A Formal Presentation will be made at the next regular City Commission meeting on
September 6, 2011
Summary:
On June 7, 2011 the City Commission voted to create an early Districting Commission in order
to change the commission district boundaries in time for the 2012 Municipal Election. The
Districting Commission began meeting in July 2011 and has held six meetings, including a
Public Hearing on August 30, 2011. The board began with population data from the 2010
Census, and considered other factors such as future growth, race /ethnicity percentages, zoning,
foreclosures, etc. to create a plan that would work efficiently over the five year period. After
creating and reviewing six redistricting plans, the Districting Commission first voted to eliminate
Board Plans 1 through 4, and then unanimously voted to recommend Board Plan 5 to the City
Commission as the most preferred plan.
Process:
Ocoee City Charter Article XI, Section C -66(D)
Recommendations to the City Commission. All reports of the Districting Commission shall be
available to the public and submitted to the City Commission in accordance with such
reasonable deadlines as may be established by the City Commission or as may otherwise be
required by law. Within two (2) months of the receipt of any such reports, the City Commission
shall accept or reject the recommendations contained therein, or the City Commission may send
such reports back to the Districting Commission for further study and consideration. The
establishment of the initial geographic boundaries of the four (4) single- member districts and
any subsequent redistricting of such boundaries shall be done by ordinance by the City
Commission; provided, however, that the City Commission shall not establish or redistrict such
boundaries until after receipt of a report from the Districting Commission containing
recommendations relating thereto, unless the Districting Commission fails to deliver its report
by the deadline established by the City Commission.
Recommendation:
After creating and reviewing six various plans for the redistricting of the City of Ocoee
commission districts and holding a Public Hearing on August 30, 2011, the Districting
Commission unanimously voted to recommend Board Plan #5.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR JULY 6, 2011, AND JULY 20, 2011

TRIALS OF VARIOUS DISTRICT BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS — Creation of
Additional Board Plans
libse GIS Analyst O'Halloran summarized the last meeting and presented the new Board Plan 1 (see
attachment), which the committee requested. All the numbers were within the 5% deviation and
resulted in an improvement over the current districts.
Board Plan 1
District 1: -0.75
District 2: -0.24
District 3: 1.04
District 4: -0.40
Chairman Dabbs clarified that this was the district plan that Member Butler had requested to be
saved. GIS Analyst O'Halloran answered affirmatively. GIS Analyst O'Halloran showed
the two proposed changes to the districts and stated that Ingram Estates is all built out so the
population for that subdivision has been accounted for as of the census. He further stated the
Security Circle split that is proposed would go straight down that subdivision and cut it in half so
he split the census blocks to provide two other options that would not split Security Circle,
should the board want to adjust the boundary line.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran provided handouts of the population density by race maps.
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
July 27, 2011
Member Adams stated he would like to see Mr. O'Halloran adjust a different line because when
rlire they look at the potential population growth, District 2 is built out whereas District 3 has an
incredible amount of on -going projects for development. Member Adams requested if the
boundary line from Orlando Avenue could be moved down to either Geneva or Maine Street.
City Clerk Eikenberry advised that staff had tried the option of moving boundary lines around
the area he is referring too and it did help the deviation a lot but the only problem is that it moved
a Commissioner out of his district. Member Chinelly stated he also looked at that area and he
counted the total of the census block in that area at 396. Member Adams stated that when they
look at the current numbers as they stand District 2 and 4 are negative. Chairman Dabbs
stated to save Commissioner Johnson's district he would suggest that they move the boundary
from Ohio Street to McKey Street into District 2. He further stated they could also move
Kelton Ave. to Hwy 50 because it would allow for growth. City Attorney Rosenthal stated
that if the moved the boundary down to Maine Street as they just discussed then they will be
picking up some land, which is designated multi- family as part of the CRA, and there could be
some intensive growth with District 2.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran briefly demonstrated the change in the boundary line requested and he
further stated he will have to split the census block and reassign the population if they are
looking to create a new area. Further discussion ensued regarding the boundary line being
moved in the Geneva Street area. City Attorney Rosenthal advised the board that the census
block can be split but it cannot be done tonight since that would take Mr. O'Halloran several
hours so if they are suggesting a split it should be something they are seriously considering.
r Member Chinelly stated he agrees with what Member Adams has expressed regarding the
growth issues in the City and can see that having to change larger number of populations between
districts is difficult unless they off set it with other areas. He further stated the other area he
looked at in addition to the Maine Street/Geneva Street areas is moving population from District
1 to District 3 on the north end of District 3. This move would bring the northern limits of
District 3 to Fuller's Cross Road as well as take anything west of Lakewood Ave. City
Attorney Rosenthal stated that if there is interest in this plan they could save it as a board plan
or make some further tweaks before they decide to save it.
Board Plan 2
District 1: 2.68
District 2: 4.04
District 3: -3.83
District 4: -2.89
Consensus of the board was to save the plan suggested by Member Chinelly, as detailed above,
as Board Plan 2 (see attachment).
Member Chinelly stated if the plan above becomes too much of a delta then they can exclude
the Maine Street area which would then require a split. He further suggested they could also
keep the change recommended in Board Plan 1 with Ingram Estates going into District 4. City
Clerk Eikenberry inquired if the board had the option of stating they would like this plan to go
Slow

City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
July 27, 2011
into effect after the upcoming election because the proposed districts may move the districts
farther from ideal population that existing districts. City Attorney Rosenthal stated it will just
►° be a matter of laws to when the ordinance is adopted and the timeframe with the Charter. If it is
in place 90 days prior to the election than the districts could be based on this, if it is not then they
would have the existing districts until the next election cycle. City Clerk Eikenberry stated she
was trying to come up with a way to not make the 2012 election less ideal than it currently is.
City Attorney Rosenthal stated that would be a policy question for the City Commission as to
when they acted or did not act on the recommendations of this board. He further advised Mr.
O'Halloran of a minor tweak that may take place on Maine Street due to an upcoming project that
is to be discussed at the next City Commission meeting.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran briefly demonstrated the change to Board Plan 2 by incorporating
Ingram Estates subdivision into District 4. A brief discussion ensued regarding District 1 and 4
having a fair amount of land which would potentially be developed.
Board Plan 3
District 1: 0.19
District 2: 4.04
District 3: -3.83
District 4: -0.40
Member Chinellv, seconded by Vice -Chair Lanev, moved to save Board Plan 3(see attachment).
Motion carried unanimously.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran stated that he would like for the board to look at Board Plan 1 and
some of the areas they were looking to modify. He further stated at the last meeting Board
Plan 1 was created but it has a boundary line that cuts the subdivision in half down Security
Circle so he split the census block to create some other options. City Clerk Eikenberry
clarified that the census splits that Mr. O'Halloran made will now either exclude the entire trailer
park section or includes the entire trailer park section. GIS Analyst O'Halloran demonstrated
a split to the block so there is a proposed boundary line down Mack Street instead of splitting
Security Circle. A brief discussion ensued on whether they would like to make this change to
Board Plan 3 or create a new Board Plan 4. City Attorney Rosenthal clarified that this plan is
a modification of Board Plan 1.
Board Plan 4
District 1: 0.17
District 2: -1.17
District 3: 1.39
District 4: -0.40
Member Chinellv, seconded by Vice-Chair Lanev, moved to save Board Plan 4(see attachment).
Motion carried unanimously.

