COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS/PUBLIC
Mr. John W. Fergus, 2558 Dovetail Drive, told about the drainage problem in his back
garden, which he had reported to both the City and County and he then displayed letters from
both denying responsibility. City Engineer Shira explained the City's position, i.e., that the
water appears to be coming from/across a neighboring property which is outside the City limits
and not in City's jurisdiction. The County has advised Mr. Fergus that the problem stems from
a design error in the plan on that neighboring parcel. Mr. Shira said that he had written to the
design engineer advising them about the County's remarks but had received no response. City
Manager Shapiro said that there are many similar problems being dealt with continually through
the City. Mayor Vandergrift asked for a list of those ongoing problems and then asked
Commissioner Gleason to get with Mr. Fergus and see what they could work out.
Commissioner Gleason expressed his frustration with the drainage problems as many of them
are in his district and added that he would like for staff to continue working with him and Mr.
Fergus.
Mayor Vandergrift announced the phone number for citizens watching the meeting on TV to call
with comments and questions.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
MODIFY OR TERMINATE SENIOR PROGRAM.
City Attorney Rosenthal summarized the history of the Senior Program and reviewed the
recent memoranda regarding the Program. Mayor Vandergrift asked Mr. Rosenthal to reveal
his response when he had asked if Mr. Rosenthal could defend the Program. Mr. Rosenthal
said he had responded that it would be appropriate for the City to retain special counsel because
his prior opinions regarding the Program would make it difficult for him to defend the City in
the event the Program is challenged.
Prior to opening the public hearing, Mayor Vandergrift requested those who wished to speak
to limit their remarks to five minutes with no questions, and Commissioner Gleason added that
2
Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting
August 15, 1995
the remarks should not be redundant. Commissioner Glass noted that, contrary to the rumors,
the purpose of the meeting was to discuss termination or modification of the Program, not just
termination.
Commissioner Glass briefly repeated his alternate plan which had been presented to
Commission at the Budget Workshop. The plan retains the age requirements, but differs from
the existing program as follows:
1) Eliminate the current tax rebate.
2) Eliminate the durational residency requirement and eliminate the owner/renter distinction.
3) Set an income eligibility level as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
4) Establish a specified application period as soon as possible to assure that those truly
needy persons on the Program would not be left without benefits until the modifications
could be implemented.
5) Set a ceiling amount for the first year (FY95-96) and divide it by the eligible number
of applicants who qualify during the qualification period.
Commissioner Glass proposed that only one grant of benefits be awarded to a household and
the grant should not exceed the actual cost of that household's water and garbage usage for that
year.
Conunissioner Gleason said that his proposal was similar to Commissioner Glass's except that
the City of Ocoee should not administer the Program, but rather that task should be turned over
to Seniors First, an agency already equipped to service the needs of the elderly. He proposed
giving a grant to Seniors First to be used for seniors in Ocoee only. He introduced Ms. Jan
Kerlin, vice president of programs for Seniors First, and Mr. Wayne Gardner, director of social
services. Mr. Gardner spoke briefly regarding the advantages of having an agency with their
resources and training taking care of the needs of the seniors.
The public hearing was opened.
Mr. James Skirvin, 615 Banderas, said he does not want welfare but he does feel betrayed, that
the Program was not illegal in the beginning.
Ms. Nancy Parker, 6748 Sawmill Blvd, spoke representing the residents of Sawmill, saying that
they want to be sure they do not lose the benefits they are entitled to because of a lawsuit.
Mr. Euart Witt, 317 Hormigas St., said he had visited 105 people and 102 had signed a
petition urging Commission to retain the Over 65 Program and defend it in court if necessary.
3
Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting D [-131-1\August 15, 1995
That petition and similar ones handed to the City Clerk during and after the meeting are on file.
There were 483 signatures on the petitions.
Mr. John Casisa, 5029 Lighterwood Ct., said that the only way to make the Program fair is
to follow Commissioners Glass and Gleason's proposals for change.
Mr. William McNamee, 1202 Wurst Road, said that the Program costs him less than $10.00
per year, that several of his neighbors benefit from the Program and he wanted to be sure that
if it is modified, that not one month is missed.
Mr. Nicholas Pagano, 201 Olympus Drive, said that he does not want anyone to lose their
benefits, but he does want the Program changed to include all over 65, not just homeowners and
not just those who have been residents for a certain length of time.
Mr. Tommie Sanders, 96 Deer Key Ct., said he is finally old enough to get the benefits and
he wants the benefits for the citizens of Ocoee, but does not care about foreigners.
Mr. J. Lester Dabbs, Jr. (former Mayor/Commissioner), 619 Caborca Ct., recalled when the
same issue was before Commission when he was in office. He said some modification was in
order, but every assurance should be made that no one on the Program would lose anything.
He asked if there was really a difference between the City allocating tax dollars to this Program
and the City of Tampa guaranteeing $45,000 to fill a baseball stadium.
Mr. Vern Combs (former Commissioner), 310 Sabinal St., noted that he had asked for a
citizens committee to review the Program when he was serving on Commission, and he had
appointed Mr. Bill Stinnett, author of the Program, to serve on the committee. He said that he
believes this Commission has the citizens' needs at heart and he encouraged Commission to
make the right legal decision.
Mayor Vandergrift read the following telephone messages into the record:
1) Mr. Eric Bolinsky, 322 N. Durango, suggested running the Program like social security
is run, i.e., everyone pay a dollar amount for x number of years, then at age 65 draw
from the fund.
2) Mr. Mike McEvers, 909 Hyland Springs Dr., admonished that two months ago a
citizens commission should have been appointed to meet with an independent counsel to
make proper recommendations to this Commission.
3) Mr. James Bowers, 506 Shumard Ct., said that there are 18,000 citizens in Ocoee; the
seniors and children have it rough enough. He said surely we can afford $10 out of
pocket to take care of the senior citizens.

Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting U n c
August 15, 1995 A W
Mrs. Betty Goble, 1118 Caballero Rd., told about her financial position and expressed
appreciation to Seniors First for their aid. She asked Commission to not cut the Program out
entirely but to just stop the wrong part.
Mr. Bill Winsemann, 2702 Coventry Lane, said that he came in to say that the Program should
be left intact, but after hearing the presentation of alternatives to the Program, he was not so
sure that was his position. He cautioned Commission to be wary of getting caught up in
legalities and more wary of taxes going up. He said that local control is the key.
Mrs. Nancy Parker asked that someone guarantee her that continuing the benefits would not
cause money to be withheld from needed emergency equipment.
Mr. Peter Neri, 803 Ridgefield Ave., asked how big the tax base was in 1975. He said if the
Program was legal then it is legal now, and the City should live up to its promises.
Mr. Philip Mishalanie, 206 E. Silver Star Road, said the City should let volunteers run the
Program.
Commissioner Glass read the phone question (which was directed to him) from Mr. Tom
Green, 1405 Wanda St., asking, "Why is it that people who are not eligible for benefits become
victims?" Commissioner Glass responded that if a single mom with 3 children is helping to pay
for this Program, she is a victim.
RECESS 9:10 P.M. TO 9:25 P.M.
Mayor Vandergrift read the following phone messages:
1) Mrs. Bruni Massa, 611 E. Lakeshore Drive, agreed that the seniors who need help
should get help, but those with a nice retirement should be reconsidered.
2) Mr. Jerry Henderson, 475 N. Durango Ave., said his parents have been on the
Program, Dad died several weeks ago and Mother will be on fixed income. He asked
that the Program not be stopped.
3) Mrs. Nancy Reilly, 1335 Olympia Park Cir., said that citizens owe the seniors
something but the Program needs modification.
4) Mr. Jerry Neil, no address given, asked why politicians act like clowns. He said he did
not like the way Commissioners joked about the last senior citizen's speech.
5) Mr. Horace Peterson, 808 Ursula Street, said that the Program needs modification, and
people with 3 or 4 houses should not be on the Program, but it should continue being run
by the City.

