ADDENDUM NO. 1

COUNTY MANAGER'S DEPARTMENTAL BUSINESS

RESOLUTIONS/PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT/ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES

FIRE & EMERGENCY SERVICES/COMMUNITY SERVICES

FACILITIES & CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS/PUBLIC SERVICES

Mr. Pete Wahl, County Manager, presented the request for approval of the revised resolution adopting fee schedules for Fiscal Year 1993/94 for the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, Division of Environmental Management, Department of Planning and Development Services, Fairgrounds Division of the Department of Facilities and Capital Improvements, Department of Community Services, and the Department of Public Services. He noted, in Exhibit "C", the inclusion of a fee for a fireworks permit and personnel costs for standby situations, to be effective as of June 1, 1993. He noted, in Exhibit "D", a ten (10%) percent fee increase to the revised fee proposal for the use of the Lake County Fairgrounds, and stated that said fees have not been adjusted in recent years. He further noted, in Exhibit "F", an increase in the Road Vacation Fee from $250.00 to $400.00, which is reflective of an increase in the cost.

Discussion occurred regarding the Planning and Development Services Fee Schedule, Exhibit "B", at which time Commr. Gerber requested clarification on the criteria set forth in determining the "Small" charge and the "Large" charge for a Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA), as illustrated on the Fee Comparison Worksheet. Mr. Greg Stubbs, One-Stop Permitting Center Coordinator/Director Development Regulations Services, responded that Florida Statutes sets forth criteria for determining a small Land Use Plan Amendment to be a residential site development, which is five acres or less in size, or a three acre or less commercial site. He stated that a small LUPA is treated similar to a rezoning petition; therefore, the fee has been reduced to match the rezoning fee that is being charged.

Discussion continued regarding Exhibit "B", the proposed fees for the Mining Compliance Inspection and Reinspection, and Wastewater Treatment Plant Inspection and Reinspection. Mr. Jim Barker, Director of Environmental Management, noted that $100.00 of the $400.00 Wastewater Treatment Plant Inspection fee covers the Environmental Management expense for analysis, pulling samples, and performing composite samplings of plants on a periodic basis.

Commr. Hanson brought up for discussion Conditional Use Permits (CUP) regarding fees for Caretaker's Residence, Home Occupations, and Greenhouses, noting that consideration should be given to the fee for Caretaker's Residence for those who may have the responsibility for caring of the infirmed.

On a motion by Commr. Hanson, seconded by Commr. Gerber and carried unanimously, the Board approved a proposed fee of $325.00 for the category of Caretaker's Residence, Home Occupations, and Mobile Home for the Infirmed; and a proposed fee of $550.00 for Greenhouses.

Mr. Wahl noted that a Preliminary Lot Split Review has been incorporated in the Division of Environmental Management Fee Schedule, Exhibit "A", at a proposed fee of $50.00.

At this time, Mr. Barker addressed questions regarding the Monitoring Plan Review, New Variance Request, Annual Agricultural Use Plan Review, Residential Site-Plan Review and Tree Removal/Replacement, as addressed in Exhibit "A".

Commr. Bailey expressed his concern with the proposed fee for Tree Removal Application Review for Individual Lots, in the amount of $115.00.

On a motion by Commr. Bailey, seconded by Commr. Hanson and carried unanimously, the Board approved a proposed fee, in the amount of $75.00, for Tree Removal Application Review (Individual Lots).

Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, noted that the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) require three (3) times the Permit Fee for After-the-Fact Tree Removal Application, and the proposed fee, in the amount of $345.00, will require a change. She further noted that said language in the LDRs can be amended, at a later time, to adjust said fee.

On a motion by Commr. Hanson, seconded by Commr. Bailey and carried unanimously, the Board approved a proposed fee for After-the-fact Tree Removal Application (3 x's Permit Fee), in the amount of $225.00.

Ms. Jean Kaminski, Executive Director, Home Builder's Association, appeared before the Board and expressed concern with the proposed fee increases and with adjustments being made in this great a proportion at one time, noting a percentage increase of fifty-five (55%) percent for Landscape Plan Review, an increase of sixty (60%) percent for Plan Revision, an increase of four hundred (400%) percent for New Variance Request, and the Residential Site Plan Review for less than ten (10) units is proposed at an increase of one-hundred and eighty-two (182%) percent.

