City Hall. The invocation was led by Commissioner Keller followed by the Pledge of
Allegiance to the Flag, led by Commissioner Firstner. City Clerk Sibbitt called roll and

B. PRESENTATIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS - 6:17 PM
Presentation on School Grades (This item was presented after Comments from Citizens/Public)
Orange County Public School (OCPS) Board Member Christine Moore gave a brief
summary of the school grades for the Elementary Schools in Ocoee. The grades for Middle and
High Schools were not available at this time. She further introduced Patty Harrelson, Principal
for Spring Lake Elementary School. Ms. Harrelson explained her excitement for being in the
City of Ocoee. She announced Spring Lake Elementary brought their grade up this year from a
"D" to a "C" and staff is excited about this. A picture of the new mural that was painted at
Spring Lake Elementary was shared with the City Commission. Ms. Moore briefly explained the
meaning behind the mural and asked that if anyone had any historical data or additional
information on the actual Spring Lake, to please contact her. Ms. Moore concluded her
presentation by briefly addressing some questions from the City Commission.
Presentation of the Districting Commission Recommendation Report
Districting Commission Chairman Gregory Keethler gave a PowerPoint presentation
summarizing the process of the Districting Commission and further presented the board's
recommendation of Board Plan 2 (originally named Board Plan 3) which brought the districts
within less than 1% of each other in population (see below board plan and chart).
Discussion ensued regarding if subdivisions were split and the proposed district boundary line at
Bay Street. Commissioner Wilsen also inquired about retaining the current boundary line on
Bluford Avenue, but shifting the district downwards to incorporate the Oasis Apartments and
City Center into District 2. Mr. Keethler explained that proposed district boundary line was
discussed during their meeting, but incorporating the Oasis Apartments and City Center would
put the ideal population in District 2 over and the ideal population in District 3 under. After
discussion, the consensus of the City Commission was to have the Districting Commission look
at the Bay Street proposed boundary to be sure that all homes within that street are included.

C. COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS/PUBLIC -6:46 PM
R.P. Monacky, 1820 Prairie Lake Blvd. inquired why the City is looking to build a New City
Hall. Public Works Director Krug addressed the question by explaining some of the existing
issues the current City Hall is experiencing. Mayor Johnson explained that they did have
several public hearings prior to the decision of bonding money for the New City Hall.

F. CONSENT AGENDA - 7:07 PM
Consent Agenda Motion
Motion: Move to approve the Consent Agenda Items #1 -#11.
Moved by Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Firstner; Motion
carried 5-0.
1. Approval of the Minutes for the Regular City Commission Meeting held June 20, 2017.
(City Clerk Sibbitt)
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
2. Approval to Set the Proposed Tentative Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Budget.
(City Manager Frank)
The TRIM act requires local governing bodies to set a proposed tentative millage rate annually during the
month of July. The property appraiser is then notified of the rate and uses it to advise taxpayers of their
proposed tax levies for the next year. The rate can be lowered during the budget hearings in September and has
31 Page
Regular City Commission
July 18,2017
historically been done so by the City. State Statutes establish levels of approval by the governing body in setting
the millage rate. The statutes provide for a maximum millage that can be levied by the governing body with a
majority vote. This maximum millage rate for the upcoming fiscal year, 7.3615, is an increase over the current
year millage (5.8291). The rolled back rate for 2017/2018 is 5.4357. This rate is lower than the current year
rate. The City's overall assessed value increased to $231,579,458. This is an increase of$1,309,403 at the
current millage rate of 5.8291. The Commission can set the proposed millage for FY2017/2018 up to 8.0977
with a super majority vote by the Commission. This millage rate would generate $18,175,907 in ad valorem
revenues. A millage rate higher than the 8.0977 would require a unanimous vote by the Commission.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
