Board of County Commissioners <br />Meeting Minutes - Final November 7, 2017 <br />C. Commissioner Susan Adams <br />D. Commissioner Bob Solari <br />14.D.1. 17-1139 Post -hurricane Debris Collection <br />Recommended Action: Discuss <br />Attachments: Commissioner's Memorandum <br />Commissioner Solari discussed the average cost to Indian River County <br />taxpayers for the removal of debris after Hurricane Irma, and mentioned that a <br />total of 100,906 cubic yards of material was removed from the streets of Indian <br />River County. He stated that many other counties had trouble obtaining vendors <br />to remove their trash, and consequently paid much more for debris clean-up <br />than Indian River County. He compared the averages that several other counties <br />paid to have debris removed, and pointed out that local staff was trained, <br />competent, and equipped to handle the issues, and did so in a responsible, <br />financially prudent manner. <br />Chairman Flescher expressed his appreciation to staff, as well as the <br />subcontractors who held up to their agreements, as it was tempting for them to <br />obtain work in the other counties that paid more per cubic yard to have their <br />material removed. <br />No Action Taken or Required <br />E.
