were present representing First Impressions of Central Florida to request the Board to waive the
rental fee of the Ocoee baseball field to host a free baseball camp on Friday, October 28, 2016,
for the children in Ocoee and surrounding areas to learn baseball skills. Mayor Johnson
inquired if they are holding this in Winter Garden as well and whether they had asked Winter
Garden. Mr. Pester indicated they have not asked Winter Garden. He further explained First
Impressions sends out community guides to new residents of Ocoee inviting them to their meet-
and-greets, and they would like to bring some more activities into the city. Commissioner
Keller asked if this is in conjunction with the Ocoee Little League. Mr. Pester indicated it is
not. Commissioner Grogan asked him to explain the business of First Impressions of Central
Florida. Mr. Pester explained the business publishes community guides and realtor brochures to
new residents. They also host a meet-and-greet at the Roper YMCA every month for new
residents of Ocoee, Winter Garden, Windermere and Dr. Phillips to help them get to know their
area. He further explained different, free community events they host. Commissioner Wilsen
asked if they have been in contact with the Ocoee Little League to coordinate anything with
them. Mr. Pester answered in the negative. Commissioner Keller suggested to hold off on this
decision and bring it back to the next meeting in order for them to discuss and coordinate with
the Ocoee Little League. Mayor Johnson recommended it would be best for them to contact
and coordinate this with the Ocoee Little League first, and then further follow up at the October
4, 2016, meeting. City Manager Frank recommended, in the interest of saving time, the Board
make a motion pending the approval of the Ocoee Little League.

3. Approval of Declaration of Surplus Property. (Purchasing Agent Tolbert)
Staff has successfully used Gideon Auctioneers for previous surplus sales. Staff requests the approval of the
City Commission to contract George Gideon Auctioneers, Inc., Zellwood, Florida for the public sale of the
City's surplus property. Due to the market, Gideon is now performing online auctions only; however, Gideon
will continue to act as the dealer in transferring all titles and collecting sales tax, collecting payments, taking
auction pictures and listing each item,which includes answering questions and showing the items to the public.
This action will present the City with the opportunity of a larger coverage area with more convenience to the
public,and will alleviate the overtime costs and auctioneer fees incur in conducting the auction in-house. The
surplus items will be delivered to the Gideon property located at 2753 N. Hwy.441,Zellwood,FL 32798.The
public viewing of items at the auction site is during business hours from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., 3:30 p.m. for
vehicles. A link to the City's surplus auctions on Gideon's auction site will be placed on the City's website.

Equitably Shared Funds for up to $12,000. (Police Chief Brown)
The Ocoee Police Department places a high priority on the detection and apprehension of impaired drivers.
The dangers of impaired driving are well documented with 899 deaths in Florida related to impairment in 2014
alone. In-car video is a resource that greatly enhances the prosecution of DUI offenders as it details not only
driving behaviors, but also the officer interaction as well as the field sobriety exercises. The State Attorney
Office tasks the Ocoee Police Department for in-car video on each DUI case. The Ocoee Police Department
requests to spend up to $12,000 from its State Forfeiture account that has a current balance of$73,236.55 for
the purchase of(2)in-car high definition video cameras to be installed in traffic enforcement vehicles.

Vehicle Replacement Account for the Purchase of One Administration Vehicle. (Police
Chief Brown)

forfeiture vehicles no longer being worthy of repair. Currently there are sufficient funds in the Retirement
Contributions Account due to reduced expenditures from position vacancies and employees in the DROP.
Public Works was able to locate a Ford Explorer, administration SUV. Alan Jay Fleet Sales, which is on the

7. Approval of Change Order #4 to Bluford Avenue Stormwater and Utility
Improvements Project. (Utilities Director Smith)
As part of the original Bluford Avenue Stormwater and Utility Improvements Project and approved Columbus
Street forcemain work covered under Change Order#1, Change Order#4 is comprised primarily of water and
wastewater utility additions including required water service connections, unforeseen utility conditions along
the Bluford corridor, and repair of aged water utility infrastructure along Bluford Avenue. In addition, this
change order covers unforeseen underground conditions at the new forcemain connection to the existing
forcemain on Maguire Road. An existing multi-level Century Link duct bank created substantial conflicts at
the connection point. In summary, the increase in cost for water and wastewater items is $27,186.13 and
$32,798.50, respectively. Dewitt and City Representatives utilized the current bid item quantity costs to
estimate the change order costs. In review of the original contract pay items, several items including Items

to the deductions in water items is$32,614.00. The net increase to the original contact amount is$27,370.63.

