3. Approval of the 2014/2015 Sanitation Division Capital Outlay Revision. (Public
Works Director Krug)
The City implemented the revised recycling collection program in August 2014, changing from
manually collecting recycled materials in bins to automated collection using 96 gallon carts with the
side arm loading (SAL) trucks as employed in the City's residential collection. Based on neighboring
Municipalities' experience, Public Works conservatively projected increased recycling volumes which
would be handled by three (3) SAL trucks. Participation in the revised recycle program has exceeded
projections, more than doubling the anticipated volume and requiring five (5) SAL trucks to collect the
increased recyclables. Utilizing the five (5) SAL trucks for recycling has changed the operational
needs of Sanitation.
Public Works has analyzed the effects of the overwhelming recycling participation and determined
both of the SAL trucks slated for surplus this year will need to be replaced in order to maintain a
serviceable truck fleet in Sanitation. The current Sanitation budget includes a single SAL replacement,
surplus of two nine (9) year old SAL trucks, along with adding a chipper truck operation to revise our
process of collecting tree debris. The revision to the tree debris collection will need to be curtailed as
the Team Members to be assigned to the operation are being utilized to meet the recycling demands.
Public Works is requesting the Commission approve Public Works' request to revise the Sanitation
Division's Capital Outlay to delete the proposed chipper truck and chipper in order to include an
additional SAL truck. This requested revision is adequately funded within the existing Sanitation
Capital Outlay budget.
4. Approval of Purchase of New Air Packs for the Fire Department. (Interim Fire
Chief Hoover)
The Ocoee Fire Department has been using Scott Air Packs for the last 11 years without any
complaints or problems. These current Air Packs are reaching the end of their life cycle and new
editions ofNFPA 1981/1982 standards have made these packs obsolete. The Ocoee Fire Department is
seeking the approval from the commission to move forward in the acquisition of new Scott X3 Air
Packs to replace our current Scott Air Packs in an effort to upgrade to the current edition of NFPA
standards and provide additional firefighter safety. Our neighboring fire departments, Winter Garden
and Orange County, are also moving toward replacing their current Air Packs with the same Scott Air
Pack, so by also making the change to these Air Packs will provide all three departments with
uniformity in Air Pack operations and aid in training and /or emergency operations.
5. Approval of Contracting with IBI Group (Florida) Inc. for the Installation of an
8 inch Reuse Main in Conjunction with the Spring Lake Reserve Subdivision.
(City Engineer Wheeler)
The Spring Lake Reserve subdivision was approved by the City Commission on July 1, 2014, and
began construction shortly afterward. The IBI Group (Florida) Inc. project consisted of installing the
infrastructure representative of a residential subdivision for 97 single family homes. The development
has connected to the City's potable system on A.D. Mims Road and an extension off of Sparkling
Water Circle in the Reflections subdivision and the sanitary sewer lift station located in the Reflections
subdivision on Sparkling Water Drive. Connection to the City's reuse system was made to the pipeline
on A.D. Mims Road.
The Ocoee Utilities Department has been experiencing some low pressures along Sparkling Water
Circle and has determined that connecting the Spring Lake Reserve reuse piping to the reuse system on
Sparkling Water Circle will alleviate these low pressures and allow for proper operation and coverage
of the residents irrigation systems. The Reflections subdivision is supplied reuse water through
connections from Clarke Road. Based upon hydraulic modeling, this third connection into the
"backside" of Reflections will alleviate the low pressure issue.
IBI Group was approached about installing this connection between the subdivisions. Their contractor
agreed to perform the work based upon prices established for his constructing the Spring Lake Reserve
infrastructure. IBI Group has offered to not add any mark up on their contractor's proposal. Therefore
the cost to install this 8 inch reuse pipeline will be $19,183.79.

6. Approval of Resolution for the Installation of Street Lighting on SR 50 as part of
FDOT's Widening Project from Good Homes Road to the Entrance to the West
Oaks Mall. (City Engineer Wheeler)
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is nearing completion of the widening of the
portion of SR 50 from Good Homes Road to the entrance to the West Oaks Mall. FDOT and the City
have been working together to have street lights installed along this portion of the road widening
project. FDOT originally designed high pressure sodium (HPS) lights for this section of the road
widening and secured a bid from Lane Construction Company for the installation as part of the overall
project. This is FDOT's standard design — HPS lights on 40 foot poles.
