At the City Commission Meeting on July 19, 2005, staff recommended the following locations which City Commission later approved at the Budget Workshops in August of2005, Orlando Avenue, A.D. Mims Road, and Maguire Road. City Commission also included asking City Staff to get proposals for Lakeshore Drive and Rachel's Loop. The HOA on Rachel's Loop within the White Hill Subdivision has asked for decorative lights, which is an upgrade; the City will only pay the cost for standard lighting with Rachel's Loop's HOA being responsible for the balance due to the upgrade to decorative lighting. The Rachel's Ridge Proposal calls for the addition of 3 lights and light poles. The Lakeshore Drive proposal calls for 6 additional poles at the end of Lakeshore Drive behind the school and close to Strake Lake.

Staff respectfully recommends the City Commission approve the Progress Energy proposals for Lakeshore Drive and Rachel's Ridge. IF. PUBLIC HEARINGS - SECOND READING I 10. Proposed Ordinance Chapter 136 - Sexual Offenders and Sexual Predators - Child Protection Recommendation Committee. (Second Reading and Public Hearing should be continued until September 5, 2006, to allow time for Advertisement of Public Hearing.) (Deputy Police Chief Goclon) The Child Protection Recommendation Committee (CPRC - a citizen board authorized by the City Commission to make recommendations to help keep children in the community safe) is deeply concerned about recent occurrences in our state and elsewhere, whereby convicted sexual offenders and sexual predators who have been released from custody repeat the unlawful acts for which they had originally been convicted. The CPRC recommends City adoption of an ordinance that provides heightened protection of the lives and persons in the City of Ocoee and would prohibit sexual offenders and sexual predators from establishing a residence within two thousand five hundred (2,500) feet of certain locations within the City. The Child Protection Recommendation Committee recommends that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners adopt the proposed City Ordinance Chapter 136 - Sexual Offenders and Sexual Predators and that the City implement a background check application for people who volunteer for City boards and who help with City programs. The ordinance allows for a $1000.00 a day penalty for violations of the ordinance. As violations could result in imprisonment, the cases have to be heard by a criminal court judge. Nominal court fees may be assessed to the City if the violator is found "not guilty." I G. REGULAR AGENDA I 11. Discussion Regarding Creation of Landscape Committee. 12. Discussion Regarding Schools.
