Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to identify and prioritize new key projects within the City
and scheduled for completion during Fiscal Year 2022-2023. The goal is to complete or
substantially complete all projects listed by September 30, 2023.
Our City government is dynamic with changing financial conditions and priorities. Strategic
planning helps any local government, including the City, realize its long-term vision by setting
up goals and objectives in a systematic, incremental manner. However, it is important to have
solid year to year goals and objectives not only to meet budget priorities and provide services to
our constituents but to assure projects fall in line with long term strategic plans. The strategic
plan is a big-picture document directing efforts and resources toward a clearly defined vision.
Simply put, it makes you look at what's going on today, where you want to be tomorrow, and
which steps you will need to take to get there. A defined plan to meet budget initiatives serves as
the City's and its community's roadmap and is used to prioritize initiatives, resources, goals, and
department operations and projects.
Strategic Planning
The City's strategic plan provides our public with a roadmap for meeting 5 year long term goals
and priorities to meet the core mission of the City of Okeechobee which is to provide services
that enhance the quality of life for our citizens and businesses in a fiscally sound manner. To
accomplish this year in and year out as our community grows, we must continuously focus on
key areas.
Roads—Right of Way—mediums, drainage sidewalks, striping,road maintenance continue to
implement 5-year plans. (Exhibit 2, Exhibit 3,Exhibit 4)

maintenance. Throughout the year we will continue to tweak and revise our future land use and
zoning maps, as well as update the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Public Outreach and Involvement with Goals and Objectives
The Council and staff will continue to have a key role in engaging, refining, and implementing
an action plan on behalf of the community. Community outreach and involvement is the process

EXHIBIT 2
Prioritization of Road Projects
Overview
According to data submitted to FDOT by the City, there are approximately 62 miles of paved
roads within the City with an additional 2.5 miles of unpaved shell roads. Using an assumed
pavement life of 50 years,the City would need to resurface slightly over two miles of road each
year to maintain the quality of the roads within the City.At the present installed cost of$128.40
per ton of asphalt, the cost of maintaining the roadway conditions for the City would be
approximately $140,000 per year. In addition to the asphalt cost, an additional $20,000 is needed
for ancillary costs such as required milling and striping which brings the annual roadway
maintenance cost to approximately$160,000 per year.
Public works has undertaken an evaluation of the existing road conditions. The evaluation
process consisted of a driving survey of the City's roads by the Public Works Director.During
the evaluation, the City's roads were classified using a four(4)tier classification for paved roads
and identification of shell/millings roads and unimproved right-of-way. The general
classifications are, Excellent, Good,Fair and Poor.
The results of the field survey have been tabulated into a database for future use. The data can be
sorted by road condition for future use. It is intended that the data will also be entered into a
Geographic Information System so the information can easily be displayed graphically.
Although the process was very subjective,volume considerations were used in cases where it
was challenging to categorize the road. Without engaging the services of a consultant with
technical roadway evaluation equipment, it would be difficult to further refine the evaluation
process. The four pavement condition classifications are defined as follows:
• Excellent
These roads have typically been resurfaced within the last 5 years.

• Poor
These roads have major issues such as spalling or pushing or have had significant damage
from other causes. Asphalt spalling is where portions of the roadway have broken up and
material is missing,typically referred to as potholes. Asphalt sliding is where a road been
previously resurfaced and there is not a sufficient bond between the layers of asphalt. The top
layer of asphalt breaks free from the lower layer and is dislocated. Sliding is also known as
slipping or pushing.

2023 Pavement projects:
The following projects are based on the roadway recently completed and community input. In To
maximize the effective use of available funds,project segments have been identified that will
require at a minimum of 50 tons of asphalt. The price for asphalt based on tons used is as
follows:
1 to 20 Tons - $247.90/Ton
20 to 50 tons - $156.00/Ton
Over 50 Tons $128.40/Ton
The prices above are from the previous Okeechobee County paving project. It is anticipated that
there will be an adjustment this year due to increased fuel and material costs.

Prioritization of Sidewalk Maintenance
The sidewalk plan consists of two major components, rehabilitation, and ADA ramp
construction. During the budget process it was determined to shift funds from new sidewalk
construction to repair and maintenance to bring existing sidewalks and ADA ramps within the
City to a safe and functional condition.
Sidewalk Rehabilitation
City Public Works staff has completed a survey of existing sidewalks and identified
approximately 1,165 liner feet of sidewalk that requires replacement. In some areas with curb
and gutter replacement will need to include these components as well. The list of repairs needed
are prioritized as a Priority 1, in poor condition and Priority 2 in fair condition. In addition, staff
has listed those areas where rehabilitation of sidewalks is complete.

ADA Ramp Construction
To meet current access requirements, additional ADA ramps are required in the downtown area
as well as the reconstruction of some of the existing ramps for them to meet current standards. It
is proposed that ADA sidewalk ramp along with an ADA parking space be installed mid-block
on each side of South Park street to meet ADA requirements. A survey of Southeast and
Southwest Park streets has identified a total of 30 ADA ramps are required. In the future,
additional ramps should be constructed mid-block on the side streets connecting to South Park
Street where parking exists for business access.
14IPage
Currently 13 ADA ramps have been completed, and 1 ramp has been determined to not be
constructable due to utility conflicts. Of the remaining ramps,two will be constructed as part of
SW 5th Avenue SCOP resurfacing project. Public Works is proposing to construct seven
additional ramps as part of the 2023 Sidewalk Plan.

Prioritization of Striping
The City has experienced two traffic accidents at intersections entering onto either US 441 or SR
70 where the lane markings were a contributing factor. Several of these intersections have been
addressed previously. In 2023,the remaining approaches to state highways will be a primary
focus. Updates for these intersections will include, stop bars, centerline markings, turn lane
markings and arrows where required and the application of raised pavement markers.

Example of faded pavement markings on an approach to a state highway
In addition to the highway approaches,repainting of parking spaces in as much of the area
surrounding the county courthouse will be a priority project in 2023.
Once the pressing issue of highway approaches has been addressed, systematic pavement
marking work will be as previously outlined in the 2019 marking plan. City streets have been
classified into three categories,Primary, Secondary, and Ancillary depending on the desired
level of service as follows:
Primary Streets.
Streets located within the Central Business district including and other key business areas and
high use through streets. Primary streets will be painted every second year with the primary
streets located South of Park street (SR70)painted during even years and streets North of Park
Street painted during odd years. Markings for Primary Streets will include centerline, stop bars,
16IP , g ,_
and where appropriate,parking spaces and cross walks.A list of Primary Streets is provided in
Table 1.
Secondary Streets
Streets located within secondary business areas and other streets as classified in section 3.01.01
of the Manual Uniform Traffic Control Devises (MUTCD)and in the MUTCD 2009 Edition
Chapter 3B. Secondary streets will also include the first block adjacent to Park Street(SR70) and
Parrott Avenue (US 441), and other areas such as streets near public facilities such as schools,
the courthouse. Markings for Secondary Streets will include centerline, stop bars, and where
appropriate,parking spaces and cross walks. Secondary Streets will be painted on a rotating four-