Mr. Wahl stated that the Fire and Emergency Services Fee Schedule, Exhibit "C", addresses the proposed changes relating to HazMat recovery costs, making modifications to existing fees being charged, and adding those items that are being used but not being charged.

Mr. Doug Harrison, Fire Suppression Coordinator, appeared before the Board to address questions regarding Fireworks Permits.

Discussion occurred regarding the Animal Control Fee Schedule, at which time Commr. Hanson requested that the Animal Control Ordinance Study Committee review the cost of sterilization, as said cost is prohibitive to many people.

Ms. Frankie Thorp, Director of Animal Control, appeared before the Board to address questions regarding the Animal Control Fee Schedule.

Commr. Swartz requested that staff and the Animal Control Ordinance Study Committee address and evaluate ways to increase charges to pay for additional costs to the County as a result of loss of state funding that is no longer available.

Mr. Wahl stated that the Fairgrounds Fee Schedule, Exhibit "D", contains a ten (10%) percent across the board increase, noting that said fees have not been addressed over the last four or five years. He stated that Mr. Mike Anderson, Director, Facilities and Capital Improvements, completed a comparison of operations similar in size and type to Lake County's operation, and said comparison indicates that Lake County's fee schedule is lower than those in surrounding counties.

Mr. Jim Stivender, Director, Public Services, appeared before the Board to review the Public Services Fee Schedule, as illustrated in Exhibit "F". He stated that the fee schedule for Bid Specifications, in the amount of $20.00, does not cover the current expenses and should be changed to $50.00. He noted that a fee schedule, in the amount of $1,500 plus $1.00 per unit, for Municipal Service Benefit Unit (MSBU) is being proposed to cover the costs associate with up front large page advertising and is to be effective May 1, 1993.

Ms. Lustgarten noted the following changes to the resolution adopting Fee Schedules for Fiscal Year 1993-1994:

Page 2, Section 2. - insert The fee for the preliminary lot split review on Exhibit "A" shall be effective June 1, 1993".



Page 7, Section 7. - insert The fee for application for establishment of a Municipal Service Benefit Unit (MSBU) shall be effective June 1, 1993.



Discussion occurred regarding the effective dates of the Fee Schedules, at which time Ms. Lustgarten noted that effective date language will be included in the resolution to indicate that all new fees set forth in Exhibit A through Exhibit F shall be effective June 1, 1993, and all fees that are subject to an increase or adjustment shall be effective October 1, 1993.

Commr. Gerber made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Bailey to approve Resolution 1993-95 adopting fee schedules for Fiscal Year 1993-1994 for services provided by the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Planning and Development Services, Department of Fire and Emergency Services, Fairgrounds Division of the Department of Facilities and Capital Improvements, Department of Community Services, and Department of Public Services.

Commr. Cadwell suggested that the Board give consideration to charging a lesser fee for local governments, giving consideration to reciprocal relationships, at which time discussion occurred regarding said issue. Mr. Wahl stated that the County currently does not waive any fees to other local governments.

At this time, staff was directed to review and address said issue in regard to what has been done in the past and to give consideration to reciprocal relationships with local governments.

The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, which carried unanimously.

ACCOUNTS ALLOWED/CONTRACTS, LEASES & AGREEMENTS

SUITS AFFECTING THE COUNTY

Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Manager, presented the request for approval of the Settlement of Claim in the Thomas Neumayer case and stated that, in light of the uncertainty of litigation in a suit of this nature, and the potential cost of litigation in Federal Court, it is the recommendation of Mr. Jeff Mandel, Attorney, with the firm of Muller, Mintz, Kornreich, Caldwell, Casey Crosland & Bramnick, and herself, that the Board approve the proposed terms and settlement, in the amount of $25,000.00. She noted that there will be a General Release and Waiver Agreement signed by Mr. Neumayer prohibiting future claims or litigation against the County, the Commissioners, or County employees associated with said litigation.

Commr. Bailey made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Hanson to approve the Settlement of Claim in the Thomas Neumayer case, in the amount of $25,000.00, and to approve the following budget transfer:

Fund: General

Department: Office of Budget

From: Contingency $25,000

To: Operating Expenses $25,000

(Human Resources/

Labor Relations)

Transfer #: 93-0194



Commr. Swartz stated that this situation demonstrates the importance of all personnel actions being performed properly, and that this Settlement Agreement does not suggest that the County will not litigate future cases when personnel actions have been properly followed.

