I. CALL TO ORDER 6:01 PM A. Roll Call and Determination of Quorum Present: Commissioner Grogan, Commissioner Wilsen, Mayor Johnson, Commissioner Firstner, Commissioner Keller (arrived at 6:10 p.m.) B. Mayor's Announcement- 6:01 PM Mayor Johnson announced this is a public hearing on the tentative budget and proposed millage rate for the City of Ocoee. Notice of this hearing was contained in the Notice of Proposed Property Taxes mailed by the Property Appraiser. The City Commission has previously set a proposed millage rate of 6.5 mils which represents a 14.42% increase in millage over the rolled- back rate of 5.6808 mils). II. PUBLIC HEARING-6:02 PM A. Briefing by City Attorney to discuss the maximum millage rate which may be levied and the rates required to exceed such millage. City Attorney Cookson announced the preliminary millage rate set by the City Commission and contained in the TRIM Notices is 6.5 mils. The maximum millage rate, which may be levied by the City by regular majority vote for the 2016-2017 fiscal year is 7.6151 mils, such maximum millage rate having been determined pursuant to Section 200.185(3)(a), Florida Statutes. The establishment of a millage rate between 7.6152 mils and 8.3766 mils requires a two-thirds vote (super majority) of the membership of the City Commission (or 4 votes). The establishment of a millage rate between 8.3767 mils and 10.000 mils requires a unanimous vote of the City Commission. Additionally, any millage rate adopted above the preliminary millage rate of 6.5 would require notice by first class mail to each taxpayer. The tentative millage rate adopted at this hearing will become the maximum millage rate, which may be adopted by the City Commission at the public hearing on the final millage rate. A unanimous vote or a two-thirds vote may be required to adopt the tentative millage rate as the final millage rate. At the final public hearing, the City Commission may adopt a millage rate, which is less than the tentative millage rate. B. Briefing by Finance Director: review of additions/deletions to the budget since August 1, 2016 distribution, the percentage increase in millage over the rolled-back rate necessary to fund the budget and the specific purpose for which ad valorem tax revenues are being increased. 6:03 PM Finance Director Horton announced the commission approved a tentative millage rate for FY 2017 of 6.5000 mils. This rate is higher than the rolled-back rate of 5.6808 and represents an increase of 14.42% over the rolled-back rate. After the budget workshop, staff performed a comprehensive review to correct any unintended omissions and finalize estimated program costs. Changes made to the budget by staff after the workshop include: Ocoee City Commission Tentative Budget Public Hearing September 12,2016 ➢ Reduced police/fire pension contributions ➢ Added revenues and expenditures for developer contributions for the City Center West Orange ➢ Adjusted estimated revenues ➢ Added funds for the Beech Center network upgrades ➢ City shared streetlights for Roberson Road ➢ Sponsorship of the Florida League of Cities event ➢ Miscellaneous speed tables and streetlights ➢ Part-time School Crossing Guard ➢ Maine Street retention pond and stormwater fund The proposed operating budgets for the City of Ocoee for FY 2017 total $66,633,080. The proposed General Fund budget is $40,599,585 and is balanced at 5.79 mils. The difference between the 6.5 mils and the 5.79 mils is $1,400,605, which is currently not in the budget. Ad Valorem taxes are being assessed to provide funding for: • Operational expenses • Capital purchases • Debt service payments • Salaries necessary to provide municipal services to the citizens and businesses of Ocoee Items identified by the commission or staff that are not included in the proposed budget are itemized on the unfunded list for discussion. 1. Comments by Citizens. 6:06 PM Mark Scalzo, 703 Marotta Loop, expressed his concerns regarding the current fire protection on the northwest part of the City. He shared that currently the City has a two-man advanced life support unit that is housed at Fire Station 38, which is located within the Publix shopping center on West Road. Although sufficient for life support, there is no City fire engine or suppression unit dedicated to this area. The closest fire engine would be the City of Winter Garden's Fire Engine 23. He further expressed several concerns, which will result due to growth in that area. In conclusion, Mr. Scalzo opined that by staffing a four-man engine company at Fire Station 38, the fire personnel could not only provide ALS service, but suppression capability also. He asked that the Commission please consider in doing whatever it takes to accomplish the upgrade in service to the residents of District 1 in the northwest Ocoee area and make provisions in the FY 16/17 budget that will at least start the process. Martha Lopez-Anderson, 2438 Alclobe Circle, said at the Budget Workshop the Commission went through an extensive list of different items, which contained costs associated to them, and the Commission was going to decide which of those items they were going to prioritize and include in the budget. She inquired where citizens can obtain a copy of that list so that citizens can properly provide feedback. City Manager Frank explained that he is not sure which list she is referring to, but briefly shared that the Capital Budget for next year does list any possible projects and funding. Brief discussion ensued regarding the bond issue for the Downtown Redevelopment, and it was explained that within the next few weeks there will be workshops for Page 2 of 8 Ocoee City Commission Tentative Budget Public Hearing September 12, 2016 the Commission to prioritize which projects they would like to fund. Ms. Lopez-Anderson concluded her comments by echoing Mr. Scalzo's concerns on the importance of a fire station on the northwest part of the city. Chris Atkins, 606 Ridgefield Avenue, shared his concerns with regards to the non-ad valorem assessment on his taxes. 