CONSENT AGENDA ALL MATTERS LISTED UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE AND WILL BE ACTED UPON BY ONE MOTION. THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS UNLESS DISCUSSION IS DESIRED BY A MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION, IN WHICH CASE THE MAYOR WILL INSTRUCT THE CITY CLERK TO REMOVE THAT ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND SUCH ITEM WILL BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY. 1. Approval of the Regular City Commission Minutes held on November 17, 2009. (City Clerk Eikenberry) 2. Appointment to the Police Officers and Firefighters Retirement Trust Fund Board of Trustees. (City Clerk Eikenberry) Each member of the Police Officer's and Firefighter's Retirement Trust Fund Board of Trustees, as amended in Ordinance 2002-013, serves a two-year term. The City Commission appoints two of the trustees from applications received, two are elected from the employee body (one police officer and one firefighter), and the fifth trustee is chosen by those four trustees and presented to the City commission for certification of the appointment as a ministerial act. One vacant trustee position, previously filled by Nora Gledich, has a term remaining until September 30,2010. R. Wayne Vaughn has indicated he is willing to serve until the term ends, and has submitted an application. There are no other applications on file at this time. 3. Approval to Piggyback Palm Beach County Contract #08051 for the Provision and Installation of Playground Equipment at Prairie Lake Park. (CIP Manager Butler) As part of the overall plan for improvement of Prairie Lake Park, the City is expanding the existing playground area currently located in the park. The existing equipment was purchased in 2005 from City Commission Regular December 1, 2009 Playmore Recreational Products, Inc. as part of the first phase of construction. Installing the new playground equipment is a requirement of the $200,000 Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) grant the City for the second phase of the project. Staff is requesting permission to piggyback the Palm Beach County playground equipment contract (No. 08051) to have Playmore Recreational Products, Inc. supply and install the new playground equipment. Using equipment from the same supplier through the Palm Beach County contract will enhance the appearance of the fmished multi-phase project while still enjoying the benefits of competitive bidding. 4. Approval of Award of Bid #BI0-0l Prairie Lake Park on Lake Hackney to the Watauga Company in the Amount of $231,540.36. (Purchasing Agent Tolbert) Bids were received for the construction of improvements at Prairie Lake Park. The project consists of furnishing the labor, material, equipment, tools, services and other incidentals required to construct improvements to the Prairie Lake Park. The construction consists generally of site preparation, demolition, stormwater, construction of new asphalt drive, concrete walks, fencing, restroom, volleyball court, basketball court, bike rack, nature trail, and landscaping. 5. Approval for Prairie Lake Boat Dock Construction. (CIP Manager Butler) The City of Ocoee applied for and was awarded a $200,000 matching grant under the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) to complete a number of improvements at the City's Prairie Lake Park. Among the portions of the proposed project funded by the FRDAP grant is a boat dock extending into Lake Hackney. The construction of the proposed boat dock is similar to an observation pier recently completed on Lake Moxie in the City's Central Park. The plan is to construct an eight-foot-wide boat dock extending 70 feet from the wetlands buffer line with a 12 ft. by 12 ft. terminal platform and al6 ft. by 8 ft. floating platform with aluminum ramp. The floating dock, which would be placed longitudinally across the end of the higher structure, would provide a means for boating users to access their vehicles from the structure. (They presently have to wade to the boat after launching. ) 6. Approval for Central Park Boat Dock Extension. (CIP Manager Butler) An observation pier was recently completed on Lake Moxie in the City's Central Park. As part of the next phase of improvements to that park, the City plans to construct a sand-bottom, non-motorized boat ramp adjacent to the pier. The observation pier is too high above the water to serve effectively as a boat dock, so staff solicited bids from dock construction companies to build and install a 16 ft. by 8 ft. floating platform with aluminum ramp at the end of the pier. The floating dock, which would be placed longitudinally across the end of the higher structure, would both eliminate the ability for illicit divers to use the higher platform and provide a means for boating users to access their vehicles from the structure. (They would otherwise have to wade to the boat after launching.) The cost proposal is $7,296.00 for the floating platform and gangway, plus an additional $500 to modify the existing pier to mount the gangway. The price for the work is based on award of the similar construction at Prairie Lake Park. 7. Approval of Fountains at Highland Park (AKA: Fountains at Tivoli Place) - Request for a One (1 ) Year Time Extension of the Approved Preliminary Subdivision/Site Plan. (Principal Planner Fabre) On November 18, 2008, the City Commission approved a PUD/Rezoning, Land Use Plan and Preliminary Subdivision/Site Plan for the Fountains at Highland Park (AKA: Fountains at Tivoli Place) project. The Preliminary Subdivision/Site Plan allows for a mixed-use development consisting of professional office, medical office, and accessory retail and restaurant. On November 18,2009, the Development Services Department received a letter from the developer/owner of the property requesting for a one (I) year time extension of the Preliminary Subdivision/Site Plan approval. 8. Approval for Purchase of Outdoor Movie Screen for the Movie in the Park Program. (Parks and Recreation Director Hayes) The City staff is requesting that the Honorable Mayor and City Commission authorize the purchase of a 20' x II' inflatable movie screen from Open Air Cinema, in the amount of $6,330.25. The new screen is being requested in order to upgrade from the current screen which is 13' x 6', and is intended to enhance the viewing enjoyment of spectators attending the Movie in the Park program. Funds are available in a grant that the Parks and Recreation Department received from the Hartle M. Bowness Charitable Trust Fund. Page 2 of5 City Commission Regular December 1, 2009 I G.
