2. Appointment to the Park and Recreation Advisory Board. (City Clerk Eikenberry)
Members of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board serve two-year terms. Currently the board has ten (10)
members. The Resolution provides that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board membership shall consist of
thirteen (13) members. One application was on file for the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board; therefore staff

Page 2
City Commission Regular
May 2, 2006
The external auditors recommend the City amend its investment policy requiring a cap on the percentage of the
portfolio invested in certain types of issues. Staff was not in compliance with the City's investment policy during
FY2005. Interest rates on an issue type which is restricted to only 25% of the portfolio offered an opportunity to
earn the highest yield at the time of investing. Staff took advantage of the opportunity thus exceeding the 25% cap.
Staff recommends the Commission approve the revised Investment policy reflecting the removal of the percentage
caps contained in the policy, which appeared under Authorized Investments and Maximum Maturities (p.4).
Approved on Consent Aaenda Vote. Motion carried 5-0.
5. Approval of Plat for Villas at Woodsmere. (City Engineer Wheeler)
The Villas at Woodsmere multi-family residential development is an undeveloped parcel bound by Oood Homes
Plaza to the North and West, by Rose Hill Subdivision on the north and by Good Homes Road on the East. This plat
is for a 6.38-acre multi-family residential development, which consists of 64 townhouse units. All required
documentation pertaining to the platting of this development has been reviewed and approved by City staff. The
Performance Surety Escrow Agreement has been submitted with a check to replace the required performance bond,
which covers 115% or the remaining site improvements.
Approved on Consent Aaenda Vote. Motion carried 5-0.
6. Approval of Conversion of South Water Plant and Forest Oaks Water Plant to Bulk
Supply Liquid Chlorine. (Utilities Director Smith)
Currently, both the South and Forest Oaks water plants use free chlorine as the primary method of water treatment.
Each plant uses "on-site generation" to create liquid chlorine. The unit's process equipment, which is used to
generate the chlorine, has reached the end of its' service life (ten years) cycle and needs to be either refurbished or
replaced with another source of liquid chlorine. Wherein staff is recommending the purchase of bulk chlorine
supply. To be able to convert the water treatment plants to bulk chlorine, the chlorine feed system and dosing
pumps will need to be replaced as opposed to the replacement of the chlorine generators. This action is subject to
City Commission approving F.Y. 2005/2006 Mid Year Budget, which includes funding for conversion projects.
Staff is recommending the awarding of the conversion work to Guardian Equipment, Inc. and will be piggybacking
off of Guardian's contract with Seminole County in the amount of $18,386.50 for the South Water Plant and
$18,772.00 for the Forest Oaks Water Plant; and staff also recommends that it procure liquid bleach needed for the
remainder of fiscal year 2005/2006 from Odyssey. Inc. and will be piggybacking the Odyssey contract with the City
of Mulberry, Florida, in a not to exceed amount of $35,000.00.
Approved on Consent Aaenda Vote. Motion carried 5-0.
7. Approval of Purchase of Computer Hardware for Line Upgrades and New Computer
for Water Conservation Coordinator. (Utilities Director Smith)

Department and City Hall's main server. The cost to upgrade the connection is $6300.00 and $300 per month for
the use of the T -1 circuit service line. In addition, the Utilities Department is requesting that new desktop PC be
purchased for the Water Conservation Coordinator who currently does not have a computer. The cost for the new
computer will be $2300.00.
Approved on Consent Aaenda Vote. Motion carried 5-0.
8. Approval of City Contract with Sprint to Provide Redundant Phone Service to the EOC
at a Total Cost of $27,220. (Information Systems Director Ross)
Currently, Sprint provides all telecommunications services to the EOC from the same facility. Therefore, when that
facility is offline, the EOC is without any telecommunication services. Staff proposes having Sprint install
redundant telecommunications lines from a different facility as a backup.
Approved on Consent Aaenda Vote. Motion carried 5-0.
9. Approval for Use of Seminole County Contract IFB-3110305/GMG for Construction
Maintenance of Traffic Signals. (public Works Director Zaitooni)
In preparation for construction of the proposed new and modification of existing traffic signals in current fiscal year
and FY 2006-07, staff is proposing (1) use of Seminole County's Term Contract IFB-311 0-05/GMG-AlB, for
Page 3

Devices, Inc. and Chinchor Electric, Inc.; and (2) authorize staff to issue purchase orders to Traffic Control Devices,
Inc. or Chinchor Electric, Inc., based on unit prices specified in Term Contract IFB-311 0-05/GMG-AlB.
Approved on Consent Aaenda Vote. Motion carried 5-0.
Commissioner Anderson asked Utilities Director Smith, regarding Item #6 if the liquid cWorine
would create an additional cost to the City. Mr. Smith advised the 20-year cost analysis was
included in the packet, and there is an approximate $400,000 savings.
Commissioner Anderson asked Information Systems Director Ross, regarding Item #8, would
this proposed system for the EOC phone system be separate from the current system so that we
won't lose both systems at once. Mr. Ross advised that this will be a separate set of lines coming
from a different area of town, and our third fall back would be the Verizon air cards.
Mayor Vanderarift, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, moved to direct staff
to look into budaetina for an emeraency radio station which would be able to
broadcast to anyone with a portable radio. Motion carried 5-0.
Consent Aaenda Vote

