West are designated Industrial on the FLUM, zoned Industrial and developed with industrial uses. The lot immediately East of the subject property is designated SF on the FLUM and zoned Residential Single Family -One with a single family home on it. The remaining lots in this block are either vacant or developed in single-family use, except for the two multi -family structures in the northwest corner. The subject property can be considered appropriate for industrial use although the 40 feet minimum side and rear yard requirements adjacent to residential zoning may limit the size and location of the structure. There will be no significant change in traffic levels between the likely maximum traffic generation for a two-story structure and for the more likely scenario of a one-story use should the application be approved. Based on the Institute of Traffic Engineers traffic generation rates, a single-family home will generate 1.01 trips in the peak hour and for general light industrial use 0.97 peak hour trips per 1,000 square feet. Demand for potable water and waste water treatment will be greater for an industrial or heavy commercial use than for the one single-family home. While the demand is greater than that for the potential development of one single-family home, it would not represent a significant demand upon available capacities of the Okeechobee Utility Authority's potable and waste water treatment facilities. The existing developed site contains no environmental sensitive areas, wildlife habitat, unsuitable soil conditions, or susceptibility to flooding. contractors aFkqropovd use.

Sgt. Eddings, Officer Holroyd and Officer Marrero responded to the scene. Officer Marrero arrived first and found the owner of the shop, Kim Glassbum in cardiac arrest. Officer Marrero began giving Mr. Glassbum CPR, and continued administering CPR until Fire Rescue arrived on scene. Sgt Eddings, and Officer Holroyd assisted by providing support and coordinating the medical response. Their training, and concern for life allowed Mr. Glassburn's family an additional 10 days to say their goodbyes, and express their love to him. Sgt Eddings, Officer Holroyd, and Officer Marrero are awarded this Letter of Commendation for their actions and quick response that day. In addition, Officer Marrero will receive the Life Saving Medal. Their team work and professionalism were admirable, and I couldn't be prouder of them. Sincerely, Chief Robert Peterson 50 S.E. Second Avenue • Okeechobee, Florida 34974 • 863/763-5521 • Fax: 863/763-7804 Good Morning Chief Peterson, Please forgive me in advance for the length of this email. I would like to come and speak to you in person in regards to Officers Marrero, Holroyd and Eddings but as the days turn into weeks it's not getting much easier to talk about it without crying. My dad, Kim Glassburn, had a massive heart attack at his shop on October 2"d. Your officers were the first emergency responders on scene and performed CPR on him and stopped traffic for the ambulance to get him to the hospital. Their actions that day saved his life and gave me and my siblings 10 more days with our dad. I speak on behalf of all four of his kids when I tell you that we will be forever grateful for those 10 days. His heart attack was an absolute mind blowing shock to us. He was only 62. His father was 2 months shy of 100 when he passed away after laying down for a nap one day and his mother was 94 when she passed. Never in our wildest imagination would we have thought our dad would have passed away at 62. What it means to us that we got those extra 10 days with our dad can never be described in words. The coordination that your officers had that day with one another speaks to the level of training and supervision they receive under your leadership. They worked together fast and efficiently and saved his life. How does a person thank someone for that? I would like to know who it is that trains your officers because I would like to give a small gift to each of the officers, yourself and the person who is in charge of training at your department. All of you will forever have a special place in my heart. I loved my dad with everything in me, those 10 days gave me a lot of time to just study his face, hold his hands, kiss him, sing to him and tell him how very thankful I was to be his daughter. Had I not had that time to digest what had happened I do not know how I would have ever been able to cope with losing him. From the bottom of my heart I thank you and your team for what you gave to me that day. Angela Waldron Director of Outreach Services Martha's House P.O.

I activated emergency lights and advised dispatch I would be enroute as well. Dispatch repeated over police radio that I was enroute and what I was enroute to. Ofc Raul Marrero advised that he would be enroute as well. Arriving a few seconds before me, I exited my car and observed Ofc Marrero performing CPR chest compressions of an elderly male. I observed the patient to have eyes open, and was unresponsive. The patient then took a deep ragged breath, 1 asked Ofc Marrero if he was ok to continue, with compressions as Okeechobee City Fire as well as Okeechobee EMS were arriving. Ofc Marrero stated he could continue as I met both City and County Fire and advised the patient needed immediate oxygen. Ofc Marrero then assisted with placing the patient on a backboard and in doing so sustained an injury to his left hand middle fingernail for which I advised him to be enroute to Raulerson Hospital to seek medical treatment. The patient was then transported to Raulerson Hospital. learned some time later that the patient, Kim Glassburn, the owner of Doc's Auto, was then flown to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center. Chief Peterson, it is my humble opinion that the actions of Ofc Marrero gave Mr Glassburn a fighting chance to live. I respectfully request 50 S.E.

