COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE
Mayor Watford proclaimed the month of September, 2018 as "Suicide Awareness Month." The proclamation was
presented to Ms. Rita Doss -Jones with New Horizons of the Treasure Coast. The document was read into the record
as follows: "Whereas, in the United States, one person dies by suicide every 12.8 minutes, with close to 45,000
reported deaths by suicide in our country during 2016; and Whereas, in our country, suicide is the 2nd
leading cause of death for 10 - 34 year olds, and is the 10th leading cause of death for people of all ages; and
Whereas, in Okeechobee County, the suicide rate is 13.5% with 6 "reported" suicides in 2017; and Whereas,
each person's death by suicide intimately affects at least six other people, with over 200,000 newly bereaved
each year; and Whereas, far too many Floridians die by suicide each year, and most of these deaths are
preventable. 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 September 2018 as `Suicide Awareness Month' in the City of
Okeechobee and urge our residents to learn how they may help because Suicide Prevention is everyone's
business."
On behalf of the City, Mayor Watford and Major Hagan presented Mr. Aurelio Almazan, who was accompanied by his
parents and daughter, with an embossed portfolio and a framed certificate which read, "In recognition of your
10-years of service, hard work, and dedication to the City, its citizens, and your fellow employees from
September 5, 2008 to September 5, 2018."
On behalf of the City, Mayor Watford and Police Chief Peterson presented Mr. Phillip "Skip" Eddings with an
embossed clock and a framed certificate which read, "In recognition of your 15-years of service, hard work, and
dedication to the City, its citizens, and your fellow employees from September 24, 2003 to September 24,
2018."
Major Hagan introduced the City's new School Resource Officer, Brandon Griesemer. Officer Griesemer was
previously employed as a substitute teacher in the County School System and has been assigned to the
Okeechobee Freshman Campus replacing Officer Jack Boon. He expressed his appreciation for the opportunity,
adding this position does not just give students interaction with Law Enforcement, but provides an opportunity for
personal counseling.

VII. LDR PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED
A.2.a) Motion to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance No. 1170
b) Public discussion and comments.
COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE
Motion and second by Council Members Ritter and Clark to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance No.1170.
Mayor Watford yielded the floor to Mr. Bill Brisson, Senior Planner with LaRue Planning and Management. Mr.
Brisson explained the Ordinance included in the agenda packet was drafted incorporating the direction given by the
Planning Board at the February 15, 2018, workshop, and July 19, 2018, meeting. During discussion at the meeting,
additional questions and concerns that were not discussed during the workshop were brought up. Due to the
absence of Mr. Brisson at the meeting Mr. Ben Smith, Senior Planner with LaRue Planning, attended the meeting
on his behalf. Mr. Smith provided additional thoughts and guidance, but was unable to address all of the Board's
questions and concerns. Consequently, the Planning Board recommended that portions of the proposed Ordinance
not be adopted at this time. These portions are described as follows:
Section One proposes to create a new Code Section 78-73 to the LDRs requiring mandatory water and wastewater
connections when they are available. The Planning Board wanted more information on the Florida Statute and/or
Florida Administrative Code governing mandatory connections to ensure that the proposed amendments did not
require more than what is statutorily required. Of special concern were the definitions of "redevelopment" and
"immediately adjoining," and whether structures being rebuilt after natural disasters would be required to connect.
The Planning Board recommended removing this language from the proposed Ordinance until such time as these
concerns could be addressed.
Section 14 proposes adding a new Code Section 90-705 to the LDRs. The Planning Board recommended removing
this language governing the location of temporary portable storage containers due to it only addressing the locations
in single-family zoning districts. The Board suggested that another section should be added to provide for temporary
storage containers in other zoning districts as well, and that the criteria would likely have to be different from that
proposed for the single-family districts. Mr. Brisson explained 90-705(1) only addresses single-family districts
because there have been no identified problems relating to portable temporary storage containers in other zoning
districts. There may be instances where such containers are used in multi -family areas but they are typically
regulated internally by management. In the event a new section is needed to address temporary portable storage
containers in other districts, it could be added at another time, if and when deemed necessary.
The Planning Board also recommended adding a sentence to Code Section 90-705(2) with the following: "Prior to
issuance of building permit, location of temporary storage containers shall be submitted to building official for
review. The building official has the authority to deny potential locations and recommend alternative locations." This
language can be added to the list of conditions in 90-705(2) at the Final Public Hearing.

COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE
Council Member Abney voiced his concerns with the length requirements of these containers on construction job
sites in 90-705(2) as it is not possible for materials and tools to be stored in a container with a maximum length of
16-feet. He recommended increasing the size dimensions of these containers for constructions job sites. Council
Member Clark agreed. The consensus of the Council was to have Mr. Brisson Provide possible revisions for
the size dimensions of these containers at the Final Public Hearing. Based on the research Mr. Brisson
provides. the Council could amend the Ordinance at the Final Public Hearin a.
Council Member Abney verified that a lot cannot be split between the principal and accessory structure; a stand-alone
accessory structure creates a non -conforming structure. Mr. Brisson addressed questions pertaining to Section 11
confirming that an owner of a vacant property on a corner lot may choose which street the property is addressed. He
also explained the difference in the set -backs for driveways on a corner lot.
The discussion then turned to Section 1, Amendment and Adoption to Section 78-73, Mandatory Water and
Wastewater Connections. After much discussion, Council Member Clary made a motion to amend proposed
Ordinance No. 1170 by removing all of the language in Section 1: seconded by Council Member Chandler.

OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA; AMENDING SECTION 18, ARTICLE 11, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, 18-32
THEREOF, DEFINITION OF CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD; ABOLISHING THE CURRENT SEVEN MEMBER
CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD AS AUTHORIZED BY FLORIDA STATUTES CHAPTER 162.03 THEREOF;

Motion and second by Council Members Ritter and Clark to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance No.
1174.
Mayor Watford opened the floor for public comments. Mr. Jamie Gamiotea, City Code Enforcement Board (CEB)
Chairperson, addressed the Council providing a brief background of his history on the Board since his initial
appointment in May of 1999. His purpose for being a Board member is to ensure that every individual is represented
fairly and that going to a Magistrate process will be taking control away from the people and gives complete control
to an individual who would not take extenuating circumstances into consideration. He then asked the Council
whether complaints had been made about the CEB for the Council to want to change the Code Enforcement
process to a Magistrate. Mayor Watford responded to his comment, first adding that he personally feels the citizens
who serve on the CEB do a great job. Code Enforcement has become a popular topic of conversation in
Okeechobee County. The County converted to a Magistrate process and some citizens have expressed that this
process seems to be more efficient and that the CEB tends to be more lenient. There is also the issue of finding
volunteers to fill the vacant seats on citizen Boards. Council Member Chandler agreed with Mr. Gamiotea as he has
been a member of the CEB in the past and had to make some of those difficult decisions.
Council Member Clark proposed the idea of a hybrid process, utilizing the CEB for first time offenders and a
Magistrate for repeat offenders. Attorney Cook is not familiar with this type of system and will do research on it and
provide feedback at the Final Public Hearing in October.
Council Member Ritter recommended using a Magistrate to alleviate the burden put on the citizens by making
difficult decisions against possible neighbors or friends, and a Magistrate would be more independent. Mr. Gamiotea
disagreed. The authority given by Florida Statutes is the same for a Magistrate as it is for the CEB. The only
difference is instead of having a Board make a decision, a single person does. CEB Member Mrs. Michelle Sanders
voiced her opposition against the Magistrate process, adding volunteering for this Board has never been a burden.
She would also be interested in the hybrid process.

