3. Approval of the 2014/2015 Sanitation Division Capital Outlay Revision. (Public Works
Director Krug)
31Page
Regular Commission Meeting
January 6, 2015
The City implemented the revised recycling collection program in August 2014, changing from manually
collecting recycled materials in bins to automated collection using 96 gallon carts with the side arm loading
(SAL) trucks as employed in the City's residential collection. Based on neighboring Municipalities'
experience, Public Works conservatively projected increased recycling volumes which would be handled by
three (3) SAL trucks. Participation in the revised recycle program has exceeded projections, more than
doubling the anticipated volume and requiring five (5) SAL trucks to collect the increased recyclables. Utilizing
the five (5) SAL trucks for recycling has changed the operational needs of Sanitation.
Public Works has analyzed the effects of the overwhelming recycling participation and determined both of the
SAL trucks slated for surplus this year will need to be replaced in order to maintain a serviceable truck fleet in
Sanitation. The current Sanitation budget includes a single SAL., replacement, surplus of two nine (9) year old
SAL trucks, along with adding a chipper truck operation to revise our process of collecting tree debris. The
revision to the tree debris collection will need to be curtailed as the Team Members to be assigned to the
operation are being utilized to meet the recycling demands. Public Works is requesting the Commission
approve Public Works' request to revise the Sanitation Division's Capital Outlay to delete the proposed chipper
truck and chipper in order to include an additional SAL truck. This requested revision is adequately funded
within the existing Sanitation Capital Outlay budget.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.
4. Approval of Purchase of New Air Packs for the Fire Department. (Interim Fire Chief
Hoover)
The Ocoee Fire Department has been using Scott Air Packs for the last 11 years without any complaints or
problems. "These current Air Packs are reaching the end of their life cycle and new editions of NFPA 1981/1982
standards have made these packs obsolete. The Ocoee Fire Department is seeking the approval from the
commission to move forward in the acquisition of new Scott X3 Air Packs to replace our current Scott Air
Packs in an effort to upgrade to the current edition of NFPA standards arid provide additional firefighter safety.
Our neighboring fire departments, Winter Garden and Orange County, are also moving toward replacing their
current Air Packs with the same Scott Air Pack, so by also making the change to these Air Packs will provide
all three departments with uniformity in Air Pack operations and aid in training and /or emergency operations.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.
Approval of Contracting with IBI Group (Florida) Inc, for the Installation of an 8 inch
Reuse Main in Conjunction with the Spring Lake Reserve Subdivision. (City Engineer
Wheeler)
The Spring Lake Reserve subdivision was approved by the City Cornmission on July 1, 2014, and began
construction shortly afterward. The IBI Group (Florida) Inc. project consisted of installing the infrastructure
representative of a residential subdivision for 97 single family homes. The development has connected to the
City's potable system on A.D. Mims Road and an extension off of Sparkling Water Circle in the Reflections
subdivision and the sanitary sewer lift station located in the Reflections subdivision on Sparkling Water Drive.
Connection to the City's reuse system was made to the pipeline on A.D. Mims Road.
The Ocoee Utilities Department has been experiencing some low pressures along Sparkling Water Circle and
has determined that connecting the Spring Lake Reserve reuse piping to the reuse system on Sparkling Water
Circle will alleviate these low pressures and allow for proper operation and coverage of the residents irrigation
systems. The Reflections subdivision is supplied reuse water through connections fi Clarke Road. Based
upon hydraulic modeling, this third connection into the "backside" of Reflections will alleviate the low pressure
issue.
IBI Group was approached about installing this connection between the subdivisions. Their contractor agreed
to perform the work based upon prices established for his constructing the Spring Lake Reserve infrastructure.
IBI Group has offered to not add any mark up on their contractor's proposal. Therefore the cost to install this 8
inch reuse pipeline will be $19,183.79.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.

6. Approval of Resolution for the Installation of Street Lighting on SR 50 as part of
FDOT's Widening Project from Good Homes Road to the Entrance to the West Oaks
Mall. (City Engineer Wheeler)
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is nearing completion of the widening of the portion of SR
50 from Good Homes Road to the entrance to the West Oaks Mall. FDOT and the City have been working
together to have street lights installed along this portion of the road widening project. FDOT originally designed
high pressure sodium (HPS) lights for this section of the road widening and secured a bid from Lane
Construction Company for the installation as part of the overall project. This is FDOT's standard design - HPS
lights on 40 foot poles.
