NELSON - County Administrator <br />Lawyers Title Building <br />2345 14th Avenue, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Telephone: (305) 562-4186 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: County Administrator <br />Secretary to Board <br />Telephone: (305) 569-1940 <br />February 5, 1981 <br />SUBJECT: Police and Cleaning of Transfer Sites <br />We have had numerous complaints concerning the state <br />of police of our refuse transfer sites located at various <br />points in the County. <br />Keeping these stations clean is a continuing requirement <br />and we do not have sufficient personnel at this time to give <br />this problem a priority. If the Commissioners desire that <br />the police improve, then I would need authority to increase <br />the refuse department by one employee. This employee could, <br />with assistance of the Correctional Institute Prisoner <br />Working Party, improve on the policing of these sites. <br />The cost for an additional employee on the maintenance <br />level would be an annual salary of $8,049.60. Yearly retire- <br />ment cost of $732.51. Yearly insurance cost of $922.80. FICA, <br />$496.63 and Workmen's Compensation, $624.60 for a total of <br />$10,826.14. <br />This employee, when not involved in policing the transfer <br />stations, could be used in other trash and refuse pickups <br />throughout the County. <br />--�.

Nelson <br />County Administrator <br />COMMISSIONER FLETCHER NOTED THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL TRUCK <br />COMING ON LINE SHORTLY, WHICH SHOULD ENABLE US TO HAVE MORE PICK UPS <br />AND THEREBY CURE THIS SITUATION, WHICH HE BELIEVED,.

OTHER BOARD MEMBERS FELT THE <br />SITUATION IS CAUSED BY CARELESS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO ARE IN THE <br />HABIT OF DUMPING THEIR GARBAGE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR ANYWHERE. <br />ADMINISTRATOR NELSON STATED THAT WE HAVE THE PERSONNEL TO OPERATE <br />THE TRUCKS AND KEEP THEM GOING, BUT THIS PROBLEM INVOLVES POLICING <br />THE OVERALL GENERAL TRANSFER SITE AREAS, WHICH ARE IN TERRIBLE CONDITION <br />COMMISSIONER FLETCHER THEN DISCUSSED THE ALTERNATIVE OF <br />REDESIGNING THE TRANSFER STATION, BUT IT WAS NOTED THAT WE HAVE HAD <br />
