Mayor Watford proclaimed the month of September, 2017 as Hunger Action Month. The proclamation was presented to Ms. Meg Buckley and Ms. Paige Shortsleeve. The document was read into the record as follows: Whereas, hunger and poverty remain issues of grave concern in the United States, the State of Florida, the Treasure Coast, and Okeechobee County; and Whereas, Okeechobee County is committed to taking steps to raise awareness about the need to combat hunger in every part of our County and to provide additional resources that citizens of Okeechobee County need; and Whereas, food banks and hunger relief organizations across the country, including the Treasure Coast Food Bank, will participate in Hunger Action Day on September 14 th and will host numerous events throughout the month of September to shed light on this important issue and encourage involvement in efforts to end hunger in their local community. Now, Therefore, I, Dowling R. Watford, Jr., by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Okeechobee, Florida, do hereby proclaim the month of September, 2017 as HUNGER ACTION MONTH. Mayor Watford proclaimed the month of September, 2017 as National Suicide Awareness Prevention Month and presented the proclamation to Ms. Deb Dreher which read: Whereas, September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and mental health providers across the nation are reaching out to communities to engage in open discourse, providing vital information on how to detect the signs of suicide and what to do when they are apparent; and Whereas, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is the second leading cause of death in Florida for people ages 10 to 34, and the leading cause of violent death in the U.S. for adults ages 35 to 65; and Whereas, on the Treasure Coast and in Okeechobee, 66 people have died by suicide so far in 2017, with 541 people dying by suicide in the previous five years; and Whereas, these staggering numbers don t adequately represent the families that have been torn apart by suicide, nor the trauma resulting from the sudden and violent loss of a loved one that will impact children and adults for years to come; and Whereas, there is hope, however, because suicide is 100 percent preventable, through education, outreach and treatment. It all begins with a conversation; one human helping another. Now, Therefore, I, Dowling R. Watford, Jr., by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Okeechobee, Florida, do hereby proclaim September 2017 as NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH. VI.

Hurricane Irma Recovery Status - Mayor Watford Mayor Watford provided an update related to events during and following Hurricane Irma s landfall across the State on Sunday, September 10, While Okeechobee was spared major devastation, our neighboring communities were not. Most of Okeechobee s Florida Power and Light and Glades Electric Co-op, Inc., customers lost electricity, as of today, both utility companies had restored electricity to all but less than 100 customers. The Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) was able to maintain water and wastewater operations. City-wide there was damage to traffic signals, roadway signage, with trees and landscaping bearing the brunt of the damage. Seven residences suffered major damage as well as Tanglewood Apartments (a six building duplex/triplex facility) located in the blocks of Northwest 9 th Street, two homes were destroyed. Thankfully, there was no loss of life. The normal protocols were activated at the Okeechobee Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The Mayor, Chief s, Public Works Director, and City Administrator attended and participated in the informational meetings, and disseminated information to the community or responded with services appropriately. The cooperation and level of comradery between the City and County Staff was exceptional as it was obvious that their first concern was always for the safety of the residents. Mayor Watford and each Council Member offered noteworthy situations they observed where employees went above and beyond to assist others, regardless of whether they were City or County, no matter how difficult or demanding it required them to be. Citizens were commended for offering help to their neighbors. Local businesses remained open longer hours before the storm and took extra measures to re-open quickly afterwards. The local media (radio station WOKC and the Okeechobee News) was applauded for their efforts in keeping the information up to date to the citizens.

4 VIII. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED A. Hurricane Irma Recovery Status continued. SEPTEMBER 19, REGULAR MEETING & FINAL BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING - PAGE 4 OF 11 Okeechobee does not have a local television station and the area has to rely on the stations located in Palm Beach County. Unfortunately, the majority of these stations did not see the importance of providing news updates from Okeechobee, except WPBF News Channel 25, which Mayor Watford was grateful they took his calls to conduct telephone interviews, as well as a telephone interview from CNN news. It was comforting to have telephone calls from Governor Scott s office and an aide from the White House Office of Inter-Governmental Affairs. Congressman Rooney and Florida Representative Pigman visited the EOC command center; their aides have continued to keep in touch and assist in the distribution and clean-up operations. The Army Corps of Engineers and South Florida Water Management District s updates and assistance were appreciated and commended. The National Guard was staged at the Okeechobee County Agri-Center; they along with Operations Director Matt Dorriety were very efficient in providing supplies to residents. All in all, the community came together, everyone pitched-in going above and beyond what is expected, and then extended that same willingness and assisted surrounding counties with man-power and resources. It has been a shining moment well worth documenting. There was no official action required for this item. B. Motion to re-appoint Mr. Herb Smith to the Firefighters Pension Board of Trustees, term being October 1, 2017, through September 30, City Clerk (Exhibit 1).

Council Member O Connor moved to re-appoint Mr. Herb Smith to the Firefighters Pension Board of Trustees, term being October 1, 2017, through September 30, 2021; seconded by Council Member Ritter. Mayor Watford expressed his appreciation to Chief Smith for serving in this capacity. C. Consider a recommendation by City Attorney Cook to proceed with foreclosure proceedings for Super Stop Petroleum, Inc., located at 510 Northeast Park Street, due to property owner s failure to honor terms of the Lien Release Agreement with a lien in the amount of $29,500.00, which was to be released if the new owner brought the property into compliance; nothing has been done as of this date to bring the property into compliance with City ordinances - Attorney Cook.

He asked that the Council remember the tax payers are paying for this and that it is a re-occurring cost, not a one time expense. He commented on proposed Public Facility Improvement projects cautioning on the acceptance of grants and the sidewalk program, suggesting before any additional sidewalks are installed that the City maintain and repair the ones in place.
