NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. D. Discussion regarding issues from the Veterans Memorial Committee - Herb Nix (Exhibit 6). The Veteran's Memorial Park is Park "E" of F L A G L E R P A R K bound by North and South Park Streets and South Parrot and Southwest 2" Avenues. Mr. Herb Nix is the President of the Veteran's Memorial Park Committee. He addressed the Council with concerns from the Committee regarding various uses in the park. Nonprofit organizations have been given permission to post temporary signs (regarding community events) on the Northeast corner of the park, which is also at the intersection of Parrott Avenue (Highway 441) and North Park Street (State Road 70). Business owners along South Park Street have held events on South Park Street and a hay wagon (flatbed semi trailer) was put in the park to be used as a stage. During the Labor Day events a local business brought some of their merchandise and set up a tent in the park to sell, The Committee would like to convey to the Council that these types of uses take away from the appearance of the park and is disrespectful to the purpose of the park, which is to honor our veterans. Mr. Nix also noted thatthe Committee does notobjectto the United Way sign posted in the park. The sign is away from the intersection and it was in that park before the renovations were done in 1997. They also do not objectto the City's Christmas decorations thatare put atthe intersection and complimented the City Staff on whata greatjobthey do each year to decorate the community for the holiday season. He continued by thanking the City Fire and Police Departments along with the Police Auxiliary for their service and protection they provide the American Legion throughout the year at various events that they sponsor. Council Members Oliver, Chandler and Watford discussed the issues with Mr. Nix, They commented that they did not think the temporary signs advertising community events were meant to be disrespectful to the veterans in any way. There have been abuses with the use of the parks (for example the trailer being set in the park and the business that put their tent in there). However, when the City learns of these abuses, they correct them as soon as possible. The corner used for the temporary signs is the most visible one at the main intersection. Therefore, it is logical that the Chamber of Commerce, churches and other nonprofit organizations would choose that park to post their signs. Attorney Cook advised that he recently reviewed the Grant of License between the City and American Legion giving the Legion use of the park to create a Veterans Memorial. He suggested that Administrator Veach, Mr. Nix and a representative from the Chamber of Commerce meet to discuss an outline of what would be appropdate to post in the park. Council agreed that they should meet and instructed that all parties be notified to do so. Mr. Lawrence Cox, also of the American Legion addressed the Council asking that they please be careful with what signs they allow in the park. Council instructed Clerk Thomas to notify Administrator Veach of the reguest to hold this meetiqq. 445 NOVEMBER 19,2002 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 8 OF 9 AGENDA COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION -VOTE IX. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. ITEMS ADDED TO THE AGENDA: E. Discuss meeting dates for December 2002. F. Motion to adopt proposed Resolution No. 02-14 regarding the FRDAP grant application - City Attorney (Exhibit 7). G.

Mayor Pro-Tem Watford advised that if there is no objection, the Council would only hold one meeting in December, which would be the third. A special meeting might have to be called (and advertised) regarding the industrial park. Council aareed. Council Member Oliver moved to adopt proposed Resolution No. 02-14 regarding the FRDAP grant application; seconded by Council Member Williams. Attorney Cook read the fitle of proposed Resolution No. 02-14 as follows: "A RESOLU11ON OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA SUPPORTING THE PROPOSAL TO ADD THE RENOVATION AND IMPROVEMENTS OF FLAGLER PARK NO. 2 TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2002-2003; CONTINGENT UPON FUNDING FROM THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, FLORIDA RECREATION DEVELOPMENTASSISTANCE PROGRAM (FRDAP) PROGRAM; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE." VOTE KIRK - ABSENT CHANDLER - YEA OLIVER - YEA WATFORD - YEA WILLIAMS - YEA MOTION CARRIED. Council Member Chandler advised the Council thathe metwith John Morgan ofthe South Florida Water Management District They are starting a new project along with the Army Corp of Engineers and the Department of Environmental Protection to dredge Taylor Creek and its feeder canals. This is part of the Lake Okeechobee Clean up Project that addresses phosphoreus levels in the lake. In the past the project has focused mainly on the impact of the lake from agriculture, However, they are now focusing on the urban areas that also feed into the lake (for example storm water drainage from the City). Mr. Morgan also stated that he knew of the City's situation with the boat ramp at Southwest 4" Street and V Avenue. There is a possibility to include renovating the boat ramp with this project One reason the ramp is in the condition it is in is due to the storm water drainage thatfeeds into Taylor Creekfrom 4 1h Street. If the ramp is included in the project it could be a pilot project to try a "state of the art' system to slow the storm water flow and eliminate the erosion NOVEMBER 19, 2002 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 9 OF 9 11 AGENDA III COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION -VOTE 11 IX.

The purpose of Mr. Morgan's visit is to inform the Council of this project, invite the City to be a partner in it, to assist in obtaining funding from the State. He will be presenting the same request to the County. This is a long term operation and the part of the local governments (City and County) is to be committed to be there for the maintenance of the project once it is completed. Mr. Morgan introduced Ms. Kim Sugar from the Department of Environmental Protection Agency, who was also there to answer any questions the Council may have. Council Member Chandler also noted that this Project is not for navigational purposes nor weed removal, However, it will help eliminate that problem. The Council expressed their support for this project. Ms. Gail Powers of the Lake Okeechobee Business Owners and Supporters briefly addressed the Council supporting Mr. Morgan and the project and asked that the City step up to the plate and take the lead on this. The Council appointed Mr. Chandierto be their liaison on this Project and instructed that Administrator Veach add this to the list of items to be presented at the December 19 Legislative Delegation.

October 29, 2002 - Land Planning Agency - Page 2 of 3 W2 AGENDA ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE I-V. NEW BUSINE4S. A. Consider amending Volume One of the Unified Land Development Code (Land Attorney Cook explained that there recently has been an amendment to the Florida Statutes Development Regulation's - LDR's). The proposed will amend sections specifically allowing for a nori-voting member to be appointed to Citizen Boards, specifically in this case a relating to Section 155, pertaining to Citizen Boards. Cn School Board Member to advise the Board when necessary. This member would attend periodically. It was thought that Attorney Cook is similar to the non -voting member as being kind of an advisory member. Attorney Cook stated that he is in a different category due to the legal aspect he advises the Board on. It was also mentioned that when new developments are proposed it might be nice to have a member of the School Board there to respond as to how it may impact the nearby school* There was no public comment. There was no further discussion from the Board. Board Member Ledferd moved to recommend to the City Council to approve the Land Development Regulation Amendment to the Citizen Boards Section 155. Board Member Hoover seconded the motion. VOTE CREECH - YEA HOOVER -YEA JONES-YEA KELLER - YEA LEDFERD - YEA MAVROIDES - YEA MCCOY - YEA WALKER - YEA MOTION CARRIED. \C'X The Okeechobee News P.O.
