Public Works Department/Traffic Engineering Division
The Traffic Engineering
Division and representatives
from other divisions,
have started the TexasAmericana Road Safety
Small Area Study. This
study, located in District
6, focuses on traffic safety
for all road users, including
drivers, bicyclists, transit
users, and pedestrians.
After reviewing crash
data, officials noted the
high frequency of bicycle
and pedestrian crashes
within the study area and
observed equally unsafe
behavior on the part of both
drivers and pedestrians.
It was decided that safety
education needed to be a
component of the project.
This was confirmed when
two locations within the
study area ranked in the
top 10 off-system, nonintersection locations
for pedestrian crashes
within the nine counties
of Florida Department of
Transportation, District 5.
Greetings,
Welcome to the Orange Spiel!
Thank you to our Orange County
employees who participated in
our annual “Summer of Service.”
Now in its third year, Summer of
Service provided an opportunity
to give back to the community,
with more than 400 employee
and community volunteers
helping out. For complete details,
see Page 3.

STAFF GETS TRAINED
Christy Lofye, Kevin
Miller, and Krista Barber
all attended bicycle helmet
promotion training and
became certified in bike
helmet fitting in July. This
qualified them to participate
in the Florida Bicycle Helmet
Distribution Program and
receive an FDOT grant for
bike helmets from Florida’s
Pedestrian and Bicycling
Safety Resource Center. Once
certified, they approached
Palmetto Elementary
School—which is located
within the study area—and
offered to participate in the
school’s Meet Your Teacher
Day on August 14, providing
the perfect opportunity
to promote bicycle and
pedestrian safety to children
and parents.
Traffic Engineering
Division Manager Ruby
Rozier passed out bicycle and
pedestrian safety tip cards
to adults and coloring books,
stickers, reflective armbands,
and bookmarks to children.
Christy, Kevin, and Krista,
along with Tina Wallace from
Safe Kids Orange County,
carefully adjusted straps and
fitted helmets for the kids.
Other participants included
Best Foot Forward, a
community-wide pedestrian
safety coalition formed
to make streets safer for
walkers and drivers.
By the end of the event,
approximately 100 bike
helmets had been distributed
to get children off to a
safe start.
Also in this edition, learn about
the 16th Annual Charity Golf
Tournament to benefit Heart of
Florida United Way, scheduled
for October 3, 2014. And you
won’t want to miss the annual
Fish 4 Fun tournament. This free
event is held at several Orange
County parks. See Page 3 for
more info.
Be sure to mark your calendar
for the October 6th kickoff of

New Ronald McDonald House in Lake Nona
to Provide Home Away From Home
Orange County’s third
“House that love built,” will
break ground near Nemours
Children’s Hospital in
Lake Nona this fall with an
anticipated opening in late
2015.
“Each day at Nemours
Children’s Hospital, we see
families who have traveled
very far for our special kind
of care,” said Barbara Meeks,
Chief Nurse Executive at
Nemours Children’s Hospital.
“In just our first- year-anda-half of operations, our
unique medical services have
drawn families from 47 out
of the 50 United States and
44 different countries.”
According to Meeks, the
new Ronald McDonald House
will offer families a “home away
from home,” allowing them to
focus more on their child and
less on finding accommodations
away from the familiar
surroundings of home.
There are currently two
Ronald McDonald Houses in
Orlando - one on the campus
of Arnold Palmer Medical
Center and another adjacent
to the Florida Hospital for
Children where an estimated
1,800 families stay annually to
care for critically ill children.
“There is currently no
lodging in Medical City,
meaning parents are sleeping
in their child’s hospital room,
waiting rooms, or in their cars
to be close to their seriously
ill children,” said Lou Ann De
Voogd, President and CEO
of Ronald McDonald House
Charities of Central Florida, Inc.
The new Ronald McDonald
House will provide 15
bedrooms, healing gardens,
common areas, and a large
kitchen where community
members can volunteer their
time to assist families of
critically ill children.

Orange County Receives Two Pollution
Prevention Awards
The North America Hazardous Materials Management
Association (NAHMMA) is a national non-profit organization
dedicated to pollution prevention and reducing the hazardous
components entering municipal waste streams from
households, small businesses, and other entities.
Orange County is the proud recipient of two NAHMMA
(Florida Chapter) awards this year. Congratulations to Orange
County Utilities (OCU) and the Orange County Environmental
Protection Division (EPD) for being recognized for their
environmental stewardship. OCU employee Oscar Ramos
accepted the 2014 Community Service Award for the county’s
Household Hazardous Waste Program, while EPD employees
Martha Worland, Lauren Staly, Richard Stephens, Larry
Ross, Vanessa Cruz, and Mark Overstreet accepted the 2014
Longstanding Program Excellence Award for the county’s Small
Quantity Generator Program.

