Solutions, LLC (ATS) Pertaining to Red Light Running Camera Enforcement
System. (Police Chief Brown)

11. Approval of an Interim Contract for Motor Fuels—Transport Load Deliveries.
(Public Works Director Krug)
The City is a member of the Central Florida Purchasing Cooperative where Orange County is the
lead agency in solicitations that can benefit multiple municipalities. The City approved utilizing this
purchasing power for petroleum products on September 19,2017, for bulk transport loads delivered
to the Public Works complex and tank wagon loads delivered to remote sites throughout the City.
The previous contract for providing the bulk transport load deliveries had expired on July 21, 2017,
and the new recorded contract was not available from the County until late August for approval by
the City. To cover this interim period between contract expiration and Commission approval of the
new contract, which was renewed through the same vendor, the City issued two purchase orders up
to the City Manager's purchasing authority. Due to the delay in the availability of the recorded
contract for approval by the City Commission, the interim total fuel costs exceeded the issued
purchase orders. Purchase Order #1424863 for diesel fuel requires a $4,991.57 increase and
Purchase Order #1424864 for unleaded fuel requires a $22,004.79 increase to close out the 2016-
2017 fiscal year. The required increases are adequately covered in the budget. Public Works
recommends approval of the increase to the purchase orders with Petroleum Traders to cover the
interim period between the expiration of the original cooperative contract and Commission approval
of the new contract.
12. Approval of Change Order No. 1 - Lake Olympia Reclaim Distribution Project
Bid #16-03. (Utilities Director Smith)
The Mayor and City Commission previously approved the Lake Olympia Neighborhoods Reclaimed
Water Retrofit Project on August 16,2016, for the amount of$576,429.50. All items as bid by DBE
Utilities were not utilized to complete the project. Existing Utilities did not have any conflict with
the new reclaim lines between the sidewalks and curbs; as a result, cost savings were attained in the
items bid to remove/replace concrete driveways and sidewalks. The total budgeted for the Lake
Olympia Neighborhood Reclaim Project Bid #16-03 was $576,429.50. The project has a final
completion date of June 30, 2017 and a Net Decrease of$90,578.35 in cost savings to the City
resulting in overall contract price adjustment to$485,851.15.
13. Approval of the City Joining into the Utilities Material/Meter Purchasing
"Strategic Partnership Agreement — Agreement between the City of Punta
Gorda and Core and Main." (Utilities Director Smith)
The City of Punta Gorda, Florida, working with other communities including the City of Ocoee,
formed a cooperative relationship for bidding and awarding contracts for services and goods. One of
the contracts, Agreement R2016105MAT-UTILITY1718, provides for procurement of utility
supplies and materials including but not limited to fittings, valves, piping, hydrants and meters. On
August 23, 2017, the City of Punta Gorda awarded a utility agreement to HD Supply for five (5)
years with the ability to renew the agreement for up to, but not to exceed an additional three (3)
years. Sub-sequential to the awarding of the agreement HD Supply was purchased and underwent a
name change to Core and Main. Amendment 1 to Agreement #R20161005/Mat—Utility/1718 was
approved by Punta Gorda September 7, 2017, addressing the name change. A significant benefit of
this agreement is that Core and Main are the representatives and suppliers of the Sensus meters used
by the City. Staff recommends the City continue its 10 year partnership,but will continue to seek the
best price on supply and material.
