CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT THE CITY WENT FROM A UNIT CHARGE <br />TO A VOLUME CHARGE, AND MR. FRYER AGREED THAT THE CITY PREVIOUSLY <br />CHARGED PER UNIT, I.E., IF THERE WERE 100 UNITS IN A CONDOMINIUM, <br />IT WOULD BE BASED ON THAT; IT NOW IS BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE CONTAINER. <br />CHAIRMAN SIEBERT INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE HAD RECEIVED <br />A LETTER FROM MRS. .JAMES AYERS IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED RATE <br />INCREASE, AND HE ASKED THAT IT BE MADE A PART OF THE MINUTES, AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br />�y 1771 44th Avenue <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />1 j September 23, 1980 <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />Vero Beach, Florida <br />Dear Commissioners: <br />I respectfully request that this letter be <br />considered as a protest at the hearing of Rural <br />Sanitation September 24 to increase their monthly <br />rate from $6 to $7. <br />As Rural Sanitation's rates have increased, <br />their service has deteriorated: <br />1. Their rates have already increased 100% over <br />the last few years, even higher than the national <br />inflation rate. The increase has been from $3 to <br />$6 per month. Another dollar to $7 would make <br />the rate increase an unrealistic 133/�• <br />2. Meanwhile, the service has deteriorated. <br />Instead of having trash picked up at the back <br />door as was the case for, so many years, we are <br />now required to transport it to the road, which <br />in our case is at the end of an extremely long; <br />driveway. <br />In addition, the trash collectors hurl the <br />garbage can tops indiscriminately far from the <br />pickup point, and leave the cans in the middle <br />of the driveway, almost in the road itself. <br />I would respectfully suggest that the <br />Commissioners investigate the number of hours <br />Rural Sanitation's employees work per day and <br />per week, and how much they make per hour. <br />Sincerely, <br />(Mrs. James S. Ayers) <br />37 ROOK 44 F,, jr 617 <br />SEP 2 41980 <br />
