1. Approval of Minutes for the Regular Commission Meeting Held February 17,
2015. (City Clerk Eikenberry)
2. Approval of Replacement Grit Turntable #2 Equipment for Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP). (Utilities Director Smith)
The City of Ocoee's wastewater treatment plant utilizes duplicate grit removal units; for the pre-
treatment process (turn table and pumps). This equipment's function removes materials such as rocks,
sand, and debris from the treatment process and is not biodegradable. Left in the incoming wastewater
stream the material will cause damage to other equipment, derogates the treatment process and settles
downstream requiring cleaning and treatment down time.
Grit table #2 (Smith and Loveless Pista Grit) was part of the treatment plant's original specific
equipment and has been in continuous service for more than 15 years. The WWTP's pre - treatment is
specifically designed and constructed around the Smith and Loveless Pista Grit removal system. Due
Regular City Commission

to age, wear, and tear this unit has passed its normal life expectancy and needs to be replaced. Sanders
& Company is the "single source" distributor for Smith and Loveless Pista Grit equipment in the South
East region of the US. Sanders and Company is the only supplier of the equipment, thus the City has
obtained a proposal from Filter One Co. to install the grit pump. Staff recommends approval of the
Smith and Loveless Pista Grit from Sanders and Company as the single source vendor in amount of
$26,836.00 and authorizes the City Manager to contract with Filter One Co. to install the grit
equipment for $14,978.00 for a total replacement expense $41,814.00.
3. Approval of the Renewal of the Rental Lease Agreement for Station 38. (Interim
Fire Chief Hoover)
Station 38 is currently housed in a store front location next to Publix on West Road. The Fire
Department entered into a 3 -year rental lease agreement that began on May 7, 2012, and will end on
May 7, 2015. The Fire Department is seeking the approval of the Commission to renew this lease
agreement for 2 years beginning May 7, 2015, and ending on May 7, 2017.
4. Approval of Award of Bid #B15 -03 Resurfacing of Swimming Pool. (Purchasing
Agent Tolbert)
In conformance with the policies and procedures of the City of Ocoee (City), bids were solicited from
qualified contractors to perform the Resurfacing of the Swimming Pool at the Ocoee Family Aquatic
Center located at the Jim Beech Recreation Center, located at 1 820 A.D. Mims Road. Opening day for
this facility is May 1, 2015; all work shall be substantially completed no later than March 31, 2015,
and the entire work shall be complete and ready for its intended use, including final dressing and
cleanup, by April 7, 2015.
The bid was publicly advertised on February 8, 2015, and opened on February 23, 2015. A mandatory
pre -bid conference /site visit was held on February 17, 2015. There was a single bid received from
Classic Marcite Inc. for $39,500.00. The Parks and Recreation and Finance Departments reviewed the
bid and it was considered responsive. Staff recommends awarding the bid to Classic Marcite Inc. as a
responsive and responsible bidder, per recommendation from Jeff Hayes, Parks and Recreation
Director.
5. Approval of Renewal of School Resource Officer Agreement with Orange
County Public Schools. (Police Chief Brown)
The Ocoee Police Department provides one (1) DARE officer to five (5) elementary schools, one (1)
School Resource Officer to one (1) middle school, and two (2) School Resource Officers to one (1)
high school, all of which are located within the city limits of Ocoee. An annual agreement between the
City and the School Board of Orange County is required in order for the Police Department to
understand its officers' responsibilities and for the City to be reimbursed by the School Board of
Orange County for a portion of the officers' salaries. This agreement is effective from July 1, 2014, to
June 30, 2015. A similar agreement was previously reviewed by the City Attorney and approved by the
City Commission for 2013 -2014.
The agreement reimburses the City a total of $126,562.50 for providing the four (4) officers for the
schools located within the City limits.
6. Approval for Separate Surplus Auction of Computing and Audiovisual
Equipment. (Support Services Director Butler)
As previously approved by the City Commission, the city is undertaking a number of technology -based
activities. These projects include revamping its programming and broadcast equipment in City Hall,
upgrading the performance and reliability of the city's computer network, and replacing portions of the
Police Department's computer hardware and software in preparation for switching to Winter Garden
dispatch services. All of this work has created a fairly sizable collection of obsolete and /or broken
equipment that needs to be sold soon to free office space. As with the previously approved separate
auction for telecommunications equipment, commercial markets exist for the sale of the surplus IT and
AV equipment, too.
Staff recommends the City Commission authorize the sale of surplus IT and AV equipment on the
secondary market. Much of this equipment has already been identified and removed from service and
can be sold immediately upon City Commission authority to do so. Staff will work with its network
consultant to offer the products for sale and facilitate the best opportunity to generate revenue for the
city.

Regular City Commission
March 3, 2015
A representative of Federal National Mortgage Assn. C /O: Choice Legal Group PA, the new property
owner, appeared before the Code Enforcement Board on January 27, 2015, and requested a reduction
of the fine /lien for Case No. 07 -106 in the amount of $8,900.00, plus $970.59 in City costs totaling
$9,870.56., and for Case No.10 -049 in the amount of $15,000.00, plus $1,273.64 in City costs totaling
$16,273.64. The Code Enforcement Board recommends the fine /lien be reduced to $970.59 for Case
No. 07 -106 and $3,273.64 for Case No. 10 -049, which is the cost to the City and a penalty for the
negative blighted impact on the neighborhood and the city. The decision by the Board to reduce the
amount was based on testimony and answers from the representative of U.S. Bank National
Association Trustee and city staff.
