I <br />FEB 21992 F'" , 8 Bol <br />Commissioner Wodtke felt that he would personally <br />have been aware of any such activity in the last nine years. <br />Attorney Bergerson stated that he could not <br />guarantee something of which he was not aware. It was <br />possible that some employee appeared before a Grand Jury and <br />he was not aware of that fact. <br />The Chairman asked if there was anyone present who <br />wished to be heard. <br />Attorney Robert Jackson, representing Rural <br />Sanitation, appeared before the Board. He stated that he <br />did not want to throw any cold water over this discussion, <br />but many people have been telling them things regarding the <br />company in question. He felt that Administrator Nelson was <br />ovefly enthusiastic about the company. He expressed concern <br />about how this company interchanges the names of their <br />companies. Attorney Jackson referred to various newsletters <br />and discussed them with the Board. He urged the Board to be <br />aware that in the business of picking up waste, the profit <br />was in having the commercial business, not the residential, <br />and he feared that this would happen with the new people <br />coming in. Attorney Jackson commented that they could come <br />in, lower the rates to get the business from the other <br />franchise holders, and then the rates would go up. He hoped <br />the ordinance would be strictly enforced so as not to <br />under -cut his client's business. <br />Commissioner -Bird stated that an extensive attempt <br />was made to contact fifty municipalities, and they could not <br />get one county to say anything negative about this company. <br />Attorney Jackson advised him to call the Indian <br />River Memorial Hospital and ask them to write about having a <br />bad nurse. It is all done orally; nobody wants to put anything <br />negative like that in writing. He reiterated that they could <br />not get people to put things in writing that were bad. <br />
