MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari, SECONDED <br />by Vice Chairman Davis, to approve the advertisement for a <br />Public Hearing on Tuesday, November 18, 2014 for a Solid <br />Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Ordinance update, to clarify the <br />procurement process for the SWDD collection franchise <br />agreement(s). <br />Vice Chairman Davis asked what brought about the need for the <br />proposed SWDD Code Amendments. <br />Director Burke responded that the County has decided to go out <br />for a bid for the SWDD collection services, which was not <br />previously done. <br />During discussion between the Board and Attorney Reingold, it <br />was stressed that the proposed amendments would help ensure a <br />fair bidding process for all contractors. <br />Bob Johnson sought and received clarification on the proposed <br />Ordinance. <br />Commissioner Zorc suggested having contractors note on their <br />application, under "Vehicle Description Type," if their collection <br />vehicles are fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG). <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />12:04 3. Amendment No. 5 to Republic Services for the Closing of Winter <br />p.m. Beach Customer Convenience Center <br />(memorandum dated October 27, 2014) <br />268-276 <br />Director Burke recalled the Board's decision on September 23, <br />2014, to shut down the Winter Beach Customer Convenience <br />Center (CCC), and negotiate for a cost reduction with Republic <br />Services of Florida, LLC (Republic). He said that Republic has <br />agreed to reduce costs by $250,000 annually, and that there will <br />be a savings of $500,000 in proposed capital improvements for <br />the CCC. Director Burke said that staff proposes to send a flyer <br />to notify residents of the Winter Beach closure and the <br />availability of curbside waste pickup by Waste Management, and <br />to direct them to the Gifford and Roseland CCC's. He asked if <br />the Board wanted to change the proposed closing date of <br />Wednesday, December 31, 2014, since the CCC's are normally <br />closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Director Burke thereafter <br />gave staff's recommendation for the Board to approve the <br />distribution of the flyer notifying the public of the closure, and <br />the Fifth Amendment to Republic Services' landfill contract for <br />the closing of the Winter Beach CCC. <br />Solid Waste Disposal District Page 2 <br />November 4, 2014 <br />
