BCC AGENDA <br />April 12, 2016 <br />ITEM 14.A (1) <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners <br />DATE: April 5, 2016 <br />SUBJECT: Recycling Used Bikes <br />FROM: Commissioner Bob Solari <br />During the past year bicycle groups have become more active in Indian River <br />county and have engaged in a number of positive activities that have been <br />building the sport in Indian River County. At least one group has made it their <br />mission to recycle, repair and redistribute bikes to many in our community who <br />do not have one. Repairing and recycling bicycles seems to be a much better <br />use of discarded bicycles than does selling them for scrap. <br />I wanted to see if the Board was interested in making it the policy of the County <br />to make any bikes that the County collects available to vetted bike rehab groups <br />for repair and redistribution. <br />I would suggest that any group accepted by the County for a rehab program be <br />asked to submit a simple annual report noting: <br />1. The number of bikes taken in and recycled. <br />2. 1 The weight of the bikes taken in and recycled (so we can get proper credit <br />for recycling from the state. <br />3. ; In broad terms, who received the bikes <br />Thank you. <br />241 <br />
