CONSENT AGENDA
ALL MATTERS LISTED UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE AND WILL BE ACTED UPON BY ONE MOTION. THERE WILL BE NO
SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS UNLESS DISCUSSION IS DESIRED BY A MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION, IN WHICH CASE THE MAYOR WILL INSTRUCT THE
CITY CLERK TO REMOVE THAT ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND SUCH ITEM WILL BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY.
1. Approval of the Minutes for the Regular City Commission Meeting held November
20, 2018. (City Clerk Sibbitt)
2. Approval of Amendment to City Manager’s Employment Agreement Allowing for
City Manager to Choose to Receive a Car Allowance or a City-owned Vehicle.
(Finance Director Roberts)
The City Manager is covered by an Employment Agreement with the City of Ocoee, which is dated October
1, 2007. Included in the October 2007 agreement, and the predecessor agreements between the City Manager
and the City, is a provision allowing the City Manager to receive a car allowance each month. At this time,
the City Manager has requested an amendment to the Employment Agreement to allow the City Manager to
choose to receive either a car allowance or to receive the use of a City-owned vehicle. The desire of the City
Manager is to be assigned a City-owned vehicle rather than receiving a monthly car allowance. Fleet
Maintenance confirmed that a vehicle meeting the City’s requirements can be purchased by the City
piggybacking through the Florida Sheriff’s Association’s Cooperative Vehicle Contract #18-VEL26.0. The
price of the vehicle will not exceed $28,000 and is consistent with City vehicles with similar specifications.
3. Approval of Code Enforcement Agreements with Town of Windermere with 6%
Adjustment to Cover the City of Ocoee’s Costs. (Assistant Support Services Director
Gaines)
The City of Ocoee is willing to continue to provide part-time code enforcement services to the Town of
Windermere with a 6% increase to cover the City of Ocoee’s increased costs. A 3% increase was not
implemented in 2018, so it will increase 6% for 2019. The City of Ocoee will continue to make available to
the Town of Windermere one (1) of the City of Ocoee’s Code Enforcement Officers to provide code
enforcement services within the Town of Windermere for approximately eight (8) hours a week. It is
anticipated that the Code Enforcement Officer will perform the services over two (2) four-hour segments on
nonconsecutive days in each Town; however, the schedule may change depending upon circumstances. If the
Town of Windermere would like to use more than the weekly eight (8) hours per week, the Town will pay an
overtime rate of $49.67/hour. This is dependent upon the workload of the Code Enforcement Officer.

4. Approval of a Citywide Microsoft Office Upgrade through SHI. (Support Services
Director Butler)
The Support Services Department budgeted $13,500.00 to upgrade the Microsoft Email Exchange Server and
$72,000.00 to upgrade Microsoft Office licenses citywide in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget, approved by the
City Commission on September 26, 2018. The City’s current email server, Microsoft Exchange Server 2013,
received its final software update in September 2018. To maintain mandatory Florida Department of Law
Enforcement (FDLE) security standards, the City needs to upgrade the Microsoft Exchange Server to the
2019 version. The current version of Outlook, Microsoft Office 2010, is not compatible with the 2019
Microsoft Exchange Server; therefore, prior to the server upgrade the City needs to update all Microsoft
Office licenses to a 2019 version. The City is able to purchase Microsoft Office 2019 licenses through a State
of Florida contract with Software House International (SHI).

FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE - None
SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE – PUBLIC HEARING
9. Second Reading of Ordinance Amending the City of Ocoee Municipal General Employees’
Retirement Trust Fund Reflecting Changes for Compliance with the Internal Revenue Code.
(Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, November 22, 2018.) (City Clerk Sibbitt)
At their meeting held on September 11, 2018, the General Employees’ Retirement Board reviewed and
approved the proposed ordinance which deals primarily with definition changes for compliance with the
Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, the definition of Actuarial Equivalent is being amended to match the
current valuation assumptions for interest. Because the changes do not result in a change in the valuation
results, it is the opinion of the Plan Attorney that a formal Actuarial Impact Statement is not required in
support of its adoption.
10. Second Reading of Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Chapter 78 - Fire Prevention and
Emergency Medical Response and Approval of Rate Resolution for Fire Prevention and
Emergency Ground Medical Transport and Related Services. (Advertised in the West Orange
Times on Thursday, November 22, 2018.) (Fire Chief Miller)
The Ocoee Fire Department has a chapter in the City’s Code of Ordinances that relates to fire prevention and
emergency medical response. Chapter 78 has been reviewed and updated to reflect the current edition of the
Florida Fire Prevention Code. Updates to the ordinance include adding emergency medical response services
language, removing the existing local ordinance requirements on fire sprinkler systems, and adding language
that addresses authority, purpose, applicability, administration, and delegation. On June 19, 2018, the City
Commission approved the addition of Fire-Based EMS/Emergency Ground Medical Transport Services to
begin in January 2019. The Commission passed Resolution 2018-016 adopting a schedule of rates and fees
for the provision of emergency ground medical transport and related services. Staff is presenting an updated
Resolution to account for the new transport rates, which went into effect with the new Fiscal Year, as well as
to formalize the current applicable rates for fire prevention services such as permitting, re-inspections, and
fireworks. The Resolution allows for an annual, automatic adjustment in accordance with the CPI-I, as
developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor.

