FX Chief Strategy Officer Bob Gravely introduced his team and briefly spoke on how they
helped design and crafted the 9 -11 World Trade Center Steel display stand that they unveiled and
presented to Ocoee Fire Chief McNeil. Ocoee Fire Chief McNeil recognized Firefighter James
Kelley for coming to him and suggesting that they consider taking the steel from the trade center
to FX Design. He further recognized John Pedalino with the We Will Never Forget 911
Foundation and thanked FX Design. The 9 -11 World Trade Center Steel display monument will
be shared with many schools for education purposes and placed throughout different public
places. It will start off being displayed at the new fire station located at Fountains West.

Lellislative Update by Gray Robinson, P.A.
Chris Carmody & Robert Stuart with Gray Robinson gave a brief legislative update on what
has occurred in Tallahassee with the election, as well as, a brief overview of the local legislators
that serve Ocoee and the surrounding area. Key dates and issues for the 2013 Session were also
provided.
After the presentation, Commissioner Keller inquired if Florida House Rep. Darren Soto had a
small piece of Ocoee in his district. It was answered that they believed he did. Commissioner
Keller thanked Mr. Carmody and Mr. Stuart for the three bills they spoke on. He further advised
that one of the issues they have with Code Enforcement always has to reduce funds and if there
was some way to get the legislator to make it easier on the cities that would be very helpful.
Commissioner Keller said he is looking forward to working with Dan Gates, who is very much
a pro school person and he believes at one point was the chairman of that committee.
City Commission Regular
January 15, 2013
R.P. Monacky, 1820 Prairie Lake Blvd., asked for clarification on where the Governor will be
funding jobs. It was shared that the Governor just spoke the other day about providing $40
million in funding to the Jacksonville Port Authority but it is a matter of opinion on whether the
Governor is funding jobs since some will say the Governor has not provided any jobs.
C. COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS /PUBLIC
Jerald Jordan, 2079 Hargate Court, asked if there is something that can be done by the city as
far as enforcement on Hackney Prairie Road. Mr. Jordan's home is on the corner of Hargate and
Hackney Prairie and he has witnessed a traffic problem on that roadway with speeders. He
explained that since 2005 he has sent over 250 e -mails and has spoken to numerous employees
within the city regarding that road; however, to date nothing has been done and he constantly
sees people running the stop sign. Mr. Jordan is before the commission to inquire what can be
done since the traffic is only going to get worse once the school is completed.
Commissioner Keller said he has met with Mr. Jordan at his address and personally has seen
cars speeding past the stop sign. The Commission was in agreement with Mr. Jordan that there
is an issue and that changing the behavior of the drivers by increasing enforcement, and/or speed
bumps will help. Lt. Dreasher said that he has spoken with Mr. Jordan and P.D has gone out but
they are not finding many violators. Meetings with Public Works Director Krug and Support
Services Director Butler have occurred to come up with ideas on how they can redesign the
roadway once the construction of the school is done, that may help with a lot of the issues that
are occurring. Mayor Pro tem Hood said at this time they can continue to do radar patrol for
enforcement until a model design can be done. Mayor Pro tem Hood asked the city manager if
there was any way they can look at funds mid -year to see if they can put speed tables out in that
area. City Manager Frank said they can look at it internally and it is possible that there may be
some funds mid -year. A brief discussion ensued on speed tables and it was decided since the
road is currently closed off due to the construction of the school they can increase patrol and put
flashers on the stop signs until mid -year when they can consider the speed tables. Mr. Jordan
advised that a crosswalk from the park would also be requested since there is no way for the
children to cross over other than that busy intersection. City Manager Frank advised they will
take a look at all the issues internally.
Tim Alcuri, 2113 Ancient Oak Drive, said there has been an increase in activity and noise from
the Prairie Lake Park off of Hackney Prairie Lake. He lives 375 ft. from the location of the park
and the noise is disruptive that he has sent out e -mails regarding the noise to the Mayor and P.D.
Mr. Alcuri says he has witnessed activities in that park that he does not believe the city
approved with the issuance of the rental of the pavilion. Some of the activities at the park he
feels have also contributed to the home invasions in the neighborhood. The solution he would
like to suggest is to have Ocoee P.D. go by the park once or twice or even put video surveillance
at the park. Mr. Alcuri shared audio that he recorded on his cellphone of music that he can hear
while sitting in his home. He would just like for the city to please enforce the noise ordinance
that is currently in place. Mayor Pro tem Hood said he would like to have P.D. increase patrol
in the park since he has personally noticed a lot of graffiti that goes on in the pavilion, as well.
Deputy Chief Goelon said that P.D. is working with Parks and Recreation Department and they
will be bringing a resolution to change park hours. Brief discussion ensued on the changing of
parks hours and camera surveillance at the parks. It was strongly urged by Commissioner
Page 2
City Commission Regular
January 15, 2013
Johnson that they consider putting cameras out for surveillance. City Manager Frank advised
that they have a couple of good ideas and there may be money in the contingency, so they can
bring this discussion back to the next meeting. Commissioner Johnson advised that they had a
resident donate money to the Recreation Department that has never been used and he can speak
with parks staff since he knows the person who donated that money would not have a problem
with putting cameras in the park.
D. STAFF REPORTS AND AGENDA REVIEW
City Manager Frank made the following announcements:
1) Staff would like to pull Consent Agenda Item 47 and bring it back sometime next month.
2) There are two (2) Emergency Items on the dais in front of them to be addressed. Mayor
Pro tem Hood declared the following items Emergency Items:
Emergency Item #1 - Approval of Code Enforcement Agreement'- with Town of
Windermere.
Support Services Manager Butler gave a brief summary of the services that were negotiated
with Windermere for Code Enforcement. Questions were asked about the hourly rate and if the
City of Ocoee logo was covered when the officer works in the Windermere area. City Manager
Frank explained they were very conservative in the numbers and took into consideration
everything it would cost to service Windermere, as for the logo, a magnetic sign is put alongside
the city logo and not over it. To keep the officer from having to change uniforms a patch will be
created to include Windermere.
Commissioner Wilsen, seconded by Commissioner Johnson moved to approve
the Code Enforcement Agreement with the Town of Windermere Motion carried
4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.
Emergency Item #2 Approval of contracting with Columnar Development, LLC for the
installation of additional 16 inch reuse main along McCormick Road in conjunction with
Brynmar Subdivision.
City Manager Frank explained last year they came into agreement with the County for re -use
water from the plant on McCormick Road. Columnar's contractor has .provided a cost proposal
for performing the work in the amount of $182,149.30 which would cover 1600 linear feet of
piping that the city will not have to do on the other project. Its money they will be spending now
but not in the future so it is not an additional $182,000. City Engineer Wheeler shared this is
work that is being done in conjunction with the Bynmar Subdivision.
Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Wilsen moved to approve
contracting with Columnar Development LLC for the installation of additional 16
inch reuse main along McCormick Road in conjunction with Brynmar

