which would eliminate the duplication we have now. So, any wear and tear to the roads would be cut in half. Commissioner Wheeler asked if we are going to be able to service such remote areas as Blue Cypress and areas where houses are set back quite a ways from street, and Director Pinto said that there are provisions for exemptions in some cases. Mr. Schick agreed with the others that we need to send this matter back to the drawing board. He believed there should be no taxation without representation, and that it is going to get so that people will not be able to live in Vero Beach anymore except for the Johns Island type. He thanked the Board for their time. Ralph Lundy wished to make one more point and that is that renters will be afraid to put their garbage out at the curb fearing that the property owner will raise their rent, but Director Pinto explained that anyone who lives in a residence in the county whether they rent or own their homes will have their garbage picked up no matter what relationship they have with their landlord. Every residence will be assessed for the service, so people may as well use it because the property owner will not be charged anything less just because garbage isn't put out on the curb. There being no others who wished to speak, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. After almost three hours of discussion, the Commission indicated their desire to send the proposed mandatory collection ordinance back to staff for further research and alternatives. Commissioner Wheeler preferred going with mandatory recycling before going into mandatory collection. Commissioner Bowman wanted to give voluntary recycling more of a chance. Chairman Eggert was concerned about liens being placed on people's homes for non-payment of this assessment. Commissioner Bird wanted staff to come back with the overall costs so that the actual monthly pickup charge can be determined. 33 AUG 0 1J"� 1 r Eek; F 1i G 199Q Gap
