Director Mehta described the criteria and point system requirements in accordance with <br />County Ordinance, and informed the Board that after review, the Committee's recommendation <br />was to award the highest ranking to Treasure Coast Refuse, for best meeting the requirements <br />throughout the application process. He also informed the Board that if a Franchise is awarded <br />today, the existing Franchise Agreement with Waste Management would have to be modified <br />and brought back for approval, because Waste Management is currently servicing the <br />unincorporated Enterprise Zone. <br />Staff's recommendation was therefore, to either approve the application by Treasure <br />Coast Refuse for a third franchise in the unincorporated Enterprise Zone; authorize staff to <br />prepare a new third Franchise Agreement; make modifications to the existing franchise <br />agreements; bring these agreements to the Board at a future scheduled meeting; or to deny all <br />three applications and make no changes to the existing waste hauling Franchise Agreement. <br />Commissioner Solari asked when did the current Agreement (with Waste Management) <br />go into effect for the subject area, and was informed by Mr. Mehta that the Franchise Agreement <br />was renewed on October 1, 2008, for a seven-year contract. <br />The Chairman invited the three Applicants to make their presentations. <br />Director Mehta, upon inquiry from Vice Chairman Flescher, explained that the contract <br />just recently renewed was a seven-year contract that was approved on October 1, 2008, and we <br />were currently under two separate seven-year contracts, one with Waste Management for the <br />north part of the County, and the other with Treasure Coast Refuse for the south part of the <br />County. <br />April 21, 2009 <br />S.W.D.D. <br />3 <br />
