WHEREAS, there are located within the City of Okeechobee certain public parks and other areas owned by the City of Okeechobee that are intended for, and open for use by, the general public, with certain restrictions; and WHEREAS, these functions range from large gatherings which attract many participants, to very small groups, which may or may not cause traffic control problems, and vary in intensity; and WHEREAS, current regulations require the same liability insurance coverage for any such group authorized to gather in the parks or on city lands, which creates a hardship on the smaller gatherings; NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved and adopted by the City Council for the City of Okeechobee, Florida the following resolution: 1. THAT permission for charitable or benevolent organizations, or non profit groups, to engage in certain activities in City parks or on City lands, Is governed by Article IV, Sections 14-141 to 14-149 of the City Code of Ordinances, which regulations and restrictions shall be considered by General Services whenever an application or request for use of public areas is made, and followed accordingly. 2.

However, smaller groups for prayer meetings; weddings; boy and girl scouting; and similar type events are also authorized In parks and in public places, but are also subject to the requirements of Article IV of the City Code. 4. THAT current regulations require the applicant for an event to procure liability insurance In the sum of $ 1 million; the cost of which is or may be prohibitive for smaller and more informal groups. 5. THEREFORE, for any application wherein it appears to the Department of General Services that the participants thereof may be 100 or fewer persons, the liability insurance requirement shall be waived. The City reserves the right to require the participants to execute a hold harmless agreement, depending upon the nature and impact of the event.

WHEREAS, there are located within the City of Okeechobee certain public parks and other areas owned by the City of Okeechobee that are intended for, and open for use by, the general public, with certain restrictions; and WHEREAS, these uses change from time to time, and problems arise by certain uses that are not anticipated, but should be the subject of regulation and control by the City of Okeechobee for the safety and welfare of its citizens, and which requires supplementing existing rules as necessary; NOW THEREFORE, it is resolved before the City Council for 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: THAT permission for charitable or benevolent organizations, or non-profit groups, to engage in certain activities in City parks or on City lands, is governed by Article IV, Sections 14-141 to 14-149 of the City Code of Ordinances, which regulations and restrictions shall be considered by General Services whenever an application or request for use of public areas is made, and followed accordingly. 2. THAT for any authorized use of the public parks or rights -of -way within the City, the following regulations shall be followed, as applicable: a. The organization or permit holder, or their designee, shall be responsible to completely clean up the public area used by the permit, within two days of completion of the event, unless otherwise designated in the permit. b. No trailers unattached to a motor vehicle shall be parked along any street or avenue or public right-of-way, or in a marked parking spot, unless the right-of-way is closed for the event, not otherwise blocked off by the City. No other motor vehicles or trailers will be allowed to park or remain on the Park grounds unless prior written approval is obtained from the City Public Works Director or their designee, or such vehicle or trailer is participating in an event such as a permitted activity or car show. Any motor vehicle or trailer parked in violation of this section may be towed by the City at the owner's expense, who shall be liable for all towing and storage fees. C. Golf carts, 4-wheelers or other vehicles not licensed for use on public rights -of -way, will not be permitted on the Park grounds without prior written approval of the City Public Works Director or their designee. d. Certain events, such as but not limited to parades, or those which draw a large number of people, require significant incurring of costs Page 1 of 2 by the City, for traffic control, crowd control, fire safety, paramedic service, or general policing, which often requires adding personnel, and incurring overtime labor expense. For any such event, the City may require the organization or permit holder to be responsible for these additional costs, including property or personal injury damages that may occur during the event. There will be a mandatory inspection meeting between the Public Works Director or their designee and a representative from the permit holder prior to and after each event. Any additional expenses as stated above, will be billed to the organization or permit holder, who shall pay such sum to the City. e. For activities in Flagler Park, the use of generators for power is encouraged, as electric outlets are limited and subject to the right of the City to deny their use. When generators or extension cords are used, the applicant shall cause a U.L. approved extension cord of proper gauge to be safely attached, and routed so as to not interfere with any pedestrian path, or in such area as may pose a risk of harm to the public or other participants.
