Consider a request to erect a business monument sign on the City rd right-of-way at the location of 210 Northeast 3 Avenue - Corey Penrod, Penrod Construction Company (Exhibit 1). Motion and second by Council Members Watford and Williams, to approve the August 2014 Warrant Register in the amounts, General Fund, three hundred sixty-eight thousand, six hundred thirty-five dollars and two cents ($368,635.02); Public Facilities Improvement Fund, fourteen thousand, seven hundred nineteen dollars and thirty-two cents ($14,719.32); Capital Improvement Projects Fund, five thousand one hundred nine dollars and ninety-seven cents ($5,109.97); Appropriations Grant Fund, twenty-four thousand, eight hundred fifty dollars ($24,850.00); and FDOT Grant Fund, three hundred twenty dollars ($320.00). There was no discussion on this item. CCAHC Chairperson, Mr. J.D. Mixon, gave the following update on the progress of the City s Centennial Celebration. They have reviewed Member Cable s research through 1980 on the historic time-line. Preliminary budgets and coordinators have been established for most events. The coordinator now has the responsibility to present a finalized budget with activities and possible sponsorships. The Okeechobee Community Theater is very excited to be a part of the Centennial and has committed to creating a play based on the City s history. In regards to the Logo, the Graphic Designer of the selected logo, will make all the suggested changes asked by the Committee at no charge. Council Member Watford asked when will it be available for viewing, to which Mr. Mixon, answered, to build as much enthusiasm as possible, the logo and the artist are to be concealed until the official unveiling in January, at the Kick-off Celebration. Council Member Maxwell mentioned he heard about the Mayor s Ball, and Mr. Mixon responded this event will be a formal black tie affair, planned for April 18, 2015, with the location to be determined. Mayor Kirk commented that those he has spoken with are very excited about the celebration. The Council thanked Mr. Mixon and the Committee for all their hard work and efforts. This request has come forward for consideration as Mr. Penrod submitted an application for a sign permit to erect a rd business monument sign on the City right-of-way at the location of 210 Northeast 3 Avenue. After City Staff reviewed the sign application, they relayed why they could not issue the permit, as it is prohibited according to City Codes; Chapter 90-Zoning, Article IV, Division 5, Section (3) reads, Freestanding monument signs are permitted within all commercial and industrial zoning districts provided that; they are located consistent with all applicable setback requirements and are not located in a public right-of-way. Staff further advised even in the event of a setback encroachment, a permit may be issued but only after a Variance is granted. Also, Section (13) Prohibited Signs reads, Signs that obstruct the vision of pedestrians, cyclists, or motorists traveling on or entering public rights-of-way, including sidewalk.

4 SEPTEMBER 16, CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING & FIRST BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING - PAGE 4 OF 11 IX. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED A. Consider a request to erect a business monument sign on the City rd right-of-way at the location of 210 Northeast 3 Avenue continued. In an attempt to indulge Mr. Penrod s request, Staff apprised him of Section (a) Placement Standards, which reads, Supports for signs or sign structures shall not be placed in or upon a public right-of-way or public easement, except under the terms of a lease between the owner of the easement or right-of-way, and the owner of the sign, or with the written approval of the City of Okeechobee, and explained they were deferring the matter to the City Council. Mr. Penrod was present and distributed a packet of supporting materials. He reviewed a time-line of events: the purchase of the property in October 2013, the completion of the building renovation in January 2014, including before and after pictures, and noted he was the recipient of the 2014 Community Award Recognizing Enhancement, sponsored by the Quality of Life Committee of the Economic Council of Okeechobee. Also, included in the packet were four examples, taken from the Property Appraiser s website, of existing structures in the City s right-of-way. They were: a sign in the right-of-way at the Chamber of Commerce, 55 South Parrott Avenue (it was discussed this sign was not in the right-of-way when constructed, but became non-conforming after a State roadway widening, and has since been removed due to additional State roadway widening); building encroachments at KST Construction, Inc., 609 Northeast nd nd 2 Avenue, and at Walpole, Inc., 111 Northeast 2 Street (it was discussed that it could not be confirmed whether these structures were in fact in the right-of-way); and parking in the right-of-way, currently Bella Rose Day Spa and nd Salon, 311 Northeast 2 Street (granted by the City Council on January 6, 2009). The Council discussed the peculiarity of this situation, as the building is over 50 years old, it can be difficult and sometimes impossible to bring older properties up to Code. They noted, the Code prohibits signs in the right-of-way and they can not justify making an exception. However, wanting to assist any business within the City, and since there were several mitigating issues, also, in the absence of the City Attorney, City Council directed Administrator Whitehall to get a written opinion from Attorney Cook, distribute to both Mr. Penrod and Council, and then should it be deemed necessary, bring it back to Council for further consideration. B. Discuss a proposed Historic Preservation Ordinance - Councilman Watford (Exhibit 2). Council Member Watford requested this item be placed on the agenda with the prompting of the recent demolitions of historical buildings, the train depot, built in 1924, and the Clay building built in 1937, as a gas station on West South Park Street. His perception was that the City took preemptive measures by adopting Resolution No , which placed a moratorium on the demolition of buildings 50 years or older, but has been advised otherwise by Attorney Cook. A rough draft ordinance, used by other entities, which would protect historical structures, was provided in Exhibit Two, for discussion only. Administrator Whitehall conveyed the process would be to direct the Planning Board to develop an ordinance, along with the City Attorney, and then forward to City Council for consideration and final approval. The consensus of the City Council was to instruct the Planning Board to move forward with review of a Historical Preservation Ordinance and submit it to City Council for consideration.

5 SEPTEMBER 16, CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING & FIRST BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING - PAGE 5 OF 11 IX. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. C. Motion to award Landscape Maintenance Bid No. PW City Administrator (Exhibit 3). Council Member Watford moved to award the Landscape and Grounds Maintenance Bid No. PW to Integrity Lawns, LLC, of Okeechobee, in the annual amount of $19,199.52, contingent on meeting all bid packet requirements; seconded by Council Member O Connor. Exhibit Three was distributed the day of the meeting which contained the bid tabulation sheet. The bids were opened at 10 A.M. September 16, and in addition to Integrity Lawns, one other was received, Quality Lawn Care at $31, (current contractor). The current contract has been in place since March 17, 2009, with five renewals. The City was notified by Quality Lawn of their intent to cancel the contract, due to the additional landscaping within the medians along South Parrott Avenue, requiring the service to be rebid. References for Integrity Lawns, LLC, were verified, as noted in the memorandum from Public Works Director Allen. Two of the five references were public entities with similar requirements, (Indian River County Parks Division, and Indian River School District). They both spoke highly of Integrity, and Indian River Parks Division just renewed their contract after two years. The Indian River School District commented that Integrity goes above and beyond what is expected and has a great work ethic. The other three references were from local businesses, in which one was very satisfied. He also inspected the landscapes of the other two businesses, and found them to be satisfactory. D. Motion to affirm an engagement letter of agreement with Fox, Wackeen, Dungey, Beard, Bush, Goldman, Kilbride, Water & McCluskey, L.L.P. for representation in the case of Lawrence Parzygnat vs. City of Okeechobee Police Department, Case No. 14- CA City Attorney (Exhibit 4).

Administrator Whitehall informed that after comparing rates of various firms, this group was more favorable, based on their rates, expertise in labor litigation, and they filed an answer within a timely fashion. He also explained our liability insurance company, Public Risk Management (PRM), will cover the case should the plaintiff ask for monetary damages, in which then they will advocate, and the above firm will be dismissed, but as of yet, monetary damages have not been expressed.