City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
July 27, 2011
GIS Analyst O'Halloran inquired if the board is instructing that he split the census block along
Geneva Street so they can consider that at the next meeting as a boundary option. Consensus of
the board was to have Mr. O'Halloran split the census block along Geneva Street. Member
Chinelly stated he would like to make a request in having staff provide the board with
information on what was changed at the 2007 re- districting commission. City Attorney
Rosenthal stated the report from the Districting Commission to the City Commission should
have the information Mr. Chinelly is requesting. City Clerk Eikenberry stated she does have
that information along with a copy of the map they adopted with all the dashed lines to show the
changes they made.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m.

CALL TO ORDER
City Clerk Eikenberry called the meeting to order at 6:37 p.m. in the Commission Chambers.
The roll was called and a quorum declared present.
PRESENT
Chairman Dabbs, Vice -Chair Laney, Members Adams (arrived at 6:48 p.m.), Butler, and Chinelly.
Also present were City Attorney Rosenthal, Staff GIS Analyst O'Halloran, City Clerk Eikenberry
and Deputy City Clerk Sibbitt.
ABSENT
None
City Clerk Eikenberry stated the first order of business on the agenda is for the election of
officers but she feels this should be held off until Members Adams arrival.
DISCUSSION/DISTRIBUTION OF HANDOUTS AND MATERIALS
GIS Analyst O'Halloran provided a PowerPoint presentation that briefly summarized some of
the points he made at the last meeting such as the ideal population and deviations. He briefly
explained that what they are ideally trying to achieve is one person one vote which is why they
try to target equal population for each district. His PowerPoint presentation further summarized
the direction that the board requested of staff in providing them with the district builder website,
maps with census blocks and population, vacant/foreclosure homes, land use maps, population
race data, and a list of the approved residential development projects.
During the review of the residential development projects spreadsheet Member Dabbs inquired
if there is legal ramifications if they consider population based on more than three years and if it
remains skewed five years from now. City Attorney Rosenthal stated the answer would be
"no" because that is a factor which they can take into account; however, the 5% deviation has to
be based strictly on the 2010 census population. The information provided to them are factors
that they can take into account to look at how those district might become balanced or
unbalanced over the next five years. Our charter calls for an interim Districting Commission at
the five year level.
Member Chinelly clarified that if they are looking at an ideal population for this process then
they cannot recommend something that skews the difference by more than 5 %. City Clerk
Eikenberry stated that it is 10% total; they can have one district skewed 5% under ideal and
other 5% over. City Attorney Rosenthal stated the ideal would not be a 10% spread between
two districts but that would be legally sufficient. Member Chinelly stated that looking at the
residential development project spreadsheet the numbers would presume everything is totally
16„ built and occupied. GIS Analyst O'Halloran stated that is correct. City Attorney Rosenthal
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
July 20, 2011
stated that all the under construction will not necessarily be completed within the five year period
before there is a new Districting Commission; that is speculative.
DISTRICT BUILDER SOFTWARE
GIS Analyst O'Halloran briefly demonstrated and provided a step -by -step handout to the board
members for the district builder software available on the Florida Senate website. He advised
the board of several situations (such as moving around census blocks to reassign that population
to different districts) that the State's software could not do. Member Butler clarified that they
could still meet with GIS Analyst O'Halloran to use the software provided by the city.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran demonstrated his software and the improvements he made based on
the information they had requested (i.e. foreclosure info. and census race data).
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Member Laney stated she would like to nominate Member Dabbs as Chairman.
Member Dabbs accepted the nomination.
Member Laney, seconded by Member Adams, moved to elect Member Dabbs as Chairman.
Motion carried unanimously.
Member Butler and Member Chinelly both nominated Member Laney as Vice Chair.
Sire
Member Adams, seconded by Member Butler, moved to elect Member Laney as Vice -Chair by
acclamation vote. Motion carried unanimously.
REDISTRICTING STRATERGIES AND TIMELINES
City Clerk Eikenberry briefly reminded the board that the City Commission formed this board
early with the assumption that they wanted this board to come back with some better numbers for
the 2012 election. This puts them on a very tight timeline and if they want to come up with
numbers for the 2012 election than this will have to happen by the end of August or the first
week of September. Chairman Dabbs stated this timeline works for him because he will be
out of town the first week of September. GIS Analyst O'Halloran stated he also has vacation
scheduled for the 1st of September. City Clerk Eikenberry stated the City Commission has
voted on their budget dates so this board can now plan around those dates. Budget dates for
August are on Monday the 8th and Wednesday the 17th. After much discussion on meeting
dates the following timeline was created:
July 27 - Board Meeting
August 3 — Board Meeting
August 24 — Board Meeting; Finalize Boundaries
August 30 - Final Meeting/Public Hearing (if needed)

City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
July 20, 2011
TRIALS OF VARIOUS DISTRICT BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS
GIS Analyst 0' Halloran demonstrated some possible adjustments to the boundaries. City
Attorney Rosenthal stated that in the past if individual committee members met with Mr.
O'Halloran and they came up with a plan that they liked he would then save it and present it as
an option at the following meeting for the whole committee to look at. City Clerk Eikenberry
stated they had six board plans with various changes during the last Districting Commission and
they narrowed it down to two to present to the Commission. Member Butler inquired if staff
has come up with any potential plans. GIS Analyst 0' Halloran stated that staff has not come
up with any plans but they have looked at potential areas that they could split. He further
demonstrated the area that he and the City Clerk looked at which helped bring the deviation to
almost 0 percent for each district except for District 3 which is still the highest deviation at 1.39.
City Clerk Eikenberry explained that this was the closest deviation to 0 they could get in
working with small populated areas. She further stated trying to take residents out of District 3
was very difficult because there were no small areas and they would have had to split a
development. Member Butler stated she would like Mr. 0' Halloran to save the demonstration
he just provided as Plan "A ". She felt this was a pretty good option. Chairman Dabbs also
added that his first take on this option is that there is not much more work that they would have
to do because it is already in compliance. Vice -Chair Laney inquired if they could get a hard
copy of this option to look at or if it would be available on -line for them to view. GIS Analyst
0' Halloran stated he could forward them a pdf or link to where they can view the map.
Member Adams clarified that the projections they are coming up with is for the 2012 election
tier and beyond that they have projections going out three years; however, it is a five year window.
He further inquired if it is there obligation to forecast or draw out the maps for the five years.
City Attorney Rosenthal stated that while this is certainly ideal today from the census
standpoint they may decide that they may want to be 3% lower or less ideal in a district because
of what they think may happen growth wise over the next 5 -6 years. He further stated that is
purely their decision as to whether or not they want to go in that direction. The plan they were
just demonstrated is legally sufficient under the law and can be the plans for the 10 years no
matter what happens in the population growth over the 10 years because it is based on the 2010
census. Under the charter there is an ability to take the look back at everything in five years
based upon projections but that is not a constitutional requirement.
Member Chinelly stated he feels this is a good time for them to discuss the process. He further
explained what he understood the process to be and added that he had some other factors he
would like the Board to consider because he does not feel this should be strictly a numbers
exercise. One of the factors he raised was the effect on a neighborhood if it were split; could
that interfere with a connection they may have to a particular district or commissioner.
Chairman Dabbs stated is that he understands what he is saying and agrees with him to a point
but the bottom line is that this is a numbers game. He further stated he is in favor of any
compassion or human element they want to consider. Vice -Chair Laney inquired if this could
split up any Homeowners Association. GIS Analyst 0' Halloran stated it can because the
census block boundary lines do not always follow neighborhood boundary lines of subdivision
boundary lines so one of the criteria is that they do not want to split up neighborhoods. City

City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
July 20, *airy Attorney Rosenthal inquired if the current districts have any split subdivisions. City Clerk
Eikenberry stated there are no split subdivisions. GIS Analyst 0' Halloran stated that can
use the original re- districting criteria such as keeping the districts as compact and contiguous as
possible. City Clerk Eikenberry stated they can also keep in mind that if they decide on a
specific plan to present to the Commission they can target those residents that will be affected to
make sure they come to the Public Hearing and have a voice. Further discussion ensued
regarding criteria they could consider.
City Clerk Eikenberry announced that there is a Public Hearing regarding the Congressional
State Senate and State House districts. The meeting is in Orlando on July 27, 2011, at 2pm-
4pm and 6pm -8pm at the Bob Carr Performing Arts.

