REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
A. CALL TO ORDER
Invocation — Commissioner Keller
Pledge of Allegiance — Ocoee Police Lt. Dreasher
Roll Call and Determination of Quorum — Acting City Clerk Sibbitt
L B. PRESENTATIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS
Presentation Regarding "All In Campaign"
Dick Batchelor gave a brief presentation regarding support of a resolution which would urge the
Florida Legislation to support local home -rule power over City -owned property, especially
public parks and other public places where children play. He acknowledged that the city has an
ordinance in place but he would like for the city to also entertain this resolution. Commissioner
Hood said he would like to see something like this get passed by all municipalities. Mayor Pro
Tem Wilsen inquired if Mr. Batchelor had the resolution with him because the commission has
not seen it. City Manager Frank said he believes the resolution was presented to them the first
time Mr. Batchelor sent his representative to speak before them. Mayor Pro Tem Wilsen said
she would like for this to be put on the next agenda so that they will have time to review the
resolution Mr. Batchelor is requesting their support on.
C. COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS/PUBLIC - None
D. STAFF REPORTS AND AGENDA REVIEW
City Manager Frank announced the following:
1) On the dais in front of them is the ordinance that pertains to no smoking at city parks if
someone from Mr. Batchelor's office does show up.
2) Several meetings ago the Districting Commission had presented their preferred board
plan 5 to the commission, which some on the commission did not think was the best plan.
There was also an alternate Board Plan 6 presented. The commission remanded the plans
back to staff to see if it needed to go back to the Districting Commission. City Manager
Frank said he had a chance to speak with each person on the commission and he believes
at this point it does not need to go back to the Districting Commission because he felt that
everyone was fairly comfortable with Board Plan 6. If the commission would like to
have a consensus or discussion tonight that would be helpful for staff so they can move
ahead. Commissioner Hood said he had no issues with Board Plan 6. Commissioner
Johnson and Commissioner Keller had no comments. Mayor Protem Wilsen said she
has no problems with either plans but she does have stronger feelings toward the board
plan submitted by the board. Commissioner Johnson commented that he is not in favor
of board plan 5 and feels Board Plan 6 is the better of the two. Mayor Protem Wilsen
said she was more in favor of Board Plan 5 because she feels that the Districting
Commission was looking toward the future balance in population. City Manager Frank
City Commission Regular
November 1, 2011
explained that Board Plan 6 kept each of the districts within a closer deviation. City
Attorney Rosenthal advised that this board plan discussion would not affect the
upcoming election. He further said the decision they make tonight would be to bring
back an ordinance so that there will be a public hearing before the commission. City
Attorney Rosenthal suggested that they make a consensus decision tonight on the Board
Plan 6 and then they can put this on the next agenda as a consent agenda item. This will
allow him to work with staff on the schedule to bring back an ordinance as a public
hearing. Consensus from the Commission is to put Board Plan 6 on the next
agenda so they may make a formal motion which would then allow staff to
work on formalizing an ordinance for the public hearing.
3) The 2011 Poker Run will be held this Saturday, November 5 and registration begins at
9:30 am. Cost will be $10 per participant and $5 for each additional hand. First 100

E. COMMISSIONERS ANNOUNCEMENTS
Commissioner Hood 1) None
Commissioner Keller - 1) inquired if the survey for Forest Oaks Subdivision has gone out. City
Manager Frank said it has and they did have a slight error on the zip code of the return address
for the survey's but that has been corrected. Assistant City Manager Shadrix said they are
apologetic for the error even happening. He further explained the surveys did go out last
Tuesday and the postcards advising of the correction on the zip code went out on Thursday of
last week as well. Mr. Shadrix said the surveys are being returned to them pretty rapidly and
based on the responses they have received it appears it is a good scatter pattern and not confined
to just one local. He further provided printout of past commission discussions relating to Rich
Drive and the Clerk distributed them for their review. Mayor Pro Tem Wilsen inquired as to
when the deadline is for the surveys to be returned. City Planner Rumer said the deadline is
November 23` which is the day before Thanksgiving. He further announced that they did
receive 10 more surveys today.

