2020-05-19 Ex 01 M E M O R A N D U M TO: Mayor Watford & City Council DATE: May 8, 2020 FROM: City Clerk Gamiotea SUBJECT: New Appointment to the Planning Board, Board of Adjustment, & Design Review Board As explained in a previous memorandum, Mr. Les McCreary resigned at the sunset of his term. We published advertisements in the Okeechobee News: 6 ads in February and March = $479.00; notice sent to WOKC and announced on the February Police Department Radio Show; posted to FB and website; emailed notice to all employees, citizen board members, as well as other agencies such as OKMS, the Chamber, Economic Council, IRSC, and County offices to share. We received one new application. We have one application on file who would still like to be considered. Both are attached for your review. Additionally, I reached out to Mr. William Ward who had previously applied in case he was no longer serving on the County’s Licensing Board and wanted to be considered. Unfortunately, he is still serving on that Board, and as previously provided by Attorney General Opinion, cannot be considered due to it falling under dual office holding. Options for consideration: • Appoint a new Alternate Member, term being May 20, 2020 – April 30, 2023. • Defer appointment until a certain date and continue advertising the position. Applications Attached: Michael G. O’Connor, City Resident & Business Owner Joseph Papasso, City Business Owner Thank you, and please call me prior to the meeting if you have any questions, suggestions, or need any additional information. 55 Southeast 3ra Avenue * Okeechobee * Florida * 34974 * ( APPLICATION FOR CITY CITIZEN BOARD/COMMITTEE LIJL DF OKEECHOBEE 7$J-3372 JNTMEN ii Please print or type all information.

I am recently retired from a 45 year career in the Construction Industry in Real Estate Development. My Career started with a design draftsman position for a Civil Engineer doing Civil, Structural and Architectural drafting as well as planning, plan review for zoning compliance and some surveying. The bulk of my career was predominately with 2 different companies, both were Design Build of their own portfolio properties and dealing with the planning and approval phase was my responsibility and the backbone of our success. I have gone into detail of this on the application. Currently as I mentioned I am retired and I wish to share the knowledge that I have accumulated over my 45 year career. We live in the County in Taylor Creek Isles.and my wife and I are the co -owner's of Big Lake Hobbies and Park Street Gallery located at 513 SW Park Street. She runs the Gallery and paints, my son runs the Hobby Shop. In my past I served as a volunteer Firefighter in New Jersey and more recently here in Okeechobee as the Squadron Commander cf the Civil Air Patrol. I look forward to serving as a volunteer once again. If you need a reference, most of the County Commissioners know me as well as Dowling and Marcos from our association with different community groups, one being the Kiwanis. Respectfully, Joe Papasso