encouraged she was by this discussion and the efforts of finding a solution. She added the Economic Council
supports the Council moving forward with the Magistrate process.
Mayor Watford closed the floor for public comments. Discussion ensued amongst the Council regarding the process
of transferring to the Magistrate process. Attorney Cook addressed the issue of vacant board seats articulating the
required seats can be reduced to five. He also added a residency requirement for the Magistrate and a section to
allow for public comments at the Magistrate hearing. Attorney Cook was instructed) to research the hybrid

Exhibit Five contained calendars covering November, 2018 through January, 2019 with City meetings and annual
events denoted. Regular City Council meetings are held the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Due to the
upcoming general election and holidays, some meeting dates require the City Council to consider rescheduling or
cancelling them.
It is recommended the City Council cancel the November 6, 2018, meeting due to the general election, as the City
Clerk is required to be at the Supervisors of Elections office as a member of the Canvassing Board. The second
meeting in November falls on November 20, 2018, which is the same week of Thanksgiving.
Generally, the City Council only meets the second meeting in December of each year providing it does not fall in the
same week as the Christmas holidays. The recommendation is to cancel the meeting on December 4, 2018, should
there not be sufficient items for that agenda and have the regular scheduled meeting of December 18, 2018.
The first meeting in January will fall on the first, which coincidentally is a holiday observed and City Hall is closed.
Historically when this has happened, the City Council has cancelled this meeting. The recommendation is to hold
one meeting, which would be January 15, 2019, noting the investiture ceremony will take place January 7, 2019.
The consensus of the Council is to cancel the November 6. 2018, and January 1. 2019, mneetincis: Postpone
the November 20, 2018, meeting to November 27, 2018, at 7:00 P.M. or as soon as possible fohowin_g the

Staff: Bill Brisson, Sr Planner of LaRue Planning, developed and recommended by the Planning Board after holding both a
workshop and the July 19 meeting. Between the meetings Board had several questions and recommended the City Council
not adopt those 2 amendments.
Would like to readdress the mandatory connections and respond to their questions.
The pods issue, concerned by they didn't recommend other definitions or other zoning districts. RSF-1 only area where they
have been a problem if there are other districts the city would like to add the ordinance can be amended. Explaination as
why other districts we don't see problem with.
DW —
GR — what brought about these changes?
BB — staff due to the problems that have risen and staff couldn't handle.
Wes — see note on ord
BB — one reason in there lot on shorter depth, driveways on non -front yard and extend too far to back out on the street for
safety. Wes why being made, issue? BB — yes there was an issue, people choose front yard and have drive on side yard
and only has 10 ft set back and the drive was not
Clark — Jim Wright property perfect example of this problem. Chose front yard on corner, drive on the side road.
Page 3 of 13
BB — reality still have frontage requirement and has to be typical width, only applys to corner lots.
Clark way to put a house on a lot that would not be buildable. SW 4th Ave and use the side as a driveway.
Wes as long as the owner can choose which yard they want for their address I'm fine with it.
BB — all frontages on a street have a front footage yard.
GR — when the planning board will take this back up on the wastewater? BB most likely Nov.
Clark — hope there is some footage for a requirement for the hookup, how close the hook up has to be to connect to the line.
Its 150 ft rigth now.
Noel — Section 14
Wes — see note on ord
Clark — storms,1. h&i
GR — apply with
Wes think 16 is too short. MDO up to 40 for staff recommendation. Clark like to see it separated out if residential area.
MDO — box or semi if you do a 10x20 max for residential and semi
Clark — not less than 20 ft, flexible container and not specifiy length for certain zoning districts.
BB — leave this out and go back separate it out in zoning districts, appropriate numbers for that.
DW — make suggestion and do it on the 2nd reading.
Clark — my constructioned had 2 of them.
BB — work up something for amendment for the final reading.
DW — do you want to delete that or leave it in? Planning board wants to discuss it more. Clark — we need to have mandatory
sewer hook ups and if available. GR — yes. Wes can iti be amended later? DW yes it can.
DW if we decide between now and the final reading we can amend at the final reading.
Wes — see note on ord
Clark — it sounded like the planning board was concerned to being to connect after a natural disaster, I would like that taken
out. Busiensses could not rebuild after Irma. Don't want to see them have to do that. Want an exemption for a natural
disaster to rebuild.
DW — if that were to happen whats the process. BB the way its written yes you would have to.
Clark — don't know how many units are not hooked up in the city now.
DW — ok with mandatory connections with an exemption for natural disaster.
Gary whats the definition of redevelopment? BB what you are seeing there and any major change would be a
redevelopment.
Clark — needs to be broken down for payment plans of their connection.
Noel — like Phils building blown away, put the same building why put it on there.
MDO —
BB — originally wording dealt within certain distances, started back when doing a lot of expansion.
Noel — been a lot of changes.

