Team. (Police Chief Goclon)
The Central Florida Child Abduction Response Team is made up of law enforcement agencies throughout
Central Florida and coordinated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The team's primary objective
is to immediately dispatch a coordinated team of experts and vital resources to requesting member agencies to
prevent time delays in looking for abducted children. The team, which includes our agency, is already working
together and has proven its worth in our area. The mutual aid agreement formalizes the response area, liability
issues, and other operational issues.
3. Approval for Budget Adjustment for CIP Project- Bluford Avenue at Orlando Avenue.
(Public Works Director Zaitooni)
The plans and bid documents have been completed for this CIP project. In order to proceed to the official
advertisement for bid, it is necessary to adjust the budgeted funds for the project. The official engineer's
estimate for construction is $453,000.00, which will be split between Road Impact Fees and Water Utilities R &
R Funds. In addition, there is an unpaid balance of $8,500.00 for design of utilities by Professional Engineering
Consultants (PEe). The current available budget balance is $300,000.00 from the Road Impact Fee Funds (after
the design and preparation of bid documents fee of $50,000). No funds were budgeted from the Water Utility
Funds for the design, replacement, and relocation of the water utilities within the project limits. Therefore, in
order to proceed with advertisement, it is requested that City Commission consider approval of (1) an additional
$71,000.00 from Road Impact Fees, and (2) $90,500.00 from the Water Utilities R & R for the project. The
additional authorized funds will provide $453,000.00 for the construction phase of the project and $8,500.00
for utility design to PEe.
4. Award of RFP #05-003 for Air Conditioning & Heating Maintenance Term Contract.
(Purchasing Agent Tolbert)
In compliance with policies and procedures of the City of Ocoee Purchasing Code Chapter 21, a Request for
Proposals (RFP) was advertised with the intention to select a company deemed to be the most highly qualified
to provide preventative maintenance, routine and emergency repairs of air conditioning and heating units to the
City as part of a three year term contract. Staff recommends that the City Commission award RFP #05-003 to
Apple Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc., in the amount of $8,600/annua1 maintenance and $65.00/hr.
5. Award of Bid #B05-12 for Center Street Stormwater Pond. (Purchasing Agent Tolbert)
This fiscal year's budget contains $593,000.00 for the construction of the Center Street Stormwater pond. The
Public Works Director is recommending increasing the budget to $726,300.00 to fund this project, by
decreasing the funding for the Center Street Phase II Collection System from $297,122.00 to $163,822.00. The
Public Works Department and Finance Department have reviewed all bids. Staff recommends awarding the bid
to Gibbs & Register, Inc. in the amount of$726,300.00.