Following a stormwater site inspection by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the City was
required to upgrade the Public Works vehicle wash down facility to meet current industrial discharge mandates.
The upgraded facility was budgeted in the Stormwater program as its purpose is to provide treatment of the
water leaving the Public Works compound. The City Commission has allocated $95,000.00 for replacing the
vehicle wash facility. Due to additional DEP requirements that increased the total cost, Public Works is
requesting the $69,687.97 remaining from the Prima Vista Outfall Project be allocated to the wash facility to
adequately cover the costs. The purchase order for this work will be awarded through the City's Continuing
Services Contractors.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mavor Vandergrift being absent.

The Utilities Department utilizes liquid chlorine as its disinfecting agent in the treatment of its potable water
and wastewater. The department anticipates the purchase of 76,000 gallons of chlorine for water this fiscal year
for a total annual budgeted amount of $68,400.00. The department also anticipates the purchase of 63,875
gallons of chlorine for wastewater this fiscal year for a total annual budgeted amount of $57,500.00. Total
expenditures for the fiscal year should not exceed $125,900.00.
The City has been procuring chlorine from Odyssey Manufacturing, for which Odyssey has extended their
contract conditions (piggybacking) from their contract with Sarasota County, awarded March 23, 2011, by
Sarasota County Notice of Bid Award Bid No. 11 1333HR. Staff recommends the City of Ocoee accept the
terms of this contract, effective April 11, 2011, and valid for one year, with two one -year renewal periods for a
total of three years. Odyssey's contractual price with Sarasota County is $.70 per gallon, the same price the
City has been paying while piggybacking off of their contract with the City of Oviedo.
This Item was pulled from the Consent Agenda to be heard separately.
Commissioner Johnson inquired as to why this item is not put out to bid. He understands they
are piggybacking but what if they can get it cheaper. Utilities Director Smith explained that
there are two main vendors in the State that provide the bulk vendors and Odyssey is one of the
bulk vendors. He further said they are going with a bid that was recently done and awarded to
Odyssey which is why they are requesting to piggyback. Mr. Smith said they can try to redo it
and go out to bid since they may be able to get a cheaper price. Commissioner Johnson said if
there are two bulk vendors then they may be able to get one to bid cheaper. Utilities Director
Smith said if the commission would like for him to bid this out then he can. Commissioner
Johnson said he is speaking on his own behalf and not for the commission. City Manager
Frank explained that what they typically do with materials like this is find a larger county that
gets a bulk bid. They have done RFP's in the past but it is not typical to get a better price then
what a large county would. They do much better with piggybacking for these types of material,
City Manager Frank advised Commissioner Johnson that if he is not comfortable with this then
he could suggest since this is a one year contract with two one -year renewals, when one year is
up, if they feel we can get a better deal at that point we can go out to bid at that point. He
explained they do not have to renew it for two one -year periods.
Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Keller, moved for approval
for piggybacking on Sarasota County's contract for bulk sodium hvpochlorite for
a one year term with no renewals.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilsen inquired if they renew would they get the same price. City Manager
Frank said he is not sure what the exact wording on the contract says because it may have a cost
of living percentage with the renewals. City Attorney Rosenthal asked Commissioner Johnson
for clarification on his motion. He further inquired if he motion was for the contract that the city
signed be for one year without the option for renewals or is he requesting they have the option of
renewal. City Manager Frank advised that if they go out for bid to see the pricing that is out
there then they would just not renew this contract after the first year. He further said his
recommendation would be to approve this as presented before them tonight and if they do not get
a better bid then they can renew. City Attorney Rosenthal explained that he does not believe
that is the motion Commissioner Johnson made. Commissioner Johnson agreed. Utilities
Director Smith said he would recommend that if they allow them to go on and piggyback then
they can go out and look for the most favorable prices. He is sure that this vendor will honor that
price. Then within the next 90 -120 days staff can put a packet together and put it out for bid. If

they do not get a better price then they can continue on with the contract. Commissioner
Johnson advised that would not do the city any good in a year from now when the contract is up.
Commissioner Hood agreed and clarified that prior to the term we would send out an RFP for
costs from other companies.
After discussion motion carried 4 - 0 with Mayor Vandergrift being absent.
G. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE
to