Commissioner Johnson said he would like the Commission to address increasing the City
Manager's salary. He said we need to compare his salary to other municipalities in the area. He
thinks he is doing a great job, and does not want to lose him because the pay is lower than
comparative cities. He asked if we would need to budget for this. Finance Director Horton
advised that there would need to be a budget adjustment, unless the City Manager's Budget
could absorb the cost, or money was transferred from contingency.

Ocoee Municipal Police Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement Trust Fund is governed by ordinance. The Pension
Attorney, Lee Dehner, has advised the Boards that a change is required by law resulting from amendments to the

I H. REGULAR AGENDA
12. Ingram Trails. (Planning Manager Armstrong)
The Ingram Trails property includes approximately 20.482 acres. The property is located on the southwest side of
Ingram Road near the intersection of Ingram Road and Clarcona-Ocoee Road. The subject property contains a
house, several agricultural buildings as part of a former horse farm operation, with a mixture of secondary growth
trees at the north 1/3 of the property. Based on the recommendation of the DRC and the Planning and Zoning
Commission, Staff respectfully recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Ingram
Road and Clarcona-Ocoee Road Escrow Agreement and the Final Subdivision Plan for Ingram Trails, as date
stamped received by the City on April 6, 2006, subject to the following: The response letter indicates that easement
documents are being obtained for the offsite 15' utility easement; the 15' drainage easement and the 11' trail access
easement. These are to be submitted prior to the time of platting.

City Commission Regular
May 2, 2006
Planning Manager Armstrong gave a PowerPoint presentation of this development. She
advised the applicant said he would look into an alternative covered meeting space so that this
facility could be used year round.
Discussion followed regarding 1) the design and location of the retention pond and possibly
using the retention pond area as a sporting field, and 2) the open-air meeting pavilion vs. closed
meeting room; Commissioner Anderson raised the question of possibly allowing HOA's free
use of City facilities for meetings if the Commission approves an open air pavilion.
City Attorney Rosenthal said the rental charges of the cities facilities is a much broader issue
and it would be difficult to keep track of which HOA's would have exemption from such fees.
He also stated that Commission previously concluded that the per-lot financial cost of
maintaining a closed meeting room would add significantly to their monthly maintenance
assessment for HOA's with less than 100 homes.
Planning Manager Armstrong advised the threshold for requiring a closed meeting room is
100 single family units and this development will have only 55 and therefore meets Code
requirements.
Tom Daley, of Daley Design Group, said the builders have not looked into other options for a
meeting room at this time.
Planning Manager Armstrong advised that the agreement with Orange County is going to
Orange County for approval after the City approves it.
Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner. Hood, moved to approve the
Final Subdivision Plan and Development Aareement for Inaram Trails per staff
recommendation. Motion carried 5-0.
13. Appointment to MetroPlan Orlando's Citizens' Advisory Committee. (City Clerk
Eikenberry)
The Metroplan Orlando, a regional transportation partnership, formed a Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAe),
which meets the fourth Wednesday of every month. The CAC ensures the public has the opportunity to review and
evaluate all proposed transportation plans and programs. CAC members serve four-year terms. Each Municipality
in the region has the opportunity to appoint a citizen representative to the Board. Ms. Debra Booth served a four-
year term, which expired April 2006.
City Clerk Eikenberry advised that she did speak with Ms. Debra Booth and she is unable to
continue serving on this board.
Mayor Vanderarift, seconded Commissioner Anderson, moved to appoint Rob
McKey to the MetroPlan Orlando's Citizens' Advisory Committee for a four year
term. Motion carried 5-0.
14. Appointment to the Code Enforcement Board. (City Clerk Eikenberry)
The Code Enforcement Board is to have seven (7) regular members and two (2) alternate members, all with three-
year terms. The board currently consists of six (6) regular members and two (2) alternate members. Regular
Member Carol Amey resigned in March and Alternate Member Denise Lenko stated at the last meeting that she
would be resigning from the board this month due to relocation. Ms. Lenko said her last meeting would be April 25,
2006. Therefore, there is currently one (1) regular member position available and will be one (1) alternate member
position available. Alternate Member Steve Ballard (District 2) has stated his interest in being appointed as a
regular member. Two applications have been submitted for a position on the board as well: Shelly Simon (District
4) and Darrell Lowery (District 2). Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners move
Steve Ballard to a regular member, and appoint Darrell Lowery and Shelly Simon as alternate members to the COde
Enforcement Board.

