Bill Rigby, 8465 591h Avenue, asked for clarity on the definition of "addendum" and <br /> "pilot program" and asked that the definitions be stated in the minutes . <br /> Attorney Polackwich informed Mr. Rigby that an " addendum" is a subsequent <br /> amendment or supplementation of an existing agreement. He said the "pilot program" did not <br /> have legal meaning, but considered it to be a program that is going to be attempted for a short <br /> period of time to see what result is achieved, and based on the results that are achieved, a more <br /> permanent decision would follow. <br /> Administrator Baird explained that the purpose of a "pilot program" is to see if a program <br /> would be worth the County moving in a particular direction, or staying neutral , so it would not <br /> cost the taxpayers more money than necessary . He said the program allows staff to look at other <br /> methods that might save the County money due to the volatility of market prices . <br /> Bill Rigby voiced concerns over his application for the Enterprise Zone , and Capital <br /> being denied participation in the pilot program ; the legality of whether a pilot program was <br /> stated in the current contract ; incidents that occurred at Orchid Island and Grand Harbor ; past <br /> personal comments made by Commissioners ; and past denials to participate being a <br /> discriminatory, unfair action . He recounted Attorney Polackwich ' s comment that there is merit <br /> in what the Rigbys ' are saying, and that they would have to wait until 2015 to reapply (when the <br /> current franchise contract expires) . <br /> Chairman Wheeler asked for more specifics regarding the concerns that Mr . Rigby was <br /> referring to , and Mr . Rigby said he would provide that information to him privately . <br /> Bill Rigby voiced concerns over the Board giving Waste Management, Inc . and Treasure <br /> Coast Refuse a contract for 30 years without an application, but when asking for the same terms , <br /> he was refused and was informed that an application was required . <br /> DUAK 141 PG 767 <br /> December 13 , 2011 18 <br />
