STAFF REPORT
Police Department
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Comm EP
FROM: Deputy Police Chief Goclon
DATE: February 15, 2011
RE: Budget Amendment: Three (3) officers' salaries, benefits, and related equipment/ three (3)
patrol vehicles for 2010 COPS Hiring Program Grant
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On March 16, 2009, the Ocoee Police Department applied for a COPS Hiring Program Grant. The grant will
fund salaries and benefits for three (3) sworn police officers for three (3) years. On September 16, 2010, the
Ocoee Police Department received notification that it was awarded the grant. At the December 7, 2010
Commission meeting, the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners voted to accept the grant. The
amount awarded for three (3) officers' salaries and benefits for a three (3) year period is $627,108. As one (1) of
the officer positions is a currently frozen position and two (2) of the positions would be new, a budget
amendment will be necessary. The cost of salaries and benefits for three (3) officers for the remainder of the
2010/2011 fiscal year is $121,938. This would be reimbursed by the COPS Hiring Program Grant. The cost of
three (3) equipped patrol vehicles is $74,625. The cost of uniforms and individual equipment for the three (3)
officers is $16,500. Federal Equitably Shared Funds (forfeiture funds) may be used to purchase vehicles,
uniforms, and equipment for these officers.
ISSUE
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve the proposed budget amendment and
authorize the purchase of three (3) new police vehicles and required equipment from Federal Equitably Shared
Funds (forfeiture funds)?
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve the proposed budget
amendment and authorize the purchase of three (3) new police vehicles and required equipment from Federal
Equitably Shared Funds (forfeiture funds).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Total impact: $213,063. The cost of salaries and benefits for three (3) officers for the remainder of the
2010/2011 fiscal year is $121,938. This would be reimbursed by the COPS Hiring Program Grant. The cost of
three (3) equipped patrol vehicles is $74,625. The cost of uniforms and individual equipment for the three (3)
officers is $16,500. Federal Equitably Shared Funds (forfeiture funds) may be used to purchase vehicles,
uniforms, and equipment for these officers.

STAFF REPORT
Fire Department
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Fire Chief McNeil
DATE: February 15, 2011
RE: FY 2011 Budget Amendment Approval to permit use of revenue generated from sale of
surplus 1996 Pierce Dash 75' aerial and two 1994 KME pumpers for the purchase of a transport capable
rescue truck.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On May 18 , 2010 the City approved a roved the Fire department to declare two 1994 KME pumpers and
one 1996 Pierce Dash aerial surplus. They further approved the sale of these trucks with the generated revenue
from the sales to be used to purchase a transport capable rescue truck.
ISSUE
All three of the apparatus mentioned above have been sold for a total of $197,500. However, the funds were not
received until January 2011. Therefore a FY2010 -11 budget amendment must be approved to allow the
$197,500 to be added to revenue with the off - setting approval to purchase the transport capable rescue with that
revenue as approved in FY2009 -10 budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Commission approve the Fire Department budget amendment to utilize the recently
obtained revenue of $197,500 from the sale of three surplus trucks for the purchase of a transport capable rescue
truck.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The approval of this budget amendment will have no negative impact on the current budget.

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 25, 2011
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Russ Wagner, General Employees' Retirement Board Chairman
Subject: Pension Plan Technician / Budget Amendment Request
The City of Ocoee General Employees' Retirement Trust Fund Board of Trustees is
requesting an amendment to the City of Ocoee Operating Budget to add a part-time
position for a Pension Plan Technician. *see attached job description
This position would be 100% funded annually by the Retirement Trust Fund at an
initial rate of $25,000 / year. The employee would reside within the Finance
Department, although the predominate daily work effort would be on Retirement
Board matters as directed by the Board Chairman
Over the past several years, the administration of the Retirement Trust Fund has
shifted between various departments, and records management has been a
challenge. A recent audit conducted for the Board suggested several operation
changes to ensure successful long -term management of the Fund. The Fund now
has over $20 million in assets and almost 200 participants, so daily administration
requires a more focused and reliable approach.
There have been numerous discussions with the City manager regarding the best
approach to provide continuing administration and records management for our
employees' retirement program. The Board and City Staff have agreed that an in-
house employee would be preferable to hiring an outside employee or consultants,
since the clerical duties required to help the Board administer the Retirement Fund
have always been provided by City employees. The Board believes this
arrangement will best meet the long -term needs of our members to ensure they are
capably served.