5. Approval of Purchase of Fire Department Digital Radios. (Fire Chief McNeil)
The FY 2012/2013 budget provided $31,902 for the purchase of six (6) Motorola XTS 5000 digital portable
radios, one (1) XTL 5000 digital mobile radio, and related accessories. These radios are necessary in order to
bring the department's radio inventory to the same level as it was prior to the Orange County radio system
switching to digital in early 2012. Due to budgetary constraints, only the minimum number of radios needed to
maintain normal operations were purchased during FY2011 -12. The addition of the requested radios will equip
Reserve Engine -39, as well as provide needed back -up radios and the availability of radios for special events
and disasters. Motorola radios must be purchased. Motorola is a sole source provider for these radios and the

Krug)
The City traditionally purchases vehicles and equipment through bids from the Florida Sheriffs Association's

possible pricing. Public Works found the Florida Sheriffs Association continues to provide the lowest
competitively bid pricing. The following vehicles and equipment are adequately funded in the 2012/2013
Department budgets: one (1) Street Sweeper Tymco Model 600 (Stormwater), two (2) Ford 4x4 F -150 Long

Approved on Consent. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.
7. Approval of the Vineyards Homeowners Association Agreement for Upgraded Street
Lights. (City Engineer Wheeler)
The Homeowners Association Agreement for Upgraded Street Lights was proposed by Staff and Legal Counsel
and agreed to by the Vineyards HOA. Once the Agreement is executed by the City, the HOA will pay the
upgraded street light cost differential and pursue the replacement of the lights with Progress Energy. The City
began billing the HOA for the cost differential approximately one year ago when a review of all subdivisions
and street lights was conducted. Therefore, the City will need to waive the past bills to the Vineyards HOA for
the monthly cost differential for the current street lights. The street light payments from the HOAs are not listed
as a revenue stream in the City's Budget but are credited against the expense line item in the Budget for
payments to Progress Energy for all street lights in the City.
This item was pulled and will be heard at a future meeting.
G. PUBLIC HEARINGS - None
H. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE

I. REGULAR AGENDA
9. Approval of Placement of Two (2) Additional Cameras for the City of Ocoee's Traffic
Light Safety Program. (Police Chief Brown)
The City of Ocoee Traffic Light Safety Program started with two (2) red -light cameras in July 2009. In
December 2010, an additional three (3) cameras were added to the program. The program has been very
successful in reducing crashes at the intersections with camera enforcement. It has also provided valuable
evidence in criminal investigations, including homicides The City of Ocoee is now prepared to negotiate with
American Traffic Solutions (ATS) for an additional two (2) cameras which have already been approved in the
FY 2012/2013 budget. Based on studies of red light violations and traffic crash data, the following intersections
are recommended for new camera placement:
Westbound State Road 50 a Blackwood Avenue (Districts 2 and 3/ Comm. Wilsen and Johnson)
Eastbound Silver Star Road @ Clarke Road (Districts 2 and 4/ Comm. Wilsen and Keller)
Other intersections that can be considered are:
West Road @ Ocoee Apopka Road (District 1/ Comm. Hood)
Westbound Silver Star Road @ Clarke Road (Districts 2 and 4 Comm. Wilsen and Keller)
Northbound Ocoee Apopka @ Silver Star Road (District 3/ Comm. Johnson)
Southbound Ocoee Apopka a Silver Star Road (District 3/ Comm. Johnson)
Eastbound State Road 50 (a Bluford Avenue (District 3/ Comm. Johnson)
The cameras and operation of the program are paid for by the red -light violators through fines.
Lt. Dreasher briefly explained that the city currently has 5 red light cameras and they budgeted
for two new cameras this year. He reviewed statistics which included the number of tickets that
have been written annually since the first two cameras were installed: 3376 in 2009; 14,000+ in
2010 (five cameras); 8,000+ in 2011; and 8,300 in 2012. He emphasized the distinct decrease in
violations after 2010, the first year all five cameras were operational. He gave a PowerPoint
presentation showing various locations and number of tickets that have been issued. He showed a
video of many crashes and red light violations at the five intersections in the city where red light
cameras have been installed. He said, based on crash reports and other statistics, the police
department recommends adding cameras at the following two locations: 1) Westbound State
Road 50 @ Blackwood Avenue and 2) Eastbound Silver Star Road @ Clarke. He displayed a
list of five other locations that may also be considered.
Lt. Dreasher also explained how the cameras have been used for other things; he gave an
example of how a homicide investigation was assisted when the perpetrator was recorded going
to and from the scene. The cameras have been instrumental in identifying certain vehicles that
the police they are trying to place in certain areas at certain times. Having cameras that are
known to be recording 24/7 are also a crime deterrent. Commissioner Keller and
Commissioner Hood discussed that the benefits the city is receiving from safer driving and
crime deterring far outweigh the financial benefits. Lt. Dreasher added that the best thing about
the cost factor is there is no cost to the taxpayer, only to those who violate the law.
Commissioner Keller asked about how the $4750 per month is being paid. Lt. Dreasher said
after all costs are paid the city is netting about $25,000 per month. Commissioner Keller
inquired if there was enough money to get a third camera because he agrees with Commissioner
Johnson that one is needed at Maguire and SR 50. Lt. Dreasher said that could only be done on
the westbound side. There was discussion about the manpower and cost of adding an additional
camera. City Manager Frank stated that adding two will bring in a lot of additional workload;
he is not sure about the staffing required for three more cameras. Lt. Dreasher said they only
Page 6 - -- _
City Commission Regular
January 15, 2013
budgeted for two cameras, that is why they are asking for two at this time, however he did
believe they could handle a third new camera if that is the wish of the commission.
Commissioner Johnson said if the cameras are saving lives, we need to continue reinvesting the
profits for more cameras. Lt. Dreasher said the state previously did not allow red light cameras
on state roads, but laws changed and now it is allowed. After the discussion, a motion was made
for three new red light cameras.
Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, moved to approve
the placement of the two red light cameras as recommended by staff: 1)
Westbound State Road 50 (ab_ Blackwood Avenue and 2) Eastbound Silver Star
Road (aD Clarke; as well as an additional one at 3) Westbound State Rd 50 (a�
Maguire Rd. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.
10. Approval of Brynmar Final Subdivision Plan - Waiver Request. (Principal Planner
Fabre)
The Brynmar Subdivision is located on the southeast corner of Ingram Road and McCormick Road. The
Applicant /Developer is requesting a 5 -feet waiver from the required minimum rear setback of 30 -feet as set
forth in Table 5 -2 of the City of Ocoee Land Development Code for R -IAA zoning. The requested waiver
affects only internal Lots 56 -83 (Lots 28 -55 of the Brynmar Phase 1 "Plat ") of the Brynmar Subdivision. In
other words, the applicant is proposing a development standard of 25 -feet minimum rear building setback on
lots 56 -83 of the FSP.
The Applicant is requesting this waiver in order to provide a wider range of home products for potential home
buyers. It should be noted that the Applicant was not the original developer of the subdivision and that their
home products varied from the original home builder's products. For that reason, adhering to the rear building
setback requirements with the depth of the existing lots proved to be problematic for the current
Applicant /Developer. The engineer of record has also submitted a letter that states that the increase of potential
buildable square footage should not adversely affect the subdivision stormwater drainage system.
Principal Planner Fabre stated there are technical issues with the video presentation, so he
gave a brief overview of the Brynmar Subdivision (formerly Ingram Estates). It is under
construction at this time. It was previously approved by the commission in 2007, but after the
economy went bad the building ceased. The new owner (Beazer Homes) has been making
infrastructure improvements. They noticed some issues with lot size, particularly the depth.
They are requesting a 25 ft. minimum set back. Staff looked at the feasibility and found that
there would be no issues with stormwater, etc. He added that is the standard setback for
McCormick woods across the street. This will prevent future homeowners from individually
seeking setback waivers in the future.
Commissioner Keller said they are doing it in McCormick Woods already and he sees no
problem with it.
Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Wilsen, moved to approve the
Brynmar Final Subdivision Plan - Waiver Request for 25 foot minimum rear set
back, as presented by staff. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.

