Approval for Purchase of Police Boat with Police Impact Fees. (Police Chief Reffett) As Ocoee's population has increased, larger numbers of the public are using the Starke Lake chain of lakes for water activities. In order to help provide a safe, recreational experience for the people who utilize these lakes, the Police Department seeks to purchase a boat with police impact fees.

As part of the Villas at Woodsmere development project, the City of Ocoee acquired title to a tract of land within the project during the platting process known as "Tract 5". This property may now be conveyed to Orange County for inclusion in the roadway construction project. The Florida Department of Transportation will pay the City $50,000 for this property. 11. Approval of CDBG Project Agreement for Pioneer Key II Mobile Home Park Reconstruction. (City Engineer Wheeler) The City of Ocoee applied for and was awarded a total of $1.5 million to undertake a public infrastructure reconstruction project in the Pioneer Key II Mobile Home Park under the Orange County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, a federally funded initiative. Proposed improvements include upgrades to roads, stormwater management, potable water service, and sanitary sewer utilities. Orange County has asked the City to be responsible for bidding the work, on-site Page 2 of3 City Commission Agenda September 4, 2007 inspection of construction and providing approved progress payments from the selected contractor to the County, as work is accomplished. The offered Project Agreement between Orange County and the City of Ocoee is a standard form used throughout the county for similar projects. It imposes on the City the same conditions imposed on Orange County by the federal CDBG program-conditions that are effectively already imposed on the City through terms of the grant award. This approach allows the City to provide better control ofthe project within the limits of the CDBG program. I F. PUBLIC HEARINGS I 12. Ocoee Professional Plaza - Waiver Discussion.
