Mr. Elliott requested this project be completed by March of 2018.

Watford — asked to be on the agenda, exhibit is a packet of 2018 home rule issue bills, compiled by Martin, St Lucie and Indian River, many bilss that will have an adverse effect on home rule. We all get the updates from FLC legislative updates. Items that may be of importance personally and locally. Flyers being distributed by the TCRLC main reason is to get information out to the public as much as possible, The video as well to share through social media. Good points on the flyer. Have good relations with other local governmental agencies. May be times we can includes people on our email lists and social media to contact local state representatives. Asked the Chamber board and asked to share our information to go out in the eblast and they agreed to do that as well as OKMS Executive Director has agreed to send the information out to their membership to clue people in. Some of the items doen thave a direct impact on us. CRA for example they are under attack, we may not be able to have one if they continue with the way the bills are going. Most of the problems are being brought about by 1 house member not liking what they did in their hometown. Encourage you to share this with everyone. Ritter on the other end of the spectrum, Rep Lee HB and SIB 1570; enact laws that are already in state legislature, want to put additional requirements on farm land. Things like this happens up there and you really have to pay attention. Watford — other problem is we had some contacts no longer in the legislature. No official action required on this item.

Been here a year, concerns with details in city ordinances. Changes in city ordinances. Addressed some with city Administrator and then he works with the City Attorney. Want to see it come to the city council first before a formal action before the mayor and city council. Page 6 of 7 Watford what kind of changes are we talking about? Clark brought him five different ones and requested a workshop, cant talk with anyone outside the convened meeting. Appeal fee, signs, parking, landscaping. 60% of the signs don't comply with the city ordinance. Want to see positive changes. Building official has some concerns as well. Watford — anything thing in building or zoning has to go to the planning board for a recommendation. Understand frustration. Clark — whom ever sits in the city administrator seat has one interpretation. Want to see five people way in. Cook — agree with Clark in our code we can go from front to back, went ahead and drafted an ordinance that was shot down, waste of time and effort, develop a procedure to be up here before it gives staff time and research. The ordinances that you've sent to Marcos, lets have at the next emeting or the following meeting. Give your scnopsis of what changes you want us to look at. Cook not to draft an ordinance just bring the sections up here to discuss to pursue it or not. Dog barking example and sign by Mayor. Will cut out 4-5 hours of him working that we vote down.

PROPOSER NAME SECURITY 101 Clarifications: The pricing provided in this section is based upon the information provided and our interpretation of the request for all labor, materials and equipment for the item. These prices should not be interpreted as final pricing due to the many variables involved based upon construction, installation factors and the city's intent. Please see attached clarification document for additional comments on a line by line basis. This clarification is in reference to the Variance and Exceptions taken to Part VII1— Schedule of Values document. We would like to advise the city that our pricing in our SOV is firm for items 1,3,4,7,8,18,19,20,21,22, 23,32,33 & 34 are based upon a typical City installation as known to us via bid documents, plans provided, RFI responses and experience with other city projects. There are many variables when installing various equipment and devices in a building; Construction materials, door schedules/hardware, site conditions, etc. typically dictate the approach of any installation which is why Security 101 made this clarification document. We feel it is in the best interest of the city to review the additions on a case by case basis which will likely save the city money, however we feel this is a good benchmark to build upon.

As the legislature gears up for 2018, the attempted power grab has already begun. Recently filed legislation would even take away regulations protecting trees from being clear-cut! State legislators keep voting themselves more and more power over your life, making rules designed for Miami apply to our cities, towns and villages. Taking decision -making out of the hands of the people you elected to run your counties, cities and towns. Taking away Home Rule. VV ithout the tools provided by Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAB), the renaissance in downtown Fort Pierce would have never happened. The improvements CRAB throughout our region created have been repaid many times over. Yet last year the legislature was only a few votes short of crippling existing CRAs and banning new ones. Don't let the legislature destroy this important community improvement catalyst. Fort Pierce's Sunrise Theatre is just one example of the effectiveness of CRA investment. he state legislature tried to take away local government's ability to keep x-rated bars and shops out of our residential neighborhoods, to prevent 5G communications antennas from hanging off our local lampposts, and to control business signage to fit within the character of our communities. ounties, cities and towns along the Treasure Coast had what amounted to two years' worth of debris to remove after Hurricane Irma. That takes time and money. Without the ability to set aside emergency reserves, your local county, city, town or village wouldn't be able to do it at all. The state legislature tried to take away local government's ability to pay for unforeseen expenses like disaster recovery. keechobee County doesn't have much in common with Miami or Orlando. The pace of life is different, local needs and challenges are different. Who do you think can make better decisions for the people who live in Okeechobee? 160 people in Tallahassee or 5 council members and 5 county commissioners who live, work and raise their families right next door? ast year, the state took away local government's ability to regulate vacation rentals. So, if your neighbor has turned their home into a 24-hour rental party house, your city, town or county can't do anything about it. And, the 160 legislators who did that don't have to run into you at the grocery store or neighborhood restaurant to defend their decisions. _ho4r ar-` 0 Tallahassee 0 0 5+ "Government is best which is closest to the people." - President Lyndon Johnson HELP take back Home Rule, local control and local accountability.