Public Facilities Impacts Note: The applicant must calculate public facilities impacts based on a maximum development scenario. 1. Traffic Analysis a. For Small Scale Amendments (SSA) (1) The Applicant shall estimate of traffic volumes associated with the proposed change using the most recent edition of Trip Generation prepared by the Institute of Traffic Engineers and assuming maximum development potential of the property. The existing FLU for the proposed property is 0.32 acres of Single Family. The maximum density of the FLU Single family has a maximum density of 4.3 units per acre, which would yield a total of 1 units. For a total traffic count of 10 daily trips and I peak hour trips. The proposed FLU Industrial for this parcel would have a maximum buildout of 50% according to the City's Comprehensive Plan, which would yield a total 49 daily trips with a peak hour of 7 trips. This represents an increase of 39 daily trips and 6 peak hour trips. (2) If the proposed Future Land Use change will result in an increase of 100 or more peak hour vehicle trip ends in excess of that which would result under the current Future Land Use Designation, the applicant shall attach a Traffic Impact Study Prepared by a professional transportation planner or transportation engineer. Please see the attached traffic statement. b. For Large Scale Amendments (LSA) All LSAs shall be accompanied by a Traffic Impact Study prepare by a professional transportation planner or transportation engineer. N!A c. Traffic Impact Studies are intended to determine the effect of the proposed land use change on the city's roadway network and the city's ability to accommodate traffic associated with the proposed change over a ten-year planning period. N/A d. An inability to accommodate the necessary modifications within the financially feasible limits of the city's plan will be a basis for denial of the requested land use change. N/A 2. Provide estimates of demand associated with maximum potential development of the subject property under the current and proposed Future Land Use designations for provision potable water, sanitary sewer, and recreation/open space as follows: a. Potable water and Sanitary Sewer demand based on: (1) 114 gallons per person per day (gppd) for residential uses Current 11 * 114 = 114 gpd Future = 0 gpd (2) 0.15 gallons per day per square foot of floor area for nonresidential uses Current 0 Ogpd Future 6,970 *0.15 = 1,045.5 gpd Current total = 114 gpd Future total=1,045.5 gpd b. Recreation, and Open Space demand for residential uses of 3 acres per thousand peak season population. N/A, Proposed Industrial FLU. 3. Provide a letter from the appropriate agency substantiating the adequacy of the existing and proposed facilities, to support development resulting from the proposed change, including: a. Solid Waste; Even though the attached letter from Waste Management was from 2014, with over 24 years left at that time, there is still over 20 years of capacity left in Okeechobee. b. Water and Sewer: The impact of the potential FLU change is addressed in the letter provided by OUA. C. Schools. N/A, no additional capacity to schools for an Industrial project. C. Environmental Impacts Proposed plan amendments shall be accompanied by evidence that the following studies have been completed for another permitting agency or are not relevant to the property. There shall be inventories of: 1. Wetlands and aquifer recharge areas. Please see the attached wetland map from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. From this map, there appear to be no wetlands on the subject parcel. 2. Soils posing severe limitations to development The soil present at this site from the attached MRCS Websoil Survey, is Immokalee Fine Sand, which should cause no developments limitations. 3. Unique habitat. This parcel is undeveloped, but provides no unique habitat. 4. Endangered species of wildlife and plants. Since the properties around this parcel have been developed for many years and this parcel is so small, it does not provide the conducive habitat for endangered species. 5. Floodprone areas. According to the attached FEMA map 12093C0415C, the subject parcels are outside all structures have been built outside flood zone A, but are within Zone X, which are areas determined to be outside the 0.2% annual chance floodplain. D. Internal Consistency with the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan 1. Discuss how the proposal affects established City of Okeechobee population projections. With the existing parcel only supporting 1 single family residence, there will be no impact to the established population projections. 2. List all goals and objectives of the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan that are affected by the proposed amendment. This analysis should include an evaluation of all relevant policies under each goal and objective. Due to the size of this project, there is no effect to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment's Policies and Objectives from this request. The minimal increase in density will not change the ability of the city or any other utilities to provide available water, sewer, or roads. 