Selection of Residential Solid Waste Service Level for Fiscal Year 2019/2020. (Public Works Director Krug) The City commission approved Resolution No. 2006-003 to provide for collection of Solid Waste fees through the annual Orange County tax roll. The agreement between City of Ocoee and Orange County Tax Collector requires the City to annually certify the non-ad valorem assessment roll by September 15th. City staff identified funding issues with the current level of service standard at the City Commission's Budget Workshop held on August 8, 2019. City staff is requesting Commission approval of service levels for the residential solid waste program to be incorporated in the 2019/2020 budget. If the City Commission wishes any resulting changes to impact the tax roll this year instead of one year from now, direction is needed in advance of the pending Budget Hearing scheduled for September 11, 2019 and the deadline for certification of changes to the tax roll of September 15, 2019. Staff will present options and the associated budget impacts. Public Works Director Krug discussed the City's residential solid waste program and indicated the current collection program needs to be updated which would require a service rate to be decided at this meeting. He advised the tax roll must be certified by September 15th, and due to the cancellation of the first Regular City Commission in September, a Special Meeting is required on September 11th during the Tentative Budget Hearing to certify the tax roll. If a rate is not chosen this evening, then any rate changes approved at a future meeting would not go into effect until January 2021. Public Works Director Krug discussed several options for recycling/garbage collection; and furthermore, his recommended service options are the following: • Maintain current service: $289.50 per year, $24.13 monthly, 15% increase. • Central drop location: $284.64 per year, $23.72 monthly, 13% increase. • Suspend recycling: $272.28 per year, $22.69 monthly, 8% increase. • Contract Service: $264.00 per year, $22.00 monthly, 4.8% increase. Commissioner Oliver inquired about the positions affected, and if the intended contractor has already stated that they are ready to employ the eleven positions. Public Works Director Krug shared the contractor is looking to employ some of the staff but not all. Pat Rzeszut, Waste Connections District Manager for Central Florida, addressed Commissioner Oliver's concern regarding the employment of affected personnel. He shared that the current employees already know the routes so they would want to bring them onboard with Waste Connections, assuming background checks and other requirements are met. Mayor Johnson inquired if it would be a pay-cut for the employees. Public Works Director Krug advised that the employees who have worked for the City over 25 years may experience a pay- cut but that is to be determined. Commissioner Oliver inquired if there are any clauses in the contract that allows the City to opt-out if they are not happy with the services. Public Works Director Krug answered that all contracts they enter have a termination clause. He further stated there is also the ability to incorporate penalties for customer service misses into the contract. Waste Connections has one of the lowest rates for being penalized in their contract which is why staff requested entering into the franchise with them for our solid waste services. Commissioner Oliver inquired if we have had any relationships with Waste Connections in the 6IPage Regular City Commission Meeting August 20,2019 past. Public Works Director Krug answered they have been providing the commercial solid waste program for the City for over 5 years. They are also the predominant vendor with the City for the construction and demolition debris. Mayor Johnson shared that there are two letters of recommendation on the dais, one from the City of Groveland and the other from the Town of Eatonville. Commissioner Firstner inquired if at the end of the contract they were not happy with the services, would it be more feasible to seek out another contract or bring the services back in- house. Public Works Director Krug shared it could go either way as it depends on the market. Commissioner Firstner confirmed that the contracted service option would continue the recycling program currently in place in the City. Public Works Director Krug answered in the affirmative. Commissioner Wilsen shared she made it known at the budget workshop that she is not interested in privatizing the solid waste services as the City tried it once before and it was not a great situation. She further commented that the rates have not been raised since 2008, which is 11 years ago. Now, they are in a situation to make a decision on an option because the City does not want to raise the rates of the customers. She further shared her concerns are on the service as well as the eleven employees who are currently employed. She confirmed that the City recyclables, for the most part, are typically sent to the landfill. Public Works Director Krug stated the City picks up the recycling, but it is too contaminated which is why it is sent to the landfill. Commissioner Wilsen commented that based on the options presented, it is a difference of$8.28 to maintain the services in-house with no recycling ($272.28) versus going with a private service ($264.00). Public Works Director Krug shared Waste Connections provides an option that allows them to handle recycling. Mr. Rzeszut explained they have a material recovery facility where they can take the recyclables so they can recover materials that allow them to truly recycle. He further explained the disposal they currently offer is taken in- house to their own landfills so there will not be an increase in the landfill disposal fee as can be implemented by Orange County where the City currently disposes. Commissioner Wilsen reiterated that she is still not seeking to privatize, and would like to keep services in-house. Commissioner Brinson shared he is also customer service oriented, and wanted to be sure that whatever service the City provides it is transparent to the customer. He shared a garbage situation that occurred yesterday with a resident in his district for which the City was able to resolve today, and that is the type of service he is seeking. He further inquired from Mr. Rzeszut if that was the type of service Waste Connections can provide. Mr. Rzeszut answered in the affirmative, explaining that in Lake County they were the lowest fined company. He further stated he can provide additional reference letters if needed. Public Works Director Krug advised Commissioner Brinson that there will be a full-time customer service representative assigned to the City, and his department would continue to take and handle any calls received by the residents, as he needs to know if things are not working. Mayor Johnson voiced that one of the responsibilities of the elected officials is to save money for the citizens and help lower rates. He agreed that when the City contracted out services years ago it did not go well, but that was in the past and the City took corrective measures. He realizes 7IPage Regular City Commission Meeting August 20,2019 the savings are small, but he feels any savings would be appreciated by the residents. Mayor Johnson shared he would have a problem if the employees were not given jobs, and asked that employees with 25 years be kept in the City and transferred internally. Discussion ensued on the service options that were summarized by Public Works Director Krug. Motion: Approval to privatize the residential solid waste services with the City's solid waste services franchisee Waste Connections for $264.00 per year which is $22.00 monthly and represents a 4.8 % increase; further, also include a 1.4% annual increase to the contract. Moved by Commissioner Firstner, seconded by Commissioner Brinson. Motion carried 4-1 with Commissioner Wilsen opposing.