MINUTES OF THE CITY OF OCOEE DISTRICTING COMMISSION MEETING
HELD JULY 6, 2011
CALL TO ORDER
City Clerk Eikenberry called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. in the Commission Chambers.
The roll was called and a quorum declared present.
PRESENT
Members Anthony Adams, Julie Butler, Joe Chinelly, Lester Dabbs, and Victoria Laney. Also
present were Mayor Vandergrift, Commissioner Keller, City Attorney Paul Rosenthal, Staff GIS
Analyst Michael O'Halloran, City Clerk Beth Eikenberry and Deputy City Clerk Sibbitt.
ABSENT
None
City Clerk Eikenberry explained that tonight's meeting will mostly involve the administrative
details such as covering the purpose of the board and the guidelines they have to follow, Florida
sunshine law, and their timeline. She further stated that the Commission created this board
early in order to make changes for the upcoming 2012 election; therefore, they are on a tight
timeline to get everything done by September so that an ordinance can be created with the
amendments and adopted before the election deadlines. The election date has not been
determined yet because the city is piggybacking off of the presidential preference primary and the
date for that is being determined at the federal level. As of right now it seems there is a
tentative date of January 31, 2012, but we will not know for sure until October 1 The
Presidential Preference Primary can be set any time between the first Tuesday in January and the
first Tuesday in March.
City Clerk Eikenberry stated that the election of Chair and Vice Chair is on the agenda but
recommended they hold off on this election due to Member Dabbs' position not having been
officially adopted by the Commission.
The members of the Districting Commission briefly introduced themselves.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Due to Member Dabbs not having been officially appointed by the City Commission this item
was tabled to the next meeting.
REPORT ON LEGAL ISSUES
City Attorney Rosenthal discussed the Florida Sunshine Law for those who have never served
on a board. He also explained the rules of the Public Records Law and how it applies to this
committee. He stated this committee is formed as a Charter requirement and the Districting
Commission is appointed every five years to match the timing of the census and interim period.
ice, City Attorney Rosenthal stated that, as the City Clerk mentioned, they are starting a little bit
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
July 6, 2011
early because they have a schedule in the charter; however when that charter was put together
elections were held with the presidential election and now they do not have any idea on when the
next city election will be held because it has to match the presidential preference primary. They
are trying to accelerate the work of the committee so that the City Commission can have an
opportunity to put new districts in place prior to the 2012 election. If for some reason they miss
the 2012 election that will be fine because the districts can stay in place as they are now and pick
up with the 2013 elections.
City Attorney Rosenthal reminded the committee that they are an advisory group to the City
Commission; therefore, the City Commission is asking them to do all the leg work in putting
together the recommendations. This also means they can disagree /agree with what is presented
to them. The charter does state that if the Commission wants to reject some of their
recommendations they will need to refer some actions back to the Districting Committee. He
stated at the end of this process what they will need to do is put together a report with their
recommendations to the City Commission.
City Attorney Rosenthal explained the City Charter and the requirements for the Districting
Commission therein.
City Attorney Rosenthal explained that districting is based on pure population and not
registered voters or active voters. He said they may take into account the number of registered
voters and active voters and balance that with the population; however, the goal is to create
,,,,,,. districts that are equal to population. The current estimated population of Ocoee is 35,570 and
each district should have 8,892 voters. They should aim for +/ -5% deviation or a 10% range.
He further explained that if they go over +/ -5% range then they can have problems with the
courts. City Attorney Rosenthal explained the data information that they can provide to them
from the Supervisor of Elections Office such as racial mix in the city. He further explained it is
legally permissible to maintain minimal disruption of existing districts. It is permissible to try
and preserve the existing districts. It is permissible to look at the incumbent elected officials
and where they live or do not live; they can consider this in drawing the boundaries but they do
not have to take this into account. It is permissible to look at data related to party affiliation to the
extent they feel it is relevant.
BRIEFING ON CURRENT STATUS OF DISTRICTS
City Clerk Eikenberry advised the board that they are currently under the 5% population
deviation in all the districts but the City Commission has asked for the City to go ahead and form
a Districting Commission since the census numbers are in and everyone at the county and federal
level is moving their boundaries around. The county is also requesting our numbers by
September or early fall so that they can consider our boundaries when they recreate county lines.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran introduced himself and said he would be working with the Districting
Commission regarding maps and the statistics of the redistricting project. He presented data
showing the 2007 population and deviation as well as the current population and deviation. He
also presented data on current district lines and stated new district lines should be drawn to
equalize the districts.
2
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
July 6, 2011
4kr.` GIS Analyst O'Halloran explained that the ideal population for each district would be 8893
because according to the census there are 35,570 total people within the City. He further
explained how he used the census blocks to come up with the population numbers for each
district. He stated using the census blocks is also how this board could make changes to the
districts. They can take a census block and move it to a different district to see how the
population numbers change and whether that makes the district more or less equal. Mr.
O'Halloran presented a census block map to show them how he had to split some of the census
blocks to assign them to their appropriate district. He also did a software demonstration and
explained that he can add or remove any of the data layers in the program to customize the map
the way the board would like to view it.
Mayor Vandergrift inquired if the program being presented tonight was something the board
members could access in their home so they could play around with the numbers. GIS Analyst
O'Halloran stated he will look into that possibility advise them at the next meeting. City
Attorney Rosenthal advised the board members that they could always set up a meeting
individually with Mr. O'Halloran to come to city hall if the program is not available.
Member Dabbs inquired as to what "unassigned" meant on the map. Mr. O'Halloran
explained that he has manually assigned all the areas in our city and that there are some
unincorporated orange county areas which still read "unassigned" because it is not in the city.
City Clerk Eikenberry advised the board that if they look at the numbers they will notice that
Districts 1 and 3 have more than the ideal population and District 2 and 4 have less than the ideal
population. She further explained that she and Mr. O'Halloran looked at those numbers when
they played around with the software. The deviation is so small that they were looking for
small areas to move around so it does not skew the numbers in the opposite direction. City
Clerk Eikenberry stated one of the options they came up with was moving Ingram Estates out
of District 1 and into District 4. City Attorney Rosenthal stated one other factor they can
consider is looking at where growth is going to occur over the next five years. He added that
there are approved subdivisions within the city that have 0 or small populations where building
permits are being pulled and those are numbers that will not be in the census. City Clerk
Eikenberry stated in 2007 they deliberately left District 1 underneath the ideal population
because the Planning Department gave them figures that showed the population would change.
Currently that district has the highest deviation over ideal population. Member Dabbs inquired
if the Planning Department would be able to tell them where there are approved subdivisions.
City Clerk Eikenberry stated she can provide that information to them.
Member Adams inquired if they could get something that would show each census block
throughout the city. He added that the program Mr. O'Halloran is presenting is a really good
tool but they do not have access to that. He further inquired if the census blocks would show
the subdivisions that are authorized for development. City Clerk Eikenberry stated that the
census blocks would only account for the people that were present at the time it was counted.
They have to figure out what has happened since then and what might happen in the next five
3
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
July 6, 2011
years until their next districting committee. GIS Analyst O'Halloran demonstrated how his
software program can add a layer and show new residential area projects within the city.
Member Adams inquired if there were anticipated density to go along with the various colored
developments on the map. GIS Analyst O'Halloran stated he cannot show density but he can
show the total lots planned in each development. City Attorney Rosenthal stated that there is
an average number for persons per household so they can use that information along with the
number of lots. Mr. O'Halloran stated he believes it is 3 persons per single family residence
and 3.2 persons for multi - family residence but he can bring that information to the next meeting.
Member Adams commented that it seems a lot of information is being scattered around in
different places and he was wondering if they could gather all that information so they can do
what is needed for them to do. The board members requested a print out of the map with the
census block numbers. City Attorney Rosenthal inquired if the state has a program on -line
with the census block information. GIS Analyst O'Halloran stated he believes Beverly Willis
with the Supervisor of Elections Office has mentioned such a website. City Clerk Eikenberry
informed the board members that the only problem with using the State's website is that it will
not reflect the district boundaries in Ocoee.
Member Chinelly inquired if there is vacancy information at the time of the census with the
number of homes that were not occupied. He further stated it would be the flip side of the
growth question where this would show the areas of the city already built but vacant. It could
r help show what the total population of the city would be if the economy was not turned around.
Mr. O'Halloran stated he does that have that information. Member Laney stated the HOA
would normally know which houses are vacant in their neighborhoods. Mr. O'Halloran inquired
if he is looking for this information on new development where only a few people have moved in
or is he looking for this information on established housing subdivision where there are a number
of foreclosures and people have moved out. Member Adam stated that if they use the same
logic that they used when they projected the growth in the city such as using the number that is
authorized and zoned for the area and the average amount of people per dwelling then they
should derive at a number. City Clerk Eikenberry stated that is a situation that will arise in
several parts in the city and they will just have to get the best numbers that they can to make
estimates. City Attorney Rosenthal stated it is be easier to get macro information as opposed
to micro information because it the totality of a district as opposed to an individual subdivision.
At the last districting committee they tried to have some districts over and some under as
opposed as trying to get zero deviation based on just projections. Further discussion ensued
regarding vacancy in subdivisions. City Attorney Rosenthal advised that they could have a
representative from the Planning Department speak with the board regarding the general terms
and trends regarding vacancies in developments.
Mayor Vandergrift addressed the board and briefly gave background information on how this
committee was created. He also thanked all the members for volunteering to serve on the
board.

