AND
CITY OF OKEECHOBEE
This Amendment to Agreement No. LPQ0007 (Agreement), as previously amended, is made by and
between the Department of Environmental Protection (Department), an agency of the State of Florida, and
City of Okeechobee (Grantee), on the date last signed below.
WHEREAS, the Department entered into the Agreement with the Grantee for Okeechobee Taylor Creek

WHEREAS, the Grantee has requested an extension of the Agreement due to delays in the design process;
and,
WHEREAS, certain provisions of the Agreement need revision.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Section 3. of the Standard Grant Agreement is hereby revised to change the Date of Expiration to
June 30, 2024. The Department and the Grantee shall continue to perform their respective duties
during this extension period pursuant to the same terms and conditions provided in the Agreement.
2. Attachment 3, Project Timeline Detail, is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
