fmancing.
3. Approval of Pioneer Key Regional Stormwater Pond Post Design Services and
Performance Efficiency Evaluation with PEC / Professional Engineering
Consultants, Inc. (public Works Director Krug)
In the last fiscal year, the City completed the construction of the Pioneer Key Regional Storm water
project as a regional wet detention pond to provide retrofit water quality treatment and flood
attenuation. This facility will provide treatment for the Pioneer Key mobile home communities as well
as other developed and undeveloped areas along the Northwest Ditch 123-acre drainage basin in the
City prior to discharge into Lake Apopka. The Department of Environmental Protection grant that
funded the project construction also includes a monitoring phase to determine the effectiveness of the
facility in reducing pollutant loadings that ultimately discharge into Lake Apopka. The scope of this
phase requires the installation of hydrologic and water quality monitoring equipment that will collect
data along with water sampling over a 6-month period. At the end of the monitoring period, a
complete hydrologic and pollutant budget will be developed for the facility, and the overall
performance efficiency of the system will be calculated for the evaluated parameters.
4. Approval of Health Center Roof Replacement to Britt Construction, Inc., not to
Exceed Amount of $8,090.00. (Public Works Director Krug)

until such time as the Center created enough of a savings to fund the new roof. The Health Center has
been successful in reducing the City's insurance costs, and the condition of the roof necessitates its
replacement prior to another Florida rain season. The City solicited pricing from several vendors and
recommend the work be awarded to the low responsive bidder, Britt Construction, Inc., not to exceed
the amount of $8,090.00.
5. Approval of Health Center Physical Therapy Expansion. (Public Works
Director Krug)
Last fiscal year, the City remodeled an existing structure located on East Oakland A venue into a
Health Center. The Health Center has been successful in reducing the City's insurance costs, and the
addition of a room for physical therapy will allow even greater savings. Team Members from the
City's Building, Utilities, Human Resources and Public Works Departments have been coordinating
their efforts to develop a plan that will allow City forces to enclose the carport area to accommodate
physical therapy treatment. This project will require Commission authorization for the cost of
materials at $15,000.00.
6. Approval of Second Addendum to Consulting Agreement with SMW
GeoSciences, Inc. (Utilities Director Smith)
The Utilities Department utilizes the consulting services of SMW GeoSciences, Inc., for assorted
projects throughout the year, such as receiving assistance for renewing the Consumptive Use Permit,
researching Alternative Water Supplies and developing the Water Conservation Program. The original
agreement was executed on January 17, 2006, and was authorized for two years, with a one-year
extension executed on February 18, 2008. Staff recommends extending the terms of the Agreement
through January 17,2010.

7. Approval of Ordinance for Change to the City of Ocoee Municipal Police
Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement Trust Fund. (Postponed to the February 17,
2009, City Commission Meeting) (Human Resources Director Carnicella)
This approval will be to amend the Police Officers' and Firefighters' Pension Ordinance to change the
multiplier from 3.0% to 3.5% and to discontinue the $200 per month supplemental benefit (stipend)
effective October 1,2008. This issue was approved by the Police Officers' and Firefighters' Pension
Board and agreed to by the Police & Fire unions. The impact to the City will be $100,492. However,
the Actuarial Impact Statements indicate the City's contribution to this fund will be reduced from
18.3% to 11.3% of payroll, or approximately a $380,000 savings. This reduction will happen as a
result of the re-evaluation of the assumptions to this Pension Fund.
