Approval of Minutes for the Regular Commission Meeting Held April 17, 2012. (City Clerk Eikenberry) 2. Appointments to the Board of Adjustment. (City Clerk Eikenberry) The three -year term of Bob Colburn and Robert Cadle ends May 2012. Mr. Cadle was recently moved from an alternate member position to a regular member position by the Commission on January 17, 2012. Both members have indicated their willingness to serve another term, if reappointed. There is also one regular member position and two alternate member positions currently open for the board.

Approval of Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) FY 2012 Application 2012- H1955- FL -DJ. (Police Chief Brown) Based on FBI Uniform Crime Reports, $12,628.00 has been made available for the City of Ocoee Police Department through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). With this money, staff recommends the purchase of two (2) digital portable radios and fourteen (14) batteries to maintain compliance with an agreement made between all agencies in Orange County, Florida, as well as Federal mandates to be digitally ready by the year 2012. In order to maintain compatibility and interoperability with Motorola radios currently utilized by the Orange County radio users group, Motorola radios must be purchased. Motorola is a sole source provider for these radios and offers only the State of Florida contract pricing. City Commission Regular May 1, 2012 4. Approval of Bulk Fuel, Oils, and Lubricant Purchases. (Public Works Director Krug) The City has purchased bulk fuel, oil and lubricants via piggy- backing off of an Apopka contract since 2009. The Apopka contract has expired and is no longer an available option for the City's use. The City is a member of the Central Florida Purchasing Cooperative (CFPC) where Orange County is the lead agency in solicitations that can benefit multiple municipalities. The City has utilized this purchasing power in the past for petroleum products and requests Commission approval to utilize the following: • Petroleum Traders Co. for E -10 87 octane unleaded gasoline. Bulk transport loads delivered to the Public Works complex fuel depot (8,000+ gallons). • Mansfield Oil Co. for diesel fuel. Bulk transport loads delivered to the Public Works complex fuel depot (7,000+ gallons). • On -Site Fuel Service, Inc. for E -10 87 octane unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel. Tank wagon loads delivered to remote sites throughout the City (Under 8,000 gallons gasoline, Under 7,000 gallons diesel fuel). Orange County also secured contract Y12- 121 -JS for Bulk Petroleum Products with Lynch Oil. This contract was not solicited through the CFPC, but can be piggy- backed onto with Commission approval. 5. Approval of Wastewater Treatment Plant Mixer Motor and Gear Box #1 and #3 Replacements. (Utilities Director Smith) The City of Ocoee Wastewater Plant utilizes I. Kruger's BioDenitro process to remove BOD (biological oxygen demand) through two parallel oxidation ditches (concrete conical tanks), working in alternating oxic and anoxic phases. To accomplish the oxidation of the BOD, raw sewage is fed into the tanks and circulated around their perimeter. As treatment levels are reached, flows are discharged to another treatment process. To circulate the flow, each tank has two mixer units which include a motor, transmission and a turban screw. The Utilities Department has scheduled one mixer from each tank to be rehabilitated in this fiscal year within its "Wastewater Treatment Plant Ten Year Maintenance Schedule ". The existing, originally equipped mixer has a 9.0 HP motor, and operates at a degraded efficiency from when it was originally put into service (40.0 %). Kruger now has a newly designed mixer with improvements to its motor (5.6 H.P) and turban screw. The improved mixer operates at an efficiency of 56.0 %, 40% higher than original operating efficiency of the existing mixer. The redesigned turban screw produces a more balanced laminar flow regime, leading to higher treatment levels and more efficient scouring (cleaning) of the tank. The older mixer has limited parts availability. Based on a mixer being in operation 7 hours a day, replacing the mixers would lead to an annual savings of 8687 kilowatt- hours, and the new mixers' more even flow would lead to higher treatment levels. 6. Approval of Rehabilitation of Lift Station #16. (Utilities Director Smith) Included in the Utilities Department's "Lift Station Ten Year Maintenance Program" schedule is the rehabilitation of Lift Station #14 for Fiscal Year 2012. At issue with the rehab was the change out of two Pump -X brand pumps and their associated hardware. Pump -X is no longer in business and parts are no longer reliably available. Lift Station #16 also utilizes Pump -X pumps and is a more critical facility. Therefore, staff recommends switching the two stations in the maintenance program, by moving station #16 to Fiscal Year 2012, and station #14 to Fiscal Year 2019. The two Pump -X pumps from station #16 will be salvaged, cleaned and shelved, so as to be backups until Lift Station #14's rehab. In addition, utilizing the scheduled resources, staff is recommending the wet well for Lift Station #16 be recoated using GML (Green Monster Liner Coatings, LLC), a polyurea material which is the City's specified standard. 