Orange County Unites for 2014
Summer of Service
In support of Mayor Teresa Jacobs’ Summer of Service
initiative, local citizens worked together and volunteered
in the program’s cleanup and community improvement
events, continuing the tradition of Orange County’s
“neighbors helping neighbors” philosophy.
The initiative, now in its third year, began on the first day
of summer and connected citizens with Orange County
Government and its partner agencies in 19 volunteer
events. Since its inception, more than 850 volunteers
have participated in the initiative. This summer alone,
more than 400 volunteers participated in “Fixin’ Up the
Neighborhood,” an annual project that focused this year
on the Washington Shores community. Sponsored by the
Neighborhood Preservation and Revitalization Division,
it assists qualifying residents with home repairs and
improvements.
“I truly appreciate the work of the volunteers,” said
resident Bobby Watson. “I’ve lived in Washington Shores
for 25 years and it warms my heart that someone would
care to take the time to help our neighborhood out.”
Watson’s home was pressure washed, primed, and painted
a light green color. A group of volunteers spent a weekend
working on his home, as well as others in the community.
Fixin’ Up the Neighborhood (formerly “Paint the Town”)
began in 2003 and is made possible by a grant program.
“This program gives the community a face-lift and it
usually causes the other neighbors to take pride in their
homes,” said Tabitha Wood, coordinator of Fixin’ Up the
Neighborhood. “It puts a smile on my face to help the
residents who are unable to get their homes painted due
to being on a fixed income or being a widow or widower.
Of course, none of this would be possible without our
volunteers.”
Other 2014 Summer of Service events included storm
drain labeling, restocking food pantries, and assisting the
homeless moving to a new shelter.

Service, please visit www.ocfl.net/OpenGovernment/

Orange County Goes to D.C.
Mayor Jacobs and Chief
Information Officer (CIO)
Rafael Mena were honored to attend a meeting
at FEMA Headquarters in
Washington D.C. in May to
demonstrate innovations
in emergency response. The
briefing focused on the federal government’s efforts to
prepare for and respond to
severe storms and included
President Obama, Assistant
to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco, and
19 other representatives
from federal, state and local
agencies.
As one of only three organizations selected and the
only local government in
the nation invited to give a
presentation, Mayor Jacobs
and Mena joined officials
from the Commonwealth
of Virginia and the U.S.
Department of Energy in
discussing the technology
innovations that will better
inform and involve the
public in preparedness and
response activities.
“I was incredibly honored
to share with the President
and his response team all of
what Orange County is doing to help citizens prepare
for and stay safe during
and after extreme weather
events,” Mayor Jacobs said.
Mena gave overviews of
the OCFL Alert and OCFL
311 mobile apps that assist
residents in emergency
situations.

“The purpose of our
presentation was to show
the President the innovative technology we’ve
implemented to support
our residents and visitors
before, during, and after an
emergency. What makes our
apps unique is the true integration with our emergency
response systems. It gives
sidewalk cracks directly

President was very engaged
during our presentation.
We were proud to showcase
this cutting-edge emergency

OCFL ALERT is a firstof-its-kind emergency

provides critical, life-saving
information, including shelter locations, water and ice

The President thanked
Orange County for “its
initiative in developing tools
to help prepare and engage

Additionally, the President directed his team to

with state, local, tribal, and
private sector partners and
apply the lessons learned
from Hurricane Sandy and
other recent storms.

What Should I Do
to Prepare for Flu Season?
The Center for Disease Control
and Prevention, (CDC), recommends a yearly flu vaccine for
everyone six months of age and
older as the first and most important step in protecting against
this serious disease. While there
are many different flu viruses, the
seasonal flu vaccine is designed
to protect against the top three
or four that research indicates
will cause the most illness during
the flu season. People should begin getting vaccinated soon after
flu vaccine becomes available,
ideally by October, to ensure
that as many people as possible
are protected before flu season
begins.
In addition to getting vaccinated,
you can take everyday
preventive steps like staying
away from sick people and
washing your hands to reduce
the spread of germs. If you
are sick with flu, stay home
from work or school to prevent
spreading it to others.
Discounted flu shots are being
offered to employees and their
families this fall at the locations
listed below.
u Cost is only $5 for regular
Orange County BCC
employees, $10 for eligible
dependent family members
at least two years of age.
u The employee must
accompany family members
at the time of shot.
u You must show your ID at
time of shot.
u If you are on Coumadin, have
thrombocytopenia (“thin
blood”), or are pregnant, you
must check with your medical
provider and obtain a written
recommendation prior to
receiving vaccination.
