The City of Fellsmere was not notified of this new policy ahead of time. Personally, I think the action was perhaps a reaction to my exposure of the excess tires at the landfill. I, along with the City of Fellsmere, have been trying to work with the County for three years now to find alternatives to the ugly entrance of Fellsmere created by the mess at the transfer station. To date we, the County, have given the City nothing but lip service. I would request that we try some cooperation, that we allow the City the courtesy of dumping its small amount of trash at the transfer station, and that we immediately begin working towards a resolution of the appearance of the site. if we cannot achieve that small step, I would suggest that we look for personnel that can. Commissioner Adams wished to have staff address what happened and then ask Fellsmere Mayor Robert Baker to relate the City's position. Utilities Director Terry Pinto stated that it is a question of whether we want to receive commercial material at the transfer station. He stated that Fellsmere was notified two months ago of the County's position; however, they were not notified in writing. He believed the attendant at the transfer station was just trying to do his job. Commissioner Bird understood that the driver tried to drop off construction and demolition (C & D) material which is not acceptable at any transfer station and must be taken to the Landfill. Chairman Macht understood the City had loaned their vehicle to the creative playground project to carry off the remaining debris.
