Authorize the Office <br />of Management and Budget (OMB) to prepare a budget amendment for Fiscal <br />Year 2017/2018 in the amount of $121,093.20 to cover the payment to the <br />Town for recycling services and the purchase of the carts from WM; and, 4. <br />Authorize OMB to prepare a budget amendment for Fiscal Year 2018/19 in the <br />amount of $72,000 to cover the payment to the Town for recycling services. <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />Interlocal Agreement <br />Memorandum of Understanding <br />Chairman O'Bryan explained that as part of the Interlocal Agreement between <br />the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) and the Town of Indian River Shores <br />(the Town), the Town would be receiving some funding from the SWDD to <br />compensate its franchised collector for base recycling services. He voiced <br />concerns about how the SWDD would monitor the recycling tonnages, since <br />the County's recycling is provided by Waste Management Inc. of Florida. Vice <br />Chairman Solari requested that staff monitor the Town's recycling. <br />Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke stated that staff could evaluate the <br />material coming into the County's collection facility, and/or perform a waste <br />composition study. Managing Director of the SWDD Himanshu Mehta <br />mentioned that the SWDD's provision of single -stream recycling carts to the <br />Town's residents would be a significant step forward. <br />Additional discussion ensued between the Board and County Attorney Dylan <br />Reingold about ensuring that the Town's recycling efforts are consistent with <br />the State's 75% recycling goal. Attorney Reingold noted that staffs focus had <br />been to make sure that the Town would be providing long-term recycling <br />services. <br />County Administrator Jason Brown informed the Board that both the Interlocal <br />Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding contemplate that the Town <br />will participate in the County's next rebid for recycling services in 2022, and <br />that may be the point at which this issue is re-examined. <br />Indian River County Florida Page 2 <br />