err, UPDATES SINCE THE LAST MEETING — MAPS OF THE FOUR BOARD PLANS
GIS Analyst O'Halloran said most of what he has in his PowerPoint presentation tonight are
updates from the last meeting which includes the various board plans they created. GIS
Analyst O'Halloran briefly explained each individual board plan that resulted in the following
deviations from ideal population in each of the four districts:
Board Plan 1 Board Plan 2
District 1: -0.75 District 1: 2.68
District 2: -0.24 District 2: 4.04
District 3: 1.04 District 3: -3.83
District 4: -0.40 District 4: -2.89
Board Plan 3 Board Plan 4
District 1: 0.19 District 1: 0.17
District 2: 4.04 District 2: -1.17
District 3: -3.83 District 3: 1.39
District 4: -0.40 District 4: -0.40
Chairman Dabbs inquired if Board Plan 4 moves Prima Vista into District 2. GIS Analyst
O'Halloran explained that Board Plan 4 does not affect Prima Vista. Board Plan 4 would
`r• move District 2 up to Mack Street so not to split up the subdivision and also incorporates Ingram
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
August 3, 2011
Estates into District 4. GIS Analyst O'Halloran further provided a bar graph to show the shift
in deviations and also explained the highlighted areas of change. Member Butler inquired as
to which plans affect the Maine Street area. GIS Analyst O'Halloran said that both Plans 2
and 3 would apply to the Maine Street area. Chairman Dabbs stated he likes the different
district boundary moves but he likes the deviations to Board Plan 4 better than any of the others.
Member Butler inquired if at any point could they eliminate a plan. Some of the plans are very
similar and she was wondering if they could narrow it down since they are on a time frame.
Member Chinelly stated he would suggest in terms of process that they would come up with as
many possibilities as they could discuss and then decide as a commission what their preferred
plan would be after input from the Public Hearing. He further states that he feels they are still
in the process of building and tweaking. Chairman Dabbs inquired from the member's as to
what their intention is for the Public Hearing. Member Adams stated he would think that they
as a board would narrow it down and then identify that map which would affect those residents
and call those residents to the Public Hearing. Member Butler inquired if they are still looking
to have the Public Hearing on August 30` City Clerk Eikenberry said it depends on whether
they are trying to tie this into the 2012 election or continue meeting and not be prepared to
change the numbers until the next election. Chairman Dabbs inquired as to which of the plans
would/would not be ready for the 2012 election. City Clerk Eikenberry said any of the plans
could be ready on time and would work for the 2012 election as long as they stick to the noted
timeline and produce numbers that are better than the existing numbers. If they need more time to
consider other options, then they probably would not be able to make the tight timeline for the
2012 election. Chairman Dabbs inquired as to how much wiggle room they would have if
*r they present a plan and the Commission is not happy with it. City Attorney Rosenthal stated
that part of the wiggle room is that no one knows when the 2012 municipal election is going to
be because it is tied to the presidential preference primary (PPP). The legislature does not have
a time set for the PPP as of yet. City Clerk Eikenberry added that a committee that was
formed at the federal level has until October 1, 2011 to provide a date for the PPP. Chairman
Dabbs said he heard recently that they may set the PPP election date in January.
City Attorney Rosenthal stated that the key provision here is the charter provision which states
that you cannot change districts within 90 days prior to a municipal election. He further said the
good news is that the existing districts are in compliance even with the 2010 census so there are
no legal issues to the city. Member Chinelly said in his experience with Public Hearings, he
would suggest they show and display what they have gone through and then show the preferred
plan. It would be helpful in that they can demonstrate the various pieces of the puzzle that they
have looked at with data to support it. City Attorney Rosenthal clarified that he and City
Clerk Eikenberry found the Charter provision and it states that they cannot change districts
within 4 months prior to a municipal election. If we follow the timeline for adoption of the
ordinance and the PPP is at the end of January or later, we would still make the deadline in time
for the 2012 %lbw

