The 2021 Vote Processing Equipment and Elections Services Contract for Municipal Elections is attached for
your consideration. City staff is requesting approval to allow the Supervisor of Elections to open and run all
vote-by-mail ballots through the tabulator on Election Day(March 9th after 9:00 a.m.)that are not questionable.
This will save the Canvassing Board a lot of time as that portion will be completed upon their arrival. The
Canvassing Board will then only need to accept or reject any vote-by-mail ballots that have issues with them
(no signature,signatures do not match,etc.)using the same criteria.

3. Approval of Contract with Central Florida Strategies for Economic Development and
Legislative Affairs Consulting Services. (Assistant City Manager Shadrix)
In 2017 the City Commission decided to hire Central Florida Strategies(Angel de la Portilla)to fulfill the role
of Economic Development and Legislative affairs liaison on a contract basis. Staff has worked closely with
Mr.de la Portilla during this time and has experienced great success in several project areas,such as the City's
Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), the West Oaks Mall, and multiple other projects, most recently
including his efforts to resolve issues with Lennar homes with Arden Park and Clarke Road improvements.
City staff recommends that the City Commission waive the purchasing code requirements and authorize the
City Manager to execute the scope of services with Central Florida Strategies for a three-year contract at
$60,000/year with two(2)additional renewal years.
4. Approval of Code Enforcement Agreements with Town of Windermere with 3%
Adjustment to Cover the City of Ocoee's Costs. (Support Services Director Butler)
The City of Ocoee is willing to continue to provide part-time code enforcement services to the Town of
Windermere with a 3%increase to cover the City of Ocoee's increased costs.The City of Ocoee will continue
to make available to the Town of Windermere one (1) of the City of Ocoee's Code Enforcement Officers to
provide code enforcement services within the Town of Windermere for approximately eight(8)hours a week.
It is anticipated that the Code Enforcement Officer will perform the services over two(2)4-hour segments on
non-consecutive days; however, the schedule may change depending upon circumstances. If the Town of
Windermere would like to use more than the weekly eight(8)hours per week,the Town will pay an overtime
rate of$52.68/hour.This is dependent upon the workload of the Code Enforcement Officer.
5. Approval of Agreement for Code Enforcement Board Attorney. (Support Services
Director Butler)
Under Section 7-5 of the City Code,the City Commission appoints a Board Attorney to act as legal counsel for
the Code Enforcement Board("CEB Attorney").The previously appointed CEB Attorney is no longer available
to serve the Code Enforcement Board and suggests the use of another attorney within the same firm to continue
representing the Board. As attorneys from the previous CEB attorney's law firm have served as the Code
Enforcement Board Attorney for the City for several years,the City Attorney recommends that B.Scott George,
Esq., serve as CEB Attorney to allow for an efficient transition of those duties. The City Attorney has
determined that Mr. George has the requisite experience, availability and desire to perform such services.