2. Comments by Commissioners. 6:19 PM Commissioner Grogan said he would like to see the architect/engineer fees ($160,000) put into this year's budget. He would like to start the process so that maybe next fiscal year they can finalize it and start on the construction of the building. He further commented that the item he added to the unfunded list to be discussed was the priority based budgeting ($47,500) which he feels would help with issues such as working on the budget and the services the City provides to residents. Commissioner Grogan further explained the quality performance audit ($15,000) which was an additional item he added as well to the unfunded list. Commissioner Wilsen inquired about the Florida League of Cities Sponsorship ($10,000) which was included on the proposed balanced budget list. It was clarified that it was for the National League of Cities; and because of the Mayor's appointment as Chair to that organization, the City will be hosting an upcoming meeting. Commissioner Wilsen further commented that the walkway and lighting at Withers Maguire House ($22,000) is something she would like to consider adding to the budget. Commissioner Firstner said he is fine with the majority of the budget, but does have concerns with the need of a fire station in the northwest end of town. He further opined that if they wait much longer it will be more difficult for them to catch up. Commissioner Firstner shared that he thinks they can wait on the fire station construction and improvements until they receive impact fees. He would like to add into the budget the operating costs for personnel ($576,920) which would put the millage rate at 6.0825; if they can fray that cost a little, it would help. Commissioner Keller said he is happy they added speed tables and lighting into the budget. He further shared that he agrees with Commissioner Grogan on the priority based budgeting as he has attended classes on that topic and sees the value of having it done. He reiterated the need of having a fire station in the northwest portion of town, especially with the growth and the high school being in that area. He has no problem starting with the architect/engineer planning for the fire station in this upcoming budget and opined that the operating costs for the fire station may not be needed yet. He further commented on the possibility of bringing transport in-house instead of outsourcing so that the City could profit. Commissioner Keller further commented that they have had problems with graffiti at Central Park, and he would not have a problem with adding the installation of the security camera system ($137,000) into the budget. Central Park would be the best park to start with since it is the largest and most used park. Mayor Johnson inquired when the second phase of the land sales with Mattamy Homes would occur. City Manager Frank said he believed December 2017. Mayor Johnson inquired if they could use funds from that sale to start architect/engineer design for the fire station. City Page 3 of 8 Ocoee City Commission Tentative Budget Public Hearing September 12, 2016 Manager Frank answered in the affirmative, and advised they can use funds from either the bond issue or using proceeds from the Crown Point sale to start the architect/engineer design for the fire station. Mayor Johnson commented that the other item he brought up at the budget workshop was the live scan for the firefighters. Fire Chief Miller said he provided the information to him, the City Manager and the HR Director; and after discussions, it was decided it may be best for that to be part of the contract negotiations. It was also mentioned that the firefighters could use their VEBA account. Fire Chief Miller briefly addressed the need of a fire station in the northwest area and advised that the most important priority is to get a suppression unit with personnel at the current existing facility. This would allow them to safely get by. Commissioner Grogan inquired on the operating costs for adding the suppression unit. Fire Chief Miller advised they would have to add an additional room at that location, which would be about $15,000-$20,000. They have the apparatus. So the only additional costs would be the personnel costs. Mayor Johnson briefly clarified and addressed the fire fee and non-ad valorem fees that were brought up by Mr. Atkins. Discussion ensued. With regards to the fire station architect/engineer/construction, City Manager Frank advised the Commission to keep in mind that they do have a bond issue coming up; and if they wanted to add the $1.4 million to the bond issue, they could make that commitment. Brief discussion ensued. 3.

