BOOK 101 PAGE 232 . RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the following: 1) The Board of County Commissioners approve the Resolution and Memorandum of Agreement allowing the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds for Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., not to exceed $10,000,000. 2) Authorize the Chairwoman or Vice Chairman to sign the Resolution and Memorandum of Agreement. 3) Approve the advertising of the TEFRA hearing to be held on May 6, 1997. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED BY Commissioner Tippin, to approve staffs recommendation as set forth in the memorandum. Commissioner Adams thought this was wonderful, but was very concerned about them having to come to the Board for a franchise, which she deemed unfair. She felt that we should be helping them to keep the waste out of the Landfill. Chairman Eggert recalled that this had been pulled off the agenda once because it was thought to be in conflict with our solid waste ordinances. County Attorney Vitunac explained that the County's ordinance gives first claim on waste products to the County, which would have been needed if the County had gone into a recycling operation. He added that it takes a letter to get us out of our bond and ordinance restrictions. Administrator Chandler explained that it should not be looked at as an obstacle but a very simple sign -off situation. Brian Bogart agreed (from the audience). Attorney Vitunac advised that the TEFRA hearing would be held on May a as advertised. Administrator Chandler advised that the resolution under consideration was the revised one distributed to the Board the prior afternoon. There were some changes in the language to make it clear. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion carried unanimously. (4-0, Commissioner Macht being absent) (Res Mon 97-34 adopted) AGREEMENT ON FILE IN OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD 54 April 22, 1997
