<br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bowden, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Neuberger, to deny the <br />request of Mr. Williams. <br /> <br />Mr. Williams inquired if he could pay the $6,232.96 and Commissioners indicated <br />their objections to negotiating at this time. <br /> <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />carried unanimously. (Mr. Williams request to settle was <br />denied.) <br /> <br />10. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S MATTERS – HURRICANE <br />WILMA DEBRIS CLEAN-UP – F.E.M.A. REIMBURSEMENT – <br />OMNI PINNACLE, L.L.C. <br /> <br />County Administrator Baird reviewed the “policy” set out by the Public Works Director <br />(see the additional backup) as well as the estimates of debris and estimated costs for pickup. He <br />also speculated on what FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) would pay toward the <br />project. He advised that in order for FEMA to reimburse for pickup in private subdivisions, the <br />subdivision must receive regular school bus pickup and mail service and give written permission <br />from the subdivision’s property owners association for the County to access their property. The <br />service also must be pre-approved by FEMA. He specified that this year’s debris from Hurricane <br />Wilma was far less than generated by Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne last year. He requested the <br />Board to allow staff to begin the pickup on Friday in non-private areas. The plan is to have two <br />passes and pickup will start in south county and proceed northward. Yard debris should be piled <br />on road rights-of-way but not where it would negatively impact drainage or mailboxes. The <br />November 1, 2005 13 <br /> <br />