14. Approval of Changes in Funding to the Downtown and West Sanitary Sewer
Transmission Project. (Utilities Director Smith)
The forcemain project, West Sanitary Sewer Project, was initiated with the preferred routing
utilizing Bluford Road from Silver Star Road to Columbus St. The forcemain project would result in
significant disruption and inconvenience to the area; and would be followed by the Bluford Rd
(Downtown) Street Scape Project. To improve efficiencies, reducing cost and disruption, the two
projects were combined. The combined projects also include the installation of gravity sewer lines in
the downtown area, which will be funded using bond proceeds. In November 2016, the City issued
the Water and Sewer System Revenue and Refunding Revenue Bonds (Series 2016) for the project
funding. As the Bluford Street Scape Project further evolved, the replacement of existing potable
water lines and the addition of reclaimed water mains was determined to be needed to support the
4IPage
Regular City Commission
November 7,2017
City's new downtown efforts. To implement the downtown gravity sewer, a utility easement is
required across the north fifteen feet of the property located at 2 N Bluford Ave. The City
Commission on May 16, 2017, approved this parcel for purchase. A second parcel, 128 N. Bluford
Ave, is also needed to accommodate a new lift station for the downtown area. The impact to the
Downtown and Bluford Street Scape Project, which includes the water, reclaimed water, and land
acquisitions, is $1,504,156; however, due to anticipated project construction savings, the net impact
to the project is $679,573. To cover these unforeseen projected impact expenses, staff is
recommending the Mayor and City Commission approve the use of $200,000 from this year's
Annual Major Water Line Replacement and Upgrade Program's funding (401-533-10-6302) and
$479,573 Water& Sewer Capital Project funds (408). The Annual Major Water Line Replacement
and Upgrade Program Fiscal Year 2018's project was the Kimball & Malcom Area Watermain
Upgrade Project Phase I, II & III and had a fund of$1,100,000 ($250K in fund 401, $600K in fund
407 and $250k in fund 408). This approval of this item would reduce available funding to
approximately$650K with a Phase II& III of the project being delayed to Fiscal Year 2019.
G. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE
15. First Reading of Ordinance Amending the City of Ocoee Municipal Police
Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement Trust Fund Amending Section 30,
Supplemental Benefit Component for Special Benefits: Chapters 175 and 185
Share Accounts. (Second Reading and Public Hearing Date scheduled for December 5, 2017,
Regular Commission Meeting at 6:15 p.m. or soon thereafter) (Police Chief Brown)
The Pension Board for the City of Ocoee Municipal Police Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement
Trust Fund is governed by City of Ocoee Ordinances and State Statutes. On May 16, 2017,the City
Commission approved an ordinance amendment to the Police and Fire Pension fund which
established a share account. The changes to the pension ordinance are required to administer the 185
share accounts and distribute the current year 185 excess premium tax money. The State of Florida
required that all municipal pension plans establish a share plan as defined in Florida State Statue 175
Firefighters and 185 Police Officers. The State of Florida further required that the City and members
negotiate for the distribution and use of the excess state monies; and if no agreement can be made,
the default is to distribute the monies,half to members' share plan and half to pay the City's pension
fund liability. During the most recent Police contract negotiations, an agreement was not made as to
the use of the excess premium tax money. The excess tax money will be distributed based on the
terms of this amendment for this year. The Firefighters are currently working from the mutual
consent from the last negotiated contract. Effective September 30, 2017, the initial allocation,
$193,673.55 will be allocated to individual Member Share Accounts as provided in this ordinance.

H. PUBLIC HEARINGS
18. First Reading of Ordinance and Public Hearing Amending the Land
Development Code (LDC) Relating to Article II Definitions, Article V, Section
5-8 Prohibited Uses and Table 5-1 Permitted Use Regulations in Overlay
Districts. (Second Reading and Public Hearing Date scheduled for December 5, 2017, Regular
City Commission Meeting at 6:15 p.m. or soon thereafter. Advertised in the West Orange Times on
Thursday, October 26, 2017) (City Planner Rumer)
Back on September 6, 2015, City staff made a presentation to the City Commission relating to the
development and redevelopment of parcels within the Special Overlay Areas. Topics of specific
concern to staff and the City Commission is the redevelopment of parcels within the Overlay Areas,
density and compatibility concerns with development and redevelopment, allowable uses in the
overlay, and the development of zoning standards that will enhance economic development and
redevelopment in the Overlay Areas with the following uses or intended uses: pharmaceutical
dispensaries, fast food and other drive through restaurant establishments, check cashing stores, self-
storage facilities, vehicle and tire service, sales, and repair facilities, and discount retail stores. A
moratorium was put in place through March of 2017 to allow staff the time to evaluate the current
Special Overlay Area standards and update the standards as necessary. Since the moratorium has
expired, the City has adopted a zoning overlay over the SR 429 Corridor by establishing three (3)
character areas and has a final ordinance on the agenda to prohibit medical marijuana dispensing
facilities. As a final step in addressing the concerns stated in the moratorium, staff has proposed
amendments to the Land Development Code (LDC) which addresses uses and provides for
additional requirements in overlay areas (CRA Target Areas, SR 429 Overlay, and Downtown
Overlay) for the following uses: Fast Food Restaurants with Drive-through, Self-Storage Facilities,
and Automotive Tire and Repair facilities.
