WAIVING LANDFILL FEES FOR MARSH CLEANUP OF ENTIRE <br />ST. JOHNS WATER BASIN <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/8/96: <br />TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />FROM; FRAN B. ADAMS, CHAIRMAN <br />DATE: January 8, 1996 <br />RE: Waiving landfill fees for marsh cleanup <br />The St. Johns River Water Management District has scheduled a marsh cleanup of the <br />entire St. Johns Water basin for March 2, 1996. <br />Holly Dill, Executive Director, Environmental Learning Center is our Indian River County <br />coordinator for the event. We are expecting approximately 300 volunteers to pick up trash, <br />both in the marsh and along the edges of roads and dikes. Harris Sanitation will be <br />providing bins. <br />We are hereby requesting a waiver of fees at the County landfill for the trash collected <br />during the marsh cleanup. We expect approximately 80 cubic yards of trash. <br />Administrator Chandler noted that normally there would not be <br />a fee for this- type of program. In the past, from a staff <br />perspective, we felt the type of debris from a cleanup program <br />could be taken to the transfer stations and a fee was not levied. <br />Therefore, there is no fee to waive. <br />Commissioner Eggert understood then that we are not setting a <br />precedent here, and Administrator Chandler responded affirmatively. <br />TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/8./96: <br />TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />FROM: FRAN B. ADAMS, CHAIRMAN <br />DATE: January 8, 1996 <br />RE: Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council <br />We have been approached by representatives of Brevard County who are interested in <br />perhaps forming another Regional Planning Council that would include. Brevard, Indian <br />River and Volusia Counties. Brevard and Volusia Counties feel dwarfed by Orange <br />County and don't feel that they have much in common with Orange County. I feel we are <br />sometimes dwarfed by Palm Beach County. <br />I'm requesting the assignment of a staff member to investigate the cost and rewards of <br />joining with Brevard and Volusia Counties to form a Central Coast Regional Planning <br />Council. <br />JANUARY 9, 1996 37 BOOK 9� PAGE 86 <br />
