Inc., of Florida (WMIF) provided an update on waste pickup

Commissioner O'Bryan sought and received confirmation that the
Solid Waste staff had access to the Sonrai System technology.
Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke reported an increase of
about 30% over previous tonnages for single stream recycling, and
an increase of 50% on subscription based services in the
unincorporated areas of the County.
Chairman Solari requested Director Burke to provide the Board
with quarterly reports over the next year.
Michael Kint, Chief Executive Officer, United Way of Indian River
County, thanked WMIF and County staff for steering this
endeavor, and thanked WMIF for the donation to United Way.
Director Burke discussed the holiday waste pickup schedule and
highlighted the results of the November 9, 2015 meeting with
WMIF's executive team.
Director Burke read a letter from WMIF asking that cart
exchanges not be required within the contract prescribed
timeframe of three days.
Discussion ensued regarding the total credits and contributions
WMIF was going to provide to the local community; and whether
the 3 -day cart exchange requirement should be waived.
Ms. McNeight said the intention of WMIF's letter was only for the
large initial cart exchange scheduled to take place in January. She
agreed that a three-month window to waive the 3 -day cart
exchange requirement would be adequate.
ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Flescher, SECONDED by
Commissioner O'Bryan, the Board unanimously approved
forgoing the administrative charges for October 2015 in exchange
for Waste Management Inc. of Florida: (1) providing one month
credit to all current and future residential customers; (2) providing
the Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD)
with a one month credit for the month of October 2015 for
residential recycling service; and (3) providing a $25,000 donation
to the local chapter of the United Way as part of its efforts of
demonstrating goodwill in the community. The Board waived the
3 -day cart exchange requirement for the first three months of
2016; and authorized the Chairman, County Administrator, and
the County Attorney to execute the documents necessary to
effectuate the Agreement.
