MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari, SECONDED <br /> by Vice Chairman Davis, to approve the advertisement for a <br /> Public Hearing on Tuesday, November 18, 2014 for a Solid <br /> Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Ordinance update, to clarify the <br /> procurement process for the SWDD collection franchise <br /> agreement(s). <br /> Vice Chairman Davis asked what brought about the need for the <br /> proposed SWDD Code Amendments. <br /> Director Burke responded that the County has decided to go out <br /> for a bid for the SWDD collection services, which was not <br /> previously done. <br /> During discussion between the Board and Attorney Reingold, it <br /> was stressed that the proposed amendments would help ensure a <br /> fair bidding process for all contractors. <br /> Bob Johnson sought and received clarification on the proposed <br /> Ordinance. <br /> Commissioner Zorc suggested having contractors note on their <br /> application, under "Vehicle Description Type," if their collection <br /> vehicles are fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG). <br /> The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the Motion <br /> carried unanimously. <br /> ------------------ --- --- -------------------- - <br /> 12:04 3. Amendment No. 5 to Republic Services for the Closing of Winter <br /> p.m. Beach Customer Convenience Center <br /> (memorandum dated October 27, 2014) 268-276 <br /> - ------------------------ ----- --- - <br /> Director Burke recalled the Board's decision on September 23, <br /> 2014, to shut down the Winter Beach Customer Convenience <br /> Center (CCC), and negotiate for a cost reduction with Republic <br /> Services of Florida, LLC (Republic). He said that Republic has <br /> agreed to reduce costs by $250,000 annually, and that there will <br /> be a savings of $500,000 in proposed capital improvements for <br /> the CCC. Director Burke said that staff proposes to send a flyer <br /> to notify residents of the Winter Beach closure and the <br /> availability of curbside waste pickup by Waste Management, and <br /> to direct them to the Gifford and Roseland CCC's. He asked if <br /> the Board wanted to change the proposed closing date of <br /> Wednesday, December 31, 2014, since the CCC's are normally <br /> closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Director Burke thereafter <br /> gave staff's recommendation for the Board to approve the <br /> distribution of the flyer notifying the public of the closure, and <br /> the Fifth Amendment to Republic Services' landfill contract for <br /> the closing of the Winter Beach CCC. <br /> Solid Waste Disposal District Page 2 <br /> November 4,2014 <br />
