15.B.3. SCRAP METAL PROCESSING CONTRACT WITH TRADEMARK METALS <br />RECYCLING LLC <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Davis, for discussion to <br />approve staff's recommendation. <br />Vice Chairman Davis asked Director Mehta if this contract would be a benefit for the <br />taxpayers, considering the volatility of the scrap metal commodity market. <br />Director Mehta explained how the contract would give the County more protection since <br />it would be piggybacked with St. Lucie County's contract. He informed the Board that: (1) the <br />price index is much higher than what the County had been receiving; (2) the Convenience Center <br />had been taken over by a private contractor; (3) as of January, the County took over the <br />transportation of scrap metal; and (4) the benefit of Trademark Metals providing the <br />Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) removal services for refrigerators being delivered to the landfill. <br />The Vice Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the <br />Motion carried by a 3-0 vote (Chairman Bowden and <br />Commissioner Wheeler absent) approved and authorized the <br />Chairman to execute the Agreement with Trademark Metals <br />Recycling, LLC in order to piggyback St. Lucie County's <br />Scrap Metal Processing Contract, as recommended in the <br />memorandum of September 15, 2008. <br />AGREEMENT ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />September 23, 2008 6 <br />S.W.D.D. <br />
