4. Approval of Locally Funded Agreement — FDOT Intersection Improvements at
Ocoee Hills Road and SR 438 (Silver Star Road). (Public Works Director Krug)
The City has been supporting the FDOT intersection improvements on SR 438, Silver Star Road, from
2n Street to Olympus Drive, which includes the widening of the roadway to accommodate a new
traffic signal and turn lanes at the Ocoee Hills Road intersection. At the January 3, 2012, meeting, the
Commission formalized the City's desire to pay the material cost differential to construct the new
signals utilizing an upgraded mast arm system by executing a Memorandum of Understanding with the
FDOT.
The FDOT held a Public Information Meeting for the project on February 29, 2012, in the City Hall
Commission Chambers and the project was well received by the attendees.
In order for the FDOT to meet the programmed project advertisement for construction in February
2013, the City will need to complete the next step in the process and execute the Locally Funded
Agreement with the FDOT. The Locally Funded Agreement is the mechanism to pay for the cost
differential for the mast arm signals. The City incorporated $45,000.00 in the 2012/13 budget,
however at this time the cost differential is estimated at $31,000.00.
5. Approval of License Agreement to Use City Property for Orange County
Construction Trailers for the Clarcona -Ocoee Road Project. (City Engineer
Wheeler)
Orange County is proceeding with the widening of the last segment of the Clarcona -Ocoee Road
project. That segment is from east of Clarke Road to the bridge at SR 429, the Western Beltway. The
County project includes the widening the roadway to four lanes, stormwater collection and treatment,
and miscellaneous improvements. The construction project is expected to last until May of 2014;
however the contractor is ahead of schedule at this time The contractor of record, DeWitt Excavating,
Inc. is required to furnish trailers for the Orange County inspectors to use as field offices throughout
the duration of the project.
The contractor of record typically installs the project trailers on property owned by the appropriate
agency. However, Orange County does not own any additional property along the project route.
DeWitt approached the City shortly after the project started in May of this year about using a small
portion of the Forest Lake property for the project trailers. The location of the project trailers was
decided to be the southwest corner of the Forest Lake property that is adjacent to Clarcona -Ocoee
Road and the road to the maintenance barn for the golf course.
6. Approval to Award a $37,780 Contract to Clear Village, Inc. for Reconstruction
of the City's Computer Network from Funds Originally Budgeted for Server
Replacement and to Transfer the Remaining Funds for that Capital Outlay to
the Operating Budget for Acquisition of other IT- Related Equipment and
Software. (Support Services Director Butler)
The City's present computer network is configured like the spokes of a wheel, with all traffic coming
through City Hall. Clear Village, Inc., the supplier of the City's SAGE permitting software, conducted
a review of the City's current computer network configuration a few months ago as part of a disaster
recovery planning project and found several issues with both the network's structure and operation.
The City subsequently requested a proposal from Clear Village to re- architect the network. The new
design will create sub -net hubs at major remote offices and major City Hall users so as to reduce
network traffic congestion. This configuration will also address the structure of our servers and
centralized data storage and support creation of departmental -level computer system administrators,
which will allow greater control by the departments over their operations. As a result of the planned
network changes, staff no longer expects to purchase large central computer servers from which to
support all of City government, as were included in the FY 2013 capital outlay budget for the General