The City’s updated ordinance has been submitted to the FEMA Regional Office in Atlanta for review and
changes to comply with Code 44 of Federal Regulations, Sections 59 and 60 of the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP). Non-compliance with this regulation results in the loss of participation in the NFIP program

in Article VII dealing with a Floodplain construction criteria. This is supplemental to the general wetland and

Counties in Florida. The requirements in the ordinance are established to facilitate Building Codes. The
provisions in the ordinance do not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.

Water Supply Facilities Work Plan Update. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday,
November 22, 2018. Transmittal hearing/first reading of ordinance held on August 21, 2018.)
(City Planner Rumer)
According to The Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act, Chapter 369, Part III, FS, each local government is
required to amend its comprehensive plan to include an up-to-date 10-Year Water Supply Facility Work Plan
to include an evaluation of the present and projected growth and water demand for a 10-year planning period.

Planning Area Agreement (JPA); (ii) updated FLU Map Figure 1 (Existing Land Use Map) by providing up
to date data provided by the Orange County Property Appraiser; (iii) amend Map Figure 2 (Future Land Use
Map) of the Future Land Use Element to reflect annexations and comprehensive plan amendments adopted
since 2011 and to incorporate the Seventeenth (17) and Eighteenth (18) Joint Planning Area Agreement
Amendments; and (iv) update the Existing Land Use Map (Figure 1) to conform to the JPA; and (v)
incorporate the Ocoee/Orange County Joint Planning Area Map as Figure 1a into the Future Land Use
Element, as amended, and to reflect small scale comprehensive plan amendments and annexations since the
last update to Figure 1. The proposed amendments were transmitted to DEO, State, and surrounding agencies
per the statutory expedited review process. The expedited review from DEO came back with no objections,
recommendations, or conditions. Also, no comments were received from other State or surrounding agencies.
REGULAR AGENDA
18. Discussion of an Unsolicited Offer from Forges Realty Group to Purchase City-owned
Property Located at 112 South Bluford Avenue. (Assistant City Manager Shadrix)
In August of the year 2016, the City acquired property at 100 and 112 S. Bluford Avenue consisting of two
parcels (17-22-28-5504-02-090 and 17-22-28-5504-02-040) containing seven original lots forming a
rectangle of 178 ft. along the east side of S. Bluford Avenue and 85 ft. along the south side of Magnolia St.;
the total land area is approximately 15,000 SF. A 940 SF wood-framed commercial storefront building
constructed in 1925 sits on the southern end of the property. The City purchased these two parcels for a total
of $225,000 which was $25,000 higher than the appraised value in 2016. The City recently received an
unsolicited offer from Forges Realty Group to purchase the property for a total price of $135,000. It is
recommended that the City Commission authorize the City Manager and Attorney to obtain a fair market
appraisal of the property using up to $3500 from the contingency fund balance; and, pending the appraisal, to
bring a contract to the Commission in compliance with Section C-8 of the City Charter for its consideration.
The proposed offer of $135,000 is considerably less than what the City paid in 2016. However, it should be
considered that the buyer intends to create a viable office building on the property, adding it to the tax base.
It should also be considered that the buyer would need to spend between $50,000 and $100,000 to renovate
the building to a leasable condition, and the buyer has indicated willingness to comply with downtown design
standards, which could result in additional expense.

19. Discussion of an Unsolicited Offer from Summit XV Holdings, LLC to Purchase 13.51
acres of City-owned Property Located at 2012 Ocoee Apopka Road. (Assistant City
Manager Shadrix)
In the year 2000, the City acquired 318± acres of land from the Coca Cola Company known as the Crown
Point Property for a total price of $3,750,000.00, bringing the price per acre of parcels to $11,792.45. The
City subsequently sold select parcels from this transaction at cost to the Orange County School Board. All of
the holdings of both agencies are part of the Crown Point PUD which is a contract zoning agreement that sets
specific uses within the entire property complex. Since that time, the City has selectively sold off pieces of
the property as market demands produced robust offers for purchase that could be considered beneficial to the
City. The City recently received an unsolicited offer from Summit XV Holdings LLC for purchase of 13.51
acres (see map attachment) of the Crown Point PUD that includes the following tracts: 6C, 6E, 6F, 6G, 20,
27, and 33. These tracts range in uses from “village center” to “mixed use,” and development standards in the
PUD require an urban style of development. Additionally, the adopted traffic mitigation plan requires that
tract 33 be constructed as an urban street section (referred to as Main Street) that connects Crown Point
Parkway to Ocoee Apopka Road. The offer by Summit XV Holdings is a standard contract that offers a price
of $93,750.00 per net useable acre with the intent to utilize the inspection and due diligence periods to obtain
necessary approvals to construct a townhome subdivision at an approximate density of ten dwelling units per
acre. Addendum A of the contract offer contains a summation of the terms of the contract. It is recommended
that the City Commission authorize the City Manager and Attorney to obtain a fair market appraisal of the
property using up to $3500 from the contingency fund balance; and, pending the appraisal, to bring a contract
to the Commission in compliance with Section C-8 of the City Charter for its consideration. Using the per
acre cost of $11,792.45 that the City of Ocoee paid to acquire said property in the year 2000, the proposed
offer of $93,750.00 far exceeds the up-front expenditures, and a proposed townhome subdivision on the site,
if approved, would provide additional tax base to the City.