The City wanted to look at using LED lights as opposed to the HPS lights. City staff looked to move
towards newer technology lighting; and FDOT has allowed LED lights on a few highway projects as
test cases. Two main options were explored: the City designing, permitting, and constructing the lights
or the City contracting with Duke Energy Florida, Inc. to design, permit and install the lights. Duke
Energy provided the City with a cost proposal to design, permit, and install the LED street light system
for this section of the SR 50 widening. Duke Energy will perform routine maintenance, repairs and
replacements as needed, and maintain an inventory of pieces, parts, fixtures, poles, etc. Duke Energy
already has the trained personnel and equipment needed to install and maintain the lighting system.
Duke Energy's proposal to install the LED light system on the section of SR 50 from Good Homes
Road to the entrance to the West Oaks Mall is for $119,464.84.
FDOT is offering funding to the City for the installation of the LED street lights. The funding is not
required to be reimbursed, provided the City meets the terms and conditions of the Joint Participation
Agreement. The amount of funding being offered by FDOT is up to $120,000 to cover the cost of the
installation of the street lights. Lacking this agreement, the City would have to pay for the entire
lighting project out of its own funds.
7. Approval of the Amended 2014 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grant (JAG) Application 2015 -JAGC -2441. (Police Chief Brown)
This year, $10,645.00 has been made available for the City of Ocoee Police Department through the
Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). The Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grant (JAG) Formula Program Committee wishes to submit the attached 51% Letter to the Office of
Criminal Justice Grants in Tallahassee. This letter lists the various programs for which the
participating law enforcement agencies in Orange County plan to spend the $342,874.00 allocated to
them. The letter and accompanying grant application must be signed by the Mayor. If approved, the
City of Ocoee will receive $10,645.00 to purchase mobile rapid ID fingerprint technology.
Oftentimes, people who do not wish to reveal their true identities to law enforcement officers will give
false names and claim not to have identification on their persons. Gains in technology have allowed
law enforcement officers to identify people who have fingerprints on file by means of electronic
mobile rapid ID fingerprint scanners. By scanning a fingerprint and wirelessly transmitting that print
to be checked against electronic databases, officers can learn the identity of people in seconds, as
opposed to the hours or days of older models. The City of Ocoee Police Department has purchased,
tested, and evaluated Mobile Wireless Fingerprint Scanners. These mobile rapid ID fingerprint
scanners enable officers on the street to quickly identify individuals by cross matching their
fingerprints against the FDLE database. The agency would like to purchase five (5) mobile rapid ID
scanners, related software, warranty, and maintenance contracts with the money from the grant.
8. Approval of Purchase of Police Full Service K9 (and all associated medical and
training costs). (Police Chief Brown)
The City of Ocoee Police Department's K9 program currently has two officers assigned to the unit.
One officer has a full service K9 (Nitro) while the other officer has a narcotics only K9. The narcotics
only K9 (Ajsa) is in declining health, and it is the recommendation of her veterinarian that she be
retired as continued service will only accelerate her decline. In order to continue this valuable program
and enhance its capabilities, the agency wishes to utilize State forfeiture funds to purchase and train a
full service K9 to replace Ajsa. Full service police dogs can provide narcotics detection, conduct
searches for missing and endangered persons, and evidence, as well as provide criminal tracking and
apprehension. The estimated cost to purchase and train a new K9, and to have it medically examined
prior to purchase is $12,000.

9. Approval of Transfer of Ownership of Retiring Police K9 AJSA. (Police Chief
Brown)
The City of Ocoee Police Department's K9 program currently has two officers assigned to the unit.
One of the police K9s, Ajsa, is in declining health, and it is the recommendation of her veterinarian
that she be retired as continued service will only accelerate her decline. Ocoee Police Department must
find a home for Ajsa. The Ocoee Police Department has found a suitable party, Mr. Jordan Rehn, who
is ready to provide a home to Ajsa in her retirement years. Mr. Rehn is associated with Greenbriar Pet
Cemetery and has a unique background and familiarization with police K9s, being the son of a
neighboring police department's K9 trainer.
