around the city, training in the use of CPR and AEDs, and for supporting SYHs heart screening
events.

vehicles. Commissioner Johnson said that would be a good place to use the forfeiture money
that we get (such as in Item #4 on the agenda). Chief Brown said they currently have AEDs in
seven supervisor vehicles, but there are some additional forfeiture funds that could go to
purchasing the rest of the vehicles. He added that the item on tonight's agenda is for the required
percentage of the forfeitures that must go to drug enforcement and other specific uses.

I D. STAFF REPORTS AND AGENDA REVIEW
City Manager Fiiiiik:
1) thanked everyone for making the Halloween Haunted House event a great success this year.
2) said the in-house mowing crews have officially started; you will be seeing them around the
City, this program will save the City about $150,000
3) said the reroofing of Withers Maguire House will begin on Monday, November 9th, we have
received approval from the historical society on the selection of the shingles
4) lift station 7 received clearance from FDEP and will be in service in the next two weeks. The
system is now operational and we are redirection flows away from the force main on SR 50. This
will hopefully stop the need for emergency expenditures as in the past.
5) we are continuing efforts to move homes onto reclaimed and off potable water for irrigation
purposes; we are currently 70% complete for the Windstone subdivision, with White Hill and
Wedgewood Commons being the next that will go to bid.
6) said the 16th amendment to lP A was approved at county commission earlier tonight; they had
been in negotiations trying to get the boundaries moved to the west toward East Crown Point
Road and we were able to get that done despite the fact that Winter Garden also wanted that area.
7) asked City Attorney Rosenthal to give brief update on red light camera class action suit.
City Attorney Rosenthal he said that we now have an attorney taking over the class action case
through our insurance carrier; they met with him last week and went over everything. They are
coordinating with the service provider who has an attorney, Carlton Fields, who is handling all of
their cases on a statewide basis. He added that there are 2 or 3 lawsuits around the state now
against cities with red light camera ordinances. The plaintiff amended their complaint to drop the
claim for violation of section 1983 F.S. that would have had a potential exposure for attorneys'
fees and damage issues; it was going to Federal Court and they did not want it to go there so they
Page 2 of9
City Commission Regular

removed those items. Our counsel is working on some good defenses; any questions can be
directed to him, John Hamilton at Foley, or the other attorney from the insurance carrier.
Mayor Vandergrift asked if we are moving forward with other intersections.
Chief Brown said we have four new intersections, White Road and Clarke Road, West Road and
Ocoee Apopka Road, Clarke Road and A.D. Mims, Blackwood Avenue and State Road 50. He
added that some intersections will not have cameras in all directions due to camera placement
not being allowed on State Roads.
Commissioner Johnson said they don't catch the real red light runners on Highway 50 on major
intersections that we are not able to catch because we can't put them on State Roads. Mayor
Vandergrift said there are issues with getting the law changed so that we can place cameras on
state roads; the state is grappling with this to try to get part of the money coming out of the
municipalities red light cameras.
Commissioner Keller said lobbyist wants to get with commissioner about what to push in
Tallahassee and red light cameras at intersections involving state roads may be one of the things
to push.
Commissioner Keller, seconded by Mayor Vander~rift moved to direct the
lobbyists to address the issue of red Ii~ht cameras so that the City can place
cameras on state roads within the city limits, such as Silver Star Road. Motion
carried 5-0.

7. Approval of Holiday Bann'ers and Il~corations. (Public Works Director Krug)
The Commission approved $35,000.00 for Holiday decorations in the 2009-2010 budget. Clark Sales Display,
Inc., Tavares, Florida, has traditionally provided the City's Holiday decorations along with storage of the Ocoee
Crown Point Parkway holiday banners for the City. Working with Clark Sales, staff has developed the
following holiday decoration plan in accordance with Commission direction:
Banners:
. Clarke Road from SR 50 to Silver Star Road.
. Maguire Road from the median south of Moore/Roberson Road to Old Winter Garden Road.
. Ocoee Crown Point Parkway from the Ocoee High School to Ocoee Apopka Road.
Lighted Pole Decorations:
. Bluford Avenue from Delaware Street to Silver Star Road.
. McKey Street from Kissimmee Avenue to Bluford Avenue.
Static Display:
. 25' self standing lighted and decorated tree at the City Hall complex (former fire station site).
The City will purchase the banners with installation by Clark. The Public Works Team will remove the
banners following the holidays and store them for future use. The lighted pole decorations and static
display will be leased from Clark. The cost for this work is $27,793.40. Staff recommends the
Commission approve a not to exceed amount of$35,000.00 as budgeted to cover any unforeseen conditions
not anticipated in the installation of the holiday banners and lighting with Clark Sales Display.
Mayor Vanderarift. seconded by Commissioner Johnson. moved to accept staff
recommendations reQuestina that staff attempt to find a live tree in place of the
25 foot artificial tree. if possible. Motion carried 4-1. with Commissioner Wilsen