Parks and Recreation Director Hayes briefly explained the lights are for the little league fields (Minor field and T-ball field). They did replace the lights for the major fields at Central Park. Discussion ensued on the lights, if they worked, and if upgrading them could be held off until next year. Commissioner Wilsen said she feels the security camera system is important, because they have had issues at Central Park for a long time. She further inquired if she added only that item into the budget, what would be the millage rate. It was announced that would bring the millage rate to 5.8595 mils. Commissioner Wilsen inquired what the millage rate would be if she added both the walkway and lighting at Withers Maguire House and the Central Park security camera system. It was announced that would bring the millage rate to 5.8706 mils. Support Service Director Butler briefed the board on the security camera system and some of the major issues they are experiencing with vandalism. City Manager Frank shared that Finance Director Horton is looking into the balance of the Parks and Recreation Impact Fees; and further, they can possibly use those funds if there is money in that account, which would not affect the millage rate.

The adopted tentative millage rate is the maximum millage rate, which may be adopted by the City Commission at the Final Budget Public Hearing tonight. II. PUBLIC HEARING 6:01 PM fi Briefing by Director of Finance on the percentage increase in millage under the roll-backed rate necessary to fund the budget and the specific purpose for which ad valorem tax revenues are being increased. The proposed operating budgets for the City of Ocoee for FY 2017 total $68,204,030. The proposed General Fund budget is $42,033,535. Ad Valorem taxes are being assessed to provide funding for: operational expenses, capital purchases, debt service payments, and salaries necessary to provide municipal services to the citizens and businesses of Ocoee. The commission approved a tentative millage rate for FY 2017 of 6.5 mils. This rate is higher than the rolled-back rate of 5.6808 and represents an increase in the millage over the rolled-back rate of 14.42%. The tentative millage rate generates about $1,616,020 more in revenues than the rolled-back rate. Of this amount $1,363,605 is undesignated and has been placed in the contingency account. Adoption of the 6.5 mils requires a majority vote by the commission.

Mayor Johnson briefly explained the donations that are Final Budget Public Hearing September 21,2016 collected for the Founders' Day event that helps pay back the money the City contributes. Further discussion ensued regarding funds that are in reserve and how that is budgeted. b) Comments by Commissioners. 6:14 PM Commissioner Grogan said the only thing he would like to have moved forward into the budget is the priority based budgeting ($47,500); he is fine with the rest of the budget. Commissioner Wilsen inquired about the quality performance audit ($15,000) and if that is being considered. It was explained that the quality performance audit was approved at the last public hearing and is included in the budget. Commissioner Wilsen inquired how many audits could be done with the money budgeted and would it cover just a specific department. Commissioner Grogan explained that an audit could cover a variety of aspects within the City and would not have to be specific to a department. He further shared his knowledge of quality performance audits. Commissioner Wilsen advised she does not have any other questions at the moment. Commissioner Firstner inquired if all the items listed on the proposed balanced budget millage rate are currently included in the budget. It was answered affirmatively. Commissioner Firstner said he would like to consider moving forward into the budget fire station improvements ($40,000). He further shared that he believes that would allow the City to locate an engine on the Northwest end of the City limits. He opined that having the construction of a new fire station considered in the bond issue is a great start. Commissioner Keller said that last night at the Regular Commission Meeting there was a discussion on the money that they have budgeted for the Community Grants. This is a discussion that comes up every year, because many applicants are not from the City of Ocoee. He would like for the Commission to consider dropping that grant program and taking that money and putting it into the MVP Grant Program, which would still allow for them to give back to the community. Mayor Johnson shared that he would prefer putting the money into a small business initiative that would help new businesses that want to open up around downtown. Mayor Johnson shared that he likes the priority based budgeting suggested by Commissioner Grogan, but he would prefer moving forward into the budget the $40,000 for the fire station improvements, because he does not want to move the millage rate above 5.9 mils. Referring back to the grant money discussion, the Mayor shared that he would like to keep the MVP Grant Program for the HOA's and rotate it so that it is not the same group receiving the money. ` c) Motions by Commissioners for amendments to the proposed tentative budget.6:25 PM Motion: Move to amend the tentative budget to remove the $1,363,605 from the contingency fund; Moved by Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Grogan.

This site consists of three parcels with three different parcel identification numbers, but the longest parcel lies half within the city and the other half within Orange County. The northern section lies within Orange County, is eligible for voluntary annexation, and is considered contiguous to the City of Ocoee since it is bordered by property located within the City limits on the eastern boundaries. The annexation and rezoning is consistent with the Future Land Use Element Policy.

A future segment of the West Orange Trail Connector will run along Palm Drive. City Planner Rumer advised that a traffic study was done and it did not show a need for any type of improvement downstream. However, in discussing the project with the City of Winter Garden as part of the 429 Overlay, it was decided to signalize the intersection of Palm Drive and East Crown Point Road.

Commissioner Grogan inquired if the Traffic Study was made with the intent of there being large trucks. City Planner Rumer answered that they look at all the land uses and this property has had light industrial land use since 2008, so that issue was considered. Commissioner Grogan further inquired if the City would be allowed to put weight limit for vehicles on Palm Drive. City Planner Rumer advised that would be a question for the Public Works Director. Commissioner Firstner inquired what the buffer would consist of along the 429, on the rear of the property. City Planner Rumer said it would be a species of trees. Commissioner Keller inquired if a traffic light would be installed at the other end of East Crown Point Road. City Planner Rumer answered that the traffic light at Palm Drive and East Crown Point Road will be the only ones installed. Commissioner Keller further inquired if the proposed turning lanes will be long enough for tractor trailers. City Planner Rumer answered in the affirmative.
