(Jorge Cruz-Bustillo, Esquire) Ordinance No. 2001-13, Adjusting Telecommunications Tax Rate to Maximum. City Attorney Rosenthal read the title only of the Ordinance. He then pointed out there were three ordinances which were related, 2001-13, 2001-14, and 2001-15 and any comments made for one would carryover to each separate public hearing. Special Counsel Jorge Cruz-Bustillo, Leibowitz and Associates, briefed Commission on the new legislation regarding telecommunications and advised he had prepared these ordinances for Ocoee and other jurisdictions he represents in accordance with the new laws. The public hearing was opened. Mr. Ken Shipley, Public Affairs Manager with Sprint, 207 Linda Avenue, Kissimmee, said there are still some questions to be answered with regards to wireless providers, abandoned facilities, and about five other issues. He asked that the decision on Ordinance No. 2001-15 be postponed so that he could work with staff to resolve those issues. Mr. Gary Allington, representing BellSouth, read from a prepared statement requesting the decision regarding Ordinance No. 2001-15 be postponed until a full evaluation of the industry's comments has been made. Mr. Cruz-Bustillo responded that he had received letters from both Sprint and BellSouth and had received similar letters from the industry in other jurisdictions he represents. He said they wished to argue over nuances rather than real issues; i.e., (1) Whether this applies to radio or satellite telephones is an issue of the Florida Legislature, not this body. (2) The specific definition f communication services cannot be changed by this body. (3) The local zoning authority is preserved with a specific statement in the ordinance. (4) BellSouth had asked that the Security Bond in the amount of $50,000 be reduced to $25, 000 and the document prepared for signatures has $25,000, as he had intended to change it and it was an oversight on his part in preparing the document which was distributed. (5) BellSouth also questioned having all new facilities underground. That only applies to competitive local exchange companies. Both Sprint and BellSouth are considered incumbent local exchange companies - and are governed Page 5 of 14 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting June 19, 2001 by Florida Public Service Commission. He said he had clarified language at BellSouth's suggestion even though it did not apply to them as it was a good idea. (6) The City must provide a contact person. Mr. Cruz-Bustillo recommended adoption of the Ordinance as presented with the following changes: Section 162-7.D. change the payment from 14 days to 30 days; Section 162-14 change security fund from $50,000 to $25,000, and two places where it said "Public Works Department" to "City," change the word "Resolve" to "Enact," and correct the signature blocks. Both Mr. Shipley and Mr. Allington asked again that the decision be postponed, as the issue regarding as-builts has not yet been resolved or clarified Mr. Cruz-Bustillo said this ordinance has already been adopted by a dozen entities and he recommended leaving in the section regarding as-builts, for the protection it provides in requiring a copy of the as-builts within 60 days after finishing a new facility. Mr. R.P. Mohnacky, 1820 Prairie Lake Boulevard, asked how he would be taxed. Mayor Vandergrift said he would be taxed only on that portion of the service he uses. Assistant City Engineer Wheeler said the Engineering Department would not be opposed to approval of the ordinances as presented and they could sit down with Sprint and BellSouth after the fact to see if they want to make any changes. The public hearing was closed. City Attorney Rosenthal asked Mr. Cruz-Bustillo if there had been any changes to Ordinance No. 2001-13 as it was presented in the packet, and Mr. Criz-Bustillo said there had not, as the only ordinance with changes was No. 2001-15, providing for Telecommunications Service Rights-of-Way. Commissioner Anderson. seconded by Commissioner Johnson. moved to adopt Ordinance No.201-13. adiusting Telecommunications Tax Rate to Maximum as presented. Motion carried 5-0.

Page 6 of 14 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting June 19, 2001 Mr. Cruz-Bustillo explained this Ordinance will provide a tax in lieu of collecting and requiring permit fees at the local level and will compensate the City for what previously was charged at the local level. The public hearing was opened and, as no one wished to speak, was closed.