Tolbert)
In compliance with City Commission direction of October 2, 2007, staff is requesting a Commissioner be
appointed to the Selection Committee to evaluate responses received for RFQ #1001 Construction Engineering
Inspection Services for Clarke Road Rehabilitation. The selection committee meeting is tentatively scheduled
for Tuesday, December 1,2009, at 10:00 a.m.
Commissioner Wilsen asked why we have a Commissioner appointed to the staff RFP and
RFQ. Commissioner Johnson said he feels Commissioners should be there to give their input
and to report back to the Commission.
Commissioner Johnson. seconded by Commissioner Keller. moved to have
Mayor Vanderarift appointed to the RFQ Committee. Motion carried 5-0.

Commissioner Wilsen, seconded by Mayor Vanderqrift, moved to discontinue
havinq a Commissioner on the RFP and RFQ Boards.
Commissioner Keller stated that the down side is that he and Commissioner Hood cannot get
away to make it to the daytime meetings, so it would be the same people every time.
Commissioner Hood agreed.
Commissioner Johnson moved to amend that motion that if a Commissioner
wishes to be on an RFP or RFQ committee that they would have the riqht to
attend.
City Manager Frank said all meetings are public meetings and open to everyone, there does not
need to be a motion to have a Commissioner attend. Commissioner Keller clarified that the
intention of Commissioner Johnson's amendment was that the Commissioner would be a
participating member of the committee.
City Attorney Rosenthal asked City Clerk Eikenberry to read back the motions for clarification.
He then clarified that Commissioner Johnson's amendment to the motion would mean that a
commissioner could request to be placed on a RFQ/RFP Committee as a voting member without
needing commission approval. A question was raised as to what would happen if two
Commissioners wanted to be on an RFQ/RFP Committee. Mayor Vandergrift stated that it
would have to come back to the Commission for approval, and that needed to be added to the
amendment.
There was more discussion for clarification. Commissioner Wilsen asked for clarification
between attending an open committee meeting vs. being a voting member. City Attorney
Rosenthal clarified that it is not a Public Hearing and therefore members of the public in
attendance do not have any input or discussion; they are there only to observe.
Mayor Vanderqrift, seconded by Commissioner Keller, moved to amend the
amendment to the motion, to include that if more than one member wants to be
on the committee it would come back to the commission for selection.
Mayor Vandergrift asked City Manager Frank for his thoughts. He stated that It IS an
administrative duty, it is purely a recommendation from that staff and it still comes before the
Commission for final determination. He feels the staff may not speak their mind if a
Commission is sitting on the committee. He is not sure why we would want to change that to
something other than a staff recommendation which is what it was for. Commissioner Johnson
said that it was not true that staff cannot speak their mind if a Commissioner is present at the
meetings and added Commissioners are being lobbied to give administration total control over
things like this and Personnel Rules and Regulations. He added that the Commission does not
get to see what goes on at these committee meetings when there is not a Commissioner present.
Break 8:41 - 8:48 p.m.

November 3, 2009
Mayor Vandergrift stated that we have a motion on the floor that we do not appoint
Commissioners to RFP/RFQ Committee. There is an amendment to the motion that says that
any member of the commission that wants to be on the committee can go on the committee as a
voting member. There is an amendment to the amendment to say that the Commission has to
have the right to approve it if more than one Commissioner wants to be on the RFP/RFQ
Committee.

I J. COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS
COn1mi~sIonet:i'iio(j~ 1) asked when the Christmas decorations would be installed and removed.
Public Works Director Krug stated they will go up within two weeks after the purchase order
is done and they will be removed and stored by city staff shortly after New Year's Day. 2) asked
about an update with the Central Park security issues. Chief Brown said there has been some
vandalism to the new handrails because skateboarders are using it. Parks and Recreation have
stepped up there watch and calling in events to the Police. He said the shooting that occurred
near the park last week was not related to anyone on from the park or residents. Commissioner
Hood said that we need bathrooms and low lights in the playground area; that should be
considered at the next budget time. There are still issues with kids jumping off the dock. Chief
Brown said they have stepped up control. Parks and Recreation Director Hayes said one of
the next phases of Central Park improvements includes lighting in that area of the playground
and parking lot. Chief Brown said the City has created these great places for people to hang out
and now we need to step up the patrol to make sure they are not attracting the wrong type of
activity at Central Park and Starke Lake. Commissioner Hood said it has improved a lot since
three weeks ago, but we need to stay on top of it. Mayor Vandergrift said we should consider a
volunteer Ranger program that would have people. Commissioner Hood said that would work
because often we do not get a call until the next day even though they observed something as it
was happening. The Mayor suggested volunteers could work under the Park Ranger.
Commissioner Hood says he likes the idea of a ranger patrol, possibly coordinating it under an
officer. 2) Commissioner Hood asked the Commission what they thought about giving some
many to Ocoee High School; he stated we cannot afford to give them as much as in the past, but
perhaps we can give them $5000 to be used at Principal Armbruster's discretion. Commissioner
Wilsen said she does not see how they can do that without doing the same for Wekiva and West
Orange High Schools and some of the middle schools as well. Commissioner Hood said he feels
the high schools have more sporting events and activities than lower schools and giving them
money may prevent them from coming before the Commission and asking for it. Commissioner