11. Approval of Resolution for Extension of Temporary Signage Policy. (City Planner
Rumer)
On January 19, 2010, the City passed resolution 2010 -002 which temporarily granted business the opportunity
to use prohibited signs such as banner signs, inflatable signs, pennants and other media for four non - consecutive
two week periods. A respectable number of businesses have utilized the opportunity and asked that it remain in
place for a period to help with the economic conditions.
Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commission adopt a resolution that would extend the use
of the temporary grand opening to four times per year until January I, 2014, with provisions of the permit
remaining as they currently exist.
City Planner Rumer advised that they are requesting to extend the use of the temporary grand
opening to four times per year until January 1, 2014, with provisions of the permit remaining as
they currently exist. This would allow signs at their business, no permitted by code, to be placed
for two week periods and no more than four times per year. Commissioner Johnson said the
main reason we did this is for business to draw more attention during these hard times.
City Attorney Cookson read the title of the Resolution.
Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Mayor Pro tem Hood, moved to approve
Resolution No 2013 -001 for Extension of Temporary Signage Policy as
recommended by staff. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.
The resolution as adopted carries the following title:
RESOLUTION NO. 2013 -001
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF OCOEE, FLORIDA, FINDING THAT
CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS JUSTIFY THE TEMPORARY
AUTHORIZATION OF CERTAIN SIGNS; AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF
PERMITS FOR THE TEMPORARY USE OF CERTAIN SIGNS BY RETAIL
BUSINESSES FOR FOUR NONCONSECUTIVE TWO WEEK PERIODS PER
CALENDAR YEAR; PROVIDING FOR THE EXPIRATION OF THIS
AUTHORIZATION ON JANUARY 1, 2014; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
F. STAFF ACTION ITEMS
_ FROM COMMISSIONE
Commissioner Wilsen 1) said she received an invitation to the Big Orange Awards and was
wondering if they would be getting a table this year, or just a few seats. City Manager Frank said
they do it every year and it should be on the list of items that area automatically budgeted.
Commissioner Wilsen, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, moved to approve
the purchase of a table for $375 at the Big Orange Awards event. Motion carried
4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.
2) Reminded everyone of the Rain Barrel Workshop on February 2, 2012. Call the Utilities

Commissioner Johnson 1) said there are no sidewalks or traffic calming devices on Geneva
Street going toward the park and cemetery and kids are walking in the street. We need to do
something there because it is dangerous. There was discussion about different traffic calming
measures. 2) said they need to look into purchasing more land by the cemetery. City Manager
Frank said most of the land to the south is prime commercial. Commissioner .Johnson said we are
already selling niches in the columbarium. 3) stated that the PUD for the mosque on Floral Street
will also bring about a greater need for sidewalks in that area. Currently the school kids walk
down that street as well. 4) also, we need to address sidewalks on Kissimmee, as the traffic there
is fast 5) asked Public Works Director about the Maguire Road landscaping. Mr. Krug said that
we just started making incremental improvements as budget money comes in; we had some
savings to from a landscaping project on the north end that was used.6) Ohio Street to Delaware
Street sidewalks 7) sidewalks are popped up on Bluford and throughout his neighborhood on
Cumberland and Delaware; need to look at those for repairs. Commissioner Keller advised if
they are looking at sidewalk repairs there are several IIOAs in District 4 that have the same
issues.
Commissioner Wilsen inquired about the columbarium and if they are selling. City Clerk
Eikenberry advised there has not been any advertising yet due to the delay of the installation of
benches and landscaping, but there is a waiting list of three people and the Mayor purchased two.
Commissioner Wilsen asked the price. Ms. Eikenberry stated $1000 for residents, $1500 for
non- residents. Commissioner Wilsen said she is interested in more colurnbariums in the future.
Mayor Pro tem Hood asked staff to look into getting a few more. There was discussion about
how the cemetery is looking better. Commissioner Johnson asked if the landscaping has been
done, to which Support Services Director Butler stated sod has been placed there and the benches
are on order.
Commissioner Keller -- None
Mayor Pro tem Hood — None
