Title VI | Nondiscrimination| ADA Plan

“In order to plan for efficient, effective, safe, equitable and reliable transportation systems, the County must have the input of its public. The County spends extensive staff and financial resources in furtherance of this goal and strongly encourages the participation of the entire community. Any person may attend any Board of County Commissioner (BOCC) Meeting including Committee Meetings and speak during the Public Comment portion of the agenda concerning a matter of the BOCC business or concern of the person. Persons should check the BOCC’s website at www.nassaucountyfl.com for a list of scheduled meetings and agendas. Persons may also call the County Administrator’s Office to receive a calendar of upcoming meetings. Meeting location is accessible to the disabled. The BOCC and/or staff members also attend other Community meetings as necessary or when invited. The Nassau County Board of County Commissioners (County) values diversity and welcomes input from all interested parties, regardless of cultural identity, background or income level. Moreover, the County believes that the best programs and services result from careful consideration of the needs of all of its communities and when those communities are involved in the transportation decision making process. Thus, the County does not tolerate discrimination in any of its programs, services or activities. Pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964and other federal and state authorities, the County will not exclude from participation in, deny the benefits of, or subject to discrimination anyone on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, income or family status. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and related federal and state laws and regulations forbid discrimination against those who have disabilities. Furthermore, these laws require federal aid recipients and other government entities to take affirmative steps to reasonably accommodate the disabled and ensure that their needs are equitably represented in transportation programs, services and activities.” Title VI Non-discrimination Policy Title VI Non-discrimination Program Complaint Form Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)/ 504 Transition Plan Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan

City Watercolor Map

City Watercolor Map Background On August 21, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4358-23 approving a recommendation from the Public Art Board to commission artist Caryn Dahm to design a watercolor map. The watercolor map is a map of the City and important local landmarks, with a total of around forty small illustrations, representing elements that define the character and the identity of the City. Ms. Dahm has worked diligently with the Public Arts Board to craft the final design and is officially presenting the Oviedo watercolor map to the City Council. The watercolor map will be displayed at a location in City Hall. In the future, the Public Art Board may use the design to be shown in merchandise to be sold to support the Public Art Fund. On July 15, 2024, the watercolor map was presented to the City Council during the presentation portion of the Regular Agenda Meeting and will be used for future projects.

Wings of Joy Sculptures Installed

Oviedo, Fla. - The City of Oviedo and the Public Arts Board are proud to announce the completion of the ‘Wings of Joy’ installation in Solary Park. ‘Wings of Joy’ features five butterfly sculptures, thoughtfully placed in the park. The idea for ‘Wings of Joy’ originated in 2022, when the Public Arts Board proposed adding a sculpture project to Solary Park. Artist Diane Boswell, who had previously designed a project in Winter Park, presented her concept for the metal panels in June 2022. The panels display five unique butterfly designs. ‘Wings of Joy’ was conceived as a contemporary artistic interpretation of butterflies, aiming to immerse visitors in joy and happiness through interactive experiences for families and friends. The panels consist of high-definition photography printed on metal. “The Oviedo Public Arts Board is thrilled about the Wings of Joy installation,” said Public Arts Board Chair, Keith Koons. “This has come after many years because of the hard work of many people in the city. We hope that it will bring joy and inspiration to all Oviedo residents and visitors.” Complementing the sculptures, butterfly-friendly landscaping will soon be added to further enhance the park’s features. Over the past week, crews prepared the site for installation, including grading, drainage, and upcoming landscape modifications. The City encourages residents and visitors to interact with the display and capture photographs, creating lasting memories for all.

Golf Course

18 hours ago

"Enjoy our championship 18-hole golf course Starting November 25, 2025, the Golf Course will be open on Mondays for the season. Highlights Located just a pleasant unhurried hour's drive from Fort Myers or West Palm Beach, and merely minutes away from U.S. Highway 27, is the Clewiston Golf Course, a beautifully maintained championship 18-hole golf course that is open to the public. Today, golfers can enjoy the same beautiful scenery and challenges that golfers experienced in the 1930s. Designed by Stiles and Van Kleeck, the course is a classic and a joy to play. Amenities such as restaurants or lodging at the historic Clewiston Inn or other well-known chain motels are less than ten minutes away. This is a favorite course for many fishermen as they can enjoy the renowned bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee and still have time to enjoy a relaxing game of golf with their friends all in one day. U.S. Sugar employees raised $5,000 on September 6, 2025, in memory of Jodi Rush, a longtime U.S. Sugar employee and AVID Golfer, at their Annual Employee Golf Tournament held a the Clewiston Golf Course. The proceeds will go to the Junior Golf Program at the Clewiston Golf Course. On behalf of the City of Clewiston, Thank You to ALL the U.S. Sugar employees."
