A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA; AMENDING RESOLUTION NO.
09-06, APPENDIX G, TABLE 2, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, WHICH ADOPTS AND
ESTABLISHES THE SCHEDULE OF FEES NECESSARY FOR INSPECTION AND
ENFORCEMENT OF FIRE SAFETY CODES; PROVISION OF FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICES;
AND SUCH OTHER SERVICES AND FEES AS MAY BE IMPOSED BY THE FIRE CHIEF AS
LOCAL FIRE MARSHALL IN CODE OF ORDINANCES SECTION 34-32; AND AS HEREAFTER
AMENDED, AND PROVIDING FOR AMENDMENT OF FEE SCHEDULE BY RESOLUTION;
PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Okeechobee, Florida, has appointed the Fire Chief as Fire Marshall in Code of Ordinances
Section 34-32, and as authorized by Florida Statute Chapter 633, and which grants authority to the Fire Chief
with police powers to reasonably regulate the provision of fire services, including imposition of fees or
charges for services; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of public safety and welfare for the City to provide such services, but also to be
reimbursed for certain services in the discretion of the Fire Chief as approved by the City Council to defray
the budgetary costs of operating the Department that often cannot be anticipated or funded in the annual
budgetary process; and
WHEREAS, enforcement of those code provisions requires the adoption of a fee schedule necessary to enable
inspection, enforcement, provision of fire safety and EMT services as set out in the Code, which fees are
subject to periodic amendment, and thus not appropriate to incorporate into the Ordinance itself.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Okeechobee, Florida; presented at a duly
advertised public meeting; and passed by majority vote of the City Council; and properly executed by the
Mayor or designee, as Chief Presiding Officer for the City:
SECTION 1: That the City Council of the City of Okeechobee, Florida, hereby adopts this Resolution to affect the
changes and/or additions to Appendix G, Table 2, Code of Ordinances as attached hereto as Exhibit "A". The
schedule of fees shall be incorporated into Code of Ordinances Appendix G Miscellaneous Fees, as
originally adopted by Resolution No. 09.06.
SECTION 2: Supplemental Fees. The City of Okeechobee, Florida, may, from time to time, amend the fire safety
fee schedules as recommended by the Fire Chief acting as Fire Marshall, to add to, delete, reduce or
increase certain fees as determined to be in the best interests of the City and the citizens of Okeechobee.
SECTION 3: Conflict. All Resolution or parts of Resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
SECTION 4: Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Resolution, or
application hereof, is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction,
such portion or provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions or
applications here.
SECTION 5: Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
INTRODUCED AND ADOPTED in Regular Session this 27th day of November, 2018.
