Board of Commissioners SWDD Meeting Minutes - Final April 8, 2025 <br />Mr. Mehta stated that Republic Services was recognized as the lowest bidder, <br />offering annual savings of $535,980. Staff recommended not requiring additional <br />personnel at the entrance gates of the CCCs to verify IRC residency and <br />suggested negotiating further cost savings with Republic Services. He advised <br />evaluating the impact on the use of CCCs at intervals of 6, 12, and 18 months <br />after the implementation of Universal Collection in Unincorporated Indian River <br />County. He noted that closing the Roseland and Winter Beach CCCs could save <br />the County approximately $1.4 million annually, with potential savings allocated to <br />improve the remaining CCCs. <br />The Board and staff discussed the operation of the convenience centers, with a <br />focus on customer service and operational efficiency. They agreed to opt out of <br />residency verification to avoid potential complications and public dissatisfaction. <br />The Board planned to monitor the impact of the upcoming Universal Collection <br />Services on CCC usage. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Vice Chairman <br />Loar, to approve staffs recommendation. The motion carried by the following <br />vote: <br />Aye: 5 - Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman Loar, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner <br />Earman, and Commissioner Moss <br />Indian River County, Florida Page 3 <br />