7. Approval of Sanitary Sewer Collection System Inflow and Infiltration Study with Reiss Engineers Inc. in the amount of $49,150.00. (Utilities Director Smith) The City of Ocoee Wastewater Treatment Plant has experienced increased influent flows during the wet weather season. Wet weather flows are usually prolonged and steady thorough out the system and are generally caused by a higher- than - normal water table, leading to the groundwater leaching into the system through pipe joints, sewer laterals and structures. Likewise, a high intensity/short duration rainfall event, especially exacerbated in wet weather season, can lead to localized flooding which Page 2 City Commission Regular May 1, 2012 results in sewer collection facilities being inundated with water. The inflow from the flooding is more intense, short in duration and can be problematic. To ensure the City's wastewater system is properly maintained and operated, Staff is recommending a systematic review of its sewer system by way of I &I (inflow and infiltration) studies. The first study staff recommends will cover the areas that contribute flows to lift stations #10 and #12. Lift station #10 includes the auto auction and industrial area along Enterprise Street. Staff will utilize the services of Reiss Engineering, Inc., the City's hydraulic modeling and engineering planning consultant to map, perform invasive -smoke testing, measure flows in inverts of structures, and determine baseline flows (dry weather) and wet weather flows. The consultant will recommend and attend the televising and recording of underground pipe and facilities. The deliverable for the study shall be a report of findings which identifies issues and recommended corrections, prioritized. 8. St. Johns River Water Management District Water Conservation Cost -Share Grant. (Utilities Director Smith) a) Approval of Water Conservation Cost -Share Grant. The St. Johns River Water Management District would like to partner with the City of Ocoee to study, develop, implement and track innovative water conservation initiatives that are achievable by using the City's technologically advanced smart water metering system. SJRWMD will partner with the City by providing a matching grant in the sum of $66,184, with the City's matching portion being the replacement of the existing water meters with smart meters in the Admiral Pointe, Sleepy Harbor, Veronica Place, and Hidden Oaks neighborhoods (total of 388 homes). The grant also will call for staff to study, track and analyze, and work to implement conservation initiatives that will lead to water savings. Staff anticipates the utilization of the City's C.U.P. consultant in the study and tracking efforts. The grant will cover consulting professional services, tracking software including training, and dedicated computer hardware. The study will begin in June 2012 and should last eighteen months. b) SMW GeoSciences, Inc. Assistance for St. Johns River Water Management District Water Conservation Cost -Share Grant. The City shall receive, if accepted by City Commission, a water conservation grant in the amount of $66,184 for the study, tracking, and eventual City-wide implementation of conservation initiatives utilizing the City's smart water metering system in the Admiral Pointe, Sleepy Harbor, Veronica Place, and Hidden Oaks neighborhoods (totaling 388 meters). Staff recommends utilizing the services of SMW GeoSciences, Inc. in the City's study efforts. G. PUBLIC HEARINGS 9. Arden Park PUD — Variance to the Sign Code. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, April 19, 2012). (City Planner Rumer) The applicant, Standard Pacific Homes, is requesting a variance to permit twelve (12) temporary subdivision development signs on the Arden Park property as part of a marketing plan. The land development code permits two signs not to exceed 128 square feet. Standard Pacific is requesting the variance with the belief that the proposed signage and layout will complement their marketing plan. The Board of Adjustment met on April 19, 2012, and voted 4 -0 to recommend the City Commission approve the requested variance consistent with staff's recommendation for the following conditions: 1. Four (4) signs located on the North /South portion of Clarcona Ocoee Road. 2. Eight (8) signs located on the East/West portion of Clarcona Ocoee Road with four (4) on the Arden Park North property and four (4) on the Arden Park South property. 3. Signs must be separated a minimum of 300 linear feet. H. REGULAR AGENDA I. STAFF ACTION ITEMS Page 3 City Commission Regular May 1, 2012 J.