3. Approval to Set Workshop and Hearing Dates for FY 2017/2018 Budget Process.
(Finance Director Briggs)
Workshops are held during August for staff and the City Commission to discuss the proposed budget for the
upcoming fiscal year. Public hearings are required by the TRIM Act in September serving as a mechanism to
notify the citizens of the proposed budget and allow the opportunity for their comments. The TRIM Act has
specific time frames for scheduling and holding the required hearings. The hearing dates cannot conflict with
Orange County (9/7 and 9/21) or Orange County School Board (9/12) hearing dates. Staff recommends the
commission approve the following dates for the August budget workshops of August 10th and 14th. Staff
recommends the City Commission approve the following dates for the September budget hearings of September
6th and 18th. Workshops and hearings will begin at 6:00 p.m.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
4. Approval of the Third Agreement for Modification of Wal-Mart Signage Plan. (City
Planner Rumer)
The City of Ocoee has previously approved development plans, which called for the development of a Wal-
Mart Supercenter on Lot 1 and various commercial uses on Lots 2-6 of the Wal-Mart of Ocoee Plat. As part of
the development approval process, the City approved a Master Signage Plan. The Master Signage Plan was
amended in July of 2002 and then again on November of 2002. Wal-Mart has added new services to the
existing Supercenter, which require individual signage. In order to comply with the original and amended
Master Signage Plan, a third modification is required. The third modification does not increase the overall
square footage allowed and therefore was determined to be non-substantial.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
5. Approval of the Plat for West Colonial Ocoee. (City Planner Rumer)
The subject property, which is the former location of the Sabal Hotel, is located on the northeast corner of State
Road 50 (West Colonial Drive) and Maguire Road. The total area of the parcel (ID#20-22-28-0000-00-017) is
3.35 acres. The developer/applicant intends to develop the 3.35 acres as a Commercial subdivision with three
leasable/sellable lots, sized 0.624 acers, 0.744 acers, and 1.129 acers respectively. This plat is required in order
to create the lots for the commercial subdivision and reflect the improvements constructed as part of the West
Colonial Ocoee development. This plat includes easements for public utility improvements, which includes a
new eight(8)inch water main and a doghouse manhole. There will be no additional dedications or easements to
the City as a part of this plat. The West Colonial Ocoee development is platting prior to receiving a Certificate
of Completion;therefore,the developer is required to provide a Surety covering 115 percent of the construction
cost of the proposed improvements as approved in the West Colonial Ocoee Small Scale Site Plan. The
Developer has provided a Surety in the form of a check along with a signed copy of the outstanding
construction costs from the General Contractor.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.

6. Approval to Award RFQ #1705 Engineering Design Services for Downtown Streets
Redevelopment. (Purchasing Agent Tolbert)
In compliance with the Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA), Florida Statutes Section 287.055
and Chapter 21 of the City's Code of Ordinances, the City solicited statements of qualifications from qualified
professional civil engineering firms to design a number of local street redevelopment projects in downtown
Ocoee. The design services will also include the work needed to build a major gateway structure at the
intersection of Bluford Avenue and Geneva Street, plus a West Orange Trail connection from the SR 429
interchange on Franklin Street to the northern Taylor Street roundabout. Continuity of the Trail connection will
also be part of the Taylor Street and Oakland Avenue reconstruction projects such that the connection goes from
the SR 429 interchange to Lakefront Park. This segment connects to the West Orange Trail via sidewalk in the
City of Winter Garden, which starts at the SR 429 interchange. The total cost of construction for the included
scope of work is estimated to be approximately $2.4 million. These transportation projects are part of a $45
million capital investment program for the downtown area of Ocoee.