ATTACHED DOCS: Butterfly Sculpture location & photos; OKMS Fast Track Grant Project Description SIGNED BY: Ql ��o�cJ DATE: January 4, 2018 Bridgette Waldau Okeechobee Main Street, Inc. 2018 Fast Track Grant Description In 2013 Okeechobee Main Street [OKMS] partnered with Waste Management [WM], University of Florida's Okeechobee Extension Office's Florida Yards & Neighborhood Program to take park 6 in Flagler Park from barren to beautiful. Through a grant awarded to OKMS from WM and the National non-profit Keep America Beautiful, the Master Gardeners of the University of Florida Okeechobee Extension Office designed a four -sectioned butterfly garden. This summer, OKMS again with support from WM, Okeechobee County Sheriffs Dept., City of Okeechobee and many volunteers, the "Hamrick Butterfly Garden" was updated with cleaning, painting, new plants and a new irrigation system. The National American Butterfly Assoc. has designated the garden a certified monarch garden. OKMS has established a schedule, with the City's help, of continued maintenance of the garden. Okeechobee is located in rural Central Florida and is a REDI county. The City has 6 beautiful parks in the downtown area known Flagler Park. The protected parks run along St. Rd. 70, a highway that is the gateway from the east and west of the State of Florida. The parks are beautiful in their natural state but at the same time a place that needs to become a destination where the community and visitors can enjoy, other than a few times a years when festivals are held. Okeechobee has very diverse cultural backgrounds, however the economic situation of the county does not allow the residents many opportunities to participate in the arts. For the past 13 years, OKMS's Arts & Culture Committee has dedicated to promote and bring the arts to the community. The Arts Committee plans and operates all arts programs and art exhibits with aide from the OKMS Promotion & Volunteer Committees and the OKMS's Executive Director. The Arts Committee have established a mural program; the Artists Series, featuring art exhibits at the Historical County Courthouse; acquired the first public work of art (a large horse sculpture located at the County Library); Art & Wine Walk in the downtown area and Top of the Lake Art Fest featuring the Taste of Okeechobee held in Flagler Park, Their future projects are to bring more sculptures to the Flagler Park area and establish an art museum. The Arts Committee current project is to bring sculpture into the Hamrick Butterfly Garden, the beginning stage of bringing more art into the Flagler Park area. This project is to install eight large metal butterfly sculptures in the butterfly garden park (#6). The project will utilize a local metal works company, which will make the metal butterfly templates and local artists who will paint the sculptures. The artists will include professionals and students working with elderly groups from two local assisted living facilities. The vision of the project to is bring into the Butterfly Garden colorful metal butterflies sculptures, positioned in and around the garden at various heights to give the illusion of flying. Each butterfly will have an approximate 4 ft. wingspan, mounted on poles of different heights and secured safely in the ground. The metal templates will be designed & made by the metalwork company, cut, cleaned and ready for paint. The templates will include a mounting piece that will later be secured to a 4" x 4" weather treated post. Once the templates are ready, they will be distributed to the artists to be painted and sealed. All butterflies will be different in styles and color. All designs by the artists will get a final approval from the committee before painting. Once painted and sealed, the butterflies will be mounted on the posts and secured within the Butterfly Garden. A community dedication ceremony will be held when completed. We plan to keep the installation up for a period of one year and if well received will approach the City of Okeechobee to continue the installation on a annual basis or make it permanent, Presenting the arts in a public area that is free to the community, students and visitors further art education, but also brings the community together. There will be a strong promotional effort to encourage and invite students, as well as adults, to the Hamrick Butterfly Garden featuring the butterfly sculptures. There will be a direct contact to all the schools and advertisement through print media, local radio, TDC and social media. This project will include participation from, not only local artists, but from many other community volunteers and leaders. Planning this, as a community effort, will have a positive effect on the project and in a small community such as Okeechobee, the community will respond. OKMS's Arts & Culture Committee has seen a positive growth in the arts and art education. With the aide from the Division of Cultural Affairs through this fast track grant, we will be able to create a large visible free public art venue, which will attract the locals and visitors to the beautiful Hamrick Butterfly Garden.

Then you'll love sudoku. This mind -bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test) Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

We expect this feed to be operational in the next 30-60 days and we will notify the public with the proper instructions to access it." Okeechobee City Administrator Mar- cos Montes De Oca said, "We're happy to have the first continual live feed within Okeechobee, which would allow us a sneak peek into Our city to Our citizens as well as those on the coast. Being open and keep- ing the community involved and informed is key." In other business, Mayor Dowling Wat- ford was honored for his many years of ser- vice to the city. The mayor was presented with a 35-Year Longevity Service Award by Councilman Noel Chandler on behalf of the Okeechobee City Council for his service, hard work and. dedication to the citizens of the City of Okeechobee from Jan. 1, 1981 to Dec. 31, 1984, and from Jan. 6, 1987 to Jan. 6, 2018. "1 sincerely appreciate this and 1 am very humbled to get this," said Mayor Watford. "I was honored at the Treasure Coast Regional League of Cities December meeting for be- ing their longest, not the oldest, but being the longest -serving elected official on the Treasure Coast and I take that as quite an honor. I just will say it's been quite an honor to serve this city and the citizens. It's been a lot of responsibility and 1 appreciate that I would especially like to thank the staff of the city. The city staff is second to none. We all have our differences. I know Noel and I don't aways agree on everything and still don't, but we shake hands and walk out of here as friends. I think that is the way the whole city staff operates, along with the elected officials I have served with and the mayors that I have served under. I have just learned a tremen- dous amount from them and again 1 just re- alty appreciate this honor. Thank you.