2.a) Motion to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance No. 1174.
Motion and second by Council Members Ritter and Clark to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance No. 1174
b) Public discussion and comments.
Mayor Watford asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public.
Jamie Gamiotea, Chair of the City Code Board — first appointed to board in May 1999 citizens treated equally and fair, I am
anti -large government, find ourselves in situations from time to time. Consistently done that in the 19 years and looked out
for the citizens, all for throwing the book at was here for the Marvin Brantley issues. Everyone treated fairly. The CEB is
quasi-judicial we are judge and jury, request evidence and testimony to determine the outcome. We sent items from the last
2 meetings for foreclosures to the point that something has to be done that when we consider foreclosure because the govt
is taking land away from the people and that should be taken very serious. As siting as a citizen, taking a process away
from citizens and giving it to one attorney. We know the people are we work with them, know their family. When we sit as a
board the people are being made by a group of peers not one person, even in court you have the option of a trial by jury.
If I can ask what has brought this up, has there been complaints from the citizens to make the city want to go to an attorney.
Is there something we can correct?
Page 5 of 13
DW — think you all do a great job and worst citizen board to serve on. My opinion why I think. CE has become a hot topic in
Okeechobee and think the county went to the magistrate system. Citizens think that is more sufficient and to your point the
CEB is more lenient than an attorney like a judge would be more apt to be more strict. Has been hard for us to fill the board
who are willing to serve on that board because they are so hard. If you recall when the previous admin was here it didn't go
past the first reading. Discussed during the budget process and but it in the budget and think that's where this came from.
Noel I sat on that board a long time ago, good old boys don't let things go the way people just think that we are more lenient
and that is not true. It's not a easy job to fine people or foreclosure. They back you in a corner.
DW — council hasn't always backed the recommendations the CEB has brought before, take it that you would like not to go
to the magistrate.
Jamie you get multiple cases of parents died, kids live out of state, loan feel through, notification were not set up right, went
to a member who doesn't care, $25,000 fine on a piece of property that is worth $10000. Big proponent of property rights
and effect of others property rights. My personal views and cases that come up. Are we too easy? Yes we err on the side of
leniency, when we do cut breaks, don't come back here as we have no leniency then.
Clark how would you feel continuing as a code board that it goes to magistrate or fines go to magistrate after. They know
they are going to get a tougher back bone. Like for it to go to a magistrate at that point.
Jamie — read some do both, how duties are divided I don't know, appeal or higher court, circuit court.
Clark — first time CEB, second the magistrate.
Cook — Jamie does a great job with the board, can go down to a 5 member board if council was wants.
Require magistrate be a resident of the city, local attorney may have more compassion; AGO CEB are not required to allow
public comments at meetings. Neighbors and friends may have input they want, may look more palatable.
Clark — one or the other? John — not familiar.
Gary — know firsthand what a difficult job you have, sat on County CEB. Times have changed since then, and I just feel like
somehow we need to take these code enforcement pressures off the citizens and put it on a magistrate. Feel the burden it
places on citizens to make decisions on like you said the guy next door is really tougher now than it was back then when I
sat on that board and they are pleading to get another chance. To get someone independent is better.
Jamie but if they don't have any more authority than we do, how can they do a better job? The f.s. is exactly the same other
than it may be a single decision.
Michelle Sanders — member of the CEB been on several years, husband firefighter. Never been a burden to serve on this
board and many other board. When you make a decision this is a real committee its not the coast, only focused on
themselves, we have all these committees and just remember that. Would be interested doing both and is a new and
growing trend, enjoyed my time on the code board, learned a lot, we are community members and want to help people and
our communities.
Ted Denisuk code board 3 terms very compassion to our neighbors, got to do something if you are too harsh they are
retaliate we know he drives past it every day, he does do it and does it backwards. Permits gotten later we know he's doing
it but lying to us. I'm for going to the magistrate because it takes the pressure off of us and a person out of county would be
more harsher. Maybe do the both like Clark said think that's feasible. My opinion is the magistrate is for it.
Jennifer Tewskbury, Ec Council, encouraged by this discussion and find a solution. Magistrate may be more efficient or
what other break downs of properties that have not been improved for years, hesitancy of doing some type of workshop with
the code board and with your staff and get a solution to make this better.
Page 6 of 13
DW — that's why we have the public hearing to input, having open dialog right here. I wouldn't be in favor of a workshop. JT
— open discussion on this has been great. Noel that's why we have a good staff. JT — doesn't involve public. Noel eventually
it does like now. Gary — don't need additional workshop. There are some issues on a larger scale that needs to be
workshopped but this isn't one of those. Discussed a number of times if we don't know direction now not sure what to do.
JT — say through many magistrate hearings, they have been lenient, simple things that cannot be taken care of.
DW — anymore public? Now council. Cook — time drafted this, county adopted their amnesty ordinance, got a copy allows
property owners to go before BOCC for fine reduced, if the city council is interested with magistrate or not. AGO years ago
only city council can reduce fines. Noel — cant let it get past the value of the property. City Council can put that in place.
MDO — consensus of the council to more forward with the budget, we try to work with citizens before it goes to the code
board, and I take flack for it a lot.
Clark — hats off to you and CEB and it changes with administrator, may be different with a different city administrator or code
officer and hate to rely on that on our back, think Jamie does a great job and saw how hard that decision was on that board,
don't know people are taking code issues serious and think where Jennifer means to have a workshop on this, and want to
find a solution and not sure magistrate is the best way to go or a procedure set in place and not on the changes in
administration.
Gary — do we not have a procedure for code enforcement. DW — yes they get a courtesy letter, then if not taken care of the
cite is done, 90% are resolved. When cited it goes before the code board.
Gary — any room to tighten on the procedure? Staff following as consistent on all?
MDO — no don't think so.
Gary — do we, most brought to us by other individuals or by the CEO?
MDO — don't know, both generate that way, don't know percentages.
Wes — I'm new here comments derails once go to the code board, and heard staff as well. If works in the county don't know
why it wouldn't work here.
MDO — staff level meaning us giving them as much time as possible and staff doing everything they can to help so it has to
go before the code board.
Noel — bottom line is get the property clean up. Someway just to do that. Magistrate has to make the same decision the
code board does.
DW — know there is the repeat offender situation, process is much quicker.
Remind this is the first reading and if passes. Request information on a high bread type situation.

