address the problems addressed to Harris Sanitation, but did <br />not believe they are relevant to Waste Management taking <br />over Indian River Sanitation. Mr. Knight then brought up <br />problems with the way the county garbage franchise is <br />written, pointing out that yardmen who take clippings and <br />trash from various homes to the Landfill are not franchised <br />nor are the trailer parks which are picking up garbage from <br />hundreds of residential units. <br />Sam Harris, President of Harris Sanitation, next came <br />before the Board and explained that because his company was <br />the only one that had roll -off boxes, they were called to <br />the county, and, in fact, during renovation of the <br />Courthouse, he was requested to put one of these boxes at <br />the door of the Courthouse. He reported that he has a <br />county occupational license and he does pick up in the <br />cities within the county. In regard to the Citrus School, <br />he stated that he talked to the contractor and directed him <br />to move the boxes, but the School Board said the County did <br />not have jurisdiction over their agreement with the <br />contractor. The boxes were removed, however, after the <br />second notification. <br />Question arose as to litigation, and Mr. Harris stated <br />that he was not familiar with any litigation outside of his <br />own company. He noted that Waste Management, Inc., is <br />listed on the New York Stock Exchange and anyone can see <br />their books. <br />Commissioner Bird noted that Attorney Houlihan received <br />a letter from W. Brand Bobosky, Associate General Counsel <br />for Waste Management, Inc., containing the following <br />statement: <br />"However, I can also assure you that there is no <br />litigation now pending against Waste Management of Florida, <br />Inc. which could adversely affect the outcome of this <br />proposed assignment." <br />DEC 161981 58 8 ew.310 <br />
