FDOT is requesting renewal of this contract at $18,081.69. This amount represents a 3% increase from previous contract period. 4. Approval of Traffic Enforcement Agreement for Villas at Woodsmere Subdivision. (Police Chief Goclon) A traffic enforcement agreement is required by Florida State Statutes 316.006(2) for the Ocoee Police Department to have authority to enforce traffic laws upon the private roads within the limits of the gated subdivisions. THE VILLAS AT WOODSMERE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION, INC., is requesting such an agreement. 5. Approval of Purchase of Computer Equipment/Software. (Police Chief Goclon) The Police Communications budget for FY 05/06 carried over $29,300.00 in Contractual Services (317-516-00-3400) from FY04/05 to relocate radio equipment and an antenna from the old fire station located at 150 N. Bluford Ave. WTEC/Motorola, the company contracted to move the equipment, originally quoted a price of $29,300.00 to complete the work. WTEC/Motorola was able to move the radio equipment and the antenna (without having to relocate the structurally unsound and aesthetically unappealing antenna tower) at a cost of only $16,650.00, resulting in a savings of $12,300.00. With these savings, the Police Department wishes to purchase $8,000.00 Computer Equipment! Software to replace four (4) out of warranty CPUs for the Communications Center. The computers are not budgeted for replacement in the current fiscal year and were most likely going to be replaced in the FY06/07 budget. 6. Approval of the SJWMD Water Protection & Sustainability Program's Cost Share Agreement for the City's Reuse Water System Expansion.

The proposed expansion included in the cost share agreement will include four projects, three of these projects will be retrofitting The Reflections, Reserve, and The Silver Glenn subdivisions with a reuse water system. The fourth project will be extending the reuse main along Blackwood Ave in order to serve Ocoee Commons reuse water. SJRWMD will fund 20% of the projects construction costs up to $510,000.00. The remaining funding for the three subdivision retrofit projects will be funded by the 2003 Utility bond issue and are already included in this year's CIP per the approved Bond Proceed Budget. The remaining portion of the Blackwood Ave. Reuse Main Extension Project has yet to be funded. 7. Approval of Short-Listed Firms for RFQ #0602 Security Systems Installation, Maintenance, and Monitoring Services for City of Ocoee Water Treatment Plants. (Purchasing Agent Tolbert) A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was advertised with the intention of soliciting statements of qualifications from qualified security systems providers to provide installation, maintenance, and monitoring services for the City of Ocoee Water Treatment Plants. The Selection Committee short- listed three (3) service providers and one (1) alternate, based on qualifications, to undertake negotiations so as to award the installation and maintenance of the security systems and provide the monitoring services to one (1) of the short-listed service providers. The term contract for the maintenance and monitoring will automatically renew annually with annual cost escalations and terms to be determined during the negotiation process. Staff recommends the City Commission: l) Approve the short-listed firms and one (1) alternate firm for RFQ #0602; 2) Authorize staff to proceed with proposal negotiations with Access Limited Inc., Quality Communications Fire & Security Inc., and ADT Security Services Inc., and if necessary, negotiate with Wunderlich-Malec Systems as the alternate firm.

Ordinance Creating a Trust Fund for the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). (Advertised Orlando Sentinel Legal Classified on Thursday, May 25. 2006). (Assistant City Manager Croteau) On September 21, 2004, the City Council adopted a resolution finding a certain defmed area of the City of Ocoee had conditions of "blight" as that term is defined in the Community Redevelopment Act. The steps in the process of redeveloping that area in accordance with the Act are: (i) create a Community Redevelopment Agency; (ii) adopt a redevelopment plan; and (iii) create a redevelopment trust fund and provide for the deposit therein of increment revenues attributed to the redevelopment area. The Redevelopment Act states that in a county that has adopted a home rule charter all redevelopment powers are vested in the county. A municipality located within such a county may exercise redevelopment powers under the Act only if the governing body of the county has delegated those powers to the governing body of the city. ~ 163.400, Florida Statutes. Orange County had adopted a home rule charter. On March 2l, 2006, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved the CRA Resolution, and an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Ocoee delegating authority for creating and managing a community redevelopment agency to the City. The City approved the ordinance officially creating the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) on April 18, 2006. Page 3 of5 City Commission Regular June 6, 2006 Modifications to Chapter 143 – Solid Waste Ordinance. 