Goodman Centre development is located at the northwest corner of State Road 50 (Colonial Drive) and Clarke
Road. This plat is for a commercial development, which includes existing Kane's Furniture store, another 5
vacant lots, a lift station, a conservation area and the associated master surface water management system,
which consist of 30.49 acres. All required documentation pertaining to the platting of this development has
been reviewed and approved by City staff.
8. Old Winter Garden Road/Professional Parkway Project. (City Engineer Wheeler)
a. Approval of Change Order No.4 with Prime Construction Group, Inc.
Change Order No.4 includes adjustments and additions to Ocoee Utilities water and reuse mains, repair of
sediment and erosion control facilities, and repair of private irrigation systems within the temporary
construction easements as part of the joint venture Ocoee/Orange County roadway widening project. The road-
widening project is being performed under a JP A Agreement and the funding is spelled out in that agreement.
Details of the proposed changes are included in the attached copy of the Change Order No.4. The amount of
the change order is an increase of $26,968.39, with no adjustment in contract time.
b. Amendment to Agreement For Consulting Engineering Services with Professional
Engineering Consultants, Inc.
PEC, Inc. is providing Construction Administration Services for the project during construction. The city had
been providing the full time inspection services until Mr. Rod Winfrey left the City's employment. Until such
time as the City can hire another inspector to fill the vacant position, the City has requested that PEC, Inc.
provide the necessary personnel to cover the construction inspection. PEC, Inc. has proposed to utilize the
services of PSI, Inc., who is performing materials testing on the project, to provide the resident inspection of the
construction. Additionally, PEC, Inc. has employed the services of Mr. Winfrey, as an outside consultant, to
assist with any project specific technical assistance.
Commissioner Anderson pulled Items 3, 4, 5, and 7 to ask questions, and then the Consent
Agenda was voted on in its entirety.
Item 5-Commissioner Anderson asked if we can start Phase II, after we have Phase I
completed, even though we do not have enough money to complete the entire project. Public
Works Director Zaitooni said that they had planned to do the design and start the construction
for Phase II this fiscal year, and divert the rest until next year because of the shortage in the
Stormwater Operating Funds. Commissioner Anderson said he also noticed the address of the
bidder was not on the form.
Item 3-Commissioner Anderson asked if we can place sewers in while we are doing road
construction. Public Works Director Zaitooni said repair on this intersection does not lend
itself to implementation of sewer lines, as it may in other locations.
Item 4-Commissioner Anderson asked about the bid process, and why Commissioners are not
on the bid review committees anymore. Mayor Vandergrift said in the past, he asked that
Commissioners were placed on various investigative boards because they were not getting all of
the information needed to make a decision, but today we should expect the staff to communicate
with us. Commissioner Anderson said he would like to get all of the information in his packet
if they are not going to be included on the board. Mayor Vandergrift suggested that
Commissioner Anderson should ask the Commission if there is a certain bid that he wants to be
part of the process. Commissioner Parker said she thinks Commissioners should attend to
listen and learn, but not to be a voting member of the committee.
Item 7- Commissioner Anderson asked what the City is doing as far as setting aside area for
landscaping in the case of new developments and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
"takings" for the purpose of road widenings. City Engineer Wheeler said we have a 50-foot
setback according to our Land Development Code (LDC) and we have been advising all new
developers of projects in progress with FOOT at any given time. City Attorney Rosenthal said
FDOT has asked, in the past, that we waive our LDC requirements for landscaping, and we do
not to that, it may become a legal non-conforming use or structure after a "taking" from FDOT,
or we can have them do some corrective action on the site. It has to be looked at on a case-by-
case basis. Mayor Vandergrift asked Mr. Wheeler to advice Commissioner Anderson when the
next meeting with FDOT will be held.
Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Hood, moved to approve
Consent Aaenda Items 1-8, as presented. Motion carried 5-0.
I F. PUBLIC HEARINGS
9. Foote Property. (Planning Manager Armstrong)
a. Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan. (Advertised in Orlando Sentinel Orange Extra on Thursday,
October 20, 2005)
The Foote property is located on the northwest corner of Bluford Avenue and Orlando Avenue. The developer is
proposing to develop the property with four residential single-family lots averaging Yz acre in size. Septic tanks will
be provided for the four lots and water will be provided by the City of Ocoee. The developer is dedicating ten feet
of right-of-way along Bluford Avenue to the City for future roadway improvements. Of these ten feet, five feet will
be comprised for a sidewalk installed by the developer. The applicant is requesting one waiver in regards to
providing reclaimed water service. The City Engineering Department advised the developer to request this waiver
because the City has no intentions to provide reclaimed water lines within the near future. The applicant is also
processing two right-of-way vacations for Washington Street and Cumberland Avenue.
Planning Manager Armstrong gave a presentation on the Foote Property items and explained
the staff recommendations.
Commissioner Anderson asked why we are not placing sewers here since there is a lift station
on the fire station property. City Engineer Wheeler said the current lift station is not an
area-wide station; at the time the fire station was built the developer paid for it, the money did
not come from the utility fund. There was no master plan for that area, and they moved forward
with construction of the fire station. There will be a master plan in the future, and new
development will be incorporated in to that plan. Commissioner Johnson said they have been
waiting for approval for eighteen months; it is too late to consider sewers at this point. We had a
study done in the past where it would cost the City approximately $50,000,000 to replace all
septic tanks with sanitary sewers. We have to develop an overall plan, rather than try to pick and
choose locations for sewers.
Selby Weeks, of Klima Weeks Civil Engineering, advised that if we get to March 2006 and the
lots are still not developed, we could reconsider the placement of a lift station if it is not cost-
prohibitive. At this time, everything in the area is on septic.
Mayor Vandergrift said the City needs to look into preparing properties for sanitary sewer as
we develop them, in order to cut overall costs of citywide conversion to sanitary sewers. He
would like to have staff look into extending the backbone of the sewer systems into our
neighborhoods as these new developments occur, since we do not know what state requirements
will be in the future. We should also look into reuse lines during new sewer planning.
Mayor Vandergrift opened the Public Hearing. There being no one wishing to comment,
Mayor Vandergrift closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, moved to
approve the Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan for the Foote property located at
the northwest corner of Bluford Avenue and Orlando Avenue. Motion carried 5-0.
The consensus of the Commission, without objection, was to have staff brina
back information and costs of doina a citywide study for sewer and reuse water,
broken into sections, and placina an emphasis on the downtown area.
City Attorney Rosenthal stated that the Drainage and Stormwater Agreement and Non-
Exclusive Temporary Construction Easement Agreement have to be approved by separate
motion.
Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, moved to
approve the execution of the Drainaae and Stormwater Aareement and Non-
Exclusive Temporary Construction Easement Aareement. Motion carried 5-0.
b. Two (2) Right-of-Way Vacation Resolutions for Cumberland Avenue and Washington
Street. (Advertised in Orlando Sentinel Orange Extra on Thursday, October 27, 2005)
Washington Street and Cumberland Avenue are unimproved roadways with sixty-foot rights-of way. Neither
roadway is a collector or an arterial roadway. The Applicant is requesting the City of Ocoee to vacate both
roadways in order to facilitate the subdivision of the properties into four single-family lots.
City Attorney Rosenthal read the title of the Resolution.
Mayor Vandergrift opened the Public Hearing.
J ames Fleming, 511 Orange Avenue, said we are giving the property owner right-of way valued
at $35,000, and thinks we should require that he donates money to improve the soccer fields.
Commissioner Johnson responded that there are two other homeowners who will receive part
of the property and they have spent a lot of money already to get through this process in the last
18 months.
Mayor Vandergrift closed the Public Hearing.

