Staff Report
Date: April 10, 2000
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Janet G. Shira, Community Relations/Projects Director 6
Subject: 1999/2000 MVP Neighborhood Matching Grant Awards Recipients
Attached please find the Grant Award Agreements for the nine neighborhoods who applied this year. (Please
note that there were originally 10 applications; however, The Hammocks withdrew on April 10.) The first
page of each document outlines the dollar amount being provided under the grant, the neighborhood funds
contributed, and the number of volunteer hours dedicated to accomplishing the project. The last page of each
document(Exhibit A)provides a summary of the project.
Five of the neighborhoods have received MVP grants before and four are applying for the first time. It is
apparent that much time and thought went into developing these projects. The neighborhoods have already had
meetings to discuss budgets, put together plans, and get necessary approvals. I would especially like to
commend the Waterside neighborhood group for their organizational efforts and for their exceptional
application. All applications are available for review in the Community Relations Department or please feel
free to request copies.
The City of Ocoee is providing a total of $20,701.40 towards making these projects a reality for these
neighborhoods. The neighborhoods are contributing a total of$42,917 in cash and $11,480 in volunteer time
(valued at $10 per hour) for a grand total of $54,397. So for each dollar the City is contributing, the
neighborhoods are contributing $2.62. Above and beyond the monetary value and physical improvements to
the neighborhoods,neighbors are getting to know each other better through this process which ultimately builds
a stronger community.
I have asked the project leaders to have at least one representative at the City Commission meeting to answer
any questions on their respective projects. Staff respectfully recommends that the City Commission authorize
the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the award agreements and that the City Commission then award the checks to
the neighborhoods.

EXHIBIT A
Project Description
Wesmere Subdivision
•
The homeowners will be adding landscaping (oak trees, ligustrums, and viburnum hedges)
to several common areas in the subdivision. They are also putting benches near the lake
across from the basketball court and the lake near the back playground.
The hedges are to screen the benches from view as you drive down the parkway. Other
trees will be placed in a few different areas to add coverage or replace dead trees.
The lighting will also be upgraded at the subdivision entrance on Maguire Road and at
various village entrances within the subdivision.