The RFQ was advertised on April 23, 2017 and was publicly opened on May 23, 2017. There were eight (8)
responses submitted. The Finance and Public Works Departments reviewed the qualification statements and all
were considered responsive. The eight (8) responses were evaluated by the RFQ Evaluation Committee
appointed by the City Manager. The evaluation committee short-listed the following firms in ranked order, and
recommends contracting with the top-ranked firm, CPH, Inc., with Wantman Group, Inc., ranked second and
DRMP, Inc., ranked third. Staff recommends that the City Commission award RFQ#1705 Engineering Design
Services for Downtown Streets Redevelopment to CPH, Inc., and authorize Staff to proceed with contract
negotiations with the selected firm, and authorize the Mayor, City Clerk, and staff to execute all necessary
contract documents with this firm once the required insurance is received. Per the State of Florida CCNA Act
Statute 287.055, if contract negotiations are unsuccessful with the top-ranked firm, staff shall terminate
negotiations and initiate negotiations with the next ranked firm, and so on, until an agreement is reached.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
7. Approval to Execute a Revised Interlocal Agreement with Orange County for
Cooperation Regarding Federal Community Development Programs Under the HUD
Urban County Program. (Support Services Director Butler)
The City has jointly operated a Community Development Block Grant program with Orange County that has
brought millions of dollars in funding for rebuilding public infrastructure in economically disadvantaged areas
of the city, such as the Pioneer Key subdivisions. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
has asked the City to execute a revised agreement with Orange County in order to make it compliant with
federal legal changes occurring since the last agreement was signed in 2014. This is a routine action with no
substantive changes.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
8. Approval to Acquire a Nimble Data Storage Array at a Cost of $46,250, Related
Equipment Maintenance Service at a Cost of$3,900, and Network Protection Services
at a Cost of$10,005, all from CDW-G. (Support Services Director Butler)
Staff acquired a refurbished Storage Area Network(SAN) with new high-speed disk drives in late 2012 as the
central data storage mechanism for the City. This device has reached the end of its useful life and needs to be
replaced. In accordance with staffs expectation of the coming need for a replacement, the City Commission
approved an overall capital budget allocation of$65,000. Staff has selected the Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash
CS-series CS 1000 Hard Drive Array as the replacement unit. This device contains 42 TB of raw hard disk data
capacity and almost 3 TB of solid-state storage capacity. In addition to purchasing the unit, staff additionally
seeks approval to acquire a 4-hour response time extended service agreement, and to reinforce the City's
cybersecurity mechanisms by implementing an off-site ("cloud") interne data traffic filtering system. With
5IPage
Regular City Commission
July 18,2017
recent increases in ransomware attacks, staff wants to enhance network security by deploying the Cisco
Umbrella Cloud Security System, which will prevent communications between city computers and bad actors
seeking either to break into the City's network or to receive messages from infected devices on the network. A
cloud-based solution is preferable to one based on equipment and software on the City's data network interface,
as it keeps the malware and bad actor messages offsite.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
9. Approval of an Agreement with Zyscovich, Inc., for Development of a Design Criteria
Package for a New City Hall (Part of the Downtown Redevelopment Master Plan) at a
Cost of$276,190, and Subsequent Owner's Representative Services During Solicitation
and Negotiation with a Design-Build Firm at a Cost of $58,275. (Support Services
Director Butler)
A key component of the Downtown Ocoee Redevelopment Master Plan is relocation of City Hall to the
Northeast corner of the intersection of McKey Street and Bluford Avenue. The City anticipated construction
being accomplished through the design-build method, so an RFQ was issued in April 2017 for a qualified
architectural firm to develop the design criteria package needed to solicit a design-build construction company.
Two architectural firms responded to that RFQ and the highest-ranked firm of Zyscovich, Inc.,was awarded the
work by the City Commission. Subsequent to that award, and in compliance with the Florida Consultants'
Competitive Negotiations Act ("CCNA," §287.055, Florida Statutes), the City entered into negotiations with
Zyscovich, Inc., and developed a detailed scope of work,project schedule,and price agreement for presentation
to the City Commission. The proposed schedule calls for up to 26 weeks of effort to produce the design criteria
package and a subsequent 31 weeks for solicitation of design-build firms, selection of the top-ranked firm,
preparation of construction documents, final price negotiation, permitting, and other preconstruction activities.
