The Drainage Easement was needed to cover a drainage pipe that runs from the City of Ocoee pond on Maguire Road east to the drainage pond at Lake Lilly.

The pipe connects the stormwater from the City of Ocoee’s Drainage Pond on Maguire Road to tract A of the Lake Lilly Development. 10.

The Plat also includes easements for emergency vehicle access, reclaim water lines, drainage, stormwater retention pond, and other public utility easements. 12. Approval of Extension of the City of Ocoee’s Banking Services with Truist (Formerly SunTrust). (Finance Director Roberts) The City of Ocoee’s contract with Truist expired August 31, 2022. The previous contract was a piggy-backing relationship based upon The City of Ocala’s contract. In August 2022, the Finance Department negotiated with Truist to continue to piggy-back on Ocala’s contract. In favor of a four-year extension, Truist will offer 50 basis points on the City’s compensating balance and 60% of the top end of the Fed Fund Target range on all balances above the compensating balance. This represents a unique pricing (interest rate) arrangement which ensures the City benefits from the variable nature of federal interest rates. 13. Approval to Install New Synthetic Turf for Withers-Maguire House Project. (Parks and Recreation Director Johnson) The Parks and Recreation Department budgeted $100,000.00 in Fiscal Year 21/22 to replace the natural turf at the Withers- Maguire House lawn with synthetic turf for special events and weddings. City staff would like to have the new synthetic turf installed prior to this year’s Holiday Event on December 10, 2022. The use of the specified contractors to complete this urgent work will need the required purchasing code waived. This synthetic turf is ideal for medium to high traffic applications. The turf ensures maximum durability and the panel system creates a stable long-lasting base that drains well and holds up to the heaviest of foot and mechanical traffic. City staff has researched contractors that they have confidence in to complete the job quickly and efficiently. ProGreen, a City of Ocoee business, was previously awarded the installation of synthetic turf on the Vandergrift Central Park Baseball Fields and can complete the project by the date required. 14. Approval to Piggyback Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Contract for Phase 1 of the Vandergrift Central Park Skatepark Project. (Parks and Recreation Director Johnson) The Parks and Recreation Department has $250,000 budgeted in Fiscal Year 21/22 for Phase 1 of the Vandergrift Central Park Skatepark. Phase 2 will be brought back to City Commission at a later date. City Staff has extensively researched to find a company that they have confidence in to get the job completed, and also one that has experience with other local municipalities in Central Florida. American Ramp Company is a nationally recognized company that has developed skateparks throughout Central Florida, including Orlando, Orange County and Longwood. American Ramp Company is part of Sourcewell, a cooperative purchasing program, of which the City of Ocoee is a member. The Parks and Recreation Department is confident American Ramp Company will design, develop and build a Skatepark for the City to be proud of. 15.

All of the development is internal to one access point and does not contain any “outparcels”. Niki Shah is opening a Cosmetic Boutique called Rouge and is applying for an Alcohol License to serve beer and wine. Due to the location of the building within the PUD and in proximity to the Pre-School, a waiver to the alcohol distancing requirements is required for approval. 19.