Commissioner Keller, seconded Commissioner Johnson, made a motion to move

15. Approval of Second Amendment to Yard Waste & Bulky Waste Contract with Onyx
Waste Services for Early Termination of Service. (Public Works Director Zaitooni)
Onyx Waste Services, Inc. had made a request for an early termination of their residential yard waste & bulky waste
Agreement with the City. On March 21, 2006, City Commission directed staff to pursue an amendment to the
residential yard waste & bulky waste with Onyx Waste Services, Inc. Therefore, pursuant to the City Commission's
approval of the in-house residential curbside, staff has prepared amendment #2 to the residential yard waste & bulky
waste Agreement with Onyx Waste Services, Inc. The Amendment will provide for the early termination of the
contract and transition to an in-house service, address contractor default, and provide for mutual releases and
cooperation between the parties.
This item was pulled from the aaenda per staff recommendation, to be placed on
the May 16, 2006 aaenda.
16. Approval of Agreement with Orange County Tax Collector Regarding Assessing Fees
for Solid Waste and Stormwater Services on the Orange County Tax Roll. (Public
Works Director Zaitooni)
City Commission has formerly approved Resolutions 2006-002 and 2006-003 to place the Residential Solid Waste
and Stormwater Utility Fees on the Orange County Tax Roll by authorizing the utilization of a uniform method of
collection of non-advalorem assessments. This Agreement between the City and the Orange County Tax Collector
details the terms of the Agreement for the assessment, enforcement, and compensation for the administrative costs
incurred by Orange County Tax Collector.
Tonya Elliott advised that staff recommendation was to approve the agreement with the Orange
County Tax Collector as part of the process for placing solid waste and stormwater utility fees on
the annual tax roll.
Henry Morgan, 304 South Lakeshore Drive, 1) asked what staff found out regarding the opt-out
provision, 2) said the City will not hear about residents' objections to this until they get their first
tax bill, 3) said there are no calculations that backup a significant savings to the City and it does
not benefit the 9200 residents who are currently paying utility bills
City Attorney Rosenthal advised that there is no provision in Florida Statutes that address a
concept of opting out of a "Uniform Method of Collection" although the process by which this is
handled is that staff sends an assessment roll to the Property Appraiser who coordinates with the
tax collector. There are some procedures in place for new accounts, to bill them montWy until
they can be placed on the next tax roll. After some research, their thoughts were that it may be
possible to amend the ordinance to address a procedure to exclude someone from the assessment
roll that is transmitted to the property appraiser, and then provide them with montWy billing. It is
not currently in our code and no procedures are in place. He would not advise giving specific
people the option of opting out of the uniform method of collection without extending that option
to everyone by including language in the amended ordinance to give the Commission the option
to provide opt-out procedures, but it would clearly not be in place for the first assessment roll.
Page 7
City Commission Regular
May 2, 2006
Discussion followed with Public Works Director Zaitooni and the Commission regarding 1) how
the money will be received from the County, 2) the additional money that will be made because
we will be able to collect from some customers we currently do not collect from, 3) how the
money will be escrowed differently for all residents depending on their mortgage company, 4)
implementing an opt-out program in the second year if the Commission chooses to do so, 5)
dropping the concept of the opt out and either go with the Uniform Method of Collection or stay
with the monthly billing, 6) how much real profit/interest will be gained for the City, 7) the
possibility of lowering service fees to residents if profit is realized, 8) real estate taxes are
collected at 90-95% during the first three months, 9) Orange County will charge $.56 per parcel
for collecting the fees, which is paid by the City, 10) considering charging residents $.59 who
opt out and wish to continue monthly billing
Max Jacobs, 2247 Mountain Spruce Street, said that this is going to be a hit for the residents,
and this is much worse than the increase in the taxes. He thinks the residents are not prepared for
what is going to happen, and the City will understand that at tax time. He says that decisions are
made for the City and not for the residents
Mayor Vandergrift said he would like to clarify that, unlike taxes, this is your money (the
residents). Money that is placed in escrow, remains there until it is needed to pay bills; if you
sell your house tomorrow, or go to the opt-out provision, you can get the money in your escrow
account back.
Commissioner Johnson, seconded Commissioner Keller, moved to direct staff
not to transmit the assessment to Oranae County to place solid waste fees on the
tax roll, and to prepare a resolution to repeal the previous resolution approvina
the uniform method of collection. Motion failed 2-3, with Commissioner Hood,
Commissioner Anderson, and Mayor Vanderarift opposed.
Commissioner Hood, seconded Commissioner Anderson, moved to approve the
aareement with the Oranae County Tax Collector as part of the process for
placina solid waste and stormwater utility fees on the annual tax roll, per staff
recommendations. Motion carried 3-2, with Commissioner Keller and
Commissioner Johnson opposed.