� i '4 i 1 '; : 4 1 R t
The ordinance providing for the PRR's has not been amended since 2007. The city manager has requested the
human resources director complete the draft revisions of the PRR's. This revision of the PRR's is a
comprehensive edit and includes some new provisions. These were discussed with the department directors for
review, input and revisions.
City Attorney Rosenthal read the title of the Ordinance.
Human Resources Director Williford gave an overview of all the changes that were made to
the Personnel Rules and Regulations. He explained that some of the changes being proposed are
clarification issues by departments while some are changes that have occurred with the state
laws, pension, and collective bargaining units.
Human Resources Director Williford briefly explained that the Personnel Board met to review
the changes and their recommendations were for approval with the consideration of the tiered
payment schedule for educational reimbursement. He explained that the current policy allows for
those that receive a grade of a "C" or better to receive a 100% reimbursement of their tuition.
The Personnel Board suggested a tiered system but after much discussion decided it was best to
allow city staff to create that system. Human Resources Director Williford said what is before
them tonight does include the tiered system recommended by the department directors. He
explained the reimbursement plan being proposed says that if you receive a grade of an "A" of
"B" you receive 100% reimbursement and a grade of a "C" will get 75% reimbursement.
Anything below a "C" receives no reimbursement.
Commissioner Johnson said he does not feel that all people are "A" students and they should
keep it as is with reimbursement being received if you get a "C" of better. He explained some
employees who work and then have school afterwards may have a tough time earning an "A"
and he feels the fact that they go to school at nights or on weekends is a great thing. He further
inquired if the current system just not working. Human Resources Director Williford said he
does not feel there are any problems with the current policy they have. They have not had any
objections or issues from any employees at this point. City Manager Frank asked that Mr.
Williford please clarify the current reimbursement policy. Human Resources Director
Williford said the current system allows those who receive an "A, B, or C" 100% tuition
reimbursement and anything below that is no reimbursement. City Manager Frank briefly

City Commission Regular

explained they have had quite a savings after implementing some changes last year which tighten
up the rules. Commissioner Wilsen said she had no problems either way but does feel that there
is an incentive for an employee to receive an "A" if 100% reimbursement is given.
Commissioner Keller said, having taught before, he also feels that there are some students who
understand everything but cannot test well. He further said his concern is that he does not see
them saving that much money with the proposed change. A brief discussion ensued regarding
the grade system. Consensus from the Commission was to leave the Education
Reimbursement Program as is.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilsen announced the Second Reading and Public Hearing are scheduled for
November 15, 2011, Regular Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter.

