Mayor Kirk read the proclamation in its entirety as follows: "WHEREAS, domestic violence transcends all ethnic,
racial and socioeconomic boundaries. Its perpetrators abuse their victims both physically and mentally, and
the effects of their attacks are far reaching - weakening the very core of our communities. Domestic violence
is particularly devastating because it so often occurs in the privacy of the home, which is meant to be a place
of shelter and securiity. During the month of October, Americans should contemplatethe scars that domestic
violence leaves on our society and what each of us can doto preventit. WHEREAS, because domestic violence
usually takes place in private, many Amedcans may not realize how Mdespread it is. Each year in the United
States, approximately 1.5 million women are raped and/or physically assaulted by their c course of a year. As
unsettling as these statistics are, it is also disturbing to realize that the children of battered women frequently

assist victims and their families. Through education, awareness and enforcement, we are striving to prevent
domestic violence and sexual assault. Public action and awareness will create a society that promotes strong
values, fosters a safe and loving home environment for every family and refuses to tolerate domestic violence
in any form. NOW THEREFORE, 1, James E. Kirk, by the virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the
City of Okeechobee, do hereby proclaim the month of October, 2002, Domestic Violence Awareness Month,
and urge the citizens of this City to join together to end domestic violence that threatens so many of our

Dear Ms. Nairnsey:
The above property has been under a fine of two -hundred and ffity dollars ($250.00) per day for
code violations since March 19, 1999. At this time the City is still receiving complaints about
your property. Since no effort has been.made to come into compliance with the City Code of
Ordinances, the Code Enforcement Board has advised the City Attomey to recommend that the
City Council start foreclosure proceedings on the above property.
The estimated amount of fines accrued up to September 20, 2000 is one hundred and thirtys-eight
thousand dollars ($138,000.00). If you have any intentions of resolving this matter, we must hear
from you immediately. Otherwise, we will have no alternative than to recommend that the City
Council pursue foreclosure proceedings.
Sincerely,
Keith Tomey
Code Enforcement Officer

Status Report
FROM: Bill L Veach, City Administrator
Below is a brief summary of past and upcoming events.
ADMINISTRATION GRIT —Attorney Hellinger has resubmitted a notice ofpending matters to the court
regarding the venue issue. As yet, no decision has been reached.
PRM — The City did receive a reduction in our insurance premium from $166,662
(the amount the City Council approved as a maximum on September 3') to
$160,511. This is a $6,151 reduction.
Industrial Park/Sheffield Environmental Services — The EDA ($1.2 million) and
Transportation Grants ($1.125 million) are in place as are the County and State
appropriations.
I have submitted a quarterly report to EDA and OTTED (Transportation Grant)
The EDA is evaluating information from Sheffield and will make a determination
as to whether the thneline for commencement should be extended. The other EDA
alternative would be to terminate the funding for the project. There is no change
in the status of the private sector funding.
We have received written notification that the change, of scope request on the
remainder of the $300,000 appropriation has been approved. This enables us to
address NE 9b Street with the remainder of the appropriation f1mds. CAS has
been notified to move forward in addressing NE 9" Street planning and
construction bidding.
Mayor Kirk, Councilman Chandler and the City Administrator met with JD
Alexander and members ofhis staffrecently. Topics of discussion included many of
the items the City Council and staff had identified as issues for the Okeechobee
Delegation and Lobbyist. As you know, Representative Alexander will be replacing
Senator Laurent as a member of the Florida Senate.

Nancy Phillips continues to explore grant possibilities related to FlagJer Parks 3-
6 and storefi-outs along the North side of West Park Street. The City Council
willbe kept informed ofpossibilities. Lydia Jean Williams, working closely with the
City Engineer, Director of Public Works and Nancy Phillips, has prepared and
submitted a $115,000 FRDAP grant request to refurbish FlaglerParik#2. Afier
submitting a request for $50,000, we were informed that the limit had been raised
to $200,000. Lydia reworked our proposal adding improvements to the ph-m We
should have some indication as to whether or not the project will be funded by
Spring.
I have discussed with the City Council and Department Heads items for
consideration by our Lobbyist and the Okeechobee Delegation. They are:
• Taylor Creek Bridge and a connector road
• Downtown redevelopment
Continued improvements to US 441 and SR 70
Funding to address our canal situation
Mosquito abatement issue
Storm drainage
Street lighting
Dale indicates that there may be storm drainage funding available from this FY and

ENGINEERING'
The City Engineer is preparing a proposal, which would indicate total costs ifthe
City were to serve as the General Contractor on the refurbishing of the Fire
Station. While it was stafFs original intent to present this proposal to the City
Council on October 1", Oscar is finalizing the budget at this time and we Will
present it on October 15'b. As I have previously reported, any action involving
reconstruction ofthe facility will require a budget amendment, as we would now be
into another fiscal year.
The City Engineer is also addressing sidewaEks and LDR requirements (in
conjunction with John Cook). Oscar believes that adequate requirements are
already in place in the LDR7s, but they have not been adequately enforced in
the past, when building plans have been approved. He will work to step up this
requirement.
Oscar and John are also working on a right-of-way use issue that must be clarified
in the LDR's.
FINANCE
Lola Parker is in the process of confirming needed encumbrances and finalizing FY
02 budget issues.
PUBLIC WORKS
Donnie Robertson will undergo surgery for prostate cancer on September 30.
He is expected to be out for at least 3 weeks, but the prognosis for a complete
recovery is very good.
Construction (street) projects are underway and should be completed within a few
weeks.
Two members of the Public Works staff have passed the preliminary training
related to spraying for vegetation in and around water (canals). As we have
discussed, we feel our spraying effort will compliment the efforts of the Corps of
Engineers and help improve the situation around the canals in the City.
Donnie Robertson has obtained a quote for the I' block of SW 12" Avenue
guardrail. He has submitted the costs to DOT for approval. You will recall,
this is being done at DOT's request (and expense).
pUBLIC WORIKS Donnie Robertson is overseeing the installation of a new air handling (air
2,
CONTINUED conditioning) unit in the Administration office. The old unit is nearly20 years old and
began leaking above the ceiling in the outer office. It is being replaced immediately to
prevent finther damage to the building. Two other units in City Hall (ofthe same age
and similar condition) will be replaced as soon as we enter the new fiscal year.

will remain in effect.