Johnson had no comment. Commissioner Keller said he agrees with Commissioner Wilsen in
that the other two high schools would have to get the same donation. Mayor Vandergrift said
that we have the Community Merit Awards committee to review these requests, perhaps next
year we can set up a specific amount of funds just for school requests.
Commissi' Wilsen - no comments
€oillml~si r johll~Qh - 1) said he is getting complaints that there are speeders no one is
stopping between Kissimmee and Lee Street, the little section off Silver Star Road, and it is
endangering children in area. 2) said that Pioneer Key Park is experiencing some vandalism
other activities and there are cars parked out there all night. Commissioner Hood asked if they
could chain that area off at tonight. Commissioner Johnson said they are still going in on foot
and doing things at night and patrol needs to be stepped up. 3) said a resident asked about
vehicles being parked and left while parents go up to Spring Lake Elementary. Commissioner
Hood said the residents are complaining by the traffic impeding their access and others are
complaining about not having access to their children's school. There is a safety issue because
cars are parked on both sides and kids are darting between them. Mayor Vandergrift suggested
that we place a road off of the utility plant access road and feed across to the school without
going th~ough ~~t~~rneighborhood.
GOIIl..lIli~~..!.~..I1.~.!:K~.n~r. I) asked what can be done to close Hackney Prairie Park until the lighting
is installed there. There were some burglaries in Remington oaks and it was found the
perpetrators were using the park to leave their car there while they committed the crime. He
asked if we can change the resolution dealing with park closings to close Hackney Prairie Park
earlier until there is lighting. The Mayor suggested we just make a public policy.
Commissioner Keller, seconded by Mayor Vanderarift, moved to close Hackney
Prairie Park at 7:00 p.m. untilliahtina is installed in the park. Motion carried 5-0.
There was discussion about 7:00 p.m. being too early because it does not get dark until 9:00 p.m.
in the summer. Parks and Recreation Director Hayes stated that lighting should be installed out
there by late March. Mayor Vandergrift stated we should entertain the thought of solar lighting
in that project.
Commissioner Hood asked when the stands were going in at Sorenson. Mr. Hayes said they
were supposed to be in this week; staff contacted the company to ascertain what is causing the
delay but have not heard back. They will call them again. Mayor Vandergrift said there is a
resident complaining that balls are still going into her yard, why is the screen at the backstop not
working. Commissioner Hood said there is no screen, only trees. Mr. Hayes said the screen
came down when the new fence went up because it interfered with the play of the game. They
priced a screen and it was around $40,000 for two poles with netting and they did not have the
funds to cover it.
M~ytjI1:irY~ij'~~fgtift U) thanked Assistant City Manager Croteau for getting the "Scenic Drive"
signs up by the lake. He would like to see "scenic drive" placed on top of each of the Lakeshore
Drive signs. He also noticed that two signs on "Lakeshore Drive" are different; the sign is on the
top of the pole in one location and the bottom of the pole in the other. He would like to see us
place inexpensive signs that would be uniform along Lakeshore Drive 2) thanked everyone who
attended the meeting last night with regard to the swine flu (H 1 N I); he said it was well attended
and there was a lot of discussion on how to keep information flowing to the community to lessen
Page 8 of9
City Commission Regular
November 3, 2009
any impact that we will experience. Mayor Vandergrift said he would entertain a motion to
spend $1000 to launch a campaign to add more hand sanitation stations and put up posters to
remind people to wash their hands. Public Works Director Krug said they purchased 6 hand
sanitizer stations at $840, and the custodial staff has been making an extra effort to sanitize door
handles, light switches, and railings.
Mayor Vandergrift added that new numbers on the pandemic that are coming in are shocking,
especially up north. We need to do everything we can to prevent or lessen an outbreak in our
community. The three things the school board focuses on are Prevention, Education, and
Communication. The flu season is expected to run through January. 3) said the Bulldogs will
play Saturday in Starke Florida, 4) advised that Wal-Mart is sponsoring flag football games; one
will be in Ocoee in Freedom Park, to raise funds for Give the Kids the World. 5) announced the
Soccer kick off at 9am also on Saturday, 6) thanked staff for the great job on the haunted house.
