B. HISTORICAL PRACTICES RELATING TO GRANTING OF WASTE HAULING <br /> FRANCHISES <br /> County Attorney Alan S . Polackwich, Sr. recalled that at the November 2 , 2010 Board of <br /> County Commission meeting , George (Bill) and Ardra Rigby had addressed the Board with <br /> concerns about the County ' s procurement methods for waste hauling franchises . Pursuant to <br /> Board directive , he was returning with his analysis of two questions : <br /> ( 1 ) Whether County Code and the Special Act governing franchises requires an <br /> application in conjunction with a waste hauling franchise . <br /> (A) If so , has the County followed through ; and if not, what is the consequence? <br /> (2) Whether a competitive bid process is required for the curbside recyclable materials <br /> collections <br /> Attorney Polackwich reviewed the information in his January 12 , 2011 memorandum to <br /> present background history and his conclusion that the lack of applications does not invalidate <br /> the franchises for the current waste haulers , Republic Services d/b/a Treasure Coast Refuse , and <br /> Waste Management, Inc . He also conveyed that there is nothing requiring a competitive bid <br /> process for the collection of recyclables . Attorney Polackwich noted that his interpretations are <br /> based on a strict analysis of the law and not policy . He commented that the County might wish <br /> to employ a competitive bidding process for future waste hauling franchises . <br /> 24 <br /> January 18 , 2011 <br />
