Approval for Use of County Solid Waste Management System. (Public Works Director Krug) The City has historically utilized the County solid waste management system to dispose of residential and commercial solid waste.

On October 18, 2011, the City Commission ratified a letter of intent from the County to continue to receive County solid waste management services under the terms of the expired interlocal agreement for 180 days while a new agreement was reached. A new interlocal agreement was not negotiated within the 180 extension with the County Commission electing to take a step back and re- evaluate their current rate structure before going forward. Due to the County's prolonged rate evaluation process, leaving the City unable to negotiate a new contract, and the expiration of the letter of intent, Public Works seeks City Commission authorization to continue to use the County solid waste management system to dispose of residential and commercial solid waste until a new agreement is reached or September 30, 2013. Approved on Consent. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vanderqrift absent. 4. Approval of Water Atlas Interlocal Agreement.

The overall project consists of 95 single family residential lots, two stormwater ponds, and a common recreational area. The project is being developed in two phases. Page 4 — City Commission Regular October 2, 2012 The parcel of land was annexed into the City of Ocoee under Ordinance 2004 -02. The City Commission approved the project on November 6, 2007, under the name of Ingram Estates. Columnar Development LLC has submitted a written request to change the name to Brynmar. The DRC met on September 11, 2012, to consider the name change. Staff considered how the proposed name change would affect record keeping issues and fire /police.

Approval of Risk Management Service Agreement.

Staff is requesting to modify the recommendation to approve the contract and authorize Mayor to execute the same after minor changes as recommended by the City Attorney. City Attorney Cookson advised that the changes have nothing to the do with the amount or terms but is strictly some enforceability issues they want to address in the contract. Mayor Protem Hood commented that with the budget year being tight does the city think that if the Human Resources Williford works with the City Attorney they may be able to save $40,000. City Manager Frank said he believes the city does need the position for this year at least since there have been additional duties signed to that position. Whether it is needed next year can be up for discussion since they will have two other union contracts ready to go for the next two years. City Manager Frank advised that what they are doing different from what they have done in the past is not having the labor attorney sitting at the table which saves on cost. This position has already been put into this budget at the reduced rate. Further discussion ensued on whether Human Resources Director Williford would be taking on more of a lead role since this agreement is only a year position. Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Keller, moved on the approval of the Risk Management Service Agreement per staff's recommendation that the contract include the changes recommended by the City Attorney. Motion carried 3 -1 with Mayor Protem Hood opposing and Mayor Vandergrift absent. G. PUBLIC HEARINGS 7. Second Reading of Ordinance for Park Place (FKA Lake Butler Professional Campus).

COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Keller— 1) said he has been receiving questions about the corner of McCormick and Apopka Road. There seem to be more accidents there. He further asked if there is a possibility of a traffic light being placed at the intersection. Mayor Protem Hood stated that he talked to Public Works Director Steve Krug about that some months ago, and there are no plans for a light at this time. Mayor Protem Hood asked the city manager if a letter of concern could be sent to the County about that area. City Manager Frank answered that there might be funds in the Metro Plan for such matters. The city manager will discuss it with the public works director. 2) inquired about the construction happening at McCormick and Ingram. City Engineer Wheeler said that they should be done within a month or so. At last commission meeting, Mr. Wheeler added, the commission approved the 16 inch installation reeves main. The developer wants to start building homes as soon as possible. A number of their model permits have been sent to the building division, and the commission approved the plat tonight to change the name. The developer is moving forward. Mayor Protem Hood added that the City may need to partner with the County to get lighting for the area. 3) Commissioner Keller mentioned that he would like to see a fountain for dogs at Bill Breeze Parks. He said that a three -foot fountain should be sufficient, and that he is not expecting the fountain to appear tomorrow. Parks & Recreation Director Hayes said that he will look into the matter. Commissioner Johnson — None Commissioner Wilsen- Is there any exception that can be made to waive the five -year wait for a traffic signal? City Engineer Wheeler said that the State will do warrant studies and evaluate the area based on ten or twelve different items. The decision would be based on current traffic, future traffic projections, as well as accident history. The city manager asked Commissioner Wilsen if she was talking about a specific location. She answered that she believes the Page 9 City Commission Regular October 2, 2012 commission will be having discussions about the development's impact on traffic at Silver Bend. From everything she has read, residents are concerned about the increase in traffic volume that will result. City Manager Frank responded that even if the State's study did not result favorably for the traffic light, funding could be found. Mayor Protem Hood added that there is also the matter of not having traffic lights too close to one another. The city engineer said that they try not to have the lights closer than a quarter of a mile of each other. Commissioner Wilsen stated that she anticipates that the questions will come and she wanted to bring up the issue now, Commissioner Keller inquired if the traffic light on Ocoee Hill will improve the situation at all. Commissioner Wilsen said that she did not know. Commissioner Keller said that there is one traffic light that is supposed to be started soon. Commissioner Wilsen said that she thought that traffic light was going to be delayed. City Engineer Wheeler said the traffic signal on Ocoee Hill is on the west side of Clark Road and Silver Bend (that has the construction going on near it) is on the east side of Clark Road. Ocoee's utility team is doing its relocation right now. Other utilities need to do their relocation as well. The DOT (Florida Department of Transportation) is looking to finish its construction by the end of this fiscal year. Commissioner Wilsen thanked the engineer for the information.
