Deputy City Clerk Whitford called the roll. PRESENT: Mayor Vandergrift, Commissioners Anderson, Johnson, and Parker. Also present were City Manager Gleason, Recreation Director Farmer, and Deputy City Clerk Whitford. ABSENT: Commissioner Howell DISCUSSION of RECREATION PROGRAMS Commissioner Parker explained why she had asked for the meeting. She cited many of Ocoee's existing recreation programs and asked for input from the other Commissioners and those present in the audience. Commissioner Anderson said he wanted the City's recreation ratio to be where it is currently, but without including the golf course. Commissioner Johnson stated the main issues that need to be addressed were properties, buildings, and how to finance them as well as the cost of additional (or the expansion) of current programs. Mayor Vandergrift talked about the Recreation Advisory Board and suggested the members of that board go out and ride through all the parks to see how each is utilized. He asked Recreation Director Farmer about the park map which shows where each park is located and indicates what is in each park. Mayor Vandergrift said the important issues are land, buildings and the services coming out of those buildings. He referred to a conceptual drawing map of the Beech Center and spoke about the ball fields and hiking trails shown on the drawing. He mentioned the new George Bailey complex in Windermere that Orange County helped to fund and suggested the County as a possible revenue source for the same type of facility in Ocoee. City Manager Gleason said the City tried to keep an updated inventory of the fields because of the calls and the demand for practice time. He said the biggest demand was for passive areas and stated impact fees would never carry the full cost, but the City has been very successful in recent years obtaining grants. He referred to a letter from Recreation Advisory Board member Veronica Royce, who suggested a nature path and natural gardens connecting to the West Orange Bike Trail. Mr. Gleason said there are multiple definitions of recreation beyond baseball, football, and soccer; but all of them take money to operate. Recreation Advisory Board Chairman Gordon Applegate said he would like to see the City purchase a 15 acre piece of land to be used for practice fields leaving the regular fields for D U;.J U i. City Commission Work Session March 14,2002. actual games. Bulldog Chairman Dan Coleman expressed the same sentiment regarding the need for more practice fields and protecting the regular fields, during the off season. Little League Chairman Gary Hood reiterated the need for more practice fields and said the need would only get worse as Ocoee grows. He spoke against user fees and offered a suggestion that the developers be required to set a side an area in each subdivision for parks that can be used as either practice fields or passive park areas. Tennis Instructor Jack Vinson gave an overview of his tennis program and stated the two courts he uses are in need of repair and he could use a blower to keep the sand off the courts. Commissioner Parker inquired as to what would need to be done to repair the tennis courts. Mr. Vinson stated they could be resurfaced and that their current condition poses a liability due to the cracks and their slipperiness. Mr. Vinson also said there is a need for more courts if the program is to expand and offer league or tournament play. Soccer Board member Carrie Milligan inquired about why the area behind the Beech Center isn't used for practice fields. Mayor Vandergrift responded partly because of money and partly because some of that area is in the flood plain. Mr. Gleason said that part of that area is a wet lands area and can't be developed. He said that piece of land was purchased from the utility fund and Engineering was reluctant to develop it. He explained special assessment fees and impact fees. He talked about where Ocoee is in relationship with Orange County regarding impact fees. Recess 7:35 p.m. - 7:40 p.m. Recreation Director Johnny Farmer gave an overview of where the sources of funds for recreation and for parks. He gave a breakdown of what some of the monies are used for such as staff, mowing, chemicals, and general maintenance. Line Dance Instructor Linda Marshall stated her main need in order to offer more classes would be a regularly available room on Tuesday nights. She said a stability of schedule is necessary. Jazzercise Instructor Patty Keener stated she too needed a regular schedule. Dance Instructor Catt Pisano gave an overview of her dance program and stated her main need as a wood floor. She said that would help reduce liability as the current floor is quite slippery. Karate Instructor Paul Robinson said he believed Karate is as important as baseball and 2 • L ! Jv City Commission Work Session March 14,2002. football type sports. Mr. Robinson said many of his students are "at risk" kids, some have been referred to him by guidance counselors, while others have low self esteem, or just don't see themselves as athletic and fitting into "regular" type sports programs. He said his greatest need is mirrors for the practice room and said the Karate club was willing to help foot some of the expense, but since the room was used for other functions safety was an issue. Mr. Robinson suggested that signs be put up by the buildings which stated what classes or activities are held in that building. All the speakers thanked the Commission and the City of Ocoee for all of their support and concern for the youth in Ocoee. COMMISSION COMMENTS Commissioner Parker 1) Explained she had asked for this meeting with the leaders involved in Ocoee's recreation program so that the City Commission could get a clear picture of the status of each segment of the program and explore the needs of each part in relation to the whole. 2) Said they would put all the information into a format and work on possible options. 3) She thanked those present for the spirit of cooperation. 4) Said the City really cares about its kids. Commissioner Johnson said the spokespersons for each program should go back to their members in their programs and let the families know they need to help encourage the County to help build a facility on the north side like they did on the south in Windermere. Commissioner Anderson 1) Said he would like all the different groups to have a say at the Recreation Board meetings and encouraged them to attend as another venue to be heard. 2) Said if the audience liked anything they heard regarding special assessments to talk to their Commissioner or the Mayor. 3) Said from what he heard costs of the programs are being kept down and he applauded everyone for their efforts. 4) Said as the City grows and our web-site evolves the Recreation Department schedule will be posted.

