Meeting held January 7,2020. (City Clerk Sibbitt)

2. Approval to Extend the Existing Contract for Traffic Signal Maintenance. (Public
Works Director Krug)
The City entered into a contract with Control Specialists Company (CSC) in 2009 to provide traffic signal
maintenance by piggybacking off of an existing City of Maitland contract. Public Works has continued to
utilize Maitland's contract; however, there is merit for Ocoee to issue an independent traffic signal
maintenance contract in order to have better control over the terms and duration. Public Works and Finance
are in the process of issuing a Request For Proposal (RFP)for the signal maintenance; however, the current
term of the Maitland contract has expired. Public Works is requesting Commission approval to extend the
existing contract with CSC until such time as the new RFP is awarded in order to provide continuity of
maintenance for the thirty (30) traffic signals for which the City is responsible. Public Works recommends
approval of the extension as CSC continues to provide a proactive maintenance program with quick response
for emergency situations.

households on the routes per the terms and conditions of the Exclusive Franchise Agreement between City of
Ocoee, Florida and Waste Connections of Florida, Inc., for the Collection of Residential and Commercial

4. Approval to Award ITB#20-003 Landscaping Improvements in the Medians on State
Road 50 (West Colonial Drive) between State Road 429 and Good Homes Road.

The City of Ocoee was awarded a $775,000 grant by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in
2018 to install landscaping and irrigation in the medians on SR 50.On September 17,2019,the CRA and City
approved$615,000 to match the$775,000 grant from FDOT,resulting in an overall available capital budget
of$1,390,000. The cost of the CEI(GAI)services is$83,805.40, leaving an available construction budget of
$1,306,194.60. The City entered into a Joint Participation Agreement(JPA) in September 2018 with FDOT,
which specifies specific processes in which the project was to be designed, reviewed by FDOT, bid,
constructed and administered, including the requirement for the City to enlist the services of a construction
engineering inspection (CEI) firm. In 2019, CPH, one of the City's continuing landscape architectural
consulting firms, prepared the construction documents, including the submission of a variance to allow the
design desired by the City and Community Redevelopment Agency(CRA). In early November 2019,FDOT
finalized their review and approved the City to move forward with bidding the project. The bid was publicly
advertised on November 10, 2019, and opened on December 17, 2019. There were a total of four (4) bids
received ranging from$1,283,096.98 to$1,827,069.50. The Development Services Department and Finance
Department reviewed all bids received and all were considered responsive. Staff recommends awarding the
bid to SSS Down To Earth OPCO, LLC as the most responsive and responsible bidder,per recommendation
from Ginger Corless, Deputy Development Services Director/CRA Administrator, which includes FDOT's
review.

5. Approval of Change Order No. 1 for Phase I of the South Bluford Sewer Service Area.
(Utilities Director Smith)
The City is currently working with Mac4 Ventures, LLC, (Top Gun Cheer Development),to provide central
sewer to the South Bluford Sewer Service Area(SBSSA). On August 6, 2019, City Commission approved
Top Gun's proposal to construct sanitary sewer and reclaimed water utilities(Utility Improvements)in Phase
1 of the SBSSA. To complete Phase 1,the City agreed to reimburse Top Gun for the Utility Improvements in
the amount of$452,927.04 which is based on the total off-site construction costs minus the costs Top Gun
would have incurred in the amount of$52,445.80 to have connected directly to the 16-inch force main on
Columbus Street. Top Gun and the City entered into a partnership on September 11, 2019, through a
contractual Letter of Understanding to move forward with the Utility Improvements.It was determined by the
contract that Top Gun would be required to provide Payment and Performance Bonds. The price for such
bonds were not included in the original proposal approved by the City Commission. Staff is recommending
the approval of Change Order No. 1 to increase the Contract price to include the Payment and Performance
Bonds. Staff also recommends that the City Manager be authorized to approve change orders for this project
up to$25,000 of the contingency amount of$35,061.00.

Traffic. (Second Reading and Public Hearing scheduled for February 4, 2020, Regular Commission
Meeting at 6:15 pm or soon thereafter.) (Police Chief Brown)
a) First Reading of Ordinance Amending Article I, Sections 168-2, 168-4.1 & 168-
5.1.
The Ocoee Police Department proposes two ordinance changes to the City's Code of Ordinances to address
outstanding parking violations as well as making clarifications to policies regulating parking of commercial
vehicles on public property. The City of Ocoee does not currently have a system in place for violators who
have outstanding parking violations. Additionally, the City has experienced a steady increase in parking of
commercial vehicles on public property,including numerous complaints from citizens.Article I,Sections 168-
2, 168-4.1, and 168-5.1 of Chapter 168 of the City of Ocoee Code relating to Vehicles and Traffic would be
amended to address the following: Section 168.2(Collection of Outstanding Parking Violations)Amendment
would allow the Department to notify the State of Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle
(DHSMV)of persons who have three or more outstanding parking violations.The tax collector may not issue
a license plate or revalidations sticker to any applicant whose name is given to DHSMV by the Department
until that person pays for the unpaid parking violations. Section 168-4.1 (Parking of Commercial Vehicles on
Public Property) Would be modified to prevent any commercial vehicles from parking on any public streets
and road rights-of-way, with the exception of loading purposes or otherwise permitted by the Land fi
Development Code. In addition, the definition of a commercial vehicle has been modified. Section 168-5.1
(Immobilization of Vehicles Bearing Outstanding Parking Citations) Allows any police officer to cause the
immobilization of motor vehicles based on criteria met in Section 168-5.1.

b) First Reading of Ordinance Amending Article III by Creating Section 168-14,
Collection of Unpaid Red Light Violation Notices or Uniform Traffic Citations.
The City of Ocoee does not currently have a system in place for violators who have unpaid red light notice of
violations.This amendment would allow the clerk to notify the State of Florida Department of Highway Safety
and Motor Vehicle Division (DHSMV) of persons who have unpaid notice of violations. The tax collector
may not issue a license plate or revalidations sticker to any applicant whose name is given to DHSMV by the
Department until that person pays in full for the unpaid red light notice of violations. Currently there is
approximately $71,587 in unpaid notice of violations; however, only unpaid notice of violations that occur
after the passing of this ordinance will be attempted to be collected.
City Attorney Cookson read the titles of the Ordinances.
Mayor Johnson announced this will be presented as a second reading and public hearing at the

Land Development Code(LDC)for Residential Fencing. (Second Reading and Public Hearing
scheduled for February 4, 2020, Regular Commission Meeting at 6:15 pm or soon thereafter.)
(Zoning Manager Gajadhar)
Currently, information on the City's requirements for residential fencing is listed in both the Ocoee Land
Development Code Article V, Section 5-4 Open Space Requirements of Zoning Districts, as well as Article
V,Section 5-4.1 Fences.This has created some confusion with residents regarding what fencing requirements
need to be met in residential areas.To present this information in a more organized fashion, Staff is proposing
that all references to fencing be moved from Article V, Section 5-4 to Article V, Section 5-4.1, which
specifically addresses fences. A requirement for all fences four(4)feet in height and under be no more than
50%opaque was added as well as all fences within residential areas must have up to a two (2) inch variable
setback from adjacent property lines to avoid encroachment on neighboring properties.
