Commissioner Anderson
1. Stated he had a lot of viruses on his computer when he returned home. He asked IS Manger
Ross to tell everyone what to do to combat the virus and where it came from. Mr.Ross
explained where the virus came from and how it affects your computer. He said the virus was
not coming from within the City, but from a computer outside the City's control. He said it is
someone who has close contact with the City, perhaps someone who has been on a board. Mr.
Ross said about the only way to stop the virus is to create a new e-mail address or get a good
anti-virus program. He mentioned an organization called AVERT (Anti Virus Emergency
Response Team) and said they had written a free program that would clean up the virus. He said
most anti-virus providers have a link to it.

Wal-Mart Supercenter. (Director of Planning Wagner)
Amendment to the Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan. (With respect to Master Signage
Plan and Setback Provisions.)
Director of Planning Wagner gave the staff report, reviewing the restrictions, which include
specific provisions related to front setbacks (100 foot maximum on out-parcels) and signage (100
sq. ft. maximum on out-parcels). He said these were part of a comprehensive, negotiated
package wherein Wal-Mart was granted various waivers within their project. Mr. Wagner
stated the City Commission previously granted a waiver from the 100-foot maximum front
setback requirement for Lot 3 of the Wal-Mart Supercenter; however, no one at that time realized
that this limitation was called out in the subject development documents. It was only when
research was done on the request for a sign waiver on the adjoining lot (Lay-Z-Boy) that it was
discovered that development restrictions were in place that would have to be legally modified.
Attorney Scott Glass, of Shutes and Bowen, and Developer Matt Falconer spoke briefly about
the Master Signage Plan being too restrictive when it has to be divided between multiple tenants.

MINUTES OF THE OCOEE CITY COMMISSION WORK SESSION
HELD JUNE 13, 2002
CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Vandergrift called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. in the Commission Chambers.
PRESENT: Mayor Vandergrift, Commissioners Anderson, Johnson, and Parker. Also present
were City Manager Gleason (arrived 6:46 p.m.), Community Relations/Projects Director Shira,
City Engineer/Utilities Director Shira, Assistant City Engineer Wheeler, Recreation Director
Fanner, and Administrative Assistant II Maxwell
ABSENT: Commissioner Howell
City Engineer/Utilities Director Shin began the Work Session with a Power Point presentation
regarding the operations of the Utilities Department. Mr. Shin gave a detailed overview of the
day-to-day operations and the duties assigned to each employee.
Commissioner Parker left the work session at 6:99 p.m.
WATER
City Engineer/Utilities Director Shin began the second portion of the work session by
presenting maps exhibiting Ocoee's water system, wastewater system, and reuse master plan. Mr.
Shira gave a detailed overview of the status of the water, wastewater, and reclaimed water
system and what the future needs of Ocoee are.
Mr. Shira stated the following water system improvements are needed:
1. Peach Lake Manor, Unit Four: approximately 6,000 feet of new water mains installed for fire
protection and the water meters moved to the front of the property.
2. Peach Lake Manor, Unit Three: approximately 2,000 feet of new water mains installed for fire
protection and the water meters moved to the front of the property.
3. Lake View Subdivision: new water mains installed for fire protection.
Mr. Shira further stated in the northwest area, which is approximately 1,400 acres, the water line
improvements that are needed will cost approximately $975,000.00 and most of this area can be
developer built as development occurs.
Mr. Shin stated the current Consumptive Use Permit does not expire until 2006, but SJWMD
notified the City of Ocoee that the city has been and is still in violation of the allocated annual
withdrawal of water. Projected figures of future usage still put the city's water usage over the
allocated annual withdrawal amount by 153%. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding water rates
and usage. Another issue that needs to be dealt with is the decision to either spend the required
money to repair and upgrade the Jamela water plant's elevated storage tank and below-grade high
service pumps at a cost of approximately $800,000.00 or take the plant out of service and replace
the flow contribution with additional high service pumps at the Forest Oaks and South water
plants_
WASTEWATERMr. Shire stated there are approximately 3,750 customers scattered throughout the city that are
City Commission Work Session
June 13,2002
not connected to the sewer system. The cost of this sewer project will be approximately four
times the cost of new undeveloped areas. Roads, sidewalks, utilities, and landscaping will have to
be tom up and or worked around which adds to the cost of Stalling sewer. Examples were
given of two types of sewer systems and pros and cons for each system. A lengthy discussion
ensued regarding sewer needs.
RECLAIMED WATER
Mr. Shin stated the City of Ocoee is flowing approximately 1.4 million gallons of water a day
through the wastewater plant. In May, Ocoee sent approximately.4 million gallons per day to the
golf course and .6 million gallons per day to the ponds on site, which leaves .5 million gallons per
day in the reclaimed water system on Clarke Road, which totals 2.64 million gallons per day
anticipated demand along Clarke Road from Hwy 50 North. Mr. Shira pointed out that if the
ponds are not kept full they dry out and the vegetation rots and odor complaints start from the
surrounding areas The wastewater treatment plant capacity is 3 million gallons per day, the 2.64
does not include reclaimed water to the golf course and onsite ponds. If reclaimed water is
connected to the rest of the city, Ocoee would need an additional 20 million gallons per day
demand. In order to supply the demand it would take at least five new wells at a cost of
approximately $1.5 million, transmission lines would cost approximately $10 million, and
distribution lines would cost approximately $9 million. These figures are assuming that SJWMD
will issue a C.U.P. for 20 million gallons per day above and beyond what Ocoee is allowed to now
draw for an irrigation system.
Mr. Shira gave a detailed briefing on wet weather effluent storage needs and stated the City of
Ocoee should plan on 30 days of storage and approximately $1.1 million dollars for the land and
associated costs. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the wet weather effluent storage needs
and costs.
City Manager Gleason, Mayor Vandergrift and the Commissioners thanked Mr. Shira and Mr.
Wheeler for the information presented this evening.
