The City wishes to partner with the Board of County Commissioners in this worthy endeavor. Enumerated items give specific ideas to be incorporated and used by both the City and County of Okeechobee Departments: 1. Use a campaign slogan to top 54%, challenging Okeechobee Os a whole to put our percentage to 75% so that we can beat Martin County, State & National a erages of 66, 63 & 67%. 2. Schedule the Mayor/Council Members/BOCC Commissioners Or City and County Administrators to speak at the Kiwansis, Rotary, Lion Club and the Economic qouncil meetings, along with VFW & American Legion Meetings. Do a live interview with Billy De n on the radio. 3. Coordinate with the Chamber, OKMS and OUA to prom to the campaign through their correspondences, water bills, materials, meetings, events, etc 4. Make sure Ms. Serrano knows about the Hero's Day (Red Cross) - June, Labor Day Festival - Sept., Christmas Festival - Dec., Speckled Perch Festival - Feb., County Fair - Mar., and has assistance through the committee to man booths at these events, including any others that are using the parks. 5. Make small stickers with the campaign slogan on it to put on II correspondences from all City Departments. (These could be made in-house with minimurn costs to purchase the sticker template). County Departments could do so as well. 6. Have buttons made with campaign slogan for all City/County employees to wear and destitute to others to wear. 7. Have magnetic signs made and put on all City/County vehicles. with campaign slogan. 8. Have banners made for down town area on the light poles with campaign slogan. 9. Make a float to be used in all parades between now and April, making sure it can be made into a lighted float for Christmas (there are at least 3 parades between now and then). 10. Team up with one of the local businesses that is going to put u a banner at the football field for the 09-10 football season that has the campaign slogan on it so all who attend the home games will see it. • • '1�7101 I/ City of Okeechobee SS SE 3"d Av Okeecho ee FL 34974--2932 Office of the City Administrator Brian Whitehall Ph 863-763 3372 Fax 763-1686 email: bwhitehalilvofokeechobee.com *****Memorandum**** '41i16 � DATE: for the May 19, 2009 City Council TO: Mayor and City Council City Clerk FR: Adm Whitehall RE: Agenda Amendment If you see fit, please add the following item to the Agenda: • Designation of Councilman D.