City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
August 3, 2011
SPLIT CENSUS BLOCK INFORMATION FOR GENEVA STREET AREA
Member Chinelly stated in addition to the four board plans he would also like to see the census
block split for Geneva Street as well. Board members gathered around the large Board Plans on
display to discuss the four current plans.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran presented the Geneva Street split and how he cut the census block.
Member Butler inquired if Mr. O'Halloran could add the Geneva split to Board Plan 3 so they
can see how the deviation changes. GIS Analyst O'Halloran said with the changes to Board
Plan 3 as Member Butler suggested, Districts 2 and 3 have a little bit of a change. District 2's
deviation is now 3.57 and District 3's deviation is now -3.37.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran continued with his PowerPoint Presentation showing the population
density map and population by race and ethnic group pie chart. A brief discussion ensued
regarding one of the plans that would have the district line going down the 429 verses Fuller's
Cross Road and if they would like to keep it that way. Consensus was to keep it down the 429.
Member Butler inquired if they could save the Geneva Street split plan as Board Plan 5.
Chairman Dabbs said they have had a chance to review all four plans and see the map for the
2007 re- districting; he further clarified that they are now creating an additional plan. City
Attorney Rosenthal said that they would have to make a motion to add Board Plan 5.
Member Butler, seconded by Member Adams, moved to save Board Plan 5(see attachment).
Motion carried unanimously.
Member Adams inquired if the numbers on the bottom of the projection screen are the actual
numbers for Board Plan 5. GIS Analyst O'Halloran said that was correct. He further said that
the Geneva Street split continues on past the cemetery in a straight line. Member Chinelly
inquired if he had the numbers for the 2007 District Final Map, in terms of population. He
further inquired if they can bring annual Ocoee population numbers to the next meeting. City
Clerk Eikenberry said that would be the information they get from BEBR and they can provide
that. GIS Analyst O'Halloran said he believes he showed that information in one of his
previous presentations and he will look for it and bring to the next meeting.
Chairman Dabbs said the next meeting is August 24` and they just made an addition to their
options so he further inquired if they are looking to eliminate any plans tonight and how soon do
they feel like they will be ready to come up with a final plan. Member Butler inquired if they
are taking one plan to the Public Hearing or will they present options. Chairman Dabbs said it
was his understanding they would take one preferred plan with explanations of what they went
through with the different board plans. Member Adams clarified that they would have the five
board plans available at the Public Hearing but they would also have the preferred plan that they
recommend. Chairman Dabbs answered affirmatively. City Attorney Rosenthal inquired if
they would like staff at the public hearing to give an explanation of all five plans or do they want
to narrow it since some of these plans are essentially the same. Chairman Dabbs inquired if
they are going to only invite people who are affected by the changes. City Clerk Eikenberry
% stated they can put an advertisement out to inform everyone but if there is a certain area that is
3
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
August 3, 2011
11160 going to really be affected then they may want to make sure to inform those residents. Member
Chinelly stated he would recommend, based on similarities, that they make some decisions and
reduce the number of plans. He further said he would use the term "preferred plan" rather than
"recommended plan" for the Public Hearing because ultimately they will be recommending to the
City Commission based on public input. Member Chinelly inquired if the city had a format for
the public hearing or is it something they just put together. City Attorney Rosenthal said the
board can run the public hearing as they chose. He briefly gave them suggestions on how they
could proceed with the public hearing. Member Butler clarified that if they have a preferred
plan and the residents agree, than they can decide that night to make that plan a recommendation
before the Commission. Chairman Dabbs expressed his concerns with presenting five plans
and agrees with Member Chinelly that they should break it down to fewer plans. A brief
discussion ensued on how they would be sending out publication and notices regarding the public
hearing.
Member Adams inquired about board Plan 5 and also commented that he would like to be able
to identify the number that represents percentage deviations and he feels the bar graph was the
most clear in showing that information.
Board Plan 5
District 1 0.19
District 2 3.57
District 3 -3.38
District 4 -0.40
Member Chinelly said he would suggest Board Plan 5 take the place of Board Plans 2 and 3 and
that they eliminate those two board plans.
Member Chinelly, seconded by Member Butler, moved to eliminate Board Plans 2 and 3 due to
the creation of Board Plan 5 and its similarities. Motion carried unanimously.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran said that one of their options when they get to the public hearing can
be the status quo. City Attorney Rosenthal said that they would present what the existing
districts are currently and they will also keep the board plans numbering the same. City Clerk
Eikenberry inquired if they would like to consider Board Plans 1 and 4 the same. The
difference between the two plans is the split in the trailer park area.
Member Butler, seconded by Chairman Dabbs, moved to eliminate Board Plan 1.
Member Butler explained that Board Plan 1 was the first plan they created when they were just
getting used to working with the software in moving the census blocks. The change that they
made to create Board Plan 4 was for the better in not splitting Security Circle. Deviation
numbers are also very similar and she does not feel they will lose a whole lot in eliminating that
plan. Member Chinelly said that he wanted to point out that of those two plans if they look
strictly at deviations, the better of the two is plan 1 but the other consideration is it does split the
subdivision which they would prefer not to do. Member Butler commented that she is very
4

August 3, 2011
familiar with that neighborhood and it is a very tightly knit neighborhood and she just thinks
splitting it would not be a good idea. Member Chinelly inquired if he could suggest they move
the boundary line to include more of that subdivision into District 2. Discussion ensued
regarding moving the boundary from the Mack Street boundary up to the property line behind
Mobile Lane. Further discussion ensued regarding moving the boundary line from Lakewood
Avenue over to Lyman Avenue. City Attorney Rosenthal reminded the board these changes
would be for a potential additional board plan. Chairman Dabbs inquired if they were ready to
vote. Member Butler said she does not think she is ready to vote.
City Clerk Eikenberry suggested they tray taking Mobile Park out of District 2 and put it back
into District 1 and then take the boundary line over to the west. Chairman Dabbs inquired if
they affect a Hispanic community would they have to explain any of the changes to them in
Spanish. City Attorney Rosenthal said they would not be required.
VOTE: Motion on the floor to eliminate Board Plan 1 was defeated 0 -4, with all members
opposing.
Member Butler, seconded bv Member Chinelly, moved to save Board Plan 6 (see attachment).
Motion carried unanimously.
Board Plan 6
District 1 0.16
District 2 0.34
District 3 -0.13
District 4 -0.40
Member Butler, seconded bv Member Adams, moved to eliminate Board Plans 1 and 4 due to
the creation of Board Plan 6 and its similarities. Motion carried unanimously.
City Attorney Rosenthal clarified that at the next meeting before the public hearing the board
would pick the preferred plan from the two they have created. Chairman Dabbs said that is his
understanding. Member Butler inquired if Board Plans 5 and 6 could be e- mailed to them.
City Clerk Eikenberry commented that the board plans will also be on the city's website and
she will notify the members when it is up so that they may review it.
Chairman Dabbs said he would try to come in and meet with Mr. O'Halloran to review both
plans 5 and 6.

