 created Okeechobee County and provided

that Okeechobee County should be the

temporary county seat. Chapter 8318

Specials Acts 1919 created the City of

Okeechobee. It remained the County seat. The corporate authority is vested in an elected five member City Council and elected City Clerk.

 

 

 

The City currently operates with a City

 Administrator which parallels the organization of a business corporation.

That is, the voters (stockholders) elect the members of the City Council (Board of Directors) The day-to-day operation of the City government is delegated to the City Administrator. He is responsible to the City Council for the daily operations of the municipal government, except for the office

of the City Clerk.