Ocoee City Commission Regular Meeting1.111Lr LJ n
August 15, 1995
The public hearing was closed and the issue was brought to the table for discussion. After each
member had expressed his position, Mayor Vandergrift, seconded by Commissioner Johnson,
moved to retain the Program for the next budget year, and empower a committee similar to that
one of 1990, to review the Program during that time as to costs, legality, and financial
feasibili and evaluate establishin. a non-.rofit foundation . Motion carried 3-2 with Ma or
Vander!rift Commissioner Foster and Commissioner Johnson votin. " ea " and Commissioner
Glass and Commissioner Gleason voting "no."
Mayor Vandergrift said that Mr. Rosenthal had just advised him that special counsel could also
be assigned to the committee.
RECESS 10:25 P.M. - 10:43 P.M.
Date for Last Budget Workshop.
Consensus was reached to cancel the workshop scheduled for August 21, to hold the last budget
workshop on Tuesday, August 22, 1995 at 7:00 p.m. in the community center, and to direct
City Clerk to post this information for the public.
AWARD OF COMMERCIAL SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE.
City Manager Shapiro presented the staff report and stated for the record that Western Waste
Industries intends to bring in new containers.
The public hearing was opened.
Mr. Jim Gillean, Western Waste Industries, was present to answer any questions.
Commissioner Gleason said that usually the bids were very close, but this bid looked too good
to be true. Mr. Gillean responded that he could only speak for his company, but the Ocoee
route fits into his company's style and schedule. Commissioner Johnson said he wanted to
make sure the reduced rates were passed on to the consumer. City Attorney Rosenthal pointed
out that the public hearing was required by City Charter and the advertising four consecutive
weeks 30 days prior to the public hearing had been done according to the requirements as well.
He stated further that, at the next regular meeting following the award, a resolution establishing
the rates would be brought before Commission.
As there were no further comments from the public, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Gleason, seconded by Commissioner Glass, moved to accept the proposal of
Western Waste Industries to take over the commercial solid waste collection franchise in the City
of Ocoee, approve the Commercial/Multi-family Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement

ORDINANCE No. 95-20, REPEALING ORDINANCE No. 95-18 AND ADOPTING NEW
OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE RECLASSIFICATIONS AND RATES.
This Ordinance was presented by title only for the second reading and public hearing.
The public hearing was opened.
Administrative Services Director Beamer stated for the record that all studies that have been
approved up to this point are still incorporated in this Ordinance. There were no substantive
changes; the only change was that the additional advertising has been done. She added that the
bills have gone out with the new rates and staff is answering questions as they come in.
Ms. Claudia B. Gallimore, 1504 Wurst Road, addressed Commission regarding the increase
in license fees and asked how she would appeal to have the fees changed, as she believed her
fee to be out of line. Ms. Beamer responded that the studies were available for her review, and
she explained that Seminole County did not do a license update as they do not intend to take the
revenue away from their municipalities as Orange County has done. She explained some of the
deliberations of the Equity Study Commission in reaching their recommendation and invited Ms.
Gallimore to review the records of those deliberations.
Commissioner Gleason noted that he felt that there was inequity in the system as he rents a
small amount of equipment and sells a service and is paying a very high rate for the rental part
of his business.
The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Foster, seconded by Commissioner Glass, moved to adopt Ordinance No. 95-20
as presented. Motion carried 5-0.
PATRICIA AND ALLEN BOND ROADWAY VACATION APPLICATION.

WAY.