PUBLIC HEARINGS First Reading of Ordinance No. 2002-11 to Consider Transmittal of Proposed Amendments to the Ocoee Comprehensive Plan Amendment (EAR Amendment). (Director of Planning Wagner) City Attorney Rosenthal read the title only of the Ordinance. Director of Planning Wagner explained the importance of the Transmittal Public Hearing and that the update is required by State Statute. He gave a brief overview of what the Commission could expect to see in the updated document, such as clarifications, eliminations of discrepancies, inconsistencies, and some significant policy changes. Mr. Wagner said the existing Comprehensive Plan has served Ocoee well and there are very few amendments and very few land use changes. Mr. Wagner explained for the public and viewing audience what a Comprehensive Plan is. He introduced Sr. Planner McGinnis who gave a power point presentation displaying an overview of the changes. Ms. McGinnis stated that data throughout the plan had been updated. She spoke about Ocoee's population and employment projections and significant changes in the City's occupancy statistics based on the 2000 census. She explained some portions of the original Plan included only the City proper and not the Joint Planning Area (JPA). She said those portions had been updated to include the JPA. In covering the Transportation and Housing Elements Ms. McGinnis talked about the changes that had been Page 3 of 10 DRAFT Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting March 19, 2002 made and gave statistics of the current city limits with and without the JPA included. She showed land use maps that indicated developed and undeveloped land and maps that displayed residential, commercial, industrial, and conservation areas. Ms. McGinnis also gave an overview of the Infrastructure Element and the Conservation Element and showed the amended maps. The Recreation and Open Space Element amendments were discussed briefly, followed by a list of items that had been updated and included in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element. Ms. McGinnis stated a section on concurrency management system was the major change in the Capital Improvements Element. Ms. McGinnis reported on the Development Review Committee and Local Planning Agency meetings and their recommendations. The map amendments were reviewed and discussed. Director of Planning Wagner reiterated that there were a number of land use changes in the amendment and detailed those that were most significant for the Commission. He reviewed new policies and policy changes stating the major policy change was regarding the creation of more flexibility in the 100-year flood plain areas. He explained that the old policy had served Ocoee well in protecting the City's natural water bodies, but it had limited the City's ability to provide for low impact recreational amenities in those areas. Mr. Wagner reported the changes in the policy regarding wetlands and landlocked basins. He explained the changes were done in order to allow some flexibility, particularly in the Ocoee Land Development Code, and yet be restrictive enough to protect the land within the 100-year flood plain. A brief discussion ensued with Mr. Wagner and City Attorney Rosenthal responding to questions. The public hearing was opened. Scott Henderson, Henderson Planning Group, 112 South Lake Avenue, Orlando, addressed the Commission regarding policy 5.9 Uses within the 100-Year Flood Plain. He distributed a handout with his desired criteria for recreational uses and storm water management within the 100-year flood hazard area. Mr. Henderson stated he would like an endorsement from the Commission that the criteria as stated in his handout is the criteria the Commission would like to have him use to design his project. A lengthy discussion ensued with Mr. Wagner responding to questions and City Attorney Rosenthal clarifying some issues. One of the issues addressed by City Attorney Rosenthal was the use of the word "public" in reference to policy 2.3. The Commission summarily expressed to Mr. Henderson that this hearing was not the forum in which to seek to have his project approved. The Commission stated to Mr. Henderson that he needed to present a completed plan to the City for approval. Without objection staff was directed to review the list of criteria on Mr. Henderson's handout and if staff has any ideas to convey them to Mr. Henderson and keep the Commission updated. R.P. Monackey, 1820 Prairie Lake Blvd., Ocoee, inquired about the word "passive" in relationship to recreational land use. Mr. Wagner stated the word "passive" has been eliminated. City Manager Gleason and the Commission expressed their gratitude to the Planning Department for the hard work they have put forth not only on this project, but in all they do to Page 4 of 10 DRAFT Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting March 19, 2002 keep Ocoee's developmental requirements at a superior standard.