3. Describe how the proposal affects the County's Comprehensive Plan as it relates to adjacent unincorporated areas. This project will have no impact to unincorporated areas the County's Comprehensive plan. 4. List State Policy Plan and Regional Policy Plan goals and policies that are relevant to this plan amendment. Since the City's Comprehensive Plan has been found to be consistent with all state requirements, this application is also consistent with the State Policy Plan and Regional Policy Plan Goals. Since the major concern as stated in Chapter 163.006(5)(I) is to discourage Urban Sprawl, this application can hardly be classified as Urban Sprawl since it is simply unifying the FLU with the underlying zoning. E. Justification of Proposed Amendment Justify the proposed amendment based upon sound planning principles. Be sure to support all conclusions made in this justification with adequate data and analysis. Proposed Conditions For the proposed Industrial Future Land Use designation, the maximum development is approximately 50% maximum lot coverage or 6,970 sf. L 1.2.d. Use Measure Rate Gallons per Da Single Family 1 Units 114 gpd 114 gpd — water/sewer (Existing) Commercial (Proposed) 6,790 sf 15 gpd / 100 sq. ft. 1,045.5 gpd — water/sewer 931.5 gpd — water/sewer Net Impact Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants Based on the information obtained from Okeechobee Utility Authority, the permitted capacity of the surface water treatment plant is 5.0 mgd with the ground water treatment plant rated at 1.0 mgd. The wastewater treatment plant permitted capacity is currently 3.0 mgd. The maximum daily flow of the combined water treatment plant finished water production is 3.65 mgd for the period of August 2016 through July 2017. The average daily flow of the wastewater treatment plant is 0.853 mgd of the 3 mgd plant for the same time period. Police The nearest City Police station is located at 50 SE 2nd Avenue. No additional Police stations are scheduled. The existing Police station should be able to maintain its level of service standard with the proposed amendment given that the project is immediately adjacent to an existing area already designated for commercial uses. Service availability from the Police Department will be determined by the local government review. Fire The nearest fire station is located at 55 SE 3rd Avenue. No additional fire stations are scheduled. The existing fire station should be able to maintain its level of service standard with the proposed amendment given that the project is immediately adjacent to an existing area already designated for commercial uses. Service availability from the Fire Department will be determined by the local government review. Solid Waste Waste Management operates the regional solid waste landfill. Waste Management has previously indicated they have a 20 year capacity left in their facility. Stormwater Management The project is located in the City of Okeechobee and according to the attached FIRM panel 12093C0415C; this parcel is in Flood Zone X. There are no wellfields within 1,000 feet of the parcel. Potential adverse impacts to ground and surface waters will be minimized by implementation of appropriate erosion control measures during construction in accordance with the NPDES Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge from Large and Small Construction Activities. Erosion control measures that may be implemented include stabilization practices such as temporary seeding, permanent seeding, mulching, geotextiles, or sod stabilization; structural practices such as silt fences, earth dikes, diversions, swales, sediment traps, check dams, or storm drain inlet protection; and sediment basins. Stormwater runoff quantity and quality are strictly regulated by the City and the SFWMD to ensure that pre -development drainage conditions are maintained. The proposed rate of discharge from the site will be less than or equal to the existing discharge rate from the site. The discharges off -site will be minimized by on -site detention within the stormwater management system. The drainage system will be owned, operated and maintained by the owner, who's past record of compliance has beens shown to be a responsible property owner and should be acceptable to the City and the SFWMD. The Stormwater Management System will employ, wherever practical, a variety of Best Management Practices (BMP). The following are a list of potential BMP that could be integrated into the Water Management System during the final design and permitting stage: Oil and grease skimmers; • Environmental swales; • Minimize "short-circuiting" of pond flow patterns; • Raised storm inlets in grassed swales; • Utilize stormwater retention where feasible; and • Street cleaning and general site maintenance. Parks and Recreation As a self-contained Industrial facility, no impact to the parks and recreation needs of the City is anticipated. Hurricane Preparedness According to information in the Treasure Coast Transportation Analysis Hurricane Evacuation Study Update 2003, dated November 2003, the property is not located in any storm surge zone. The property is not within the Category 3 Hurricane Evacuation Area.

Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from long -duration storms. The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows: Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission. Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission. Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water transmission. Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink -swell potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission. If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes. Rating Options Aggregation Method: Dominant Condition Component Percent Cutoff.

It occurs during specified months. Estimates of the upper limit are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone, namely grayish colors (redoximorphic features) in the soil. A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month is not considered a water table. This attribute is actually recorded as three separate values in the database. A low value and a high value indicate the range of this attribute for the soil component. A "representative" value indicates the expected value of this attribute for the component. For this soil property, only the representative value is used.

Dobbs Engineering, LLC, has completed an analysis of the traffic generation statement for the above referenced facility. The project is to support a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from a FLU of Single Family Residential to Industrial for 0.32 acres of land in parcel 3-15-37-35-0010-00370-0170. This analysis was based on a spreadsheet distributed by the Florida Department of Transportation, which is based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trim Generation Manual (6`h Edition). The results indicate the existing FLU of Single Family Residential has a maximum density of 4.3 units per acre or I single family units (ITE code 210), would generate 10 daily trips with 1 peak PM trips with I being in and 0 being out. The proposed FLU of Industrial with a maximum development rate according to the City LDRs is 50%, which would yield 6,970 sf of commercial development. For this analysis, General Light Industrial (ITE code 110) was used due to change to Industrial which yield 49 daily trips with 7 peak PM trips with I being in and 6 being out. This land use change could potentially generate an additional 39 daily trips with 6 PM peak trips with 0 being in and 6 being out.

The matter before the Local Planning Agency and City Council is an application for an amendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for a rectangular parcel. According to the survey provided, the property encompasses about 13,993 square feet of land (140' x 99.95') or about 0.321 acre, currently designated Single -Family Residential on the Future Land Use Map. The proposal is to change the Future Land Use designation of this property to Industrial. The property is zoned Industrial. The current and proposed Future Land Use designations, zoning, existing use, and acreage of the subject property and surrounding properties are shown in the following tables and on the maps on pages 6 through 8.

B. Current and Future Development Potential as Single -Family Residential The property is vacant. The maximum standard density allowable in the Single - Family Residential Future Land Use Category is four units per acre (five if the units qualify as affordable housing).

Practical Maximum Likely Future Development Potential While the Industrial Future Land Use category allows for an FAR of up to 3.00, given the 50% coverage limitation and the character of Okeechobee, one would not practically expect an industrial building greater than two stories. Therefore, development of the property would most likely not exceed 13,993 square feet of floor area, and would more likely be only one story in height with about 6,997square feet of floor area. 2. Proposed Use The Applicant, intends to use the property as the site for his building contractor's business, which is a permitted use in the Industrial Future Land Use Category (FLUC) Consistency and Compatibility with Comprehensive Plan and Adjacent Uses. Policy 2.2 of the Future Land Use Element recommends that the City protect the use and value of private property from adverse impacts of incompatible land uses, activities and hazards. Objective 12 states that the City of Okeechobee shall encourage compatibility with adjacent uses, and curtailment of uses inconsistent with the character and land uses of surrounding areas, and shall discourage urban sprawl. Properties to the immediate north of the subject property are designated Multi - Family on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), zoned RMF and developed for multi- family use. Multi -family designations and use are considered compatible with industrial uses. The properties to both the south and east are designated Industrial on the FLUM, zoned Industrial and developed with industrial uses. The lot immediately east of the subject property is designated Single -Family Residential on the FLUM and zoned RSF 1 with a single-family home on it. While this lot and the subject property are out of keeping with the FLUM and Zoning designations of the rest of the properties in Block, except for the two multi -family structures in the northwest corner of the block, the lots in this block are either vacant or developed in single-family use. The subject property can be considered as appropriate for industrial use although the Applicant should recognize the minimum side and rear yard requirements adjacent to residential zoning are 40 feet which may limit the size and location of the structure. Adequacy of Public Facilities Traffic Impacts L.K.0 3 ptanni.ng Staff Report Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant's Name: Mark Mattson Petition No. 17-003-SSA Based on the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) traffic generation rates, a single- family home will generate 1.01 trips in the peak hour. The ITE trip generation factor for General Light Industrial use 0.97 peak hour trips per 1,000 square feet. The likely maximum traffic generation for a two-story structure would be 13.6 peak hour trips and for the more likely scenario of a one-story use, 6.8 peak hour trips. These potential levels of traffic generation should not significantly affect traffic levels in the immediate area. Demand for Potable Water and Sewer Treatment The estimated demand for potable water and waste water treatment for one single- family home approximates 308 gallons per day (114 gallons per person per day at an average household size of 2.7). Demand for potable water and waste water treatment will be greater for an industrial or heavy commercial use than for the one single-family home. Applying an estimate of 0.15 gallons of water per day per square foot of nonresidential use indicates a demand of between 1,046 and 2,091 gallons of potable water and waste water treatment per day. While the demand is greater than that for the potential development of one single-family home, it would not represent a significant demand upon available capacities of OUA's potable and wastewater treatment facilities. The Applicant has included in his submission letters from the Okeechobee Utility Authority indicating that service is available and that there is adequate excess capacity to accommodate the demand that would be associated with the proposed use as well as more intense industrial uses allowable on the subject property. C. Environmental Impacts We agree with the Applicant that the site has no unique characteristics regarding environmental sensitivity, wildlife habitat, soil conditions or susceptibility to flooding. LaKuc 4 planning Staff Report Applicant's Name: Mark Mattson Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 17-003-SSA Recommendation Based on the foregoing analysis, we find the requested Industrial Land Use Designation for the subject property to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, and consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area. Therefore, we recommend Approval of the Applicant's request to amend the Comprehensive Plan to designate the subject property as Industrial on the City's Future Land Use Map. Submitted by: Wm. F.