Staff recommends that the City Commission endorse the proposed Agreement, authorize the Mayor to execute
the Agreement, and direct staff to issue the purchase order to Zyscovich, Inc. for this work using an allocation
of project funds of$334,465 for design and up to $2,000 for reimbursable expenses. In addition, staff seeks
authority to expend up to$10,000 in other project funds for other companies to conduct related work, such as to
take soil samples and perform additional surveys.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
10. Approval of the Sanitation Division Budget Transfer. (Public Works Director Krug)
The City has historically benefited from being able to take recyclable materials to the County at a zero cost per
ton tipping fee. Due to changes in the recycling market and expiration of various County contracts, the County
will begin charging a fee of$42.00 per ton July 1, 2017, to handle recyclable materials. This increase in cost
was not anticipated by County and is not reflected in the current City budget for Sanitation landfill fees. To
account for this unanticipated increase in costs while Public Works researches the City's options for the
disposition of recyclables, we are requesting Commission approval to transfer unused capital funds within the
Sanitation Division to the landfill account line. The 2016-2017 budget for the Sanitation Division included three
(3)lease payments totaling$136,185.00 for replacement Sanitation vehicles. Due to the timing of the financing,
only one lease payment of $39,805.64 will be made this fiscal year, leaving $96,379.36 available to be
reallocated to the Landfill account line.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
11. Approval for the Request to Piggy Back on City of St. Petersburg Contract for Supply
of Sanitation Carts with OTTO Environmental Systems. (Public Works Director Krug)
The City has utilized sanitation carts from OTTO Environmental Systems (OTTO) since implementing
automated side-loading trucks to collect residential garbage in 2005 and recycling in 2014. In 2011, the City
issued a Request For Proposals from cart suppliers and determined OTTO continued to provide the best value
61 Page
Regular City Commission
July 18,2017
and service for carts by awarding a five (5) year term contract at the June 7, 2011, Commission meeting to
OTTO that included an optional one year extension. The City's term contract for sanitation carts with OTTO
has expired this year. The Public Works Team has continually evaluated products with other municipalities and
vendors to ensure the City is obtaining the best value in the carts we utilize. Through this continual evaluation
process, Public Works has determined OTTO continues to provide the best product to meet the needs of the
City. In order to continue utilizing OTTO carts, Public Works recommends piggy backing on the existing City
of St. Petersburg's (St. Pete) Request For Quotation 5580 for Refuse Containers. Ocoee's expired contract
charged$51.85 per 95 gallon cart where the St. Pete contract cost is$52.36 per cart. The$0.51 cost differential
is due to the St. Pete requirement for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags on their carts — a service
tracking feature Ocoee could use at a future date, but was cost prohibitive at the time of the 2011 Ocoee RFP.
Public Works purchases 1,920 garbage and recycle carts annually for new customers and replacements. The
additional $979.20 annual cost increase for utilizing the St. Pete bid is adequately funded in the Solid Waste
operations.
Approved on Consent. Motion carried 5-0.
G. PUBLIC HEARING - 7:07 PM

City Planner Rumer presented a summary of the Health Central Skilled Nursing Facility Large
Scale Preliminary & Final Site Plan. The proposed Health Central Skilled Nursing Facility site
plan provides for the construction of a four-story 90,213 square foot facility on the campus of the
existing hospital. The overall parcel is 3.67 acres in size. Uses within the proposed subject
property are Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, and Post-Acute Rehab Care.

H. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE - 7:11 PM
13. First Reading of Ordinance to Repeal Chapter 4 - Design Build Contracts and Amend
Chapter 21 - Purchasing Policy. (Second Reading and Public Hearing scheduled for August I, 2017,
Regular Commission Meeting at 6:15 p.m. or soon thereafter.) (Purchasing Agent Tolbert)
Chapter 4 of the City's Code of Ordinances—Design Build Contracts was adopted on March 21, 1995 in order
to comply with the procedures of the 1993 Florida Statute 287.055, Consultant Competitive Negotiation Act
("CCNA"). The current Chapter 4 has not been updated to include revisions that have been made to the CCNA
since that time, such as the allowance of a qualifications based solicitation for design-build services, which is in
conflict with the current Chapter 4 procedures. Moreover, Chapter 4 predated the City's Current Chapter 21,
Purchasing Policy that was adopted on July 16, 1996. Now that Chapter 21 exists, Staff and the City's
Attorneys agree that Chapter 4 is no longer needed if language is amended in Chapter 21 to expressly state that
design-build services shall be procured in accordance with the requirements of the CCNA. Currently, Section
21.8 D. references design-build construction services shall be procured in accordance to the procedures of
Chapter 4. Staff is proposing revisions to Section 21.8 B. to expressly state that design-build services shall be
procured through the procedures set forth in the CCNA; therefore, Chapter 4 will no longer be needed, as the
required procedures are stated in the CCNA, and the City's specific administrative procedures will be outlined
in the City's Purchasing Manual. Construction Program Management has also been added to Section 21.8 B as
this service is also authorized in Section 255.103, Florida Statute for Construction Management. These
amendments are necessary as Design-Build services will be solicited for the new Ocoee City Hall project once
the design-criteria package is completed.