MINUTES OF THE CITY OF OCOEE DISTRICTING COMMISSION MEETING
HELD AUGUST 24, 2011
CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Dabbs called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. in the Commission Chambers. He
then led in prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. The roll was called and a quorum declared
present.
PRESENT
Chairman Dabbs, Vice Chair Laney, Members Adams, and Chinelly were present. Also present
were City Attorney Rosenthal, Staff GIS Analyst O'Halloran, City Clerk Eikenberry and Deputy
City Clerk Sibbitt.
ABSENT
Member Butler was absent excused.
GUEST
Brenda Ingle, Mapping Assistant at Supervisor of Elections Office.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR AUGUST 3, 2011
Member Adams, seconded by Vice Chair Laney, moved to approve the regular minutes of
August 3, 2011. Motion carried unanimously.
UPDATES SINCE THE LAST MEETING
GIS Analyst O'Halloran said that one of the items they asked for at the last meeting was to look
at the results of the districting that they did after the 2007 re- districting. Using the exhibits, he
briefly explained the changes that were made. Member Chinelly inquired if the population
figures for the 2007 action were from the 2000 census since that is what is listed as the source.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran said the information was built in 2007 by taking the 2000 census data
and adding in building permits. Mr. O'Halloran said it is similar to what they are doing this
time. Member Chinelly inquired if the population included the known occupied buildings in
the city. Mr. 0' Halloran clarified that it was based on certificate of occupancy and not
building permits. City Attorney Rosenthal said the 2007 Re- Districting Board used an
educated estimate since the census is the only true count and at the time it was not a re- districting
based on the census count. Member Adams said in retrospect to what Mr. Rosenthal just
shared, how close was the educated estimate to the actual population. GIS Analyst
O'Halloran said they were fairly close to the 2007 BEBR numbers. City Clerk Eikenberry
explained that a handout was provided to show annual population figures from the University of
Florida, Bureau of Economics and Business Research (BEBR) from 2007 -2011, as requested by
the board. For 2007 it shows the population at 33,533 and the City Planner's corrected estimate
at 33,837; the population used for the Districting Commission later that year was figured at
34,285 by Mr. O'Halloran. Member Chinelly thanked the staff for providing the information;
he said it was very useful to determine the rate of growth which has slowed considerably with
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
August 24, 2011
only 1300 additional people since 2007. City Attorney Rosenthal stated the Ocoee Charter is
different from most municipalities in that regard; we have a Districting Commission that meets
midway between the ten -year Censuses and it allows the Commission to redistrict earlier or at
any time they feel it is necessary. Most cities and governmental bodies redistrict once every ten
years with the release of the Census figures.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran continued with his presentation stating that the largest percentage
deviation today is 3.98 and the lowest is -2.88. For the two new plans, Board Plan 5 has the
largest deviation at 3.58 and lowest at -3.37. Board Plan 6 the largest deviation is 0.35 and lowest
is -0.40. Mr. O'Halloran further showed a bar graph for visual purposes. He said if he
understands correctly Board Plan 5 is for the purpose of accounting for future population growth
and Board Plan 6 is straight population.
The Chairman opened the floor for discussion and said that his opinion is that Board Plan 6 is the
most evenly balanced by deviation but how important is it to the rest of the board. Member
Adams referenced Board Plan 5 and inquired if that was the subdivision in which Chairman
Dabbs resided. He asked if he has an opinion about how the residents in Prima Vista feel about
switching commissioners. Chairman Dabbs answered that it really does not matter to him
personally, but to answer his question, he has not polled the subdivision. The chairman said he
is hoping that notices would go to the residents in that subdivision so they can show up at the
Public Hearing on August 30 Member Adams said listening to the attorney they do not need
to take into consideration the five year projection but he feels they would be almost remiss if they
did not look at future growth. Mr. Adams further added that when you look at Board Plan 5
the numbers almost look glaring in terms of deviation percentage but overtime he feels it may
even out. He further inquired about District 4 and if it was a candidate for potential growth.
The board briefly reviewed and spoke about the planned residential projects list which had been
previously provided to them by Mr. O'Halloran.
FINALIZING OF BOARD PLAN(S)
After reviewing the planned residential projects list, the board members gathered in front of the
dais to view the larger maps of preferred plans 5 and 6 to discuss the boundary changes. There
was discussion among the group as to how to expand the population in District 2 since it is
essentially built out. City Attorney Rosenthal advised that if they wanted to put growth into
District 2, there is a piece of land on Maine Street that is R -1AAA. There has been talk
amongst the Planning Department regarding a possible high rise but it may not be developed
within the five years. The property is currently vacant and would not affect the current
deviation numbers presented. Member Chinelly inquired as to what the duration would be for
the proposed development for that land. City Attorney Rosenthal said if a developer walked
in today to build a high rise, it would probably take a couple of years. Discussion ensued
regarding whether or not the old Colony Plaza location and Health Central will have residential
growth. After discussion, the chairman inquired what the pleasure of the board was.
Vice Chair Laney, seconded by Member Adams, moved to include the parcel north of Maine
Street and east of Chicago Avenue right -of -way, to both Board Plans, thus creating a Revised
Board Plan 5 and 6 (see attachment). Motion carried unanimously.
2
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
August 24, 2011
Chairman Dabbs inquired if they have a motion as to what plan they want to submit as a
preferred plan.
Vice Chair Laney, seconded by Member Adams, moved to present Revised Board Plan 5 as
their preferred plan.
Member Chinelly said the only reservation he has on Board Plan 5 is that if they look back at
the 2007 redistricting action, they would be flip flopping a block of the city (that includes
Lakewood Manor). Mr. Chinelly said he was the one that proposed they move that block, but
after revisiting it the change they just adopted to add to both board plans, would give District 2
the growth it needs. He would be more inclined to support Revised Board Plan 6. Vice Chair
Laney said that in looking at Board Plan 5, the area being returned to District 3 does not have
much population in it and there was no population there during the move in 2007. She does not
feel there will be anyone in that area objecting to being moved. A brief discussion ensued
regarding how many residents would be affected by the change to District 3 moving the boundary
line up to Fullers Cross Road and down the 429. City Clerk Eikenberry said the other thing
they may want to consider with the moving that boundary line north is the compactness of
District 3 which would really stretch that district out north to south. Chairman Dabbs said he
also agrees and was going to comment on that same issue. He further said since there is not a
lot of population in that area he would have no problem with moving that boundary line back to
District 1 to shorten the long District 3. GIS Analyst O'Halloran said there is population in that
block. Mr. 0' Halloran further added that it shows 114 people who would most likely come
from the Lakewood Manor subdivision. There was discussion that in 2007, when they had the
last redistricting, those houses were not there and possibly not even there for the last Commission
election; this was a Homes in Partnership development that was fairly new. Member Chinelly
said his question has been clarified in that he did not want to take the same residents and move
them back and forth between districts. It has been shown that within the last redistricting,
Lakewood Manor did not exist, so residents will not be affected twice.
Chairman Dabbs asked the Clerk to restate the motion on the floor:
"Motion to approve revised Board Plan 5 as the preferred Plan of the Districting Commission."
After the discussion, motion carried 5 -0.
Vice Chair Laney — Briefing on County Commission Redistricting Meeting.
Vice Chair Laney gave a summary of how the meeting was handled at the County level. She
said that one of the things she did like about the county's public hearing was the idea of having
the comments about the specific maps, as well as, at the end of the meeting they also allowed
public input before adjourning. Further discussion ensued regarding the county's redistricting
meeting. She stated much of the discussion was the splitting up of West Orange cities and the
possibility of splitting Ocoee into more than one Commission District.
DISCUSSION ON PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 30, 2011
Chairman Dabbs inquired if there was an order of business for public hearings that they should
adhere too. Vice Chair Laney inquired if at this point she could give a report on what
happened at the county's redistricting hearing. Ms. Laney commented that the County's
3
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
August 24, 2011
Redistricting Board had thirteen members who provided 9 different proposals. She further
added that they also had public proposals which Ocoee has not received any at this time. The
county structured their meeting with old business than allowed for comments. Comments were
no more than 3 minutes long after each presentation, as well as, at the end of the meeting. She
briefly explained the interest the county's redistricting board had in splitting Ocoee.
Vice Chair Laney said that for this board's agenda they should have the following:
I. CALL TO ORDER
Invocation, Pledge, and Roll CaII and Determination of a Quorum
II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF AUGUST 24, 2011
III. OLD BUSINESS
1. GIS Analyst 0' Halloran to present data related to the maps and how
they chose Revised Board Plans 5 and 6.
IV. NEW BUSINESS
1. Public Hearing - Public Comments for Revised Board Plans 5 & 6
2. Motion by board on preferred plan
V. Adjourn
Chairman Dabbs inquired as to how widely publicized do they expect this meeting to be and if
there was notice prepared for the West Orange Times. City Clerk Eikenberry said it is in the
water bills, on the city's website, and they will be targeting individual homes in affected
subdivisions with door hangers. The West Orange Times also did a write up on the board in
addition to the ad that was placed announcing the public hearing. The City Clerk announced, in
regard to the earlier question, it appears the last county redistricting will be in September because
there are none scheduled for October. She announced the upcoming county and school board
redistricting board dates for those interested in attending. There was further discussion about
the County Districting meetings and the apparent intent of some of the Commissioners. GIS
Analyst 0' Halloran inquired if they should present Board Plans 1 -4 or even mention them.
Vice Chair Laney said she believes it should just be Revised Board Plans 5 and 6 that they
present since they voted to eliminate the others. Chairman Dabbs said Mr. O'Halloran should
make mention that they have looked at four plans but they were very similar, hence the reason for
elimination. The Chairman did not believe there should be any display of the other plans. The
Board consented. Vice Chair Laney suggested along with the two revised board plans they
should also display the census map with no changes and current deviations.
DISCUSSION REGARDING DISTRICTING COMMISSION REPORT THAT IS DUE
TO THE CITY COMMISSION •
City Attorney Rosenthal suggested a packet with just the minutes and recommendation should
be sufficient and would meet the requirement of the Charter. Minutes should be detailed with
what the discussions were and the board's final motion will be the recommendation.
Assistant City Manager Shadrix, who was in City Hall, was invited to briefly comment about
the county's redistricting meeting which he also attended. He briefly advised the board of the
4
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Meeting
August 24, 2011
concerns he expressed at that meeting. He said waited until the end of the meeting to express
the concerns of the City Commission in keeping the city whole with neighboring West Orange
cities such as Winter Garden, Windermere, etc. Those concerns echoed very clearly with what
many other West Orange cities represented there. He said there was a representative, Doug Head,
from Hunter's Creek who took several shots at Ocoee and stated that Ocoee had urban sprawl.
He added there are a lot of political agendas being played out and he tried to stay clear of that. He
said that none of the maps shown at the meeting were in conflict with the Commission's
concerns so he did not address individual maps. Mr. Shadrix agreed with Ms. Laney that we
need to maintain vigilance on this because there is a major effort underway to take Ocoee out of
District 1.
Vice Chair Laney, seconded by Member Chinelly, moved to adopt the report format
recommended by the City Attorney. Motion carried unanimously.

