Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final July 18, 2017 <br />Robin Mitchell, Project Manager, Kessler Consulting Inc., continued the <br />PowerPoint Presentation to provide background and analysis on the recycling <br />approaches of four Florida counties which have achieved high recycling rates <br />through traditional avenues. <br />Discussion ensued regarding specific aspects of recycling. <br />Director Mehta resumed the PowerPoint Presentation to provide a summary of <br />proposed key approaches to increasing recycling. He reiterated that the C&D <br />represents the next opportunity for the County to capture additional recyclables, and <br />requested that the Board authorize staff to obtain bids to implement concrete and <br />C&D recycling at the landfill. He reported that the mulch will no longer be <br />stockpiled - it will be shipped out to increase the County's recycling rate. Director <br />Mehta also noted that commercial developers are being encouraged to provide for <br />recycling bins. <br />Commissioner Zorc stated it might be beneficial to offer the commercial developers <br />some type of benefit if they choose to provide a recycling container. <br />A brief discussion ensued about the most effective timetables for processing the <br />C&D and concrete debris. <br />Director Mehta stated that staff would prepare a draft version of the Request For <br />Proposal (RFP) for Board input and incorporate any requested changes before <br />issuing the final RFP. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Solari, seconded by Commissioner Zorc, to <br />authorize staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to approve staffs <br />recommendation.
