Hello J.J.,
Since applying I have been appointed to another board and feel that I would be stretching myself thin. I do believe this
is important and believe that Main Street is well represented with Mrs. Scott and tourism will be well represented by the
board in whole.
So I must withdraw my application. Thanlc you for the consideration,

Good Morning Sharie,
Paulette Bragel resigned from the Flagler Park Design Review Committee and they will be voting on a replacement to
appoint at tomorrow night's City Council meeting. Are you still interested in being in consideration for the alternate
spot? I know it's been a few months so we are just double checking with everyone.
Thanks!

Traveled USA extensively with focus on smaller towns. Have gotten perspective from thriving
and not doing well towns across USA. Have lived the "coast life" and while appreciate the
economic benefits the commercialization can provide, moved to Okeechobee for its
small town appeal (while still retaining easy access to more population -dense commercial
outlets. Am interested in helping Okeechobee thrive while maintaining its character.
Have a formal education in Accounting, spent some time in Law School, and have been self-
employed since 1996 in technology and online marketing fields. Understand cost/benefit

with a diverse set of people, and the challenges inherent in all aspects of running a small
business. Diverse exposure.

Former Executive Director of Main Street which gave me the opportunity to understand the
needs of the downtown festivals and events in the parks.
Former Executive Director of Main Street where I gave a presentation for park improvements
which focused on walkability and pedestrians.
Current Board Member of Main Street where we hope to see more public art brought to our
community.
Being a current County employee that is subject to Public Records, Sunshine as well as reporting
to the Board of County Commissioners and the Tourist Development Council Advisory board I
am prepared to work with a committee that is held to these same standards and rules.
Most importantly is my position as the Tourism Coordinator for Okeechobee. I believe the parks
are one of the most valuable assets we have to inspire drive by visitation. By bringing an
inviting look to our downtown brings visitors from the main highway to our downtown area. This
corridor could be invitation for those that typically would just be driving through to now stopping
and spending time in our community. Visitation should be a priority when these improvements
are being considered as well as business development and downtown revitalization. Currently
tourism's focus is the drive market and now would be the time to take advantage of this trend.
