2. COUNTY ATTORNEY & SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT MATTERS
2.A. 25-0709 Initial Assessment Resolution for Solid Waste Collection Services
Recommended action: Staff recommends that the Board approve the Initial Assessment Resolution for Solid
Waste Collection Services.
Attachments: Initial Assessment Resolution for Solid Waste Universal Collection
County Attorney Jennifer Shuler stated that during the Budget Workshop meeting, the
rates for solid waste collection and disposal were discussed. It was worth noting that
the special assessment for solid waste collection was new and had not yet been
formally established. Although discussions had taken place, this marked the beginning
of the process of creating the special assessment under the new Master Assessment
Resolution.
The initial assessment Resolution outlined the special assessment, which would fund
weekly garbage collection, yard waste disposal, and limited bulk collection in the
unincorporated areas. The estimated rate was $181.70 per property. Once this
Resolution was approved, it instructed the County Administrator to prepare the
assessment roll, schedule a final public hearing, and ensure that the public was notified
of that hearing. Most residents had received this notice through their trim notice.
A motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Chairman Flescher,
to approve staffs recommendation and Resolution 2025-030, relating to the
management and collection of solid waste in the Indian River County Solid
Waste Collection Municipal Service Benefit Unit, consisting of the unincorporated
area of the County; providing authority, purpose, definitions, and certain
legislative findings; creating the Indian River County Municipal Service Benefit
Unit for Solid Waste Collection Services; describing the method of assessing the
solid waste cost against residential property located within the Solid Waste
Collection MSBU; determining the solid waste cost and the initial solid waste
collection assessments; directing the preparation of an assessment roll;
authorizing a public hearing and directing the provision of notice thereof; and
providing an effective date. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 4- Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman Loar, Commissioner Adams, and Commissioner
Earman
Nay: 1- Commissioner Moss