The subject property is located on the north side of Palm Drive, on the west side of SR 429, and on the east
side of East Crown Point Road. The property is vacant/undeveloped. The subject property is +/- 45.54 acres,
adjacent to SR 429 to the east and East Crown Point Road to the west. The applicants propose to develop the
45.85 acres as a light industrial/flex office PUD consisting of five (5) buildings totaling a maximum of
645,600 sq. ft. This provides for a maximum floor area ratio of 0.037. The permitted uses will be limited to
those uses permitted within the I-1 (Light Manufacturing and Warehousing)except automotive sales(new and
used), boat sales and service, mobile home and travel trailer sales, monument sales, motor vehicle wholesale,
lumber yard.
a) Second Reading of Annexation Ordinance
b) Second Reading of Rezoning Ordinance
City Attorney Cookson read the titles of the Ordinances.
City Planner Rumer gave a brief overview of the proposed annexation and rezoning for The
Park at 429 Planned Unit Development (PUD). 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. The property is being rezoned to develop
the 45.85 acres as a light industrial/flex office PUD, consisting of five (5) buildings totaling a
maximum of 645,600 sq. ft. The subject property is located within the SR 429 moratorium area.
The Moratorium Ordinance provides that a project can be exempt from the Moratorium with the
approval of the City Manager and City Planner based on the determination that the project will
be consistent with the Study Area amendments.
Access from the site will be via two (2) access points on Palm Drive and three (3) access points
on East Crown Point Road. A left turn lane is proposed on Palm Drive, turning left onto East
Crown Point Road and a right and left turn lane is proposed on East Crown Point Road. The
northern entrance is being reserved as truck traffic only. The PUD provides for dedication of ten
(10) feet of additional right-of-way on Palm Drive and East Crown Point Road. Buffers are being
provided on East Crown Point Road of 25 feet and 35 feet along SR 429. City Planner Rumer
briefly explained some of the criteria requirements for this project that will be coming out of the
429 Overlay. He shared that the project before them is a PUD Land Use Plan and during the next
step, which is the Preliminary/Final Site Plan, staff will have the 429 Overlay adopted, which
will show more details. 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. The signalization is not a requirement of the site plan, but is an item on
the Bi-City Partnership for the 429.

with staff the last several months. They are present tonight to answer any questions of the
Commission.
Mayor Johnson inquired if there is work to be done at the intersection of Palm Drive and East
Crown Point Road. City Planner Rumer explained that there will be a streetscape design for
East Crown Point Road as part of the 429 Overlay that Winter Garden and Ocoee are working
on. Additionally, as this development will be established over phases, they will work with
Winter Garden on getting the design and estimate for the signalization of Palm Drive.
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. Mayor
Johnson commented that he drove by that area and noticed that there are no buffers on the
Winter Garden side. Additionally, while in that area, he also noticed a lot of semi-truck activity.
The City wants to make sure the safety concerns are addressed and will discuss these factors with
the developer.
City Planner Rumer further shared that this is not a technical review at this time. The
preliminary/final site plan is where the technical details to the project will be provided. City
Planner Rumer briefly addressed some additional concerns that were expressed by the residents
with regards to the buffer and road capacity.

Wright)
The Community Grant Review Board (CGRB) met on August 10, 2016, to discuss the nine (9) applications
received for the Community Grant Program. The Community Grant Program provides financial grants of up
to$500 to non-profit organizations and civic groups located within the city limits or outside the city limits,but
benefit residents of Ocoee. The grant cycle is open twice yearly(January and July)to acknowledge excellence
and further the contributions these local organizations bring to the Ocoee community. There is $6,000 allotted
for this cycle of the Community Grant Program. The Community Grant Review Board recommended funding
eight (8) organizations in the total amount of$4,000. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Church was not
recommended to receive a grant. The church group proposed using the grant money to pay utility bills for
people in need. The CGRB stated that subsidizing bills is not the best way to use the City's grant funds.
Community Relations Manager Wright explained that the Community Grant Review Board
(CGRB) met and they recommended funding eight (8) organizations in the total amount of
$4,000. Mayor Johnson asked for the name of the organizations receiving funds and their
addresses. Community Relations Manager Wright provided the information. It was shared that
the application states that any grant money received from the City be used to benefit residents of
Ocoee. Brief discussion ensued regarding the one application that was not recommended to
receive a grant. Mayor Johnson shared that he personally does not like giving grant money to
anyone outside of the City. Commissioner Grogan said he also agreed with the Mayor's
comment. He further inquired whether the remaining money not granted goes back into the
general fund. It was answered in the affirmative. Chairman of the CGRB, Jim Sills, briefly
addressed the Commission to share why the Board did not grant funds to the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul Church. Brief discussion ensued.

J. STAFF ACTION ITEMS -None
K. COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS - 8:25 PM
Commissioner Keller— 1) Inquired of Police Chief Brown about vehicles parking in front of the
homes on Rich Drive and whether an ordinance needs to be approved for no parking signs to be
put up. Police Chief Brown recommends staff do more research on this issue. 2) He informs
Chief Brown that residents are complaining about speeding along Timber Ridge Trail, even
though there are speed humps. He said some residents feel the speed humps need to be closer or
suggest a stop sign past the school after entering Sawmill. He asked for more police patrols in
that area for a short period of time.
Commissioner Wilsen — Informed the Board and staff that the entrance into the Women's
Center parking lot, which is used for overflow parking for the Lakeshore Center, is poorly lit and
hard to find at night. She asked staff what can be done so parking can be more efficient, and she
suggested a more defined entrance, or an apron. Public Works Director Krug recommended
concrete instead of rocks. Commissioner Wilsen further requested the Board to ask Public
Works Director Krug to make this a priority so that the facilities can be used more effectively for
future events. Public Works Director Krug said this is not a problem, but recommended it
should be done before Founder's Day. City Manager Frank said a consensus will be fine,but it
may have to come out of FY 2017 budget. Public Works Director Krug suggested his team
perform this work instead of hiring an outside company to save the City money.
Commissioner Grogan—None.
Commissioner Firstner—None.
Mayor Johnson — 1) Informed the Board and staff that residents would like some park benches
in the area along Starke Lake between Oakland Street and Lafayette Street, and he suggested
three benches on brick pavers. City Manager Frank asked if concrete would suffice. Mayor
Johnson said brick or concrete is fine. Further discussion ensued regarding where the funding
will come from for the benches.