D. Consider changes to Council meeting dates for November 2018 through January 2019 — City Clerk (Exhibit 5).
Exhibit Five contained calendars cover November 2018 through January 2019 with City meetings and annual events
denoted. Regular City Council meetings are held the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Due to holidays and elections,
these meeting dates require the City Council to consider rescheduling or cancelling several of these meetings.
The first meeting in November is the 6th and falls on the general election day. Since the City Clerk is a member of the
Canvassing Board, and is required to be at the Supervisor of Elections office, in the past the City Council has cancelled or
rescheduled this meeting. The recommendation is to cancel it.
The second meeting in November is the 20th and falls during the week of Thanksgiving, this has caused a problem for
quorums in the past. Should the City Council wish, they can postpone the meeting until the following week, November 27th.
Postpone to Nov 27. Clark — yes postpone, others ok with it
Generally, the City Council only meets the second meeting in December of each year providing it does not fall in the same
week as the Christmas holidays. The recommendation is to cancel the meeting on December 4th, should there not be
sufficient items for that agenda and continue to have the regular meeting December 18th.
The first meeting in January will fall on the 1st which coincidentally is a holiday observed and City Hall is closed. Historically
when this has happened, the City Council has cancelled this meeting. The recommendation is to hold one meeting, which
would be the January 15th.

