MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: Ellis Shapiro, City Manager
DATE: December 6, 1993
RE: HORIZON WEST, INC.
On or around November 10, 1993, the attached letter came from Kurt Ardaman, Director
of Horizon West, Inc. requesting that the City of Ocoee appoint a City Commissioner to
their Steering Committee and the City Planner to the Technical Advisory Committee of their
organization.
Prior to bringing this to you, I wanted to learn more about this organization and its goals.
Due to Mr. Ardaman's schedule and my schedule, I was unable to talk to him until last week.
Basically, this organization was founded to provide leadership in the planning process in West
Orange and that the Orange County Commission treat the West Orange area equally to
other areas of the County in regard to transportation, infrastructure and economic
development. To this end, I am recommending that the City Commission consider
appointing a Commissioner to this organization's Steering Committee and that the City
Commission confirm Russ Wagner as the technical person to the Technical Advisory
Committee.
Respectfully Submitted,

Re: Horizon West, Inc.
Dear Mr. Creech, Ms. Bernier, Mr. Shapiro
and Ms. Fleming:
Horizon West, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization formed by
a group of concerned citizens, landowners, businesses and others
for the purposes of planning and ensuring responsible growth in
West Orange County.
Horizon West has retained the services of the planning firm of
Miller-Sellen and Associates and other professionals to assist with
its work. However, each City's participation in this effort is
important, and we have set up a process that provides each City and
other select participants with the opportunity to help plan for
responsible growth in West Orange County.
The Board of Directors of Horizon West has created a Steering
Committee and a Technical Advisory Committee in order to assist
with its work. Further, the board has made a position available on
each of these Committees for a representative from each of the
Cities of Oakland, Winter Garden, Windermere and Ocoee.
The Board of Directors has requested that each City Commission
(Council) appoint one of its Commission (Council) members to the
Steering Committee and each City's planner, engineer or other
technical person to the Technical Advisory Committee.

The Steering Committee will deal with broad policy issues,
while the Technical Advisory Committee will focus on more technical
matters.
Horizon West's work effort is moving rapidly and key decisions
and work will occur quickly. Therefore, your prompt consideration
of the above and your City's appointments would be appreciated.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Ellis Shapiro , City Manager
FROM: Ray Brenner , Public Works Director
DATE: December 10 , 1993
RE: Resurfacing progr . m - FY 93/94
At Tuesday' s commission meeting Mayor Vandergrift expressed his
concerns to resurface with asphalt over existing brick streets .
The mayor is of the opin , on that the street listed in the
resurfacing program , specifically Oakland Ave . from Bluford to
Taylor , is brick.
I asked Buddy Elmore to determine if , in fact , the brick was
beneath the existing asphalt surface and his findings were brick
did not exist from Bluford Ave . to the railroad track. The roadway
from the railroad tracks to "'aylor is currently brick. During this
discussion Commissioner Foster made a request to resurface Russell
Ct . as an alternate . A. Teasurement of Russell Ct . and the
measurement not to resurface: that portion of Oakland Ave . from the
railroad track to Taylor revealed that it would require a
comparable amount of asphalt . There would be no cost change to the
project. On Russell Ct . there would have to be an adjustment to
one utility access cover and the cost associated with that is
insignificant .
Therefore , it is re.speciu.11y requested that we amend the
resurfacing project list of streets to reflect the resurfacing of
Oakland Ave . from Bluford Ave . to the railroad track and to add
Russell Ct . to the list . Based on this recommendation, it appears
there would be no change in the Orlando Paving bid award in the
amount of $22 , 802 . 04 , with a completion time of no later than 50
days from the Notice. to Proceed.
