create regional facilities in the future, but unfortunately they are 2 years c own the road <br />before anything would ever happen. There is no guarantee it will be perfect. His <br />recommendation was to accept the report and direct staff to bring back another proposal at <br />the beginning of the month to move forward with these improvements. <br />In response to Commissioner Neuberger, Director Olson advised that existing <br />conditions were used. He mentioned the City of Vero Beach and options that have been <br />explored and advised that the real problem is the septage and grease received. He <br />anticipated that the County will need to tighten up on septage and grease we receive. He <br />believed additional sludge, if the City partners with the County, will not a problem. <br />Mr. Hentz and Director Olson responded to several questions of Commissioner <br />Neuberger with regard to the quantity of sludge being imported and some measures which <br />have already been taken recently to somewhat (30% improvement) reduce the odor. <br />Director Olson believed that when the moratorium (on sludge) issue comes back to <br />the Board his recommendation will be to continue it until we get the improvements in place. <br />Also, they may get a recommendation for a more constrained set of requirements on <br />acceptance of outside septage and sludge that would be coming into the Cou -ity. <br />Vice Chairman Ginn mentioned that the Utilities Advisory Committee voted <br />unanimously to recommend that we do all the improvements. <br />Victor Hart, Sr., 4635 34`h Avenue, advised that the odor is much better than <br />before. He advised of a meeting when citizens reported that things were better. He <br />appreciated the Commissioners allowing Director Olson to work on this and advised that <br />his heart is in the right place. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lowther, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously authorized the <br />March 11, 2003 <br />27 n 3 <br />
