Consent Agenda Motion Motion: Move to adopt the Consent Agenda Item #1. Moved by Commissioner Keller, seconded by Commissioner Wilsen; Motion 4` carried 5-0. City Commission Special Session November 20,2017 PUBLIC COMMENTS Richard Moore, 409 S. Cumberland Ave., shared concerns regarding the closure of Bluford Ave. and the traffic flow it has caused going into his subdivision. Vehicles are cutting through their subdivison street at high speeds thus making it dangerous for the residents. He further inquired what the City can do to help alleviate this traffic issue. Mr. Moore continued by sharing that the road was temporarily closed, but news media reported that it was the Mayor's request, which is incorrect as the request came from the residents of the subdivision. He is hoping the City can provide speed bumps or come up with something that will slow vehicles down. City Manager Frank said he has spoken with staff with regards to costs as they will continue to have similar situations develop as the downtown projects continue. They looked at overtime with the Police Department, closure of roads, and speed bumps. During discussions with Public Works Director Steve Krug it was shared that temporary speed tables can be installed for about $1,000. Mayor Johnson shared that there is a petition that was also signed by the neighborhood regarding this issue. Commissioner Wilsen agreed that the road is not appropriate for cut through of vehicles as there are too many turns and pedestrians in that area. Further Discussion ensued. Motion: Move to approve $1,500 to be taken from Contingency Fund for speed tables on Cumberland Ave. Moved by Commissioner Wilsen, seconded by Commissioner Grogan; Motion carried 4-0 with Mayor Johnson abstaining. (Form 8B on File with the City Clerk's Department) Commissioner Grogan inquired if they would be riding in the Winter Garden Christmas Parade. Brief discussion ensued. Mayor Johnson said he would like for Executive Aide Sherry Seaver to contact the City of Winter Garden to find out if they will be attending the Ocoee Christmas Parade before they make a decision.
