At the Regular City Commission Meeting held on January 15, 2019, the City Commission approved
Resolution No. 2019-002 establishing the Ocoee Youth Council (OYC) as an advisory board of the City
Commission. The resolution adopted was to create and establish the composition of the OYC. The City
Commission initially created the OYC as a formal City body subject to the provisions of the Sunshine Law
and other formal requirements of law.Experience has shown that these formal requirements are not the most
conducive method for this type of group to function, and not the recommended methodology of the Florida
League of Cities.The proposed resolution authorizes City staff to dissolve the OYC as an advisory board and
to assist the OYC to function as a program in order to function in a far less complex and formal process and
method of operation.City staff has met with the Commission Liaison for the Youth Council who has requested
that the current objectives, board application processes, and budgetary funding for the OYC remain in place
for this newly developed program.

building occupancy hazard factors and the area under roof to determine the number of Fire Protection Units
(FPUs)for each property.The number of FPUs is then multiplied by the Applied Assessment Rate to get the
amount of the special assessment. Section 197.3632,Florida Statutes,requires the City to certify the Tax Roll

The City and Ocoee Rentals Trust have been working to get several properties around the Hillcrest Heights
Area annexed into the City. Due to three of the properties located on 3rd Street not having access to City
water, the Utilities Depaitment prepared a set of construction plans to extend water lines to this area. This
project will include extending the existing 6-inch water main on 2nd Street to the intersection of E. Silver Star
Rd and 3rd Street and construction of approx. 400 linear feet of 4-inch water main on 3rd Street. During
planning,it came to the City's attention that 3rd Street is not a road but an ingress/egress access way through
multiple properties. Ocoee Rentals Trust coordinated with property owners to acquire needed easements to
allow for the construction of the 4-inch watermain on 3rd Street. This will give other properties on 3rd Street
eligibility to annex into the City and gain access to City water.

development,the Utilities Depai talent has had several unforeseen time-sensitive projects arise and C.S.C.has
assisted staff in the timely completion of these projects. One of these projects was the 3rd Street Water Main
Extension, which was added to the mid-year budget adjustment. With the continued rise of property owners
requesting City water,C.S.C.is willing and able to be on-site to directional drill service lines to provide water
for these properties in a timely manner.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
13. Approval of Capital Budget Reallocation. (Utilities Director Croteau)
Through review of this year's capital budget and with the assistance of Finance,Utilities has found$28,000

to maintain and proactively address needs within the depaitment.In addition to those needs was a request for
an additional vehicle due to adding,or the reclassification of,staff without always adding a vehicle.Therefore,
Utilities is requesting the approval of reallocating the available funds to purchase a new vehicle in the amount
of$28,000. The addition of a new vehicle into inventory was previously requested in this year's budget,but
removed during the budget process.