Purchasing Agent Tolbert informed the City Commission that the proposed ordinance is to
repeal Chapter 4 — Design Build Contract and add some of that language into Chapter 21 —
Purchasing Policy as it has not been updated since 1995.
City Attorney Cookson read the title of the Ordinance.
Mayor Johnson announced the Second Reading and Public Hearing is scheduled for August 1,
2017, Regular City Commission Meeting at 6:15 p.m. or soon thereafter.
I. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE—PUBLIC HEARING - 7:13 PM
14. Second Reading of Ordinance for the State Road 429 Overlay District. (Advertised in the
West Orange Times on Thursday,July 6, 2017.) (City Planner Rumer)
The cities of Ocoee and Winter Garden share a common interest in the economic development potential of the
State Road 429(SR 429)corridor. Due to the location of both downtown Winter Garden and downtown Ocoee,
the SR 429 Overlay District will play a key role in linking the downtowns together and helping each City reach
its economic development goals. Both the City of Ocoee and City of Winter Garden will adopt Character Area
plans to provide continuity and replication of development throughout the Overlay District. The purpose of the
SR 429 Overlay District, which is facilitated via the Character Area Plans, is to provide a framework to guide
development that is useful to the development community in understanding the community vision for SR 429.
Three Character Area Design Plans were developed to reinforce the overall design objectives to further support
the Master Plan.The Character Area Design Plans are:
• The Plant Street Corridor Design Plan (including sub-districts: Packing Plant District, East Plant District
and Gateway District)
• Business Center Design Plan
• Interchange Village Design Plan
Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commission approve the amendment to the Land
Development Code to establish the SR 429 Overlay District and find such amendment to be consistent with the
81 Page
Regular City Commission
July 18,2017
Ocoee Comprehensive Plan; and further, recommend that the Official City Zoning Map be changed to
reference the existence of special development standards and prohibited uses within the SR 429 Overlay.
City Planner Rumer briefly summarized the State Road 429 (SR 429) Overlay District advising
that the cities of Ocoee and Winter Garden share a common interest in the economic
development potential of the SR 429 corridor. The purpose of the SR 429 Overlay District,
which is facilitated through the Character Area Plans, is to provide a framework to guide
development that is useful to the development community in understanding the community
vision for the SR429.
Three Character Area Design Plans were developed to reinforce the overall design objectives to
further support the Master Plan. The Character Area Design Plans are:
• The Plant Street Corridor Design Plan(including sub-districts: Packing Plant District,
East Plant District and Gateway District)
• Business Center Design Plan
• Interchange Village Design Plan
Due to the location of both downtown Winter Garden and downtown Ocoee, the SR 429 Overlay
District will play a key role in linking the downtowns together and helping each City reach its
economic development goals. Both the City of Ocoee and City of Winter Garden will adopt
Character Area plans to provide continuity and replication of development throughout the
Overlay District.
Commissioner Firstner inquired if the moratorium will be lifted once this ordinance is
approved as these principles will now be the guidelines for that area. City Planner Rumer
answered in the affirmative.
City Attorney Cookson read the title of the ordinance.
The public hearing was opened.
Tara Tedrow, Attorney with Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster, Kantor & Reed, P.A., said she is
present this evening on behalf of Ocoee Business Park. Her client is Dr. Bruce Grody, and they
spoke at the City of Winter Garden Overlay District meeting as well. She shared that under the
new district standards there may be roadways proposed across her client's property near the SR
429. They just want it on the record that any roadways that have not been agreed to by her client,
would not be roadways even though they appear to be designed on the plans. They would also
take objection to any removal of approved industrial uses on his parcel(s) (18-22-28-0000-00-026)
currently zoned for industrial uses.
The public hearing was closed.
Mayor Johnson commended City Planner Rumer and Assistant City Manager Shadrix for a
great job in working with Winter Garden on this Overlay District as it will be a great gateway
into both cities.
