Attachments: Staff Report Agreement Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Director Himanshu Mehta advised the Board that Republic Services (RS) had notified the County that they would no longer be able to transport the County's recyclables to St. Lucie County for processing.

He added that his department still sought approval of the agreement with Bulk Transport which would be implemented only if processing resumed in St. Lucie.

The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 5- Chairman O'Bryan, Vice Chairman Earman, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Flescher, and Commissioner Moss Indian River County Florida Page 1
