Attomey Cook inteDected that Robin Brock attended the grant meeting in Gainsville on behalf of the City. However,
due to the tight deadlines, the City would not be able to apply for these funds on their own. The City and County can
apply jointly, which is the purpose for the Interlocal. Issues of priority to be presented for the funds are the Waste
Water Plant expansion for Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA); drainage in the Southwest Section of the City and
County. Various Code Violations. Mayor Kirk encouraged Council to stay in touch with the County and to attend the
next County Commissioners Meeting, March 24. Council Member Dowling Watford was appointed to represent the
Council at the County meeting. Any matters that related to code enforcement for clean up of properties should also
be submitted to Mr. Belcher so that she can compile the list.
While the Council thanked Ms. Belcher for her work on the grant, Council Member Markham voiced his concems with
getting the information as such a late hour and having to render information within 24 hours as to areas that the city
needs addiitonal help with due to the hurrican damage. Ms. Belcher responded that she understood Mr. Markham's
frustration, however, the state is the one dictating the deadlines and due to when they began releasing the information,
it has unfortumately been a very tight time frame for the county as well.
