Director Olson reiterated Attorney Polackwich ' s comments and explained that the current <br /> contract to Republic already handles all the C &D material . <br /> Discussion ensued regarding why this is being called a pilot program . <br /> Director Olson said this may not be an economically viable program, but the County is <br /> being placed into an obligation to attempt this process by the Florida Department of <br /> Environmental Protection (DEP) because it is in the current permit to segregate the C &D debris <br /> for recycling . <br /> Mr. Rigby questioned the 90 -day pilot program, as well as the process ; and stressed that <br /> he wants everyone to have an equal opportunity to work in Indian River County . <br /> Attorney Polackwich informed Mr. Rigby that today ' s situation is not the same as that <br /> which was previously addressed, in April , with the Enterprise Zone . He emphasized that the <br /> Solid Waste Disposal District is going through this pilot program to see if the system will work. <br /> He said he hopes this will be taken to a competitive selection process in the future , even though <br /> the contract gives the County the right to extend service . <br /> ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis , SECONDED by <br /> Commissioner Flescher, the Board unanimously allowed <br /> Republic Services to accomplish a 90 -day Pilot Project for <br /> Construction and Demolition (C &D) recycling with a <br /> $2 . 50 / ton fee for the recycling .