OCTOBER 19, 2017 - PLANNING BOARD - PAGE 2 OF 3 CHAIRPERSON HOOVER OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:03 P.M. Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment Application No. 17-003-SSA, is being requested by the applicant, Mr. Mark Mattson, authorized representative of The Revocable Living Trust of Gwendolyn Adams (property owner) to change the classification from Single Family Residential (SF) to Industrial on 0.321± acres, located in the 900 block of Northwest 31d Avenue. Planner Brisson reviewed the Planning Staff Report and explained the application is for two vacant lots encompassing approximately 14,000 square feet of land. The applicant intends to use the property as a contractor's office. Planner Brisson recommends approval, based on the findings within the Planning Staff Report (listed in Item 5.a.). Mr. Steven Dobbs, P.E. with SLID Engineering was present on behalf of the applicant and available for questions from the Board. There were none. Chairperson Hoover asked whether there were any comments or questions from those in attendance. There were none. Chairperson Hoover asked Board Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone prior to this meeting regarding the application or whether they visited the site. There were none stated. Planning Staffs findingsare as follows: The application was found to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, specifically Policy 2.2 and Objective 12 of the Future Land Use Element. Properties to the immediate North of the subject property are designated Multi -Family Residential on the FLUM, zoned Residential Multiple Family and developed for multi -family use. The properties to both the South and West are designated Industrial on the FLUM, zoned Industrial and developed with industrial uses. The lot immediately East of the subject property is designated SF on the FLUM and zoned Residential Single Family -One with a single family home on it. The remaining lots in this block are either vacant or developed in single-family use, except for the two multi -family structures in the northwest corner. The subject property can be considered appropriate for industrial use although the applicant should recognize the minimum side and rear yard requirements adjacent to residential zoning are forty feet, which may limit the size and location of the structure. There will be no significant change in traffic levels between the likely maximum traffic generation for a two-story structure and for the more likely scenario of a one-story use should the application be approved. Based on the Institute of Traffic Engineers traffic generation rates, a single-family home will generate 1.01 trips in the peak hour and for general light industrial use 0.97 peak hour trips per 1,000 square feet. Demand for potable water and waste water treatment will be greater for an industrial or heavy commercial use than for the one single-family home.

