The City
Commission consists of 5 elected officials. The
Mayor is elected citywide, and the Commissioners
are elected by the members of their respective
district. Together, they make the decisions to
keep Ocoee the "Center of Good Living."
The settlement of
Ocoee began when Dr. J. D. Starke led a group of
slaves into the area in the mid 1850s. Many of
the men, including Starke, were stricken with
malaria and hoped by moving they could escape
further outbreaks.
They established a
camp along the northern shores of a lake with
open pine woods and found that the clear, clean
water did indeed bring them better health. So
Starke and his slaves worked in the fields near
Lake Apopka during the day and retired to this
haven at night.
It was around this
nucleus in which the community of Starke Lake
began to grow. Though the town would eventually
change its name, the lake which brought such
good health to the man who originally settled
here still bears his name - Starke Lake.
The City of Ocoee is
just one of many government agencies that
provide services to Ocoee residents and
businesses. The City of Ocoee Government has
many parts that make it run. First and foremost
are the citizens. Citizens elect four
commissioners and a mayor to represent their
needs. Citizens also contribute by being a part
of volunteer and advisory boards. The are also
many community events where volunteers can help
their fellow citizens.
These five
elected officials consist of four Commissioners
and a Mayor. Each of the Commissioners is
elected by and represents a specific district
(section) of the City. The Mayor is elected by
and represents all citizens of Ocoee.
The elected
officials hire a City Manager who is responsible
for the daily operations of the City. The City
Manager delegates management of specific
functions of the City to Department Directors.
