The City has a continuing contract for park and recreation design services with the firm of Bellomo-Herbert &
Co., Inc. Work under this contract is authorized by purchase order following the specification of a scope of
work by the City and negotiation of a price proposal. A project budget of $478,411.05 for design and
construction includes $278,411.05 in City funds and $200,000 in a State FRDAP matching grant. The proposed
design work will develop construction plans and acquire environmental permits to build these improvements,
which include restrooms, multi-purpose ballfield, additional parking, boardwalk and fishing pier, landscaping,
and various park amenities (e.g., benches and picnic tables). Future work is likely to include creation of a trail
syste~,,~o the west of the formal recreational facilities.
to
During the course of construction, various design elements were judged by the City to benefit from
modification in location and specification. The most significant owner-directed change was in the design and
construction of the weir structure that diverts water from the Northwest Ditch into the new stormwater pond
was originally a fixed earthen dam. A concrete weir structure with a removable gate was designed as an
alternative that would allow diversion of the water around the pond for maintenance. Other changes made
under owner direction were to build a reinforced concrete driveway apron across the shallow force main on this
side of Palm Drive, relocate the sidewalk to a location adjacent to the parking area in order to facilitate access,
and install additional riprap along the inflow channel. Deletions made were the result of reducing the amount of
storm drain piping required and elimination of the Orange County building permit fee by annexing the property
into the City. Construction of the regional stormwater pond is funded by a State grant.

Southern Site Works is presently under contract to the City of Ocoee to provide turn lanes and a new traffic
signal for West Road/Crown Point Parkway at Ocoee-Apopka Road as part of an ongoing Orange County
project to realign West Road and Ocoee Crown Point Parkway. The work has been completed, although there
was considerable delay related to accommodation of conflicting utilities. The proposed change order will
closeout the project by reconciling final unit quantities and recognizing the additional work required to provide
pedestrian access through the intersection, as jointly determined with Orange County. The additional work, all
of which was owner-directed, was the result of a cooperative effort between Orange County and the City of
Ocoee; Orange County also incurred charges related to these improvements. The change order includes an
official time extension of 82 days for the project; there are no associated costs.

The proposed Fountains at Highland Park is a mixed-use development consisting of professional office, medical
office, and accessory retail and restaurant. This mixed-use office park will also include amenities for the users
including a feature pond, walkways surrounding the property and benches located at each building consistent
with the city requirements. Each lot will be sold as fee simple with a mandatory Property Owners Association.
Therefore, owners of each building will be responsible for maintenance of the infrastructure and amenities. The
total project will be developed in two phases. The Preliminary Subdivision Plan proposes seventeen (17)
commercial lots, which are sized to fit the proposed building structures with the exception of Lot 17. All of the
lots will be serviced by common tracts (Tracts "A," "B" and "C"). These tracts of land will address the need for
the requisite infrastructure (access, parking, sidewalks, landscaping, etc.) improvements.

construction at their school. Hope Charter School completed their project last week and installed
the playground equipment. Hope Charter is requesting an extension on the deadline and asks that
the City issue the $2,500 matching grant. City Manager Frank said no money was encumbered

extension and pay the $2,500 arant to Hope Charter School from the continaency
fund. Motion carried 5-0.

Commissioner Keller said the Human Relations Diversity Board felt that it would be a good
idea to bring back the OrisiRisi African Folklore Program back because of the great success in
2004. Mr. Don Harrell, said he and his wife put on a small program in Ocoee in 2004 and it
was picked up and replayed by Orange TV. He said many people have told him how much they
enjoyed it and he would like to do an even larger program this year. He said the Ocoee Middle
School has invited them to be guests in their performing arts department for four days and to
work with students who will be part of the program. He said he will provide costumes and
instruments and do a performance for the school and an evening for the City. He stated the cost
of the program would be $2500; he was not making a profit from this. There was discussion
among the Commission regarding the HRDB's $2,000 budget and other events they are trying to
sponsor. Commissioner Johnson said they should do fundraisers to pay for some portions of
these events because the Commission cannot give them more money without giving it to any
other board who asked for it. Commissioner Hood agreed and said everyone knows what the
Commission went through during the budget process to cut costs; we cannot keep making
changes after the fact.
This item was moved up before Item # 1.
Commissioner Keller moved to arant $1000 to the HRDB offset their costs for the
OrisiRisi proaram. Motion died for lack of second.
Commissioner Anderson said he would agree to give them $500 and let them use their $2000 to
fund the difference. They will have to do fundraisers for their other events.
Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Anderson moved to arant $~
to the HRDB Board toward the $2500 cost of the proaram. Motion carried 3-2 with
Commission Johnson and Commissioner Hood opposed.

make it a fine or code violation where the person would basically receive a citation. Chief
Brown said most people voluntarily comply when they receive a citation. Without obiection.