Government Division. Staff recommends the City Commission award a contract in the amount of
$37,780 to Clear Village, Inc. to reconstruct the City's computer network and transfer the remaining
General Government Division capital outlay budget for computer server replacement to the operating
budget for the acquisition of other computer - related resources. Of the $46,000 budgeted in Account
No. 001 - 516 -00 -6405 (Computer Equipment/Software Capital Outlay), $38,000 will need to be
transferred to Account No. 001 - 516 -00 -3128 (Professional Services /Other) and $8,000 to Account No.
001- 516 -00 -5235 (Computer Equipment/Software Operating Expenses).
7. Approval of Assignment of the Exclusive Commercial and Multi- Family Solid
Waste Collection Franchise to Waste Services of Florida, Inc. (Purchasing Agent
Tolbert)
The City currently has an Exclusive Commercial and Multi- Family Solid Waste Collection Franchise
Agreement with Waste Depot LLC DBA Waste Works which will expire December 1, 2014. Pursuant
to the Franchise Agreement, the City received a Contract Performance Bond #6530 in the amount of
$200,000 issued by United Casualty and Surety Insurance Company.
On November 1, 2012, Waste Services of Florida Inc. ( "WSI ") purchased certain assets of Waste
Works including the City's franchise agreement. Pursuant to Section 17- Assignment of the Franchise
Agreement, Waste Works is requesting the City's approval to assign the Exclusive Commercial and
Multi - Family Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement to WSI.
8. Approval to Enter into a Contract with Forest Environmental Solutions LLC to
Oversee, Manage and Broker the Harvest and Sale of Select Timber on the
Crown Point Property. (Assistant City Manager Shadrix)
As a result of recent evaluation of City-owned properties in the Crown Point Property area (see
attached map), staff determined that not only do some of the properties pose potential issues during the
dry season (where we are at an increased risk from wildfires), but some contain potentially valuable
timber. On October 19, 2012, professional forester Joe Gocsik of Forest Environmental Solutions,
LLC conducted a brief review of these lands at the staffs request and recommended their viability for
harvest. The proposed contract provides that Forest Environmental Solutions, LLC will manage and
supervise the identification, harvest, and sales of timber from these properties at the direction of the
City Commission. The contract provides that Forest Environmental Solutions will be compensated
10% of the gross revenue generated by the timber harvest. Staff recommends that the City
Commission authorize the execution of the attached contract with Forest Environmental Solutions,
LLC with a motion that waives the City's purchasing procedures. The estimated commission for the
contractor is well below the $25,000 limit approvable by the City Manager and cannot be determined
ahead of time due to the dynamic nature of the market and the direction chosen by the City
Commission on what type of harvest will be undertaken.
G. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES
9. First Reading of Ordinance for Wild (216 1st Street). (Second Reading and Public

The Capital Improvement Element (CIE) of the City of Ocoee Comprehensive Plan is a requirement of

CIE will be updated to ensure that the adopted list of capital projects in the CIE matches the City's
newly adopted fiscal year budget and approved five year Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The
CIE does not propose any new projects not previously reviewed and approved by the Commission.
11. First Reading of Ordinance for Reduction of Impact Fees — Extension until
January 1, 2014. (Second Reading and Public Hearing scheduled for December 18, 2012, Regular
Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter). (City Planner Rumer)
The City passed economic incentives for new construction earlier this year that are by ordinance set to
expire in January 2013. The incentives included reducing impact fees for police, fire, recreational park,
and transportation. Other incentives included the deferral of transportation impact fee payments until
Certificate of Occupancy, and the waiving of the fire plan review fee, which is '/2 of one percent of the
cost of construction.
With the economic conditions still in the state of flux as they were with the original passage of the
economic incentives, and to remain consistent with surrounding local government agencies, staff is
proposing to extend all but one of the incentives for one additional year. Staff is not proposing to
extend the waiving of the fire plan review fee which will reinstate the fee.
12. First Reading of Ordinance to Amend Section 173 -56 of the City Code
Regarding Adoption of a Cross - Connection Control Manual and Repealing
Article VIII, Regulation of Sewer Usage, by the Adoption of a Sewer and
Industrial Pretreatment Use Manual. (Second Reading and Public Hearing scheduled for
December 18, 2012, Regular Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter). (Utilities
Director Smith)
The City last updated a Cross - Connection Control Manual in June 1990, and last updated the City
Code of Ordinances' Article VIII, Regulation of Sewer Usage, in June 1994. The proposed ordinance
will update both the Cross - Connection Control Manual; and remove the regulation of sewer usage
currently in the City Code of Ordinances and replace those provisions with the "Sewer and Industrial
Pretreatment Use Manual ". The new ordinance also provides that future manual revisions can be by
adopted by City Commission- approved resolution.