Exhibit 1
Memorandum Sept 18, 2018
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Bill Brisson, AICP
Sr. Planner, LaRue Planning
Date: September 6, 2018
Subject: Explanation of Proposed Ord. 1170
The ordinance included in your agenda packet is the one presented to the Planning
Board/LPA at its Public Hearing on July 19th. This ordinance was drafted
incorporating the direction given by the Planning Board at the February 15, 2018
Workshop meeting. During the intervening time, the Planning Board had apparently
given the matters more consideration and voiced concerns and questions at the July
19th Public Hearing that were not mentioned during the Workshop meeting.
Unfortunately, I had previously scheduled a trip to Savannah, GA and was unable to
attend the meeting. Ben Smith, my fellow Sr. Planner at LaRue Planning, attended the
meeting in my stead. When the Board members voiced their new questions and
concerns, Ben provided additional thoughts and guidance, but he was unable to
address all of the Board's concerns on the spot. Consequently, the Planning Board
recommended that portions of the proposed ordinance not be adopted at this time,
specifically:
Section 1 of Ord. 1170
This Section proposes to create a new §78-73 to the Land Development Regulations
(LDRs) requiring mandatory hook-up to water and sewer systems when they are
available. The Planning Board wanted more information on the Florida Statute or Florida
Administrative Code governing mandatory hook-up to make sure that we would be
requiring no more than is absolutely necessary. Of special concern were the statute
definitions of "redevelopment" and "immediately adjoining", and whether structures
being rebuilt after natural disasters would be required to hook-up. Ben was unable to
address these concerns at that time and the Planning Board recommended removing
proposal from the Ordinance until such time as these concerns could be addressed.
Staff Comment: We have been unable to respond to these concerns at this time
and understand the Planning Board's concerns. We will provide the required
information to the Planning Board in the near future and proceed accordingly.
Section 14 of Ord. 1170
FroviJino Flannin�- and management solutions ror local aovcrnmcnts
I i; j jaci"son 5treet.;7uitc. 20 �na �'jy;:rs, I �, j j?Ol ? j9-?j9-ij00 www.larUeplar.r.in_.com
.. .
This Section proposes to add a new §90-705 to the LDRs. The Planning Board
recommended removing this section of proposed regulations governing the location of
temporary portable storage containers because it only addressed the location of such
containers in single-family zoning districts. The Board felt that another section should be
added to provide for temporary storage containers in other zoning districts as well, and
that the criteria would likely have to be different from that proposed for the single-family
districts.
Staff Comment:
We agree that any criteria for temporary portable storage containers in other
districts would likely be different. However, the reason only single -ramify districts
were included in our original proposal is that there have been no identified
problems relating to portable temporary storage containers in other zoning
districts.
While there may be some instances where such containers are used in multi -family
areas, in the case of rental projects these are typically regulated internally by
management. In residential condominium► developments such containers are
typically regulated by the by-laws or in the condo association rules.
We are also unaware of any significant problems with temporary portable storage
containers in nonresidential districts.
In the event a new section is needed to address temporary portable storage
containers in other districts, it could be added at another time, if and when
deemed necessary.
Also, as part of Section 14 of Ord. 1170 the Planning Board recommended adding a
sentence to §90-705(2) with language something along the lines of the following:
"Prior to issuance of building permit, location of temporary storage
containers shall be submitted to building official for review. The building
official has the authority to deny potential locations and recommend
alternative locations".
Staff Comment:
If the City Council should decide to adopt the proposed language of Section 1.4 of
the Ordinance pertaining to temporary portable storage containers in single family
districts, we could easily add the above text to the list of conditions in §90-705(2).