He pointed out also in the agenda packets in connection with this Ordinance there is a letter from Mr. Cruz-Bustillo to Jim Gleason dated May 25,2001, which includes the proposed Ordinance No. 2001-15. Subsequent to that, on June 15, Mr. Cruz-Bustillo forwarded to Finance Supervisor Carter a final version of the Ordinance which incorporates the additional changes that were referenced in Mr. Cruz-Bustillo's presentation, as well as the correction of the City of Ocoee signature block forms. Mr. Rosenthal said any motion to adopt should include those changes. Mr. Cruz-Bustillo added he had made changes in a meeting this morning and those were the ones he had specified in his report earlier in this meetng. The public hearing was opened and, as no one wished to speak, was closed. Commissioner Anderson. seconded bv Commissioner Johnson. moved to adopt Ordinance No. 2001-15. providing for Telecommunications Service Right-of-Wav. with the changes stated bv Citv Attorney Rosenthal and Mr. Cruz-Bustillo. Motion carried 5-0. City Attorney Rosenthal pointed out the general repealer clause in the ordinance, and said staff will be looking through the City's Code for any conflicts, so there may be another ordinance coming back to specifically repeal certain provisions of the Code. He noted that would be an opportune time for Sprint or BellSouth to come back with any changes they wish to have considered. Commissioner Johnson asked Mr. Shipley to stop by the corner of Silver Star Road and Bluford Avenue and look at the abomination Sprint put up in the right-of-way area. RECESS 9:35 - 9:50 P.M. Page 7 of 14 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting June 19, 2001 Resolution No. 2001-08, Mercantile Court Right-of-Way Vacation, Case No. V AC-OI-001. (Planning Director Wagner) City Attorney Rosenthal read the title only of the Resolution. Planning Director Wagner gave the staff report, and said, in order to save a large oak tree and still have the appropriate retention pond while widening Maguire Road, the City requires the vacation of the southern 30:t feet of the cul-de-sac portion of public right-of-way on the street known as Mercantile Court and located in the northern portion of Lot 1 Ocoee Commercial Park. He added notices had been sent to all utility providers and City Department Directors and there were no objections to the proposed vacation. Property owners within 300 feet of the road right-of-way were mailed a notification and an ad appeared in the June 7, 2001, Orlando Sentinel. The public hearing was opened. Don Wingate, 670 Kissimmee Avenue, representing McKinlin, Inc. which was the developer of Ocoee Commercial Park and is the owner of the Ocoee Self Storage on Lot 3, asked three questions: (1) In 1990, as part of the Development Agreement for Ocoee Commercial Park, they dedicated a 60 foot right-of-way off Maguire Road and dead-ending at Lot 3, and then constructed Mercantile Court according to the City specifications. Then in 1997, s part of the Development Agreement for Ocoee Self Storage, they granted additional lands from Lot 1 and Lot 2 to accommodate a 60 foot radius right-of-way on the west end of Mercantile Court and to construct a 50 foot paved surface cul-de-sac because the City required it for public safety. What changed? Was the design criteria that required a 60 foot radius right- of-way excessive? Or is it that the needs for the improvement to Maguire Road and the necessary retention pond outweigh the need for public safety? (2) Regarding the right-of-way vacation precedent: Should the final developer of Lot 2 (if he has a development that will not fit within the confines of Lot 2) expect a portion of the right-of-way to be vacated so he can remove the cul-de-sac on the north side so his project will fit? (3) Regarding the right-of-way vacation process: How is it that the public hearing for the vacation is being held now, after the demolition phase of the project has already taken place? The curbs and pavement have been removed . Assistant City Engineer Wheeler said the curbs and pavement that have been removed are a part of a dedicated right-of-way and they had authorized the removal after the purchase of Lot 1 was made. He said they had looked for a way to save the tree (as there are not many trees in that area) and still have the needed retention area for stormwater management. At that time they required the dedication of the cul-de-sac. Page 8 of 14 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting June 19, 2001 Fire Chief Strosnider said in order to save the tree, they had determined they could back the truck out since it was a short distance. Mr. Wingate said he was not objecting to the vacation, but he was frustrated to know that if he had come in as a developer asking for this same consideration, it would never have cleared staff. Mr. Wagner pointed out this widening of Maguire Road was being done as an improvement for the benefit of the public, not a private development. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Howell. seconded by Mayor Vandera:rift. moved to adopt Resolution No. 2001-08. vacating a portion of Mercantile Court right-of-way. as presented. Motion carried 5- Q. OTHER BUSINESS THIS ITEM WAS TAKEN OUT OF AGENDA ORDER Approval of Coke Property Master Planning and Engineering Contract. (Planning Director Wagner) John Martin, Orange County School Board, reported the School Board approved in their meeting tonight their portion of the funding for the Coca Cola Property Master Planning, and they are ready to go as soon as the road and utilities are ready. Planning Director Wagner gave the staff report and said on an expedited planning and engineering schedule they will return before Commission in four months with the basic outlines of the plan and shortly thereafter will begin the process of approvals. He asked for approval of the proposed Scope of Services and Fee Schedule for Master Planning and Engineering Services associated with development of the Coke Property, subject to approval of Orange County Public Schools for their portion of the fees, and further authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a contract prepared by the City Attorney to effectuate an agreement between the City and Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. to accomplish same. Based on the Scope of Services as outlined, the total professional fees for the entire project are proposed not to exceed $429,850. Of this total Orange County Public Schools will pay $184,275 with the City picking up the remainder estimated at $245,575. Commissioner Howell. seconded by Commissioner Parker. moved to approve the proposed Scope of Services and Fee Schedule for Master Planning and Engineering Services associated with development of the Coke Property. as outlined above. subiect to approval of Orange Countv Public Schools for their portion of the fees. and further authorize the Mayor and City Page 9 of 14 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting June 19, 2001 Clerk to execute a contract prepared by the City Attornev to effectuate an agreement between the City and Vanasse Hangen Brustlin.