Palm CirY, FL 34990 • www.firetlytoryou.com (RFQADM -01-00-05-17 Website Design & Replacement & Enhance Communication for Fy 2017 The key to creating a successful website is in understanding our clients' needs and how the website fits into their overall goals and objectives and other elements within their communications plans. We conduct initial in-depth client meetings to ensure this "data - download" occurs. This informs the process of creating a detailed site plan for the website that will have an intuitive flow for your website visitors. Together, we build a plan of action and provide a design that matches those goals. Firefly has more than a decade of experience in creating websites for our clients and has such long-term relationships with some of them that, as technology advances have occurred in website development, we have relaunched and revamped our client's websites accordingly. Through our partnership with Impressive Click, we also have decades of experience in both user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design to deliver both a well -organized and visually appealing experience for the website viewer. Combined with award -winning graphic design capabilities, we are able to create visually appealing website that are easy for visitors to navigate as well as intuitive, reliable and fast loading.

Facebook, twitter and social media tools will be used to not only promote the website, but also as strong communication tools that the city _should use to build__greater awareness and support of your goals and activities. The public needs to be informed of the new website's existence and be directed there through the City's other public relations and community outreach activities. Firefly also understands the importance of having strong content and messaging on the website. We will work with city staff from the various departments to create easy -to - understand and accurate/up-to-date content for the website text using "plain -language" copywriting to engage the public. The graphic design elements, along with the written content, will complement other print and digital communication materials. In addition, through the process we will fully integrate existing applications currently in use by the city to ensure a smooth transition and ease of integration with future government applications. Additional features that we are able to provide through development, design and coding include: archival components; Page 6 of 11 Z87.5Z?2 f 7n.287.5195 • 12715W SUnSef Tr p= ail, Pala[ City, Ft 34990 • www,firettyforYou Com Eft (RFQADM-01-00-05-17 Website Design & Replacement & Enhance Communication for FY 2017 a search feature; calendar; and e-commerce features if needed.

Martin County Coastal Engineering (2007 — present) — three (3) projects Project Name: The Bathtub Reef Beach Closed for Renourishment Project http:/%www.bathtubbeachmartin.comZ Description of Services: Bathtub Reef Beach is one of the most beloved beaches on the Treasure Coast. After the storms of 2004 the beach was closed a number of times for renourishment projects. Each time it was closed, county officials received an outpouring of anger and disappointment from the public. In 2014, coastal engineers declared the beach in dire need of another renourishment project or the beach would forever be closed. County officials tasked the Firefly Group with creating a campaign that would "make people feel good about their disappointment." Looking to provoke nostalgia and feelings from happier times, The Firefly Group created a campaign that was based on a vintage "days -gone -by" feel for the website, social media and collateral J� 6. ti14 �\ agiLCOME TO mop; .Jr ..1 development. In addition to the social media and collateral, The Firefly Group 0 created a mascot for the beloved beach. Bathtub Beach Betty, an adorable mermaid, was created to be the 'graphic mascot" who would provide updates via social media for construction and dredging operations updates, location changes, scientific information and marine life updates, thereby telling the story of the Bathtub Beach renourishment in a positive, friendly, fun and inspiring manner. Primary Deliverables: Firefly provided community outreach, public communication and education, media relations, collateral materials development, event coordination, website & Facebook page development and content management, and crisis communications. The Facebook page was the main source for streaming information and active communications regarding the project with the story being told by the now adored Bathtub Beach Betty. Description of Demonstrated Project Success or Strategic Outcomes: A grand opening and ribbon cutting was held with community notables, elected officials and was well attended. Aside from unpreventable setbacks such as local toxic algae issues and storms, Bathtub Beach has reopened and, because of positive marketing efforts, the County had minimal negative feedback from the community during the beach closures. Evidence of Innovation: -Bathtub Beach Betty is now well known in community as the mascot for the beach. In addition, the Bathtub Beach Facebook page, the main source for streaming information and active communications regarding the project, launched in February 2016 and now has nearly 1,400 page likes as well as highly engaging posts that have reached over 50,000 people.