12. (Advertised in Orlando (Assistant Public Works Director . Sentinel Orange Extra on Thursday, May 25, 2006) Elliott) In order to implement the changes in service previously approved by the City Commission to the City’s solid waste services, it is necessary to revise Chapter 143 of the City Code (Solid Waste). The revisions included primarily effect the residential curbside services as highlighted in the attached ordinance. Specifically, the changes (i) authorize the use of an additional garbage cart for residential customers for an additional charge, (ii) provide for the collection of up to 10 bulk items or 4 cubic feet of bulk waste per month, whichever is greater, (iii) provides for the City Commission to establish deposit fees by resolution, (iv) authorizes the City to collect a payment in lieu of franchise fee not to exceed 25% if it provides collection services in lieu of a franchisee, and (v) allows the City Commission to establish by resolution a procedure for customers to “opt out” of the non-ad valorem assessment for solid waste collection and pay charges directly to the City on a monthly basis. G.ORDINANCE FIRST READING – PUBLIC HEARING Land Development Code Amendment – Illegal Non-Conforming Sites and 13. Structure Ordinance. (Second Reading Scheduled for June 20, 2006).(Advertised Orlando (Principal Planner James) . Sentinel Legal Classified on Thursday, May 25, 2006) Currently, there are no Land Development Code (LDC) provisions requiring properties or structures to be brought back into compliance with the City regulations when a portion of the property is conveyed or transferred to a governmental or quasi-governmental entity, such as for a roadway widening project. This specific problem area was highlighted during the right-of-way purchases or “takings” by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the eventual 6-lane widening of SR 50/Colonial Drive. Properties along this roadway were originally required to fulfill the City’s requirements concerning landscaping, buffers/setbacks, signage and parking. In many instances, these requirements reflected the enhanced standards that were adopted for the State Road 50 Activity Center. After the proposed right-of-way takings, many of these properties and/or structures will no longer meet the Land Development Code requirements. This amendment would make the properties or structures illegal and non-conforming, and outline a process to bring these properties back in compliance with the LDC. This new subsection will apply to all properties within the City not just those along SR 50/Colonial Drive. H.REGULAR AGENDA Ocoee Crown Point PUD, RFP #06-001 – Developer Recommendation. (City 14. Manager Frank and Community Development Director Wagner) On December 6, 2005, the Mayor and City Commissioners authorized City Staff to advertise a Request for Proposal (RFP) for sale of residential land within the Ocoee Crown Point PUD. This RFP identified numerous design parameters each developer would be required to include in their respective proposals. This ensured that all respondents had an equal opportunity to bid on the project. Over 20 developers picked up the initial RFP packet. A mandatory Pre-Proposal conference was held with the prospective applicants to go over the very detailed design requirements contained within the RFP and to answer any questions regarding an extensive list of due diligence materials provided to each developer. All pertinent RFP response requirements were also addressed to ensure that each respondent would provide the correct materials in the proper format. Based upon a very detailed and exhaustive review of each respondent’s RFP proposal, including all additional interviews and site visits, the City Manager and staff were unanimous in their opinion that the Centex proposal offered the best price, character of development and design quality by a clear margin over the other two proposals, with Ryland ranked number two and KB Homes ranked number three. Page 4 of 5 City Commission Regular June 6, 2006 15. Approval of West Road Development Agreement. (Community Development Director Wagner) The City has been negotiating for several months with the developer of the Fountains West Shopping Center regarding the needed realignment of West Road at its intersection with Ocoee-Apopka Road. In order to proceed with the proposed land use change to the Comprehensive Plan and process the rezoning of the property to PUD, the City has required the developer to rework the off-set intersection to be consistent with the Orange County plans for construction of the new Clarcona-Ocoee Road widening and realignment. The proposed tri-party agreement, which has already been approved by Orange County staff and the developer, provides for the abandonment of the existing West Road and the construction of a new, relocated road to match up with Ocoee Crown Point Parkway. This agreement requires contributions from all three parties to ensure that this work may be accomplished to not only solve the short-term traffic problem, but also to set the stage for a long-term solution once the County moves ahead with the Clarcona-Ocoee project. 16. Approval of Three-Year Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City and Teamster Local 385. (Human Resources Director Carnicella) This collective Bargaining Agreement governs the terms and conditions of employment for Police Officers covered under the Teamsters Union. The financial impact of this Collective Bargaining Agreement will be funded in the following manner: $20,000 from Contingency that was already budgeted for Police Department salary changes from the HRMP salary study, $72,826 budgeted for COLA & merit increases and an additional $ll9,237 savings from the Police Dept. salary line item as a result of unfilled vacancies within the department (total cost of$2l2,063). 17. Appointment to the Citizen Advisory Council for Ocoee Police Department. (City Clerk Eikenberry) Members of the Citizen Advisory Council for Ocoee Police Department serve three-year terms. The Resolution creating the Board allows no more than fifteen (l5) members. The board currently has fourteen (14) members. Two (2) applications were recently submitted. Fred Wilsen (District 2) and David Ball (District l). Staff recommends the City Commission consider appointing Fred Wilsen or David Ball to the Citizen Advisory Council for Ocoee Police Department with a term ending January 1, 2009. 18.
