ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA, UPDATING THE FIVE-YEAR SCHEDULE
OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS MANDATED BY
FLORIDA STATUTES SECTION 163.3177(3)(b); PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT, PROVIDING FOR

C. Ms. Sharie Turgeon, Executive Director of Okeechobee Main Street (OKMS), and Ms. Magi Cable,
President of Okeechobee Historical Society (OHS), made a presentation regarding their interest in
placing historic signs along S Park Street. The intent is to identify buildings with historical significance by
adding informational signs to the existing lampposts. Ms. Cable clarified this was not intended to be a
large-scale project or to place the buildings on any historical registries. A drawing of the buildings with
historical significance was displayed, along with an example of the signage. A copy of these items has
been incorporated into the official minute file. Administrator Ritter and Attorney Hyden advised to allow
such signs would require amendments to the existing sign regulations within the Code of Ordinances.
Following a discussion, motion and second made by Council Members Jarriel and McAuley to allow
OKMS and OHS to place historic signage in the area designated in the 1999 Proposed Historical District
Study. It was clarified, the motion was to allow the concept so it could be developed further, while
revisions to the sign regulations could be adopted. Motion Carried Unanimously.

authorize Mayor Watford to execute a] letter of support to Okeechobee County Economic Development
