STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Bruce Nordquist, CLP, Director of Recreation
DATE: February 17, 2000
RE: Starke Lake Boat Ramp Restrooms
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the construction of the Starke Lake Boat Ramp Restrooms.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City of Ocoee has received a grant (attachment) from Orange County's 1999-2000 Florida Boating
Improvement Program (FBIP). The source of FBIP funds are the fees that the State collects from the registration of
noncommercial vessels. These funds may be used for the construction, expansion, renovation, repair or installation
of boat launching facilities or any boat related support facilities such as restrooms, lighting, water sewer, etc.. A
single project or grant application that is less than $100,000 does not require any local match. The City of Ocoee's
grant application requests $79,060 to construct restrooms at the Starke Lake boat ramp (attachment). This estimate
was received by utilizing the specifications and site plans from Architect Jim Swickeraths rendering of the restrooms
that were bid on in the past. The staff would like to utilize these plans to go out to bid for the restrooms. The grant
requires the City to submit invoices and proof of payment to the Orange County Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board upon completion of the project. A representative from the Grant Review Committee will perform a site
inspection and if the project is found consistent with the application the funds will be reimbursed to the City of
Ocoee. The City has earmarked monies from the Capital reserve fund to finance the restrooms and design($64,060)
and monies from the Utility fund to finance the sewer and lift station($15,000). As stated earlier, these funds will be
reimbursed upon completion of the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the construction of the Starke Lake
Boat Ramp restrooms utilizing City funds with reimbursement upon completion. And utilizing the specifications and
site plans of Architect Jim Swickerath from a previous bid package.
