CONSENT AGENDA
ALL MATTERS LISTED UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE AND WILL BE ACTED
UPON BY ONE MOTION. THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS UNLESS DISCUSSION IS
DESIRED BY A MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION,IN WHICH CASE THE MAYOR WILL INSTRUCT THE CITY CLERK
TO REMOVE THAT ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND SUCH ITEM WILL BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY.
1. Approval of the Minutes for the Regular City Commission Meeting held March 19,
2019. (City Clerk Sibbitt)
2. Approval of New Appointment to the Citizen Advisory Council for Ocoee Police
Department. (City Clerk Sibbitt)
Members of the Citizen Advisory Council for Ocoee Police Department serve a three-year term. The
Resolution creating the Board allows no more than fifteen (15) members. Currently, the Board has nine (9)
members. One application has been received by Brad Lomneck who has shown an interest in being appointed
to the Citizen Advisory Council for Ocoee Police Department for a term ending January 2020.
3. Land Acquisition — Downtown Master Stormwater System. (Assistant City Manager
Shadrix)
The City needs to acquire certain property necessary for the Downtown Master Stormwater Pond Project subject
to Commission approval.
4. Approval of Resolution and State Highway Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement.
(Public Works Director Krug)
This agreement provides for funding from Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to the City for
routine maintenance activities on several State highways within Ocoee's corporate limits.The work order under
this agreement will provide Ocoee with an annual payment of$30,200.00 for the duration of the three(3)year
term. This figure reflects a 20%increase from the previous agreement. Public Works recommends approving
the new State Highway Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement with the FDOT.

5. Approval to Continue the Use of the County Solid Waste Management System. (Public
Works Director Krug)
The City has historically utilized the County solid waste management system to dispose of residential and
commercial solid waste. The interlocal agreement between the City and Orange County expired in September,
2011. On October 18, 2011, the City Commission ratified a letter of intent from the County to continue to
receive County solid waste management services under the terms of the expired interlocal agreement until a
new agreement was reached.There is currently no incentive for the City to enter into a new contract until such
time as the largest city in the County enters into a similar agreement as their larger volume of dedicated waste
tonnage would be the catalyst to further lower tipping fees.The City Commission previously authorized use of
the County solid waste management system through April 30, 2019. While we await a beneficial interlocal
agreement, Public Works seeks City Commission authorization to continue to use the County solid waste
management system to dispose of residential and commercial solid waste until a new agreement is reached or
April 30,2020.
6. Approval to Piggyback on Orange County's Contract for Sidewalk Replacement with
RMS Construction Group. (Public Works Director Krug)
The current City budget included adding two dedicated positions for repairing and replacing concrete sidewalk.
Due to the robust construction market in Central Florida,Public Works has been delayed in filling the positions
for the concrete work.Public Works has researched options for completing a portion of this work and has found
an existing Orange County repair contract the City is able to utilize for a portion of this work program. Public
Works has reviewed the contract pricing and is proposing to utilize up to $73,000.00 budgeted in the Street
Division for Sidewalk Maintenance, Road Repairs and Contractual Services allocated for Day Labor and
Striping. Utilizing the repair contract will allow the City to have a significant impact on the sidewalks in the
Rose Hill Subdivision, Lake Olympia and Lake Olympia Club Subdivisions,Orchard Park Subdivision and on
Clarke Road from AD Mims to Clarcona Ocoee. Public Works will have sufficient funds remaining in the
budget to complete the normal repairs in-house for the remainder of the fiscal year. Public Works recommends
approval to piggyback on the Orange County Contract Y17-1099-B with RMS Constructors Group,LLC.
7. Approval of the 2018/2019 Solid Waste Fund Capital Outlay for Vehicle Purchase.
(Public Works Director Krug)
The current budget for the Sanitation Division originally included the purchase of two(2)rear load trucks for
yard waste collection. One truck is for replacement and one was for a new route. During the reorganization of
the Solid Waste Division, it was determined a larger grapple truck would better serve our expanding City's
needs than an additional rear-load truck. Additionally, the new Solid Waste Coordinator position requires a
truck able to pull a trailer for cart deliveries and replacements. Public Works was not able to incorporate this
revision into the budget before approval.The cost of the requested grapple truck and pickup truck is adequately
funded in the budget. Public Works is requesting Commission approval to revise the Capital Outlay for the
Solid Waste Fund to reflect the revised vehicle purchase.
8. Approval of Change Order No. 2 for #B18-02 for the Wastewater Treatment #2
Operations Building Expansion Project. (Utilities Director Smith)
The Operations Building for Wastewater Treatment Plant No.2 was built in the late 1980's to house City staff
and equipment needed to operate and maintain the wastewater treatment process.Over the years,modifications
have been made to the building to improve the working environment and to accommodate for the advances in
technology. During construction to expand the square footage of the Operations Building, the contractor
(Brodway Contracting)came across unforeseen conflicts/repairs as follows: Old lighting protection not up to
code; structure needed at existing staircase and landing for erosion control; electrical box and conduit
conflicting with work area.In addition,the initial design from Rhodes&Brito Architects, Inc.,had a work area
that did not encompass the entire building and included new features that are inconsistent with existing areas.
To keep the old and new sections of the building unified,the contractor and City staff proposed the following
changes/additions: installation of drywall on constructed block walls to match existing walls;existing flooring
retiled to match constructed floors; installation of a new staircase and sidewalk;replacement of existing doors
to match proposed doors;modification of existing rear window to match proposed windows.Staff is requesting
an increase in funding for the Wastewater Treatment #2 Operations Building Expansion by $50,000.00; and
approval of Change Order No.2 with Brodway Contracting in the amount of$44,631.00.

13. Proposed Language and Location for a November 1920 Election Day Massacre Historic
Marker; Clarification of 441 Basking Ridge Court Property Status. (Support Services
Director Butler)
Last Fall, the City Commission issued a proclamation regarding the November 1920 Election Day Massacre
and endorsed a general plan for recognition of this event, including installation of a marker in Lakefront Park
and a public gathering to be held in 2020 for the 100th Anniversary of this tragic event. As part of this
continuing effort, the Human Relations Diversity Board (HRDB), a city advisory committee, developed
language for a historic marker as part of the Equal Justice Initiative. The HRDB later separated from the EJI
program and instead proposed that the marker become part of the program operated by the Florida Department
of State.City staff subsequently edited the language to fit within the 1,235 character limit.The existing granite
monument recognizing the November 1920 event is located at 441 Basking Ridge Ct., which had reportedly
been the site of a historic African-American cemetery.Extensive investigations conducted by multiple agencies
led to the conclusion that it was most likely not a cemetery.Staff,therefore,feels that it is not a suitable location
for the historic marker or the existing monument. A reflective seating area in Lakefront Park that would house
both the monument and the marker is proposed. Staff seeks approval to use up to$15,000 in budgeted capital
funds to construct the seating area.