Mayor Johnson shared that for the last two years the Human Relations Diversity Board (HRDB) has been working on an event to be held in 2020.

The Commission acknowledged his request. Economic Development Consultant Angel de la Portilla announced Mayor Demings is holding a Town Hall Meeting on August 21, 2019, at the Lynx Central Station located at 455 N Garland Ave, Orlando, FL 32801, to pursue a transportation sales tax referendum in November 2020. This referendum would support a one penny tax to improve transportation throughout Orange County. He continued by sharing many cities including Ocoee have put together a list of potential road projects to enhance transportation; and further, he intended to request an allocation of funds for transportation for dual enrollment students at Ocoee High School which would provide transportation to and from Valencia College. Mayor Johnson voiced that the Tri-County Mayors along with other City Managers have discussed a desire to see money allocated to specific Cities, based on size, in an effort to distribute the funds more evenly. He Wage Regular City Commission Meeting August 20,2019 disclosed that currently, a large portion of the money is being assigned to SunRail which does not affect the City of Ocoee, and noted if Mayor Demings would like the support of Ocoee, the referendum would need to provide assistance for improving county roads within the City.

The letter will be sent to Brian Brooks, on behalf of the members of the community, with the Commission being copied. Valeria Tuoley- Jenkins, 2525 Leaning Pine Street, Ocoee spoke regarding the rental fee for the Ocoee Lakeshore Center. She shared she believes the pricing for Ocoee residents should be reconsidered as many of the surrounding City's rental fees are noticeably lower and provide a discount to their residents. She understands that Ocoee does offer a 10% discount to residents, but given the high rental fee, it is still considerably cheaper to go outside the City. Mayor Johnson shared that staff had conducted a price comparison when they proposed the fees, but acknowledged the Commission should reconsider a lower resident rate. Further discussion ensued and Consensus of the Board was to have Staff look at the Ocoee Lakeshore Center rental rates, and bring back information to the City Commission at the October 1st meeting. COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS - 8:07 MI Commissioner Brinson — Shared while attending the Florida League of Cities Conference compensation for the Commission was addressed. Upon further review, he determined that the City's current compensation policy was adopted in 1996, executed in 1998, and has not been addressed since that time. Assistant City Manager Shadrix explained the compensation for the Mayor and City Commissioners consists of three (3) categories: salary, stipend, and medical benefits. An Ocoee elected official's annual salary is determined by Ordinance #96-23. Any change to the salary must be by Ordinance which requires two (2) readings. He also noted that pursuant to the City's Charter, an increase to the annual salary would not become effective until the date of commencement for the City Commission members elected at the next regular city election, provided that such election is at least six (6) months following the adoption of the ordinance. The City's next election is in March 2021. Thus, that would be the earliest a salary adjustment would be effective, and the ordinance implementing such salary change would need to be adopted prior to mid-September 2020. The current stipend, which is to offset local travel expenditures, is governed by Resolution 2001-13, as amended by Resolution 2002-21. A change to the stipend may be done by Resolution, as opposed to an Ordinance. The total monetary compensation for the Mayor (salary + stipend) is $9,300 annually.
