used throughout the year to promote and market the City at numerous events: Job recruitment fairs;
Police and Fire Dept. recruitment fairs; Safety Spring Fling; Founder’s Day Festival; National Night
Out; Irrigation Workshops; neighborhood association meetings; school and community events. A
perfect opportunity to set up the display would be at the Congress of Cities to be held in Orlando on

showcase its Employee Health Center program at the Congress of Cities. The tabletop display would
be set up at the event to effectively showcase the Employee Heath Center. Thousands of

Permanent Electric Power Distribution Easement between the City of Ocoee and
Progress Energy for Lakeshore Drive Improvements. (City Engineer Wheeler)
In preparation for the work on Lakeshore Drive and the future City Hall regional stormwater retention
pond, the electric power service to City Hall from Bluford Avenue was converted from overhead to
underground service and relocated to the lake side of the building. In addition, a new transformer had
to be installed to provide power to the Starke Lake aeration fountain. Power to the City Hall building
is now routed from the lift station power feed west of the employee parking lot down the south side of
that parking lot, and then north across the front lawn of City Hall to the transformer located at the
northeast corner of the building. A new power easement is required to protect the underground power
line and the new pad-mounted transformer. The City Council approved the cost of this work in an
agreement with Progress Energy at its March 18, 2008, meeting.

Condemnation. (City Attorney Solik)
The City needs to acquire the easement necessary to extend utilities through the Woodbery Family
LLP property to the east of Arden Park Phase 1 property. The City has had the necessary easement
appraised by Dan DeRango of DeRango Best & Associates who arrived at an appraised value of
$19,710.00. The City has made an offer to purchase the easement from the Woodbery family at its
appraised value, but the WoodberyFamily has rejected the City’s offer and it appears that voluntary
acquisition is unlikely.