a. Approval of Interlocal Agreement between City of Sanford and City of Ocoee,
and City of Ocoee — MaxWest Agreement for the Disposal of Biosolids from the
City of Ocoee Wastewater Treatment Facility.
The City of Ocoee Wastewater Treatment Facility currently receives and treats approximately 1.68 million
gallons per day of wastewater from its customers. This produces 2,160 wet tons per year in biosolids
(activated sludge). The biosolids are hauled and disposed of in a manner which meets regulatory
requirements using Shelley's Septic Tanks, Inc., DB /A Shelley's Environmental Systems. Shelley's utilizes
land application as its primary method of disposal and has a non - exclusive contract with the City that expires
on July 16, 2012.
Staff discovered a method it prefers in the successful partnership between the nearby City of Sanford and
MaxWest Environmental Services, Inc. MaxWest has available capacity and is capable of hauling the City's
biosolids to the Sanford facility; and Staff is recommending the City enter into a disposal agreement with
MaxWest by utilizing an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Sanford. Since this decision is linked to the
Private - Public Partnership Letter Agreement with MaxWest (agenda item to follow), Staff also recommends
any action taken on this issue be consistently followed with the partnership item.
Utilities Director Smith provided a PowerPoint presentation explaining the biosolids disposal
alternative and MaxWest partnership opportunity.
Commissioner Johnson inquired what the charge is for the consultant that they will have to use.
Utilities Director Smith explained that it would be about $15,000. He further explained that the
consultant would work with city staff over a 6 months period to help advance them and get them
at a high level of pressing. To hire an outside consultant through an engineer firm would cost
about $40,000. Commissioner Johnson inquired how they would know that if they do not put it
out to bid. He further inquired if they are the only company in this business. Utilities Director
Smith said they are the only company in the area that does this. Commissioner Hood inquired
if they would need to hire more city staff. Utilities Director Smith said they would not.
Commissioner Johnson inquired if the city is paying the consultant. Utilities Director Smith
— - Page 6
City Commission Regular
November 1, 2011
said they would pay the consultant for 6 months but if the commission does not want them to use
the consultant then they can take the consultant out of the agreement. Mayor Pro Tem Wilsen
said her concern is that eventually if the company they use is not able to take the ash they will be
left with a lot of press material. Utilities Director Smith said then they would have to find
another location. He further briefly explained that what they are really going to do is secure a
portion of MaxWest's plant which they are holding abet for the city to use. Then at a point when
they feel there is an opportunity to open up the same facility in Ocoee they will move to the city.
Commissioner Johnson inquired as to how much money they would have to pay up front to
have this process put in and further inquired as to how long the contract would be. Utilities
Director Smith explained that this is being completely funded by MaxWest. Mayor Pro Tem
Wilsen said she believes Commissioner Johnson is jumping to item "6b ". Utilities Director
Smith said what they are securing tonight is the ability to use MaxWest and to send our sludge to
Sanford. Commissioner Hood explained that the process they are using now where they dump
the sludge on land is not very favorable. Commissioner Johnson said it just seems to be the
Utilities Enterprise Fund is easy access to spend out of. He further said he would like to know
how long the letter states that they would have to keep MaxWest if they put their facility here.
City Manager Frank explained that this is something that would come back at some point in the
future when there is a customer base. He further briefly explained the Letter Agreement between
the City of Ocoee & MaxWest Environmental Systems, Inc.
City Attorney Rosenthal briefly advised that discussion is flowing back and forth between
items 6a and 6b and they really need to be careful as to which item they are talking about in
comments and in answering the questions. Jeff Synder addressed the Commission and briefly
explained they have a 20 year contract with the City of Sanford which was executed about 3 '/2
years ago. He further briefly explained the interlocal agreement they are proposing under item 6a
with regards to disposal of biosolids. City Attorney Rosenthal interjected and explained the
two agreements the commission would be approving under item 6a advising that the agreement
with MaxWest is for a two -year term and anything beyond that term would have to come before
the city commission. Mayor Tem Wilsen said she was confused with the comment made
regarding the enterprise fund. She is under the impression from what she heard from Utilities
Director Smith that this will be less of a financial impact in the long run by using the process
proposed tonight. Utilities Director Smith said in the long run if they form a partnership it will
be very advantages because if they have a facility located in Ocoee then they will not be hauling
the biosolids off -site and when other municipalities want to use our facility, the city will share
that revenue with MaxWest. City Attorney Rosenthal advised that item 6b is speculative and
further stated that he believes Commissioner Wilsen was inquiring if item 6a costing more or
less. Utilities Director Smith answered that item 6a would cost about $9500 (projected) more a
year then if they would stay with Shelley's. Commissioner Wilsen said she would like to see
the city on the cutting edge and being ahead and this is personally a direction that she feels will
be up and coming. Commissioner Hood said he feels this would also be beneficial if other
municipalities bring their sludge to our facility. Commissioner Johnson inquired if the city
would be required to do a 20 year contract such like Sanford. City Manager Frank briefly
explained they are not at that point yet but if they do get to that point a contract would come back
before the commission. Commissioner Wilsen asked Utilities Director Smith to briefly explain
again to the commission and viewers watching the agreements they would be approving on item
6a only. Mr. Smith explained the agreements, as well as, he explained the financial impact that
-- Page 7 --
City Commission Regular

they would incur which would be covered by their budget. Commissioner Keller commented
that he likes what is being proposed. The city has found a way where they can make money
which is a lot better and safer than a landfill. He further commented that he likes the idea that
this is something that down the road the city can return to the citizens by keeping their millage
rate down. Commissioner Johnson inquired from Mr. Synder if they were the only company in
the State of Florida in this type of business. Mr. Synder answered that they are currently the
only company in the United States that offers this service and the only commercially operating
biosolids gasification facility that they know of. They are corporate offices are located in
Sanford, Florida.
Commissioner Hood, seconded by Commissioner Keller, moved to approve the
Interlocal Agreement between the City of Sanford and City of Ocoee, and City of
Ocoee — MaxWest Agreement for the Disposal of Biosolids from the City of Ocoee
Wastewater Treatment Facility. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift being
absent.
b. Approval of Letter Agreement for Private — Public Partnership for Biosolids
Processing between the City of Ocoee & MaxWest Environmental Systems, Inc.
MaxWest Environmental Systems, Inc., partnered with the City of Sanford, has co- located a biosolids
(activated sludge) processing facility at Sanford's South Water Resource Center. The facility provides
disposal services to wastewater treatment facilities generally located in Seminole County. The processing
facility dries and gasifies sludge to a non - sludge ash and is capable of processing 80 tons per day.
Staff recommends City Commission consider a similar partnership for Ocoee whereas MaxWest would
eventually co- locate a facility on the Ocoee Wastewater Treatment Facility campus.
Commissioner Hood, seconded by Commissioner Keller, moved to approve the
Letter Agreement for Private — Public Partnership for Biosolids Processing
between the City of Ocoee & MaxWest Environmental Systems, Inc. Motion
carried 3 -1 with Mayor Vandergrift being absent and Commissioner Johnson
opposing.
J. STAFF ACTION ITEMS - None
K. COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Hood - asked Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Hayes if they could do a
presentation for the haunted house as well as provide numbers at the next meeting. The
commissioner said he could see that there was a great deal of effort put into the project and that
there was a lot of attendance as well. The commissioner then brought up the matter of tipping
fees. He asked what fees the City is being charged for each individual step. Public Works
Director Steve Krug replied that the City is charged $37.72 per ton for garbage. The City is not
charged to dump recyclable materials. Commissioner Hood continued that there is a concern
with individuals removing cans from the recycle bins. Director Krug explained that is against
Ocoee's ordinance to remove debris from the recyclable materials container. Commissioner
Keller asked if the City would have an opportunity to use the facility and have the vendor
compete with Orange County. The director said that they would like to think so. Orange

