C. Approval and Authorization to File a Declaratory Judgment Action Against
FPC Requesting the Court to Declare the Rights and Obligations of FPC to
Indemnify and Defend the City Concerning the Claims of Ryan Incorporated
Eastern. (City Attorney Rosenthal, Assistant City Attorney Horan)
Ryan Incorporated Eastern, the contractor on the Maguire Road Improvements
Segment One and Two, submitted claims for additional compensation to the City of
Ocoee. After mediation the claims remain unresolved and Ryan recently provided
notice that it wanted the court to set the case for trial. As it appeared the majority of
the damages Ryan was seeking were attributed by Ryan to have been caused by
Florida Power Corporation, the City served FPC with demands for indemnification
and a defense concerning those demands. FPC has refused those demands.
D. Approval and Authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to Execute the
Proposed First Amendment to the Tri-Party Agreement with Orange County
and Battaglia Fruit Company. (Community Development Director Wagner)
The Tri-Party Agreement was entered into originally at the urging of Orange County
in 1994 to protect the Clarcona Rural Settlement Area from expanding urban growth.

commercial, thereby eliminating the need for the required 25-foot buffer.
