4. Approval of Victims of Crime Act Grant; Grant No.: VOCA-2021-Ocoee Police
Department-00521. (Police Chief Plasencia)
For the Fiscal Year 2021/2022, the Florida Attorney General's Office, as the pass-through agency for the
Victims of Crime Act("VOCA"), awarded the Police Department a grant to fund a victim witness advocate
position. Using funding from the VOCA Grant, the Police Department would establish a Victim Witness
Advocate position("Advocate"). Currently,the Department's sworn personnel assist victims with their needs
while balancing their other duties of call-handling and/or investigations.An Advocate dedicated to the process
of ensuring victims understand their legal rights and protections would enhance our processes and potentially
reduce re-victimization. Recognizing the special needs and concerns of individuals impacted by crime,
accident,or suicide,the Advocate would be able to render assistance for those individuals.The Advocate would
assist victims and witnesses with coping with the trauma of the event and assist them in understanding the
complexities of the investigative and judicial processes. This grant-funded position was anticipated and
included in the FY 2021/2022 budget.

8. Second Reading of Ordinance Regulating the Retail Sale of Dogs, Cats and Rabbits by
Pet Stores. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, October 7, 2021) (City Attorney
Cookson)
On June 24,2021,the Board of County Commissioners of Orange County enacted an ordinance prohibiting the
retail sale of dogs, cats and rabbits in Orange County. The Orange County Charter specifically provides no
county ordinance shall be effective within a municipality if the municipality maintains an ordinance covering
the same subject matter or activity as the County Ordinance.City Staff has determined that the existing"Chews
A Puppy"pet store within the City of Ocoee is engaged in the retail sale of dogs,cats and rabbits and, absent
this proposed Ordinance, would be prohibited from engaging in the retail sale of dogs, cats and rabbits. The
proposed ordinance would create a limited exemption for the existing Chews A Puppy pet store to continue
operating within the City provided, however, it operates under the same brand, business model, size, and in
compliance with all other applicable existing City regulations. All other pet stores within the City will be
prohibited from engaging in the retail sale of dogs, cats and rabbits as of the effective date of the ordinance.
Additionally,the proposed ordinance would require the existing Chews A Puppy pet store to display a notice
to consumers and public containing contact information for the City of Ocoee for the reporting of any
complaints with respect to the pet store as well as the posting of information in close proximity to cages and
enclosures containing information on each pet's health and vaccination records and the source from which the
pet was obtained. The proposed ordinance would further require the pet store to make information readily
available for all protentional customers including its USDA license number, breeding facility contact
information, and the date the pet was born and received. The pet store would also be required to provide a
warranty to customers,under certain conditions,for any pet purchased from the pet store.