7. All lines of Coverage (Property, Liability (AL, GL & E&O) & WC) must be purchased to bind the 2 year Coverage
Agreement.
8. Premiums are subject to changed based on increases/decreases in payroll.
In the event the Member cancels one, or all lines of coverage prior to 10/1/2020 12:01 am, a penalty equal to 60 days
premium of the line(s) of coverage shall apply. This penalty shall apply regardless of when notice of cancellation is given,
or the effective date of such cancellation; however, this penalty shall not serve as a prohibition or bar to the PRM member
withdrawing from the PRM Pool.
By signing this 2 Year Coverage Agreement, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions listed above.

Who We Are
The WRM ownership/management brings over 100 combined years of insurance industry intellectual
capital to our clients dedicated to Public Entity Risk Management and insurance solutions.
Knowing that broad insurance resources and strong market relationships are essential, along with
industry expertise and experience, WRM tactically sought out well -respected industry talent, with solid
reputations and stellar track records to join our leadership ranks.
WRM is a member of Ballator Insurance Group, formerly Accretive Insurance Services. Ballator

the expertise that most small private agents and brokers do not have, and the large publicly traded

cutting edge products and services from nationally recognized insurance carriers based on realistic
and reasonable fee and/or commissions. WRM's dedicated Management/Service Team is
recognized throughout the industry for their commitment to providing clients with prompt responses
and solutions.

WRM's management team has an industry wide reputation for professionalism, quality service,
knowledge, and client involvement on a daily basis at all levels, plus a genuine commitment to protect
and shield employees and property of public entity groups and other businesses. WRM believes in its

WRM and PRM are very sensitive to financial issues that face Florida Public Entities. Together we
do our very best to market all coverages each year, analyze losses, work with actuaries to establish
correct loss funding and research all alternative structures/programs/carriers, etc. to ensure that
PRM has the most comprehensive coverages at the most competitive price.

- Pr0nnsal Pricing & inding ��tober 1, 2018—October 1, 2019
Authnri
2 YEAR COVERAGE AGREEMENT
It is agreed by both PRM and City of Okeechobee that, by executing this 2 Year Coverage Agreement, the existing 2 Year
Coverage Agreement dated 9/6/2017 is cancelled and replaced as follows:
PRM is offering a 2 year Coverage Agreement option, with Rates, not premiums guaranteed not to change for the
10/1/2019 to 10/1/2020 Coverage Period [Coverage Periods (i) 10/1/2018 12:01am to 10/1/2019 12:01am (ii) 10/1/2019
12:01 am to 10/1 /2020 12:01 am].
This 2 year agreement does not include property insurance coverage, and does not constitute a bar on the ability of PRM
member to withdraw from the PRM Pool.
The Coverage Agreement is subject to the following exceptions:
Liability
1. A terrorist event or some other disaster that would cause PRM to become un-insurable/re-insurable or if said event
severely crippled the world capacity making insurance/reinsurance unaffordable, substantial increase in cost or
unavailable.
2. 40% incurred loss ratio for the renewal period of October 1, 2018 to October 1, 2019. Loss Ratio will be evaluated
using losses valued as of June 30, 2019.
3. PRM incurred loss ratio = paid losses and claim reserved divided by annual liability premium.
4. If members loss ratio is breached, PRM reserves the right to re -underwrite.
5. All aggregate limits are for one 12 month Coverage Period and losses applying to one Coverage Period do not
erode other 12 month Coverage Period aggregate limits.
6. This does not negate the need to provide updated exposure information via the PRM Renewal Application. Rates
remain the same but premiums will vary based on exposure information.
7. All lines of Coverage (Property, Liability (AL, GL & E&O) & WC) must be purchased to bind the 2 year Coverage
Agreement.
8. Premiums are subject to changed based on increases/decreases in payroll.
Workers' Compensation
1. A terrorist event or some other disaster that would cause PRM to become un-insurable/re-insurable or if said
event severely crippled the world capacity making insurance/reinsurance unaffordable, substantial increase in
cost or unavailable.
2. 40% incurred loss ratio for the renewal period of October 1, 2018 to October 1, 2019. Loss Ratio will be evaluatec
using losses valued as of June 30, 2019.
3. PRM incurred loss ratio = paid losses and claim reserved divided by annual Work Comp premium.
4. If members loss ratio is breached, PRM reserves the right to re -underwrite.
5. All aggregate limits are for one 12 month Coverage Period and losses applying to one Coverage Period do not
erode other 12 month Coverage Period aggregate limits.
6. This does not negate the need to provide updated exposure information via the PRM Renewal Application. Rates

