Commissioner O'Bryan disagreed with the Motion, because he felt we were putting an <br />additional burden on this Franchise that we do not require of other Franchises. He could not see <br />how this could be measured in these review criteria, based on how this application is structured. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher appreciated the Motion; did not see an undue burden on the <br />applicant, but instead saw an advantage and flexibility for the small business. <br />Commissioner Solari did not see this as a burden, but as an additional opportunity. <br />Jeff Thompson, Seville Avenue, Vero Beach, thought it was an excellent opportunity for <br />this Commission to step up and give a small business owner an opportunity to expand the trash <br />pickup. He also supported giving local businesses an opportunity, and wanted them to be held <br />accountable. <br />Ardra Rigby, 8465 59th Avenue, thanked the Board for establishing a third Franchise <br />area, and urged Commissioners to look at the positive side and not only the negative. <br />Bill Rigby, 8465 59th Avenue, addressed the issue of a tax incentive raised by <br />Commissioner Solari; talked about proposed goals for the Enterprise Zone; believed the Board <br />was moving in the right direction of helping small and local residents in the community; and <br />asked whether the local office had to be in the Zone. <br />Chairman Davis did not think the office has to be in the Zone, but believed points are <br />awarded if they are. Administrator Baird pointed out that the provisions are that local offices in <br />the Enterprise Zone get 10 points. <br />Mr. Rigby sought clarity on meeting requirements/gaining points for having a business <br />in the Enterprise Zone, to which Administrator Baird explained that the criteria are subject to <br />review and change by the Board. <br />December 9, 2008 <br />S.W.D.D. <br />2 <br />
