7:20 PM Aleida Verdasco, 1711 Sparkling Water Circle, briefly shared her concerns regarding
the City's method of communication to residents on topics or events going on in the City and the
lack of use of social media by the City. It was discussed that the City's website and "News to
You" newsletter provides information on upcoming events including contact information for the
Commissioners. Further discussion ensued regarding social media not being accurate since it
allows for anyone to comment or vent, information on events or meetings possibly being placed
in the water bills, and Florida law requiring that public notices be published in a newspaper.

slideshow of the Fundraiser Event for Officer Trista Blake that was held at Frank's Place in

7:42 PM Nali Wallace, 1925 Crown Point Parkway, announced that he is with the Minority
Leadership Scholars (MLS) of Ocoee High School and they want to do a community health fair
and bring the community together. He asked for help getting the word out by placing information
about the health fair in the City's water bill, and help getting medical professionals to participate
in this event. Mayor Grogan advised if they make the flyers one page it can be placed in the
water bill. Commissioner Wilsen inquired if the event could be advertised on the Ocoee T.V.

3. Approval of the Consent to the Sale or Transfer of the Operating Entity —Rural/Metro
Corporation of Florida, d/b/a Rural/Metro Ambulance. (Fire Chief Miller)
On September 1, 2012, the City of Ocoee and Rural/Metro Corporation of Florida, d/b/a Rural/Metro
Ambulance, entered into an agreement for emergency ambulance transportation services. On July 30, 2015,
Rural/Metro Corporation and American Medical Response (AMR) announced that AMR HoldCo., Inc., Ranch
Merger Sub, Inc., and WP Rocket Holdings, Inc., entered into a merger agreement. As a result, Rural/Metro
Corporation will become an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc., and an
affiliate of AMR.
While this change will not result in a change of ownership for Rural/Metro Corporation of Florida, there is a
change of ownership of the parent company. For this reason and in an abundance of caution, Rural/Metro
Corporation has requested that the City of Ocoee consent to this transfer pursuant to Section 29 of the
Agreement.All other terms and conditions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 4-0.
4. Approval to Purchase New Truck Tires and Sole Source Truck Tire Recapping.
(Public Works Director Krug) t: "s
The Fleet Division budget includes annual replacement of truck tires.The City has researched pricing and found
Boulevard Tire Center provides the lowest pricing available through the Florida Sheriffs Association
Cooperative Bid for Tires & Related Services. The majority of the truck tires replaced during the year are for
the Sanitation Division's fleet.
When available, the City previously piggybacked off existing municipal contracts for recapped tires. The City
has again contacted the local recapped tire distributors/manufacturers, and they do not have existing contracts
the City can utilize. Public Works recommends awarding a purchase order to Boulevard Tire Center, as in
previous fiscal years, based on pricing from the Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Bid for Tires &
Related Services for new truck tires. Public Works also recommends awarding a sole source purchase order to
Boulevard Tire Center for recapped truck tires.
Commissioner Wilsen clarified that when we piggyback on the state contracts do we
generally get the best price. Public Works Director Krug said that is generally the case
because they set their prices based on larger number of jobs throughout the state. He added
that they do check for local vendors as well to make sure they can't offer a better service
and/or price. We use local vendors as often as possible.

5. Approval to Dispose of Surplus Sanitation Trucks. (Public Works Director Krug)
The Commission declared Sanitation trucks 742, 744 & 749 surplus at the September 1, 2015 meeting per
Florida Statute 274, in order to properly dispose of them. George Gideon Auctioneers, Inc., (Gideon) has
advertised the trucks through on-line auctions with minimum pricing reserves set on all three trucks totaling
$94,000.00.The reserve pricing was estimated in the 2014/2015 budget based on the anticipated future value of
the trucks at time of disposal. The bids received to date on the closed auctions total$68,000.00.The reduced bid
pricing is based on the trucks now being ten(10)years old with bodies that require significant repair work to be.
utilized again in service.
In previous years, Public Works successfully sought out potential vendors outside of our State network.
Following several site inspections this year from truck vending firms, Public Works was informed the market
now holds a low interest in the pre-emission trucks we are offering.Due to the low demand for the two(2)2006
side-arm load trucks and one (1) 2006 recycling truck, Public Works recommends Commission approval for
Gideon to accept offers below the current reserves that are in line with the used truck market and per staff
concurrence.The anticipated revenue will be realized in the current fiscal year.

vendors marketing central Florida, and again found CSDI to have the lowest pricing available through an
existing contract with the City of St.Petersburg.Public Works recommends utilizing this contract to install 242

I. STAFF ACTION ITEMS .�
J. COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS 7:53 PM
Commissioner Wilsen asked Police Chief Brown about interference from Founder's Day
events. She has residents that feel that they are being held captive in their homes for two days;
the addition of the new signs may have added confusion and concerns. Police Chief Brown said
that anyone on the east side of Bluford can contact him personally or Lt. Wagner (via dispatch)
and they will assist them individually with any mobility problems. He said they are using the
same traffic control patterns that have been successful in the past; and they will make any
concessions needed for affected businesses or residents during the event.
Commissioner Johnson-none
Commissioner Keller-announced the Run-off election November 24, 2015, polling locations are
the same at the Jim Beech Center and the Lakeshore Center. Early voting November 16-20th at
119 W Kaley St, and requests for absentee ballots can be obtained from Orange County
Supervisor of Election, 407 836-2070 or on www.ocfelections.com
Commissioner Wilsen asked about a facilitator for the next Charter Review; she saw the email
sent out showing the Winter Garden contract for $4000 several years ago, but she wanted us to
contact Ms. Crotty to find out how much she would charge us. City Manager Frank said he
obtained and emailed that information out; Marilyn Crotty advised the cost would be $5000.
Commissioner Wilsen said she would like to find a way to get that into the budget because she
feels it is desperately needed after the March election is completed.
