� � r <br />Under this ordinance, we all will be paying the same amount based <br />on a ton of garbage. Another alternative is to pay service <br />charges, i.e., every time a ton of garbage come in, they will pay <br />$30.00 a ton. This requires manpower, and people will be dumping <br />garbage all over the county. Attorney Vitunac noted there will <br />be a special charge for those who bring in special waste - those <br />who demolish houses, etc. <br />Utilities Director Pinto wished to further clarify that <br />although the letter was sent out to all property owners, this <br />charge will only be made to those who have structures on their <br />property. You must generate a waste stream in order to be <br />charged. If you live in your own home on an acre of ground or <br />less, the grass clippings, etc., is included in your charge, -and <br />if you show up at the Landfill there will be no charge and your <br />yard man will not be charging you for the dumping. You will be <br />paying on your tax bill what your dumping costs are and you will <br />no longer have to pay anywhere else. The cost covers a home and <br />one acre. If you live on 100 acres, for instance, and decide to <br />clear your property, you will have to pay based on the cleared <br />material. Director Pinto noted that it is not an easy situation <br />to monitor. The transfer stations still will be there but will <br />be manned, mainly because we have people coming in from other <br />counties dumping their trash in Indian River County. We; there- <br />fore, have to get into a more sophisticated operation of.those <br />stations. He assured everyone that we will not have a police <br />force out there not letting the people dump; we mainly want to <br />find out where the trash is being generated from. Anyone can <br />take their garbage to the dump and will not be charged. <br />A lady in the audience asked how renters will be charged, <br />and Director Pinto explained the charge is directed to the <br />property owner and appears on his tax bill. The owner will have <br />to make whatever arrangements he feels are necessary. <br />Dir. Pinto introduced Isabelle Jettinghoff of Camp, Dresser, <br />McKee, who did our master planr'and solid waste rate study. <br />DEC 2 2 198'1 <br />39 BOX 70 F'AGF 419 <br />