First Reading: Ordinance No. 2001-16, Amending Chapter 168 by Granting Authority to Certain Fire Department Officials to Enforce Certain Parking and Traffic Provisions Related to Fire Safety. (Fire Chief Strosnider) Second Reading and Public Hearing Scheduled for July 17, 2001 at 7:15 p.m. City Attorney Rosenthal read the title only of the Ordinance and announced the time and date of the second reading and public hearing. Approval and Authorization for Work Order No.2 with Architects Design Group for Design through Building Stage for Fire Station No.1. (Fire Chief Strosnider) Fire Chief Strosnider said the needs study had been completed, and they are in the process of purchasing the land fronting on Bluford Avenue at Orlando Avenue, so he was ready to move forward with the design phase of Fire Station No.1. He said the committee toured several fire stations and surveys have been sent out to all members of the department for input. Mayor Vandergrift asked if the surrounding area could also be serviced when the sewer lift station is put in for the Fire Station. Commissioner Johnson said he wished to be included in any further committee trips to look at facilities and wanted to see a copy of the survey results. He said the committee should be surveyed after their last trip as well. He added he would not vote in favor of a one story building. Commissioner Howell said he was going to Cedar Key to see their new facility and had been promised a copy of the plans. Kevin Ratigan, Architects Design Group, Inc., said this is a request for work authorization to proceed and does not include a floor plan Commissioner Johnson said he wished to be the ex-officio member of the firefighters' committee working on the design of the fire station, so a motion was made, seconded and then withdrawn when Mr. Rosenthal explained such a move would place the entire committee subject to the Sunshine Law. Commissioner Anderson asked about the money that would be spent prior to reaching a decision about one story or two story. Page 10 of 14 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting June 19, 2001 Mr. Ratigan responded the standard fee is generally broken down into schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, and finally construction administration of the project. The first phase of the project where the number of stories would be dealt with would be in the first 15 % of the budget, so it would be important for an informed decision to be made early on. Commissioner Johnson said he thought administration should be downstairs and the living quarters upstairs. Commissioner Anderson. seconded by Commissioner Howell. moved to authorize the firm of Architects Design Group. Inc. to oroceed with Service Authorization 99-02-2 and authorize the Mavor and City Clerk to execute all the documents necessarv to consummate the transaction of the Agreement. Motion carried 5-0. Discussion re City Manager/City Commission Responsibilities. (City Manager Gleason) City Manager Gleason directed attention to the copies of the City Charter in the packet. He said there had been a question earlier about employees talking with the elected officials and wanted to clarify he feels the free flow of information is very important. He encouraged the elected officials to call him at any time for information and if there were specific concerns about the daily administrative duties it may be easier to bring it to the dais to give direction. He talked about hypothetically being given conflicting direction by two commissioners, and he said he wants to avoid having 320 employees use the elected officials as their personal agents. He assured all that he wished to follow the wishes of this Commission. Discussion ensued about a retreat, and Mr. Gleason said he would like to arrange a retreat for the elected officials and staff with the first half of the day for the elected officials and then joint for the second half. Mayor Vandergrift said he wants to consider a civil service policy rather than have the City Manager have total control. Amendments to Orange County/City of Ocoee Utility Service Territorial Agreements. (City Engineer/Utilities Director Shira and Engineer I Lee) Assistant City Engineer Wheeler gave the staff report, and said Orange County had rejected the amendments approved in February 15, 2000, because of the surcharge on non-resident customers. Since then a new surcharge amount was introduced to reduce the amount of surcharge from 25 % to 20% and then further reduce it by 1 % per year over five years to 15 %. Mr. Wheeler noted this affects fewer than 50 people. A memo dated January 26,2001, requested an amendment to the Service Area Boundary and introduced the new Ordinance that Page 11 of 14 Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting June 19, 2001 stipulated the new surcharge rates; and it was approved February 16, 2001.

COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Johnson 1) Said the citizens of Winter Garden had complained they could not see the Ocoee Commission meetings on Channel 10. Mayor Vandergrift said they were advised at the outset that a letter from the Winter Garden Commission would be necessary for them to be included in the channel and they failed to take action, as did Windermere and Oakland. He said it would be fine if they wanted to join Ocoee and make it a West Orange Government Channel. Commissioner Anderson said, as we have our own T -1, we could do a streaming video of the commission meetings on our web page, and should look into setting aside funds for that. 2) Announced the dedication of the Sam Oliver Water Plant on Saturday, June 30 at 10 a.m. at the water plant on the east side of Maguire Road, south of the Turnpike, and north of Cross Creek Subdivision.

He thanked all those who took part in the cleanup. 3) Read an e-mail from a citizen asking if the Coke Property was going to be a safe place for a school, as they had read about the bird kill associated with Lake Apopka.
