City of Ocoee
City Commission Meeting Tuesday, August 18, 2020
Public Comments (to be read at the meeting please)
To: Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and Commissioners
From: Jim Moyer, Ed.D., M.B.A., C.P.A. and new Ocoee resident from D.C., South FL, and PA
My goal: For the City of Ocoee, the City officials, management, and employees; and Arden Park and its
residents to be the best they can be by achieving far more than maintaining the status quo or a little better.
Please read and enter in the record, the following four points:
1.FIRST IMPRESSION years ago in Pennsylvania, when I ran for elected office for the first time and
knew others who ran for elected office for the first time, we were often reminded that there was only one
chance to make a good first impression. Most of the people I know in Arden Park North are new to Florida
or, at least, Central Florida and Ocoee. Mr. Eric Romano is an exception! Just on my block, people have
recently arrived from several areas of the northeast, the south, and other parts of the world. Is the Ocoee
City Commission comfortable with Lennar making the first impression to new Arden Park residents?

2.TIME I spent 2 years studying to be a Minister and worked for The Salvation Army, a church, for 23
years. I have heard many sermons, however the best one by far, boiled down to proving that what is taught
in business classes (e.g., such as my Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Masters in Business
) is incorrect. TIME does not equal money! Time is far more important than
money. Money can be gained, lost, and gained again but, when TIME is lost, it is gone forever!!!!!
3.PUBLIC HEALTH/SAFETY as you all know, Covid-19 has brought us into unprecedented times.Many
changes, both temporary and permanent, have been made by governmental and private sector organizations
for public health and safety reasons because of Covid-19. Some changes, or suggested changes, are common
sense like increased cleaning. Challenging times like this are devastating and deadly, however they also
bring about opportunities for permanent improvements to public health and safety. These opportunities
will likely only happen once in our lifetime. Will the Ocoee City Commission take advantage of this
once in a lifetime opportunity to make permanent public health and safety improvements in the lives
of its citizens? Or will the ruthless and self-serving Lennar, Pro Builders 2020 number one ranked
homebuilder, continue to get away with bullying, deceiving, and intimidating Arden Park residents?
With some research anyone can see that the public health and safety risks to the City and Arden Park
residents, and future residents, has exponentially increased when Lennar bought CalAtlantic. This is shown
in the research I put together in the Lennar Summary above. Please review it. I would like to suggest that
the Ocoee City Commission directs their staff to thoroughly research, or hire someone to thoroughly
research, and report to the Commission the significantly increased exposure that the City has since
Lennar arrived in Ocoee including, but not limited to, the legal, health, and safety risks that resulted
in many lawsuits and complaints including a wrongful death lawsuit against Lennar in Lake County!
4.LEADERSHIP leadership can be defined as achieving or bad),there is
no leadershipsimilar despite the belief by some people that they
are synonyms. My education includes a Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership and one year of
Business leadership classes which is why I know that RESULTS are of paramount importance if we
want the City of Ocoee and Arden Park to be the best they can be. Respectfully submitted, Jim