The City wanted to look at using L,ED lights as opposed to the UPS lights. City staff looked to move towards
newer technology lighting; and FDOT has allowed LED lights on a few highway projects as test cases. Two
main options were explored: the City designing, permitting, and constructing the lights or the City contracting
with Duke Energy Florida, Inc. to design, permit and install the lights. Duke Energy provided the City with a
cost proposal to design, permit, and install the LED street light system for this section of the SR 50 widening.
Duke Energy will perform routine maintenance, repairs and replacements as needed, and maintain an inventory
of pieces, parts, fixtures, poles, etc. Duke Energy already has the trained personnel and equipment needed to
install and maintain the lighting system. Duke Energy's proposal to install the LED light system on the section
of SR 50 from Good Homes Road to the entrance to the West Oaks Mall is for $119,464.84.
FDOT is offering funding to the City for the installation of the LED street lights. The funding is not required to
be reimbursed, provided the City meets the terms and conditions of the Joint Participation Agreement. The
amount of funding being offered by FDOT is up to $120,000 to cover the cost of the installation of the street
lights. Lacking this agreement, the City would have to pay for the entire lighting project out of its own funds.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.
7. Approval of the Amended 2014 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant
(JAG) Application 2015 -JAGC -2441. (Police Chief Brown)
This year, $10,645.00 has been made available for the City of Ocoee Police Department through the Edward
Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). The Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Formula
Program Committee wishes to submit the attached 51% Letter to the Office of Criminal Justice Grants in
Tallahassee. This letter lists the various programs for which the participating law enforcement agencies in
Orange County plan to spend the $342,874.00 allocated to them. The letter and accompanying grant application
must be signed by the Mayor. If approved, the City of Ocoee will receive $10,645.00 to purchase mobile rapid
ID fingerprint technology. Oftentimes, people who do not wish to reveal their true identities to law
enforcement officers will give false names and claim not to have identification on their persons. Gains in
technology have allowed law enforcement officers to identify people who have fingerprints on file by means of
electronic mobile rapid ID fingerprint scanners. By scanning a fingerprint and wirelessly transmitting that print
to be checked against electronic databases, officers can learn the identity of people in seconds, as opposed to the
hours or days of older models. The City of Ocoee Police Department has purchased, tested, and evaluated
Mobile Wireless Fingerprint Scanners. These mobile rapid ID fingerprint scanners enable officers on the street
to quickly identify individuals by cross matching their fingerprints against the FDLE database. The agency
would like to purchase five (5) mobile rapid ID scanners, related software, warranty, and maintenance contracts
with the money from the grant.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.
8. Approval of Purchase of Police Full Service K9 (and all associated medical and training
costs). (Police Chief Brown)
The City of Ocoee Police Department's K9 program currently has two officers assigned to the unit. One officer
has a full service K9 (Nitro) while the other officer has a narcotics only K9. The narcotics only K9 (Ajsa) is in
declining health, and it is the recommendation of her veterinarian that she be retired as continued service will
only accelerate her decline. In order to continue this valuable program and enhance its capabilities, the agency
wishes to utilize State forfeiture funds to purchase and train a full service K9 to replace Ajsa. Full service police
dogs can provide narcotics detection, conduct searches for missing and endangered persons, and evidence, as
5 1Page

well as provide criminal tracking and apprehension. The estimated cost to purchase and train a new K9 and to
have it medically examined prior to purchase is $12,000.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 4 -0 with Mayor Vandergrift absent.
9. Approval of Transfer of Ownership of Retiring Police K9 AJSA. (Police Chief Brown)
The City of Ocoee Police Department's K9 program currently has two officers assigned to the unit. One of the
police K9s, Ajsa, is in declining health, and it is the recommendation of her veterinarian that she be retired as
continued service will only accelerate her decline. Ocoee Police Department must find a home for Ajsa. The
Ocoee Police Department has found a suitable party, Mr. Jordan Rehn, who is ready to provide a home to Ajsa
in her retirement years. Mr. Rehn is associated with Greenbriar Pet Cemetery and has a unique background and
familiarization with police K9s, being the son of a neighboring police department's K9 trainer.
