ABSENT: None
Mayor Ison announced that the results of the run-off election being
held today for Commission Seat #4 will be announced as soon as the
elections clerk delivers the count to him.
SPECIAL STAFP REPORTS
Acting City Manager Finch asked that the following two items which
are bids for the Senior League Field be declared emergency items
in order for commission to act on them as they were inadvertantly
omitted from the agenda.
Non-Agendaed Items: Bids for sodding Senior Leaque Field
Acting city Manager Finch reported that the only bid received for
sodding the Senior League Field was from Green State Grassing in
the amount of $10,125 (which is in line with the estimate).
commissioner Hager moved to award the bid to Green State Grassing.
Commissioner Bateman seconded and motion carried with unanimous
vote.
Bids for Fencing Senior Leaque Field
City Recreation Director Beech advised that he had just learned
that the specs were not clearly defined in all the bid packets.
Assistant City Attorney Woodson stated that the items should be put
out for rebid, and staff was so instructed.
occupational License Fees
Acting City Manager Finch had provided a worksheet showing the
occupational license old rates vs new rates and the number of
businesses licensed under each category. He advised that, as the
budget has been developed using those fees, it would be necessary
to reduce expenditures also should any change be made, and he
strongly recommended that no change be made. Commissioner Johnson
still wanted some of the rates reduced. At this point the elections
clerk presented the results of the run-off election_ See next
paragraph. Commissioner Johnson stated, in response to the citizen
who criticized Commission at the last meeting for doing their
homework after the ordinance was passed, that he received his
packet on Saturday and went on Monday, his day off, to 3
neighboring cities and brought their occupational license schedules
back for the city manager to use as reference in preparing a chart
to be used by Commission in making a decision on Tuesday night.

He stated further that the information provided at this meeting was
the first time the requested chart had appeared for their use.
Mayor Ison stated that, beginning in January, a new format would
be initiated whereby Commission will hear citizen matters at the
first meeting in the month and developer matters at the second
meeting in the month. He said it would be appropriate to defer
this matter until the first meeting in January so that staff could
go after any deficiencies and the needed research could be done.
Mayor Ison pointed out that he had already noted that telephone
companies, water/sewer treatment companies, electric power
companies, cablevision, real estate brokers, and theaters are not
being charged occupational licenses and they should be.
Commissioner Bateman said that he was accustomed to seeing
businesses charged rates according to quality/quantity of work
and what has been done with our fees is just to multiply a possibly
already unfair rate. staff was instructed to revamp the list with
input from Commission for the first meeting in January.

1. Traffic Circulation Element - Commissioner Bateman stated that
he had a problem with the extension of figures beyond the year 2000
as he feels that they are estimated too high. Mayor Ison said that
they should go ahead and submit with a disclaimer that the plans
have not been fully reviewed and reserve the right to make
corrections in 30-60 days after the planning staff has been on
board longer. Planning Director Behrens pointed out that in the
traffic circulation element the figures are higher because a larger
portion of land is being considered than just Ocoee city limits.
Commissioner Dabbs asked at what point did P. E. C. go to the
computer. Mr. Behrens deferred to Mr. Tom Kelley, P.E.C., who
explained that Bob Campbell was in charge and that he had used
figures former Planning Director Russ Wagner had provided before
he left the City, along with the projections from the University
of Florida and the East Central Florida Regional Council. Mayor
Ison said that soon our own staff will be in a position to do the
projections using the actual development figures rather than
leaning on a university survey. In order to finish the product on
traffic that Mr. Campbell is scheduled to produce Mayor Ison asked
Mr. Finch to set up a workshop with Mr. Campbell and the
Commissioners. Commissioner Bateman stated that we need to consider
not having an impact fee in order to attract more companies like
Sysco and Wal-Mart, which generate jobs for citizens.
Mayor Ison pointed out that on Page 41 of the study, "Recommended
stage Development," which indicates that of the $16.9M projected
cost of development $3.9M will be borne by the City and $13.0M by
developers, it will be his goal to see to it that developers will
pay 100% of their share. He then asked Assistant City Attorney
Woodson to include a statement in the developer agreements (and if
it is not included in the agreements let the record show) that the
City reserves the right to negotiate transportation impact fees and
off site improvements regardless of any other statements that may
be in any other existing developmental agreement. Assistant City
Attorney Woodson stated that there are currently 2 types of
agreements, the agreements which were drawn up last year are
specific and the standard agreements which he drew up this year
refer to Interim Transportation Ordinance No. 88-21 which includes
that provision.
The entire planning staff was commended for doing a good job and
especial appreciation was expressed to City Recreation Director
Jim Beech for the excellent recreation program he has conducted
since he has been in charge of the department.

ORDINANCE NO. 88-57 (CASE NO. 11C-88)-COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
Acting City Manager Finch read the title only of the ordinance and
stated that the 237.8 acre parcel is located north of SR50, south
of White Road, and northwesterly of Lake Lotta. The public hearing
was opened and Mr. Ral veny , 178 S. Mai tland Avenue, Al tamonte
Springs, representing Orange County planning, stated that the
County objects to this development for 2 reasons: 1) The subject
property is not substantially contiguous as it is a finger-like
extension. 2) The project proposes commercial usages which are not
located at a major intersection and that proposal is inconsistent
with the County's growth management policy which designates the
site for mUlti-family. 3) The County would be willing to work with
both the developer and the City of Ocoee to resolve these issues
and the County recommends denial of the plan as presented. Mayor
Ison stated for the record that this is no more a finger like
extension than Metro West or the other areas where the city of
Orlando and other municipalities have expanded their areas. As to