County's tipping fees have gone up 6 %. Director Krug said the City is in negotiations about the
matter. Commissioner Hood said it would be great to have an interlocal agreement with
Apopka. They have gotten a sweet deal, the commissioner said. Mayor Pro Tem Wilsen said
she hopes residents understand that recycling saves money for the City in tipping fees.
Commissioner Johnson - said there are two different medians in town that they do not take care
of enough one is on Bluford and Geneva. The other is off of Bowness on Kissimmee. It is not
mowed and people throw trash there. Commissioner Hood also said the grass on Silver Star
Road with all that grass that got burn still needs to be replaced. Krug said he knows the locations
and will take a look into the matter, and that they can definitely clean the area up.
Commissioner Johnson said that they could plant something there. Director Krug said that
there may be some left over funding to do planting. Commissioner Johnson said there are a
number of street lights that are not working. Commissioner Keller said they have had neighbors
report and on average it took about 2 1/2 months to get the street lights back on. Director Krug
said citizens can contact his department and his staff can contact Progress Energy using a work
order that contains a number which the City tracks. Commissioner Johnson said he received a
compliment about the thorough pick up of debris the public works staff did using the claw truck.
Director Krug said he will relay the compliment to his staff. Commissioner Johnson inquired
about the pick -up schedule. Director Krug said it's the first recycling pick -up for the month.
Commissioner Keller said the MVP grant started today. An application can be picked up today
at City Hall. The application submission deadline is November 30 The commissioner said that
there is a concern by Forest Trail regarding the median. The funding for flowers for the median
has been cut. Commissioner Keller said that residents are wondering if they could apply for the
grant to beautify the median owned by Orange County. The commissioner assumed that the
group would have to obtain some sort of agreement for maintenance to avoid having their
improvements cut down. City Manager Frank said he believes there would have to be an
agreement between the County and the HOA. He said the question for the commission is if the
commission wants to consider such a project for the grant. Commissioner Keller also wanted to
mention that he went to the last Apopka meeting and said they have agreed to be a host city.
Apopka will get $1 million dollars as a signing bonus. This will save them $1/2 million a year
on tipping fees, and they will receive another $' /2 million. In total it is basically a $21 million
deal. There are concerns that it is to close Clarcona Ocoee Elementary School. The
commissioner wasn't sure how this would affect Ocoee's building plans. Commissioner Hood
said that he thinks the County owns all of that property. Commissioner Keller did ask Apopka
to hold off on approval of the matter so that Ocoee, Apopka and the County could study the
possible impact, but the Apopka officials went ahead and made their decision. Commissioner
Keller brought up the matter concerning Waste Management. Assistant City Manager Shadrix
said he has spoken with Mr. Dave Green of Waste Management who said the company would
like to speak with Ocoee's commission and staff about the Apopka plans before making any
additional moves. The City will be meeting with Waste Management on two days next week, the
assistant city manager said. Mr. Green is also planning on attending the November 15th
commission meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilsen said she was approached by a resident regarding boating on Spring
Lake. She knows that there is an ordinance against it but she does not recall why that is.

there was no access into the lake. Further discussion ensued regarding lakes with similar size
issues.
