(Utilities Director Smith) On July 17, 2007, a contract was executed between the City of Ocoee and Shelley's Environmental System to remove and process the Wastewater Treatment Plant's class "C" residuals to a class "B" stabilized product and to relieve the City of any and all liability under Chapter 403, F.S., Chapter 62- 640 F.A.C, Title 40 C.F.R., Parts 257 and 503 regulations pertaining to the removal and stabilizing of residual solids. The cost to remove and stabilize the residuals rose from $28.87 to $38.65 per wet ton and was effective beginning February 2007. Currently, it costs the City approximately $7800.00 per month for this service. The large increase of approximately $10.00 per ton was not anticipated nor was it budgeted for in the 2006/2007. As a result, the Wastewater Contractual Services account has been nearly depleted as of August 1,2007. I F. PUBLIC HEARINGS - None I G. REGULAR AGENDA 7. Approval of West End Professional Park - Amendment to Final Subdivision Plan. (Principal Planner Fabre) This Amended Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan modifies that previously approved plan. This subdivision plan proposes to reduce the number oflots from 14 to 13. The original Lot 14 was sold for water abatement and additional right-of-way to the Florida Turnpike Authority. As shown in the Amended PreliminarylFinal Subdivision Plan, the West End Professional Park will have four access points, all from Old Winter Garden Road. Lot I will be limited to a right-inlright-out only access point. As shown on the plans, there is an existing short roadway (Brushy Creek Ct. proposed to be renamed to Bluford Ct.) that ends at a cul-de-sac. This roadway will provide access for lots 2 thru 5. Lot 6 will have a full access point on Old Winter Garden Road. This access point previously ended on a cul-de- sac. This plan proposes to omit the cul-de-sac and the lots reconfigured into one lot (Lot 6). There is also a proposed roadway (approximately 1,400 feet) which will end in a cul-de-sac. This roadway will provide access for lots 7 thru 13. A 1O-foot wide Landscape Buffer was added to meet current City Code standards along all sides and rear property lines as well as along the retention pond and adjoining Turnpike. All common area landscape buffers will be provided by the Developer and maintained by a POA. 8. Approval of Parks and Recreation Department Proposed Fees for Parks, Recreation Facilities, and Recreation Programs. (Parks and Recreation Director Hayes) The City of Ocoee provides a comprehensive system of parks and recreation facilities for the community to enjoy. In addition to this the City also provides a variety of recreational activities and opportunities in connection with the park and recreation system through offering passive recreational opportunities, supervised recreational activities, organized youth and adult sports, and special events. The Parks and Recreation Department coordinates and conducts many of these activities and programs, and also works to coordinate many other programs with local youth sport associations. In order to Page 2 of3 City Commission Regular August 21, 2007 provide these programs, services and opportunities the Parks and Recreation Department has established a fee structure for the participation in recreational programs and the use of parks and recreational facilities. In prior years many of the fees for participating in programs and the use of facilities have not been formally adopted; rather the fees were established by the Parks and Recreation Department and then implemented. The Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to establish formal procedures for developing and implementing fees for recreation programs and use of parks and facilities. The Parks and Recreation Department is submitting for approval a fee schedule for participation in recreational programs conducted by the department and for the use of parks and recreational facilities.