Staff is proposing amending the LDC as follows:
• Better define self-storage facilities and prohibit the use unless it is integrated as part of a multi-use
development.
• Eliminate the drive-in restaurants like a Sonic Burger and to limit the locations based on access.
• Limit automobile service stations that change oil,tires and other minor work.

19. Public Hearing of Ocoee Business Park Preliminary Large Scale Site Plan;
Project No: LS-2017-009. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, October 26,
2017) (City Planner Rumer)
The applicant proposes to develop 44.12 acres of land as a light industrial/flex office park consisting
of three(3)buildings totaling a maximum of 646,366 sq. ft. Building 100 is a 96,770 SF warehouse
with rear loading truck bays facing the railroad track. Building 200 is a 406,000 SF warehouse with
truck bays on the east and west side. The eastern truck bays will be shielded by a retention pond
with landscaping. The west facing bay doors face the north bound exit ramp on SR 429. The
estimated distance from the exit ramp to Building 200 is 355 feet. Building 300 is a 144,000
warehouse with bay doors facing the new Sunbelt Rental site. The Development Plan provides for a
maximum FAR (floor area ratio) of 0.33%. The maximum FAR allowed by code is 3.0. The
permitted uses will be limited to those uses permitted within the I-1 (Light Manufacturing and
Warehousing). On September 5, 2017, the DRC met to determine if the proposed Preliminary Site
Plan was consistent with the City's regulations and policies. When the discussion was finished, the
DRC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Preliminary Site Plan for Ocoee Business
Park Project, subject to the resolution of outstanding comments before the City Commission
meeting. The Planning and Zoning Commission(P&Z)reviewed the proposed Preliminary Site Plan
for Ocoee Business Park on Tuesday, October 10, 2017. Discussion ensued on impacts on the road
system by the traffic created. Several of the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission
relayed issues with traffic and the inability to justify the new traffic created without a number of
improvements to the roads. Questions to when Maguire Road would be widened and when Silver
Star Road intersection would be fixed were made. In making a motion, Chairman McKey said he is
unaware of how to express their traffic concerns to the City Commission. Staff relayed that the
concerns would be stated in the Planning and Zoning Recommendation. There were five (5)
members of the Planning and Zoning Commission in attendance. The Planning and Zoning
Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the Preliminary Site plan with the aforesaid traffic
comments included.
I. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE—PUBLIC HEARING
20. Second Reading of Ordinance and Public Hearing Amending Chapter 180,
Section 5-8 of the City Code Related to Prohibition of Medical Marijuana
Treatment Center Dispensary Facilities within the City of Ocoee. (Advertised in
the Orlando Sentinel on Friday, October 27, 2017) (City Planner Rumer)
First reading of this ordinance was heard on October 17, 2017. In November of 2016, the voters of
the State of Florida adopted an amendment to the State Constitution to allow the broadened use of
cannabis to treat medical conditions. In response to this constitutional amendment, on January 3,
2017, the City adopted an ordinance implementing a temporary moratorium until December 31,
2017. In June of 2017, the Florida Legislature adopted Senate Bill 8-A in a Special Session, which
established a regulatory process for medical cannabis dispensaries. After the November 2016
Constitutional Amendment and before the Special Session that passed Senate Bill 8-A, many
jurisdictions passed a model ordinance allowing a limited number of facilities based on population.
The ordinance provided for regulations such as signage, location to schools, and other opportunities
to properly locate a facility if so desired. Upon passing Senate Bill 8-A,the Legislature removed any
ability to provide regulations on facilities. Senate Bill 8-A,which establishes a regulatory process for
medical marijuana dispensaries,provides local governments two options for regulating uses.
The City's two alternatives are as follows:
1. The City may ban medical marijuana treatment dispensaries outright by ordinance.
2. The City may allow medical marijuana treatment dispensaries, however, location criteria must
follow those for pharmacies as defined by Chapter 465 F.S. and no limit may be placed on the
number of dispensaries allowed within the City.
Staff recommends the Honorable Mayor and City Commission approve an ordinance amending the
City of Ocoee Land Development Code Chapter 180, Section 5-8, prohibiting medical marijuana
treatment center dispensing facilities.
