Discussion Pineloch Management Property Proposed Park/School Site Acquisition. (Director of Planning Wagner) Director of Planning Wagner said that last year the City submitted a proposal for a Florida Communities Trust Grant to fund the acquisition of a 35 acre park site at the subject location adjoining the West Orange Trail. This proposal was based on the developer contributing the minimum required City share of the purchase amount (25%) in the form of a discounted sales price on the land. While the City did not get this grant it will be able to try again this year. Mr. Wagner presented maps and pictures of the proposed park/school site to the Commission. He reported the subject property is a 20+/- acre park site adjoining a possible future elementary school site. The property is north ofClarcona Ocoee Road and east of Hobson Road. Mr. Wagner stated part ofthe reason for seeking to secure this park site had to do with its excellent central location within the expanding north end of the City. He said Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) staff determined that the northern 15+/- acres of the site would be very suitable for an elementary school site. Based upon the School Board's interest in the acquisition, PMC has made a proposal to sell the land to OCPS contingent on the City acquiring the remainder of the property. He said a letter from Richard Gonzales, the owner, outlines the terms for acquisition of the property. OCPS would pay cash for their part of the property this year, but the City would pay for their portion over a four-year period beginning in 2004. The sale is contingent upon a simultaneous closing by both OCPS and the City. He said the acquisition of the park would need to be funded out of general revenue. During the following discussion Mr. Wagner, Mr. Gonzales, and City Manager Gleason responded to questions from the Commission. Recreation Director Farmer said he had attended a meeting in Maitland last week with the Florida Community Trust and was able to ask questions as to why the grant was not approved last year. He said getting those answers should help in being able to improve the grant request that will be submitted this year therefore improving the City's chances at being awarded the grant. Mayor Vander~rift. seconded by Commissioner Parker. move to approve authorization to proceed in working out a tri-party agreement with the School Board and authorize obtaining whatever appraisals necessary and negotiate an equitable price with the owner and bring back the agreed upon contracts to the Commission for final adoption. Motion carried 4-1. Commissioner Howell voted no. Board Appointments (City Clerk Grafton) Planning & Zoning Commission 3 Year Term. Tanya Miller's Term Ends June 2002. Page 6 of9 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting May 21,2002 Commissioner Anderson requested a discussion about the possibility ofterm limits for the volunteer boards in order to allow more people to become involved. Commissioner Parker suggested the City inquire as to what Orlando or Orange County does. It was also suggested a report should come to the Commission at time of reappointment which would indicate the appointee's attendance and participation. She also stated that other communities have an oral interview process and perhaps the Commission should consider something along those lines. Mayor Vandergrift stated that Orange County has a volunteer coordinator for boards who finds volunteers to serve on boards. He asked if Mike Miller's appointment as volunteer coordinator fell into that category. Commissioner Parker stated that up to this point the Commission was the entity that searched out volunteers for boards, but if there was a role to play for someone else in that capacity the Commission should take a look a establish a policy if necessary. Without objection, staff was directed to check into and report back what Orange County's policy is on this matter. Denise Lenko, 417 Sterling Lake Drive, addressed the board to inquire why her reappointment to the Code Enforcement Board had been removed from the previous agenda. She also expressed her opinions as to why board members with experience should be reappointed and not replaced with inexperienced new appointees. Discussion re: Take Home Vehicle Policy. (Police Chief Mark) Chief Mark presented the four (4) proposed changes to the Take Home Vehicle Policy Plan. I. The JP A boundary will serve as the defined area for "Take Home Vehicles" 2. The "Take Home V ehicle" will not be permitted outside JP A boundaries, unless the individual is Officially ON- Call* or On Duty. *The On-Call assignment is rotated every week, 2 detectives, 2 homicide officers, 1 K-9 officer and 1 public information officer are on call each week. Ocoee Police Department has a total of 6 detectives and 8 traffic homicide officers. Those living outside ofthe JP A will take a vehicle home only when on-call. 3. Reduce the waiting period for the "Take Home Vehicle" to 4 months. Once an officer who lives inside the JP A completes their 4 month Field Training Probation successfully, they would be permitted a "Take Home Vehicle" 4. The K -9 Officers would be exempt from this policy due to the special requirements and equipment needed for handling K-9s on a 24/7 basis. The Commission had lively discussion with Chief Mark responding to questions. It was determined that proposed change No.4 exempting the K- g officers from the JP A area only was already being observed due to the requirements and equipment needed for handling K-9s on a 24/7 basis. Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Parker, moved to approve proposed changes No. I. to make the Joint Planning Area (JP A) boundary as the take home vehicle boundary and No.3. to reduce the waiting period to 4 months and to direct staff to select committee members to work on a solution for No.2. Motion carried 5-0. Staff was also directed to bring back a report on how many officers are affected by the JP A. Resolution No. 2002-06, Requesting Governor Bush to Support the Project for Florida Central Railroad Intermodal. (City Manager Gleason) City Manager Gleason stated that the lobbyist suggested that while the bill for the Intermodal Railroad project was on Governor Bush's desk it would be appropriate to send a message from the City urging his support. Mayor Vandergrift inquired as to how many extra trains would be Page 7 of9 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting May 21,2002 coming through the City. City Manager Gleason explained how the project came to be, how the railway would relieve the truck traffic on State Road 50, and responded to questions. Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Parker, moved to adopt Resolution No. 2002-06. Motion carried 3-0. Commissioner Howell was away from the dais. Commissioner Johnson abstained from voting due to conflict of interest. Resolution No. 2002-07, Requesting Governor Bush to Support the Maine Street-Reliever for SR50 Project. (City Manager Gleason) City Manager Gleason gave the background information on the Maine Street project. He spoke about how it will reduce traffic on State Road 50 daily and especially when the widening of SR50 begins. Mr. Gleason said the project was in the City's CIP whether the State of Florida participated or not. He said State Representative Randy Johnson had gone to bat for the City to attempt to get a minimum of $800,000.00 to match the money from the Auto Auction and some Right of Way monies. Mr. Gleason said it would also make some land in the area more economically developable. Mayor Vandererift. seconded by Commissioner Johnson. moved to adopt Resolution No. 2002-07. Motion carried 4-0. Commissioner Howell was away from the dais. STAFF REPORTS City Manager Gleason said that last year Principal Kate Clark, Ocoee Middle School, asked the Commission for $15,000.00 for additional landscaping along Bluford Avenue. He reminded the Commission that at the time the Commission had advised Ms. Clark the funds were not available to assist her with her request. Mr. Gleason said the City had done some work at Spring Lake Elementary and had not been paid by the School Board until just recently and Ms. Clark asked if the City might give that money since it would not affect the City Budget. A discussion followed with questions being responded to by Mr. Gleason. Mayor Vander~rift moved to give 5. 000.00 to Ocoee Middle School for the purchase of large Oak trees. Motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Parker moved to grant $2.500.00 for the purchase of trees at Ocoee Middle School. Motion died for lack of a second.
