The item is on the dais before them should they want to consider it this evening. Brief discussion ensued regarding the cost estimate for the funding of the conceptual planning effort and time frame. Motion: Authorize creation of a new Community Center expansion capital project in the Support Services Department and allocate funds in the amount of $30,000 from existing budgeted funds for the conceptual planning effort. Regular City Commission August 16, 2016 Moved by Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Firstner. Motion carried 4-0 with Commissioner Grogan absent. City Attorney Cookson briefed the board on a Commission on Ethics investigation of a member of the Planning & Zoning Commission that was citizen-complaint initiated. Commission on Ethics moved forward with a hearing after finding probable cause on one of the four charges that were brought before the member. The process allows that if the member wanted to challenge the findings of the Ethics Commission, they could engage an attorney to help with representation before the Ethics Commission. It is within the City's authority to approve the City paying for the legal fees and an attorney not affiliated with the City that handles ethical violations throughout the State would be hired. It is difficult to say what the costs would be. The Planning and Zoning member has indicated they would like to challenge the findings and would like for the City to cover the costs of his legal fees. Discussion ensued for which City Attorney Cookson addressed questions from the Commission; and further, recommended a limit be set on the amount they would cover for attorney fees. If they come to a point where they may exceed that limit, they can bring it back before the Commission. Motion: Support a Member of the Planning & Zoning Commission legal fees of up to $15,000. Moved by Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Firstner. Motion carried 4-0 with Commissioner Grogan absent. E. COMMISSIONERS ANNOUNCEMENTS - 7:47 PM Commissioner Wilsen—None.

CALL TO ORDER- 6:02 PM Mayor Johnson called the meeting to order starting with a presentation by the Finance Director. II. FY16/17 Budget Overview - Finance Director Horton Finance Director Horton provided a PowerPoint presentation summarizing the Proposed Budget for FY2016-2017. Budget Highlights in the presentation covered: ➢ Personnel ➢ Vehicles ➢ Equipment ➢ Capital Improvements Roll Call and Determination of Quorum Present: Commissioner Wilsen, Mayor Johnson, Commissioner Firstner, Commissioner Keller Absent: Commissioner Grogan III.Introduction—City Manager Frank City Manager Frank advised that if there is anything in the budget that needs clarification or if there are any programs or capital projects that are not included in the budget, now would be a good time for them to discuss. Staff has included everything in the budget that he has had a chance to discuss with each of them throughout the year. There are some items on the unfunded list which were brought up within the last few months. IV. Discussion Mayor Johnson announced that he will not be going through the budget book page-by-page as they have done in the past. The Commission has had time to review their budget books; so if there are any questions pertaining to any area of the budget, he would like to begin with those questions. August 15, 2016 Page 2 of 5 City Commission Budget Workshop Commissioner Wilsen said she read the budget and it is pretty clear and clean-cut. She inquired, however, if there is anything they can do with the health insurance and workman's compensation costs. City Manager Frank said part of the issue with workman's compensation is that it depleted our reserves. He tasked HR Director Williford to get with the City's workman's compensation representative to see if it would be less expensive to go with the fully- insured product, but it came back that it is not. Continuing to self-insure and putting money in a reserve fund is actually less than a fully-insured product. Commissioner Wilsen inquired about the $85,000 Solar Farm and if it could be explained. Utilities Director Smith gave a brief explanation of the project and advised that in this year's budget they actually have Solar Farm that they are going to put at the Utility Administration Building. What is in next year's budget is the 2nd phase that they hope to put in one of the plants. Commissioner Wilsen inquired about the Conduits program. It was explained that is the lien search program that will be automated. Commissioner Keller inquired if they will need as much budgeted for the lobbyist since they had spoken before about having someone else do the lobbying for the City. City Manager Frank asked Finance Director Horton to clarify if they did put a line item for lobbyist since they did include the Economic Development and CRA position. Finance Director Horton advised there is $48,000 in the budget for a lobbyist. Commissioner Keller inquired if they want to continue as they have done going into the new budget or do something else with the federal lobbyist. City Manager Frank advised they do not have to decide that tonight and there is sufficient funds for them to decide how they would like to move forward. Commissioner Firstner inquired about the $6.5 million showing in revenues for this year. Finance Director Horton advised that represents the two land sales for the Crown Point Property and Silvestri Property. Commissioner Firstner inquired if there is a ceiling on the City's debt service. City Manager Frank answered a billion dollars, but they would never get there. Mayor Johnson inquired about the Facility Manager position and if that would be replacing someone. Utilities Director Smith explained this is a new superintendent position to supervise over their facilities. Mayor Johnson inquired about the Help Desk Technician position. Support Services Director Butler explained this position is to help alleviate all the overtime that the current staff has to take on. It would help allow the staff that is currently covering the help desk work on longer term tasks so that a lower level staff member could assist with the simple help desk requests. Mayor Johnson shared that one of the things he would like to add to the unfunded list is the life scan physical for the firefighters. Fire Chief Miller explained that it would be roughly $400.00 August 15, 2016 Page 3 of 5 City Commission Budget Workshop per person, and he would be happy to provide information at the next budget meeting. Brief explanation was given on the body scan and the benefits of having it done. Mayor Johnson explained that GAI Consultant is present tonight to give a presentation on the Ocoee Downtown Master Plan, which will include a project list for them to decide how they would like to proceed with the budget for this project. Assistant City Manager Shadrix briefed the Commission on the Ocoee Downtown Master Plan steps that they have taken thus far, which has included public meetings and residents' feedback. He further advised that the City has already begun two main efforts in the Master Plan, which are Maine Boulevard and the Bluford Streetscape. Tonight they will point out the projects that they feel are necessary to move forward with the downtown redevelopment. They have been informed by the Finance Department that they have the ability to bond up to $25 million without impacting the current proposed millage rate. The projects that are decided this evening that are important will be added to a project list, which would be funded under the bond issue at a later date. Peter Sechler and Andrew McCown with GAI Consultants provided a PowerPoint presentation, which gave an overview of the proposed vision for the Downtown Ocoee Renovation Project and listed the working projects (see below).

Discussion ensued regarding the benefits of building a new City Hall on City-owned property located downtown on McKey Street rather than on the City-owned property located on A.D. Mims/Clarke Road.