(Advertised in Orlando Sentinel Orange Extra on Thursday, October 20, 2005).
Based on the analysis contained in the Data & Analysis section of the proposed Wekiva Study Area
Comprehensive Plan Amendments, and the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission, Staff
recommends the Mayor & City Commission transmit the proposed We kiva Study Area Comprehensive

Principal Planner James said there are two Public Hearings regarding this issue, the transmittal
Public Hearing, and the adoption Public Hearing. He advised there is a sign-up sheet at the back
of the room, as required by DCA, for anyone interested in getting additional information when
the Department of Community Affairs issues a "Notice of Intent" to find the proposed
amendment package either in compliance on or not in compliance with Chapter 369, the Wekiva
Parkway and Protection Act and Chapter 163. Principal Planner James gave a PowerPoint
presentation on the proposed Wekiva Study Area Comprehensive Plan Amendments that will be
transmitted to DCA, and explained the process.
Mayor Vandergrift opened the Public Hearing.
R.P. Monacky, 1820 Prairie Lake Blvd. - said that he does not believe that his property has
anything to do with the pollution in the Wekiva basin.

are being caused by septic tanks; he feels that chemicals and lawn fertilizer are the cause.

I G. REGULAR AGENDA
11. Prairie Lake Reserve - Final Subdivision Plan. (Senior Planner Fabre) (this item was
heard after Item #12)
The Prairie Lake Reserve Subdivision will be developed as a private, gated townhome community with fee
simple ownership of the units. The Final Subdivision Plan proposes a total of 168 residential dwelling units on
approximately 39 acres. The Prairie Lake Reserve Final Subdivision Plan includes Tract 'D' (18.36 acres) and
Tract 'K' (20.69 acres) of the Prairie Lake PUD.
Planning Manager Armstrong gave presentation and advised staff s recommendations on the
Prairie Lakes Reserve Subdivision.
Randy June, June Engineering Consultants, said they concur with all of the conditions
recommended by staff with the exception of the secondary access. Since 2003, they have been
through a continuous negotiation process regarding roads, drainage, access, landscaping, and
layout, etc. He said he agreed with Commission to provide the secondary access, in an effort to
secure the property. There is Commercial property across the street and he thinks they can
maintain that security by having one access point, with control gates and pedestrian access, and
by widening the entrance to allow emergency vehicles to pass. He said they have agreed to loop
a waterline, and to add an emergency safety light just beyond the proposed emergency access for
the fire station, and demonstrated a willingness to work with an emergency light on Clarke Road.
They asked that, with all they have already added, the City keep the layout the same and approve
the plan without the additional access point.
Planning Manager Armstrong advised that the access points were approved in the original
Prairie Lake PUD Plan, and if we were to make any revisions it would entail amending the PUD
Plan.
Commissioner Hood said he is not in favor of having only one access. He asked if a traffic
study was done, and was told that it was done.
A lengthy discussion ensued among the Commission, Public Works Director Zaitooni, Planning
Manager Armstrong, and Engineer Randy June regarding the traffic flow and signalization,
access points to the property, sidewalks and fencing on the property, and keeping that area to
low-density housing as opposed to apartments. Randy June agreed to share one-third of the cost
of the light signal at Clarke Road and Strosnider.
Glen Woodley, resident - expressed concern about the cost of the town homes under valuing the
homes in Prairie Lakes.
Max Jacobs, resident - said he was concerned about the added traffic capacity with 164 new
homes being built, and said there is already a problem at Clarke Road and A.D. Mims.
Consensus of the Commission was to have staff check out the Iiaht fluctuation at
the intersection of Clarke Road and A.D. Mims.
Mayor Vanderarift, seconded by Commissioner Parker, moved to approve the
Final Subdivision Plan for Prairie lake Reserve date stamped received by the City
on October 6, 2005, subject to the followina conditions:
a. APPROVAL OF THE WAIVER REQUEST PERTAINING TO PROVIDING THE RECREATION FACILITY

Utilities Director Smith explained the process and the need for the two new high-speed service
pumps.
Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, moved to