Ma or nder. if seconded I Commissioner Anderson moved to a I I rove the staff recommendation to transmit the proposed amendments of the Ocoee Comprehensive Amendment (EAR Amendment) with all the ERRATA and Addenda sheets distributed and the additional change of deleting the word public in policy 2.3 of the conservation areas.

(City Manager Gleason) City Manager Gleason gave a brief account of why the last two cleaning companies were terminated. Mr. Gleason stated that a request for proposals (RFP) was advertised by the City. Mr. Gleason explained that Public Director Smith felt the job could be done in-house for the same amount of money as the City was paying for outside services and submitted a bid. Mr. Gleason assured the Commission that Mr. Smith had been required to follow the same cost parameters as the other bidders and did not have knowledge of the other bids. City Man ager Gleason suggested the Commission strongly consider the bid from Public Works. Mayor Vandergrift asked if any of the bidders were present and wished to speak. None other than Public Works were present. Mr. Smith thanked Denver Music and Kim Campbell for their assistance in putting together the proposal. He told the Commission that by doing the job in- house with City Employees was the only way he could guarantee on a continuous basis the job would be done to the level of quality the City needs. Mr. Smith responded to questions about employees and their supervision from the Commission. Commissioner Anderson expressed some concern about the status of the employees hired to do the custodial work if the Commission decided to return to an outside contractor. City Manager Gleason responded. Commissioner Johnson suggested putting the custodial staff from the Recreation Department and the Public Works custodial staff all under one "umbrella." The rest of the Commission stated they were in agreement. Commissioner Parker, seconded by Commissioner Anderson moved to reject the bids. Motion carried 5-0. Commissioner Howell, seconded by Commissioner Parker moved to approve in-house custodial services. Motion carried 5-0.

In that way anything that didn't sell could be left at the curb for the spring/fall cleanup pickup. A discussion followed with some of the pitfalls that might occur if this suggestion was amended into the ordinance.

He said he did not think Superior was getting all the customers they were supposed to have and it is not only short changing Superior, but the City is also losing revenue. City Manager Gleason said there had been a meeting with Superior and there was a dramatic difference between what Superior had bid on and what they were actually getting. Commissioner Johnson suggested the City sanitation supervisors go to the actual business and verify what company's dumpster is there and if it is not Superior the City should notify the business they are in violation. Mayor Vandergrift suggested a letter be sent out to all the businesses within the City and notify them it is illegal to use someone other than Superior and to notify the City if they are being told something else.

Mayor Van dergrift said in June when the City has its spring clean up he would like to have volunteers with flat shovels try to remove the asphalt. Mayor Vandergrift said he would like to see the City adopt an attitude that when the brick streets need repair the bricks get replaced, not filled in with asphalt. Commissioner Anderson 1. Said Maine Street needs to be covered over with fill dirt to protect the bricks from being stolen. 2.
