D. DISCUSS ADVERTISING PUBLIC HEARING FOR GREASE TRAP ORDINANCE The Board reviewed memo from County Attorney Vitunac: TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Charles P. Vitunac - County Attorney DATE: May 25, 1990 RE: GREASE TRAP (POLLUTANT INTERCEPTOR) ORDINANCE Attached is a copy of a proposed grease trap ordinance requested and written by the Indian River County Public Health Unit and the County Department of Utility Services. Both departments have recommended that the County adopt this ordinance. It Is now presented to the Board for initial review and, if the Board approves the concept, for the scheduling of a public hearing to adopt this as an ordinance. ACTION REQUESTED: Approval for staff to advertise for a public hearing to adopt ordinance. Commissioner Bird noted that as he read this, it talks about the requirements for installation for all establishments which are not solely single family or multi -family residences and gives a grace period in which to comply. He pointed out that this would include very small commercial establishments, warehouses, office buildings, dress shops, etc, and wondered if this is necessary. He further noted that it'also says establishments which can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Utility Director and Environmental Health Director, that they will not be producing grease or pollutants in certain quantities can be exempted. Chairman Eggert interjected that she already has talked to Attorney Vitunac and Director Galanis about that and asked them to rewrite this so that it is very clear exactly who has to do this and who does not. Commissioner Bird stated that he would prefer to name the ones that definitely have to have these grease traps and then exempt everybody else rather than lumping everybody into it and then letting them out one at a time.