The County planned to dredge the waterway, creating a 100-foot wide channel to provide environmental, economic and navigational benefits to the community. Firefly worked with Tetra Tech and Martin County from 2007-2012 to educate residents and businesses along the Pocket and maintain advocates for the project. Primary Deliverables: Firefly told the story using communications tools such as: educational website development and maintenance; community outreach, public meetings and event coordination; media relations, collateral materials development and distribution, and crisis communications planning. In 2010 all permits were in place and dredging was set to begin. Because the dredge equipment would occupy a large portion of the waterway, it was even more critical to coordinate with residents to minimize impact to neighbors, businesses and community events. Prior to the commencement of dredging, four public meetings were held to provide a forum for residents to ask questions and receive information. Description of Demonstrated Project Success or Strategic Outcomes: A ribbon cutting and a celebration event were successfully coordinated. Both events attracted hundreds of stakeholders and served to reinforce the benefits of the project. Evidence of Innovation: The project's website and outreach campaign won multiple awards from the Florida Public Relations Association and the Advertising Federation of the Treasure Coast for effectiveness in public education, and for achieving maximum results with minimum costs. �a1CV ,tee P.

Firefly coordinated the community outreach, public communications and education, media relations, collateral materials development, website development and content management, public meeting and event coordination and email communications. Primary Deliverables: In the early stages of the project, Firefly planned a public meeting/project open house at Flagler Recreation Center. More than 150 people and 12 state and local dignitaries were in attendance —a phenomenal turnout. Firefly has also integrated social media into the marketing plan, and the successful Facebook page is used to recruit volunteers, share news articles and pictures from community outreach events. Description of Demonstrated Project Success or Strategic Outcomes: As a result, the project is now complete with a smooth track record of effective communication between citizens and government. In fact, NOAA has described the ORRP as a "poster -child" for what other public communications efforts should emulate.

Global Mapping is still the consultant for the Property Appraiser's Office, and we continue to share the same updated information, which in turn keeps the City's costs down. Since there is no other mapping company that performs this type of work for the Property Appraisers Office, I have requested the City Administrator consider approval and recommend that this be considered a sole -source purchase based on maintaining operational standards, and serves as the best working relationship with the Property Appraiser's Office. In keeping with Code Book Section 2-288, Department Heads may recommend purchase of a specific brand should they feel, through experience or analysis, that only that brand will serve the best interest of the City. Factors which might warrant sole -source purchasing could involve compatibility with existing equipment, maintaining operational standard, or lesser serves requirements which reduce down -time and maintenance cost. When making such a recommendation, the Department Head shall submit written justification to the City Administrator, whom may waive bidding and grant the purchase request in cases where the estimated value of the purchase does not exceed his bid award authority ($7,500.00). Above that limit, the written justification and recommendation shall be referred to the City Council for approval. Sole -source reviewed and approved by the City Administrator, to forward to the City Council. - Marcos ohtes De Oca, City Administrator Attachments: City Purchase Requisition No. 015755 signed by L. Gamiotea Annual Contract Quote from Global Mapping Upon City Council approval, forward P.R. 015755, original Global Mapping Contract Quote and a copy of the minute pages to Finance to issue Purchase Order.

By DA E ECO Economic Council of Okeechobee November 141h, 2017 The Honorable Dowling Watford City of Okeechobee 55 SE 3rd Avenue Okeechobee, FL 34974 RE: 1905 South Parrott Avenue Dear Mayor Watford, Dist( Kt4ed a� 11114 Iq N 7n EXhlb Economic Council of Okeechobee Post Office Box 718 Okeechobee, Florida 34973 (863)467-0200 The Economic Council fully supports the implementation and enforcement of City ordinances relating to code enforcement. Significant research supports the claim that first appearances are important to the economic viability of the community. The property at 1905 South Parrott Avenue in its current condition does not give others the impression that Okeechobee is a clean community in good health or fit to bring a business to. The judgment against the property owner from 2005 listed specific actions necessary to improve the premises, but the property owner has proven his unwillingness to maintain the property accordingly. This property has been consistently in violation of City ordinances and the Federal Highway Beautification Act. The owner's refusal to abide by the court order leaves the City Council no choice but to enforce the judgement of the court. The Economic Council is always seeking to create an environment that promotes prudent economic growth and improves the quality of life in Okeechobee. For this reason, we support the City in its pursuit to enforce all codes on all properties, and encourage you to take all actions necessary to improve 1905 South Parrott Avenue. Thank you for your continued service to the citizens of Okeechobee. Sincerely, Frank Irby ECO Chairman Board of Directors: Wes Abney. Abney Building R Consulting„ Inc.

From the mouths of babes, here goes: Is turkey the real reason we feel sleepy after the Thanksgiving meal?