7. All lines of Coverage (Property, Liability (AL, GL & E&O) & WC) must be purchased to bind the 2 year Coverage

8. Premiums are subject to changed based on increases/decreases in payroll.
In the event the Member cancels one, or all lines of coverage prior to 10/1/2020 12:01 am, a penalty equal to 60 days
premium of the line(s) of coverage shall apply. This penalty shall apply regardless of when notice of cancellation is given,
or the effective date of such cancellation; however, this penalty shall not serve as a prohibition or bar to the PRIM member
withdrawing from the PRM Pool.
By signing this 2 Year Coverage Agreement, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions listed above.

Mr. Phillip Eddings
4424 Southeast 30th Street
Okeechobee, Florida 34974
Dear Mr. Eddings:
Fifteen years may seem like a long time, but I would be willing to bet you've enjoyed every
minute as a "City Family" member. At this milestone the Mayor and Council would like to take
time during the September 18, 2018, meeting to recognize your contributions to the City. A
presentation is being scheduled at the very start of the meeting, which begins at 6:00 p.m., to
extend to you a longevity service certificate and award.
In addition, I would also like to point out another change to your benefits by reaching this
milestone. Beginning this month, your annual leave accrual will increase to 13.3 hours per
month. Just one of the many ways the City says "thank you" for being so dedicated.
It is an honor for me to have this opportunity along with the Mayor and Council to offer a most
sincere, "Congratulations, you did it!" May there be many more years to come.
Should a scheduling conflict arise, please call my office, 763-3372 ext. 9814. We will be sure
and give you a reminder call the day of the meeting. Feel free to invite family members and
friends so they, too, may share in this occasion.
Sincerely,

Mr. Aurelio Almazan
608 Northwest 17th Street
Okeechobee, Florida 34972
Dear Mr. Almazan:
Time sure does fly when you are having fun! Can you believe it has been 10 years since you
first became a member of the "City Family." At this milestone the Mayor and Council would like
to take time during the September 18, 2018, meeting to recognize your contributions to the City.
A presentation is being scheduled at the very start of the meeting, which begins at 6:00 p.m., to
extend to you a longevity service certificate and award.
As a way of saying "Thank You" to our employees for their dedication, I would also like to point
out that by reaching this milestone there will be changes to your benefits. Beginning this month,
your annual leave accrual will increase to 10 hours per month and 50 percent of your sick leave
balance is eligible as a paid benefit, so long as separation of employment is on good terms. You
have met the number of years of service that Education Reimbursement Contracts are no
longer required. Then finally, you are now considered a vested member of the Police Officer's
Retirement Fund.
It is an honor for me to have the opportunity, along with the Mayor and Council, to offer a most
sincere, "Congratulations, for a job well done. " May there be several more years to come.
Should a scheduling conflict arise, please call my office, 763-3372 ext. 9814. We will be sure
and give you a reminder call the day of the meeting. Feel free to invite family members and
friends so that they too, may share in this occasion.