Ocoee City Conunission Regular Meeting
August 15, 1995
Planning Director Wagner presented the staff report recommending approval of Patricia and
Allen Bond's request to vacate a 140' portion of an unnamed 30' wide road right-of-way situated
north of their property at 295 N. Lakeshore Drive in Ocoee. Mr. Wagner said that the street
has never been known to be paved or used for public access to Starke Lake and no utilities exist
within the right-of-way. He said further that he has determined that the proposed vacation is
not inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Wagner noted that the comment letters
from surrounding property owners expressing their concern regarding losing their view of the
lake had been distributed with the packet.
The public hearing was opened.
Mrs. Pat Bond, petitioner, displayed a drawing of the property on the overhead projector and
noted that the 30' is within the legal description of their property. She added that they wish to
build a single story garage on the parcel and will not be coming back before Commission asking
for a variance as they have done their homework.
Mrs. Marian Mishalanie, 206 E. Lakeshore Drive, said they were prevented from putting a
dock with a screened building on it close to that same location and could not understand how
the rules could change that much.
Mr. Philip Mishalanie, 206 E. Lakeshore Drive, said that their view of the lake is obscured
by a block wall which is the Bond's house, and he was sure their septic tank was illegal.
Mrs. Bond responded that the reason the Mishalanies could not build on the lakefront was that
their lot was 25' wide and so they could not meet the setback requirements. The Bond property
fronts on the lake 100'. She said also that the septic tank, built in 1982, was fully permitted
by the proper authorities at that time.
Mrs. Charlotte Marchant, 202 E. Lakeshore Drive, said she understood that in a right-of-way
vacation one-half of the vacated portion goes to each adjacent property owner. City Attorney
Rosenthal said that if the vacation occurs, the City Commission is not saying who gets the
property as it does not have that authority and other issues of law go into that decision.
Mrs. Ruth Minor, 614 Gallego Avenue, said that if the City has a right to the land it should
not abandon it as there is very little public access to the lake.
The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Glass, seconded by Commissioner Gleason, moved to vacate the right-of-way
as requested by the petitioner and adopt Resolution No. 95-12 as presented. Motion carried 3-1

FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE No. 95-21, AMENDING GENERAL EMPLOYEE PENSION FUND
ORDINANCE No. 91-08. SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER
5, 1995.
This Ordinance was presented by title only for the first reading. Mayor Vandergrift announced
that the second reading and public hearing would be held September 5, 1995 at 7:30 p.m. in the
commission chambers.
DISCUSSION RE: LOCATIONS FOR BATHROOMS ALONG LAKEFRONT FOR STARKE LAKE.
Recreation Director Beech presented the staff report, showing three options for the location of
the bathrooms for Starke Lake: Site 1 located next to the boat trailer parking area, Site 2 on the
southeast corner of the Community Center campus, and Site 3 near the Gazebo.
Mayor Vandergrift, seconded by Commissioner Glass, moved to place the bathrooms at Site
1, near the boat trailer parking area. Motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Beech then presented the options for the design of the building and the options of using
sewer, septic tank or waste reduction system.

August 15, 1995
Road from approximately the east boundary of The Hammocks subdivision east to Clarke Road,
as required by the Development Agreements between the City and Homart and the City and
Lake Lotta Center developer.
In response to Mayor Vandergrift's question about the circumstances surrounding the timing on
this project, City Attorney Rosenthal explained that this related to a specific condition in the
Lake Lotta Center DRI Development Order and the Lake Lotta Mall DRI Development Order
that require that each project contribute $250,000 which would be used solely for the design,
engineering and construction of a program to reduce the curvature of the portion of White Road
west of Clarke Road. He said the confusion may be about what may be spent with other sources
of funds.
After further discussion clarifying the agreements and details, Commissioner Glass, seconded
by Commissioner Gleason, moved to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Addendum
No. 95-01 to the Agreement for Consulting Engineering Services between PEC and the City of
Ocoee in the not-to-exceed amount of $139,447.70 for the design of the White Road
Improvements in accordance with PEC's proposal dated July 26, 1995. Motion carried 5-0.
DISCUSSION RE: ANTI-LITTER CAMPAIGN.
Concurrency Analyst Resnik presented the staff report and said that a decision must be made
and the order placed prior to September 30 in order for the City to be eligible for reimbursement
in the amount of a $946 grant from the state.
Mayor Vandergrift, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, moved (1) to authorize moving
$4,950 from the solid waste contingency fund to the litter prevention account (402-534-5310)
for this current fiscal year, (2) to place $800 in the FY1995-96 budget under the Parks,
Parkways, Trees, and Drainage Litter Prevention Program Account (001-541-5310) for
expenditures that will occur after the new fiscal year, and (3) to approve the proposed anti-litter
