4. Approval of Ocoee Crown Point Property Sale to. Mattamy Orlando LLC.
(City Attorney Cookson)
On April 21, 2015, following an advertised public hearing, the City Commission approved an
Agreement for Purchase and Sale with Mattamy Orlando LLC for the purchase of the property known
as Crown Point. The property will be closed in two Phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2.
In the Agreement for Sale and Purchase, the parties agreed upon a closing date of January 15, 2016.
In a First Amendment to Agreement for Sale and Purchase, approved by the City on July 21, 2015,
the parties extended the closing date for the Phase 1 closing until June 1, 2016. As the parties now
prepare to close with Mattamy Orlando LLC on Phase 1 of the Crown Point property, it is appropriate
to request the City Commission authorize the Mayor to execute all documents incident to the closing
of this transaction.
5. Approval of Crown Pointe Cove School Concurrency Mitigation Agreement
between Pulte Homes, Orange County Public Schools and City of Ocoee (OCE-
15-005). (City Planner Rumer)
As per Section 16.6 (f) of the Amended Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning
Implementation of Concurrency ("ILA"), the City shall enter into a mitigation agreement with the
School Board and the Applicant of the proposed development when the students generated fails to
meet the adopted level of service. The Applicant submitted a School Concurrency Determination
Application and Development Analysis to the Orange County School Board in connection with a
proposal to obtain approval for a Preliminary and Final Subdivision Plan in order to develop forty-
four(44)Residential Units on the Westyn Bay Commercial PUD property. The analysis indicated the
proposed development would generate 4.4 students at Ocoee Middle School. The capacity available
at Ocoee Middle School could accommodate 1.4 students resulting in a need to mitigate three (3)
students.
6. Approval to Expend Forfeiture Monies to Law Enforcement Related
Equipment Needed to Outfit One Additional City of Ocoee Police Department
Member of the Central Florida Metro S.W.A.T. (Police Chief Brown)
The role of law enforcement in all cases, including riotous activity, anti-terrorist activities,
insurrection, barricaded subjects, execution of narcotics warrants, arrest of dangerous felons and the
rescue of hostages or endangered persons, is for the protection of lives and property. In the pursuit of
this goal, the City of Apopka, the City of Winter Park, the City of Maitland, the City of Ocoee, and
the City of Winter Garden are integrating their officers to provide combined S.W.A.T. services in all
five jurisdictions. The integrated team of specially selected and trained police officers from the
participating political subdivisions will respond to any incident where special weapons and tactics are
needed within the member jurisdictions. The City of Ocoee needs to outfit one additional specially
selected officer with the required special equipment and weapons and train the respective officer.

7. Approval of the Purchase of Tasers, Body Worn Cameras (BWC) along with
Contracting with Evidence.com for the Storage/Retention and Security of the
Audio/Video Recordings Produced by those Cameras. (Police Chief Brown)
Recent legislation, as highlighted during the last Commission Meeting by Senator Geraldine
Thompson, has been passed to ensure all Law Enforcement Agencies in Florida develop policy to
govern the use of Body Worn Cameras (BWC). The City of Ocoee Police Department has such a
policy. The City of Ocoee Police Department utilizes Taser International to supply our officers with
Electronic Control Weapons, commonly known as Tasers. With this year's purchase of 10 Tasers,
Taser International will provide 10 Body Worn Cameras (BWC) at no additional cost. The City of
Ocoee Police Department would like use these 10 BWC's to launch a pilot program. These cameras
will be utilized to document contacts with citizens during public contacts, calls for service, traffic
stops,critical incidents,accident scenes,criminal investigations,and other law enforcement events for
the purpose of gathering recorded evidence to assist in the enforcement of criminal and civil laws.
The BWC pilot program will serve to enhance the accuracy of officer reports and testimony in court.
The BWC audio/video recording system will also be used: to help ensure officer safety, as a training
aide, in response to personnel complaints,and for quality assessment of citizen/officer contacts. Taser
International services these cameras and provides secure, unlimited storage for all audio/video
recordings produced by these cameras with a cataloging component for efficient transfer from officer
to department to the State Attorney's Office. In addition to the 10 Taser match with 10 BWC's the
police department will also be purchasing 7 additional Tasers without cameras; 5 replacement Tasers
and 2 Tasers for new personnel. The total monies budgeted in the 2015-2016 Budget for Police
Department Tasers/Body Worn Cameras and contractual services with Evidence.com are 45,092.00.
8. Approval for the Authorization for Use of County Solid Waste Management
System. (Public Works Director Krug)
The City has historically utilized the County solid waste management system to dispose of residential
and commercial solid waste. The interlocal agreement between the City and Orange County expired
in September, 2011. On October 18, 2011, the City Commission ratified a letter of intent from the
County to continue to receive County solid waste management services under the terms of the expired
interlocal agreement until a new agreement was reached. The County Commission re-evaluated their
rate structure ultimately lowering the tipping fees to the City's benefit from$37.10 to$33.60 per ton.
There is currently no incentive for the City to enter into a new contract until such time as the largest
city in the County enters into a similar agreement as their larger volume of dedicated waste tonnage
would be the catalyst to further lower tipping fees. The City Commission previously authorized use
of the County solid waste management system through April 30, 2016. While we await a beneficial
interlocal agreement, Public Works seeks City Commission authorization to continue to use the
County solid waste management system to dispose of residential and commercial solid waste until a
new agreement is reached or April 30,2017.

9. Second Reading of Ordinance to Dissolve the Arden Park Community
Development District. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, May 5, 2016.)
(City Attorney Cookson)
On June 2, 2015, the City of Ocoee City Commission adopted an ordinance establishing the Arden
Park Community Development District (District) for the purpose of delivering urban community
development services within the established District. This action was undertaken at Petitioner,
Standard Pacific of Florida's,request and expense.
On March 29,2016,the City received a letter from the District's attorney, Jere Earlywine, requesting
the City Commission dissolve the District. The request to dissolve the District is because the
developer now intends to develop the project without a community development district.
Petitioner has informed the City that the District has no outstanding obligations and no operating and
maintenance responsibilities. Therefore, the District is eligible for dissolution pursuant to Section
190.046(9),Florida Statutes,and may be dissolved upon approval of an ordinance by the City.
