The City continues to sponsor a seniors program which pays monthly water and solid waste fees for
resident senior citizens that were participants in the program at the time the program was frozen.
Currently there are 184 participants. Staff is requesting transfer of funding for the Seniors Program for

Waste fees- ($43,000).
4. Approval of St. Johns River Water Management District Mitigation Parcel
Acquisition. (Senior Planner Howell)
The "Pine Street Parcel" is located on the north side of Pine Street and south of the Crown Point
Woods Subdivision. It is approximately 13 acres in size. The City ofOcoee, on behalf of the St. John's
River Water Management District, petitioned the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority for
the purchase of the subject property to allow for the creation of a nature park and environmentally
enhanced stormwater management system along the area known as the northwest ditch for the ultimate
purpose of allowing the filtration of stormwater going into Lake Apopka. The agreed upon purchase
price to be paid for the land was $390,000, with funds made available from the water management

district. During the negotiations, the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority stipulated that the
property would be sold as-is, and any future problems that arose would be the concern of the buyer.
During the due diligence phase, a survey of the property indicated several encroachments from outside
properties. These encroachments included a fence along the northern property line, an asphalt
driveway along the eastern side of the property, and a creek flowing along the northwestern boundary
of the property. These encroachments prevented the surveyor from staking the boundaries of the
property correctly. Taking these issues into account, the water management district calculated a
diminished value and area caused by these encroachments, and lowered the amount of available funds
for the purchase price by $13,000 to $377,000. In order to prevent prolonging legal negotiations for
several months, staff is proposing to utilize $13,000 of Park Impact Fees to account for the full
purchase price of$390,000.
5. Approval of Motorola Radio Service Agr:eement FY 2006/2007. (Police Chief
Reffett)

30,2007.

7. Ocoee Pines (tka Whispering Pines) - Annexation Ordinance. (Second Reading and
Public Hearing scheduledfor November 7, 2006). (Principal Planner Fabre)
Ocoee Golf, LLC, the applicant, is requesting annexation of the subject property into the jurisdictional
boundary of the City of Ocoee. The subject property includes approximately 111 acres of land and is
generally located northwest of Clarcona-Ocoee Road and southeast of Forest Lake Golf Course. The
property is vacant, wooded and undeveloped. The property essentially is a remnant of a historic mobile
home park (West Orange Park) that was never developed. On August 8, 2006, the property was re-
platted under the Orange County jurisdiction as "Ocoee Pines". This plat dedicated significant right-of-
way for the future Clarcona-Ocoee Roadway realignment.
I H. REGULAR AGENDA
8. Windsor Landings Subdivision Reuse System Extension - Update. (City
Engineer Wheeler)
This project was proposed to include extending 2000 feet of 10" reuse main along Maguire Road to
serve the Windsor Landings Subdivision and provide a future connection to Orange County. This
project supplied reuse water to the Windsor Landings subdivision as well as provided stub outs for
future connections at Thornebrooke Drive and the undeveloped tract southwest corner of Maguire
Road and Roberson Road. The City applied with South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)
Alternative Water Supply Funding Program and was awarded a grant to help fund this project. During
the plan approval for Meadow Ridge Subdivision the developer agreed to install and pay for
approximately 600 feet of reuse pipe adjacent to the property along Maguire Road. This then only left
1380 linear feet of reuse pipe for the city to install and fund along Maguire Road. Orange County
expressed no interest in using this reuse main as a future connection so the 12" design was scaled back
to 8". South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Alternative Water Supply Funding

Program had awarded the City $50,000.00 to help fund this project based on a total length of 2000
linear feet of 12" reuse pipe with an estimated construction cost of $280,000.00. Upon completing the
project consisting of 1380 linear feet of 8" reuse pipe at a total construction cost of $113,687.50
SJWMD has changed the funding amount to $34,500.00 due to the reduction in pipe size and length as
well as project cost. The Engineering and Public Utilities Department requests that the City
commission authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute SFWMD's amendment No. 01 to
agreement No. DG061195.
