TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COleaSSIONERS <br />FROM: Terrance G. Pinto, Utility Services Director <br />DATE: December 8, 1993 <br />RE: SLUDGE/SEPTAGE ORDINANCE <br />On August 25, 1993, the County Commission and City Council met jointly <br />to discuss the County sludge/septage proposed ordinance. After much <br />discussion, the County moved to delay any County action on the ordinance <br />for 90 days to allow the City time to study the matter, hire a <br />consultant, and make recommendations to the City. <br />The Department of Utility Services has been informed that the City is <br />seeking proposals from haulers to transport City sludge outside the <br />boundaries of Indian River County for disposal. On November 25, 1993, <br />the 90 -day time frame expired; therefore, it would be appropriate for <br />the County to proceed to take whatever action that is necessary on the <br />sludge/septage ordinance. <br />Administrator Chandler understood that the consultant's report <br />on a Vero Beach sludge treatment facility is nearly completed. <br />Meanwhile, the City is hauling the sludge out of the county. <br />Larry Braisted, Vero Beach City Attorney, confirmed that the <br />City Council will review the consultant's report on January 4, <br />1994. <br />After further discussion, Commissioner Adams suggested that we <br />schedule a public hearing on the ordinance now, as we should know <br />what the City plans to do before that hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously (4-0, <br />Chairman Bird being absent) scheduled a public <br />hearing for January 25, 1994, at 9:05 a.m., on a <br />proposed County ordinance regarding the disposal of <br />sludge and septage. <br />31 <br />14 1993 8.009 91 PAGE 950 <br />
