MOTION CARRIED.
Administrator Whitehall addressed the Hamrick/Use of Flagler Parks Issue with the Council. The last instructions by
the Council were for the Administrator, City Attorney and Mayor to meet with Hamrick representatives. Several dates
and times to meet were offered to Mr. Hamrick and his son, Michael Hamrick. However, they were not able to work
with any of them. Michael Hamrick mailed Attorney Cook a list of legal issues that he wanted the City Attorney to
address. He has not responded to those since that was not the instructions of the Council nor would it lead to a
resolution of the situation. The consensus of the Council was that the City should continue as they are until a
resolution could be met. The Administrator should continue with processing applications for the Park as usual
until further action by the Council.
Mayor Kirk distributed copies of a letter he received from Mr. AI Stokes, former President of the Chamber of
Commerce. The letter advises that the Chamber met in April 1982 and discussed Mr. Hamrick's guidelines for tRe use
of the parks, and that the Chamber's Board of Directors received a letter from Mr. Hamrick giving his consent to the
Chamber to use the parks for the festivals. The Chambers minutes refer to the letter being received, however, a copy
of the actual letter cannot be produced. Mayor Kirk went to the Library to find a copy of an article in the Okeechobee
News which covered the Chamber Board Meeting, a copy of the article was attached which included the discussion
regarding the parks and references the letter from Mr. Hamrick. No further action was taken on this issue.
Mr. Rickey Farrel submitted a request to address the Council regarding a reduction of the parking requirements for
his new business, Firestone All American Tire and Service. The business is proposed to be located at 415 East North
Park Street (previously occupied by Wise TV/Radio Shack), which is located at the corner of East North Park Street
and Northeast 4th Avenue, beside McDonald's Restaurant. Loris Asmussen is the engineer for the project, Mr. Tom
Elmore is selling the property to Mr. Farre, all were present at the meeting. The Technical Review Committee (TRC)
reviewed the site plan at the June 28, 2006 meeting. The action taken by the TRC was to approve the site, subject
to the City Council approving a reduction in parking, and that a parking study is presented for the Council to make this
decision.
