INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT <br />BOARD MEMORANDUM <br />Date: May 23, 2014 <br />To: Joseph A. Baird, County Administrator <br />Thru: Vincent Burke, Director of Utility Services <br />From: Himanshu H. Mehta, P.E., Managing Director, Solid Waste Disposal District 3A -Th. <br />Subject: Request to Participate in the "2014 KIRB Marketplace" at Indian River Mall <br />DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: <br />The Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) promotes recycling and sustainability programs in Indian <br />River County in conjunction with the outreach and education support through Keep Indian River <br />Beautiful (KIRB). <br />SWDD has supported the Indian River Mall Green Market series for the past three years and these <br />events have been very successful for both SWDD & KIRB. Similarly, the Indian River Mall has offered <br />an opportunity to promote SWDD & KIRB this summer during the 2014 KIRB Marketplace which is <br />comprised of five separate events in June, July and August. Indian River Mall has submitted the <br />attached proposal requesting SWDD to be the title sponsor for the upcoming event. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Per the proposal, the KIRB Marketplace starts on Saturday, June 28, 2014 from 10 am to 5 pm. The <br />next two events are scheduled for Saturday, July 12th & July 26th and two additional events Saturday, <br />August 2nd and August 16th. The general theme of the marketplace encourages reusing, recycling & <br />upcycling in the forms of Artists, Crafters, Organic Goods, Botanicals and more! <br />KIRB will receive income from each event sub -sponsor, be able to solicit donations, promote the <br />Reuse Center, and encourage recycling and sustainability to County residents. We may also consider <br />distributing recycling bins at a few of the events. Overall, this is a great opportunity to promote <br />SWDD's "Think Green Live Green" message and increase participation in recycling. <br />Indian River Mall will provide the venue, event planning, equipment, maintenance and marketing. <br />Indian River Mall estimates a value to SWDD of $11,000 for the marketing of SWDD/KIRB and has <br />requested a sponsorship of $3,000. Compared to last year, this request is $1,000 less; however, the <br />number of events has been increased from 3 to 5 and the duration of the events has been increased <br />by an hour per event. <br />SWDD Agenda - Request to Participate in the 2014 KIRB Marketplace at Indian River Mall <br />Page — 1 — 122 <br />
