Board of County Commissioners <br />SWDD Meeting Minutes - Final September 12, 2017 <br />B. Solid Waste Disposal District <br />The Board reconvened as the Board of Commissioners of the Solid Waste <br />Disposal District. Those minutes will be approved at an upcoming Solid Waste <br />Disposal District. <br />15.8.1. 17-0957 Tenth Amendment to Republic Services <br />Recommended Action: <br />SWDD staff recommends that its Board approve the following: a.) Approve <br />the Tenth Amendment to Republic Services to provide additional services in <br />response to Hurricane Irma for the Class 1 landfill services and for the <br />non -Class 1 landfill services, and b.) Authorize the Chairman to execute the <br />same, as presented. <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />Final Tenth Amendment to Republic Services <br />County Administrator Jason Brown stated that the Tenth Amendment to <br />Republic Services Agreement would provide additional services for landfill <br />operation and maintenance from Hurricane Irma and pointed out that the per <br />ton charge would remain unchanged. He mentioned that there may be a need <br />to mobilize additional equipment to process additional volumes of material and <br />additional staffing to cover the Convenience Centers. <br />Administrator Brown announced the operational hours of the Convenience <br />Centers and discussed garbage collection and post- hurricane vegetative debris <br />pickup. <br />Commissioner Zorc sought clarification on the Tenth Amendment to Republic <br />Services Agreement and noted that Item 4 in the previous agenda packet stated <br />the final Tenth Amendment. County Administrator replied that it was the final <br />version of the Tenth Amendment to Republic Services Agreement. <br />Commissioner Zorc felt that the County needed to make different provisions <br />prior to a storm of finding a way to get the Convenience Centers cleaned up, so <br />they can be opened up quickly after a storm. Administrator Brown agreed and <br />replied that it was the intent, but that the conditions with the storm had <br />changed. <br />Chairman Flescher mentioned that there were long lines at the Convenience <br />Centers until closing, and suggested calling upon Republic Services to see if <br />they had a contingency plan for the future. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Solari, seconded by Vice Chairman <br />O'Bryan to approve the Tenth Amendment to Republic Services to provide <br />additional services in response to Hurricane Irma for the Class 1 landfill services <br />and for the non-Classl landfill services and authorize the Chairman to execute <br />the same, as presented. The motion carried by the following vote: <br />Indian River County Florida <br />Page 1 <br />