MINUTES OF THE CITY OF OCOEE DISTRICTING COMMISSION
PUBLIC HEARING HELD AUGUST 30, 2011
CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Dabbs called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. in the Commission Chambers. He
then led in prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. The roll was called and a quorum declared
present.
PRESENT
Chairman Dabbs, Vice Chair Laney, Members Butler, and Chinelly were present. Also present
were City Attorney Rosenthal, Staff GIS Analyst O'Halloran, City Clerk Eikenberry and Deputy
City Clerk Sibbitt.
ABSENT
Member Adams was absent.
GUEST
Also present were Mayor Vandergrift, Commissioner Hood, Commissioner Wilsen,
Commissioner Johnson, Commissioner Keller, and Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR AUGUST 24, 2011
Vice Chair Laney, seconded by Member Chine11v, moved to approve the regular minutes of
August 24, 2011. Motion carried unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS
PRESENTATION OF DATA RELATED TO THE MAPS AND THE PROCESS BY WHICH THE
DISTRICTING COMMISSION SELECTED REVISED BOARD PLANS 5 & 6 — GIS ANALYST
O'HALLORAN
GIS Analyst O'Halloran gave a PowerPoint presentation regarding what went into the board
plans. His PowerPoint presentation covered the revised board plans 5 & 6, as well as,
explanation on the process of eliminating board plans 1 -4 due to similarities. Further
explanation was given on the charter requirement, which was the reason the committee was
formed, as well as, the 2010 census numbers and the splitting of census blocks among more than
one district (i.e. a district boundary line going through a census block would require that census
block to be split). Information was also provided showing the comparison of the 2007
commission district population with the 2010 commission district population, race and ethnic
groups within the districts, foreclosures for 2007 and 2010, and planned residential projects.
Chairman Dabbs briefly interrupted GIS Analyst O'Halloran to welcome the Mayor,
Commissioner Hood, Commissioner Wilsen, Commissioner Johnson, Commissioner Keller, and
Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles, as guests before the board.
City of Ocoee Districting Commission Public Hearing
August 30, 2011
GIS Analyst O'Halloran provided commission district population and deviation % numbers for
the existing population and for the two revised board plans; all plans were within the allowed 5%
deviation. He ended his presentation by showing an aerial photograph of each location being
affected by the boundary changes, proposed by the board, for revised board plan 5 and 6.
riRVIA . ; , . ,+ Yt r B oard- -Plan 5 Boar 1, a
District 1 3.96 0.19 0.17
District 2 -2.45 3.58 0.35
District 3 1.39 -3.37 -0.13
District 4 -2.88 -0.40 -0.40
Chairman Dabbs thanked GIS Analyst O'Halloran for his presentation and explained that the
board started with no preconceived end in mind and had asked staff for a lot of data, which they
provided. The board looked at as many as six plans and found that some were similar, so after
much discussion and debate, they came up with the two revised board plans. The chairman
stated his personal choice would have been revised board plan 6 because of the deviations but
both plans have a deviation below 5% so either plan is acceptable. He further thanked the city
attorney for steering them through the redistricting process.
PUBLIC HEARING — COMMENTS FOR REVISED BOARD PLAN 5 & 6
The public hearing was opened.
Commissioner Keller inquired if he could comment since more than one commissioner was
present. City Attorney Rosenthal said he did not think about the commission all being their
tonight and they did not notice the meeting as a joint meeting; the report from tonight's meeting
will be presented to the commission for action. City Clerk Eikenberry advised the City
Attorney that the agenda posted did note that one or more commissioners will be present. City
Attorney Rosenthal clarified since the agenda was noted correctly than the commission is
invited to speak.
Commissioner Hood thanked the board for their sacrifices by taking time away from their loved
ones to meet and volunteer for this board. He said he served on the redistricting board many
years ago so he knows they had excellent help from the city and that staff does an outstanding
job, as they have done each year. He further said he knows this was not an easy task and he
does not like to lose anyone from his district but the city is growing and he knows the board had
to do what was needed to make the numbers work. Commissioner Hood said he would go
back to look at the plans and study it more. Chairman Dabbs added that they tried not to look at
personality but just numbers when they looked at the boundary changes.
Commissioner Wilsen said she too served on the redistricting board many years no and enjoyed
it so she hopes they did as well. She further commented that it was fascinating to see that
District 2 was the smallest with growth coming forward. She is happy seeing what they have
done with allowing District 2 to gain. Commissioner Wilsen thanked the board for their hard

