ITEM 4.A
Public Hearing — First Reading — Proposed Ordinance # 26-12 — Criteria for Commercial
Vehicles in Residential Districts
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF THE CITY OF KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA CODE OF
ORDINANCES TITLES; UPDATING CRITERIA FOR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES IN RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICTS, CHAPTER 42-67 ADDING HEAVY COMMERCIAL VEHICLES, CHAPTER 42-68
ADDING GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING, AND CHAPTER 42-69 ADDING GROSS VEHICLE
WEIGHT RATING; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH AND PROVIDING
AN EFFECTIVE DATE
Request
Request approval of the proposed changes to Chapters 42-67, 42-68, and 42-69 of the City Code of
Ordinances regarding commercial vehicles in residential districts.
Explanation
At the April 7, 2026, City Commission meeting, the City Commission tabled this item to allow staff
additional time to research and determine the appropriate weight maximum for commercial vehicles
in residentially zoned areas. At a subsequent workshop, the Commission determined 10,000 pounds
is comparable to other jurisdictions in the area and provides an allowance for individuals with take-
home commercial vehicles, such as plumbing and electrician vans.
Proposed ordinance 2026-12 adds Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, providing a more accurate method
of determining the size of a commercial vehicle and whether said vehicle would be allowed in a
residential zoned neighborhood.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is defined as the weight of a vehicle including the weight of the vehicle,
passengers, cargo, fuel, and additional equipment. The rating is located on the vehicle's Safety
Compliance Certification Label located on the driver's side door frame or door latch pillar. This
information can also be found in the owner's manual or secured from the manufacturer's website.
This change will make it easier for vehicle owners, property owners, and Code Officers to determine
if a vehicle is allowed in the residential area of the City.
This is for vehicles with a commercial purpose and registered with the State of Florida as a
commercial vehicle.
Recommendation
Approval of the proposed changes to Chapters 42-67, 42-68, and 42-69 of the City Code of
Ordinances regarding commercial vehicles in residential districts.

ITEM 4.B
Public Hearing — First Reading — Proposed Ordinance # 26-19 — Requesting the Repeal of
the Pain Management Establishments and Pharmacies Ordinance
AN ORDINANCE REPEALING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF KISSIMMEE,
FLORIDA, CHAPTER 10, BUSINESSES AND BUSINESS REGULATIONS, ARTICLE VIII, PAIN
MANAGEMENT ESTABLISHMENTS AND PHARMACIES, DIVISIONS 1 THROUGH 4, SECTIONS
10-406 THROUGH 10-407; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Request
Request approval to repeal Chapter 10, Businesses and Business Regulations, Article VIII, Pain
Management Establishments and Pharmacies, Divisions 1 through 4, Sections 10-406 to 10-407,
which removes the ordinance governing operational guidelines for Pain Management Establishments
and Pharmacies.
Explanation
Chapter 10, Businesses and Business Regulations, Article VIII, Pain Management Establishments
and Pharmacies, Divisions 1 through 4, Sections 10-406 through 10-467, outlines the operational
procedures and reporting requirements for specified pain management businesses operating within
the City. After the ordinance's adoption, the State of Florida established similar reporting
requirements for such businesses, rendering the ordinance's reporting rules redundant and obsolete.
After consultation with Police Department Staff, Legal, and Developmental Services, City Staff has
determined that the ordinance is no longer necessary.
Recommendation
Approve the repeal of Chapter 10, Businesses and Business Regulations, Article VIII, Pain
Management Establishments and Pharmacies, Divisions 1 through 4, Sections 10-406 through 10-
407.

ITEM 7.B
Approval of contract with JCO Corporation for Emergency Vehicle Upfitting Services
Request
Request approval to piggyback on the City of Orlando's contract with JCO Corporation for emergency
vehicle upfitting services (Contract #20260264).
Explanation
The City of Kissimmee Fire Department requests Commission approval to utilize the City of Orlando
Master Agreement (IFB25-0009-3) to contract with JCO Corporation for emergency vehicle upfitting
services.
The City of Orlando entered into this agreement with JCO Corporation on April 18, 2025, following a
competitive solicitation and award process. Staff has determined that the specifications included in
the City of Orlando's solicitation are substantially similar to the Fire Department's emergency vehicle
upfitting requirements and that utilizing this cooperative purchasing agreement is economically
advantageous and in the best interest of the City.
The Agreement will become effective upon execution by both parties and will remain in effect through
April 6, 2028. The Agreement will automatically renew if the City of Orlando Master Agreement is
renewed and will remain in effect through the applicable renewal term(s).
This contract will have no impact on the operating budget, as these services were previously
budgeted to be provided by another vendor.
Recommendation
Approval to piggyback on the City of Orlando contract with JCO Corporation to provide emergency
vehicle upfitting services.