work and further said she appreciates their time. Chairman Dabbs again commented that he
realizes that the commissioners are possessive of the residents in their district which is why they
only looked at the numbers. He further added that they were charged with making the city in
compliance with low deviations and they gave it their best shot which is how they carne up with
their preferred plan. Commissioner Wilsen added that she is very pleased that they looked at
her district.
Commissioner Johnson said he has been through this process but never formally served on a
redistricting board. He further said that one of the reasons they look at the districts is because
of what the county tells them with regards to the districting process. Commissio Johnson
said what he looks at is what they do with the numbers. He said he knows they are all
volunteers and are up there doing their job for the better purpose of the city. If they look at
board plan 5 and board plan 6 and see the numbers they can tell which one stands out. The
range deviation is 5% but the purpose is to have the numbers leveled out. If they look at board
plan 5 the numbers are completely screwed up where board plan 6 is more overall even
throughout the city. Commissioner Johnson said if they are going to make changes they
should do it where it evens out. He added that he looked at a couple of things himself and in
District 2 they do not have some of the growth that is going to happen on Clarke Road such as
the retirement home that is being built on that road. He further added there are a couple of
projects missing from his district which he does not even know when it will happen.
Commissioner Johnson said when votes at the commission meeting he will vote for board plan
6 because board plan 5 is way off. He added that he appreciates any one that volunteers in the
city but he was told when they were doing the districting it was mainly to get the numbers near
the same. If they look at the two plans, board plan 6 is more in order with having the districts
the same. Chairman Dabbs thanked Commissioner Johnson for his comments and added that
in defense of their efforts they were attempting to look at future growth. Commissioner
Johnson said it does not matter what was put on paper, the growth that is being anticipated will
not be happening any time soon. He again commented that there is a project on C 1 rke Road
that does not even show as projected growth. Commissioner Johnson said it all comes down
to what they vote at during the commission meeting anyways.
Commissioner Keller also thanked the board for all their time and efforts into this board. He
further said he also appreciated what they did with board plans 5 and 6 because he shows they
were really concerned about the city since they presented two very different plans. Board plan 5
allows for growth 3 -5 years out also allowing for the numbers to be somewhat equal in the future.
Board plan 6 shows what is will make the numbers even now and allows for them to make
changes during the next census. Commissioner Keller said he may have to sit down and think
the plans over. His gut feeling would be to try to keep the districts as even as possible but he
does remember at the last redistricting he lost part of his district because District 2 had no growth
pattern until Rose Hill came along. He believes that there are talks that the other part of Rose
Hill may want to come into the city but of course that is not anything they can count on. He
again thanked the board for the two plans options.

Chairman Dabbs said he appreciated the opportunity to serve on this board and knew they
would not be able to satisfy everyone. He added that he did not receive but one phone call
about his subdivision moving from District 3 to District 2.
The public hearing was closed.
MOTION TO PRESENT THE DISTRICTING COMMISSION RECOMI\IENDATION
TO THE CITY COMMISSION ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2011 AGENDA
City Attorney Rosenthal advised that at the last meeting they only had a recommendation of a
preferred plan which was to be presented before tonight's hearing. It would then be appropriate
following the public hearing for the board to have a motion with the specific plan fur with the
Districting Commission is recommending to the City Commission.
Vice Chair Laney, seconded by Member Chinellv, moved to recommend to the City Commission
the revised Board Plan S.
Member Chinelly asked the chairman if they could have a discussion to give clarity regarding
the basis for the board plan recommendation. He further said they were looking at ensuring the
integrity of each of the neighborhoods in the community and in doing so they did not want to
split up any neighborhoods. That is what defined the numbers that were involved in the changes
to the districts. The question came into play because if they look at the current deviations
between districts they did not want to be in a position 5 years from now where they would be
greater than 5 %. He further explained the magnitude of the difference between the districts was
taking into account the change in population from 2007 (pop. 34,300) to today (pop. 35,600) and
the gaining of 1,300 residents. Member Chinelly said they are not expecting a large magnitude
of growth so he did not rely on the numbers for the projected buildings underway but more or
less on the macro view of what they can expect during that time so they would n.)t be over the
5% deviations.
Vice Chair Laney said she does recall that they did talk about the new senior housing being built
on Clarke Road as well as the new senior housing proposed for the Maine Strc.t area. That
discussion regarding the senior housing is one reason they drew the line the w<<y they did; to
account for that future growth. They did not want to move citizens from one district to another
every 5 years so they planned for future growth to allow residents to stay in the saute district.
After the discussion, motion carried unanimously.
City Attorney Rosenthal advised that now the board will need to formalize a report to the City
Commission and at the last meeting they spoke about that report basically being the package of
minutes with the recommended maps. He further said he is recommending t: cy adopt the
minutes of the districting commission and the maps, along with their recommendation, as the
official report to the City Commission and direct the clerk to forward that to the co : .mission.

August 30, 2011
Vice Chair Laney, seconded by Member Butler, moved to present to the City Commission a
packet with the minutes, preferred maps, and the board's recommendation. Motion carried
unanimously.
GIS Analyst O'Halloran inquired as to how the packet would be presented to the City
Commission and if the Districting Commission or staff would need to be present. City
Attorney Rosenthal said that City Clerk Eikenberry would be coordinating the specific agenda.
City Clerk Eikenberry advised that she is trying to get it onto the next Commission meeting
which is September 6 City Attorney Rosenthal said he believes in the past, the chairman of
the Districting Commission would be the one to actually present the report to the commission.
He further added all the members of the City Commission were present in the audience tonight
so unless they want a full repeat of the presentation, it should not be needed. Commissioner
Hood inquired if he could have a copy of the PowerPoint slide so he may look at it. City Clerk
Eikenberry said she can make it part of the agenda packet. Chairman Dabbs announced he
would not be in town on September 6th and hopes that Vice Cahir Laney could be present at the
Commission meeting. Vice Chair Laney said she also is scheduled to be out of town but her
plans may not work out. City Attorney Rosenthal said the issue is that no one knows when
they the presidential election is going to be. He further said the only thing that will happen
doing the Commission meeting is a formal presentation of the report to the City Commission.
Under the charter, once the report is presented the City Commission than has two months from
the receipt of the report of which to accept, reject, or take other appropriate action with respect to
the recommendations of the Districting Commission. He recalls one instance in the past when
they referred the report back to the Districting Commission and the Districting Commi .lion than
reconvened. City Attorney Rosenthal said if they take action within those two m( aths they
would then put together the appropriate ordinance which would go through the normal process
and be scheduled for a public hearing for adoption. The schedule of the public hearing on the
proposed plan is really going to be dictated by when the City Commission acts, in whit!. they can
act when the report is presented to them, but they are not obligated too. City Clerk Li :enberry
advised that Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles shared with her that they are betting heavily on
Thursday, March 1 being the presidential preference. City Attorney Rosenthal said another
alternative if no one from the board can be present at the meeting is to have the report delivered
to the City Commission which would start the clock running. That can be one 1-2. fore the
September 6 meeting and then they can schedule on another agenda, the aprearar;e by the
Districting Commission before the City Commission. Vice Chair Laney inquired if could
put it on the September 20 agenda if they wanted too. City Attorney Rosenthal inqu :ed from
City Clerk Eikenberry if presenting the report on September 20 would meet the time ne. City
Clerk Eikenberry said it would give them a little bit of time. City Attorney 1 osenthal
reminded the board that the charter basically provided that the district boundaries c mnot be
changed less than 4 months prior to regular municipal election. Ile said if the presidential
election is scheduled for March 1 than by November 1 the City Commission wc have
needed to act. The effect of them not having reached a decision by November I'' wou' 1 be that
the 2012 elections would occur based on the existing districts and the boundary moves v hen than
occur after the election. City Clerk Eikenberry advised that they can put the rep( t on the
September 6 agenda since the Commission has heard the presentation. It will allow i .ore time
just in case the Commission wants to have a joint meeting or consider another bo Ord plan.

Member Butler agreed that they just need to get the report to the Commission as quickly as
possible. City Attorney Rosenthal suggested to the elected officials in the audience that if they
have any individual views on the agenda than they may communicate with the City Clerk on
what their preference would be.