The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, which carried by a four (4) to one (1) vote.

Commr. Cadwell voted "No".

BUDGETS

Mr. Pete Wahl, County Manager, presented the request for authorization to waive bid requirements and issue purchase order in the purchase of a used Caterpillar Road Mixer, in the amount of $100,000, with a two year extended warranty on the power train, in the amount of $5,000.00. He stated that this request is subject to review and approval by the County Attorney in regard to the extended warranty.

On a motion by Commr. Cadwell, seconded by Commr. Bailey and carried, the Board approved authorization to waive bid requirements in the purchase of a used Caterpillar Road Mixer, as follows:

DIVISION DESCRIPTION OF ITEM AMOUNT

PUBLIC Permission to waive Bid requirements $105,000.00

SERVICES and issue a Purchase Order to Ringhaver

Equipment Company for one used 1992

Caterpillar Road Mixer, Model #SS-250

for $100,000; and authorize the Chair-

man to sign a two year extended warranty

on the power train for $5,000. This unit

will replace the County's current mixer,

a 1970 Rex Brothers, which has become

obsolete and replacement parts are

unavailable. Mike Brooks, Road Opera-

tions Director, has researched the cur-

rent 1993 market price (Attachment A)

and the actual purchase price in 1992

(Attachment B) for used Caterpillar Road

Mixer SS# 250 and has determined that

the special government price quoted by

Ringhaver is the best buy available,

considering the unit's age, total oper-

ating hours, preventative maintenance

and the actual cost of the unit.



The mixer Ringhaver has quoted is a 1992

model, with 375 hours and has been exa-

mined by Bob Runninger, Lake County

Supervisor, who states "it is in good

operating condition". This mixer has

been budgeted for the past two years,

but due to the limited market on used

mixers, Lake County has been unable to

find one in good operating condition

that is within budgeted funds. This

mixer will adequately handle Lake

County's Double Surface Treatment Pro-

gram for road projects, for the next 10-

15 years. The cost for a new Caterpillar

Road Mixer, Model #SS-250 would be over

$200,000.



The motion carried by a 4 - 0 vote.

Commr. Hanson was not present for the discussion or vote.

COUNTY ATTORNEY/PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT

Commr. Hanson brought up for discussion the approval by the Board to provide outside legal counsel in the case regarding Dr. Kenneth Acre before the Code Enforcement Board. She expressed her concern that this action sets a precedent of being in an aggressive mode for Lake County, and, at this point, there is question whether Dr. Acre is in violation of the code enforcement. She stated that it is her understanding that Dr. Acre is not in violation at this time, and he is not currently doing research or under contract to perform research. She stated that a determination will need to be made at what point Dr. Acre's operation becomes a research facility, which is clearly prohibited in the Wekiva River Basin, as opposed to a normal kennel. She stated that these issues need to be addressed before this case goes back before the Code Enforcement Board, keeping in mind that the Code Enforcement Board has ruled in favor of Dr. Acre.

Ms. Lustgarten stated that two violations were found based on review of the facility in question. She stated that a reinspection could be performed by staff in regard to the research facility issue, which would leave the issue of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a kennel. Ms. Lustgarten noted that the two code violations pending at this time are the research facility, and the requirement of a CUP for a kennel pursuant to the existing Land Development Regulations (LDRs).

Mr. Greg Stubbs, One-Stop Permitting Center Coordinator/ Director Development Regulations Services, appeared before the Board and stated that Dr. Acre informed staff approximately ninety (90) days ago that he was under contract to perform research.

Commr. Hanson stated that she has no objection to this case coming before the Code Enforcement Board, however, reiterated her concern with hiring outside legal counsel for a Code Enforcement issue and with the expense involved in hiring said counsel.

Ms. Lustgarten stated that, based on the fact that this issue has been an on-going situation for almost three (3) years, it would be appropriate to have outside legal counsel represent Lake County in presenting this case before the Code Enforcement Board. Commr. Hanson suggested that staff reinspect the facility in question to determine if there is currently a code violation, and if there is no longer a violation, the Board should address the other pertinent issues.

Discussion continued regarding the action previously taken by the Board to hire outside legal counsel, at which time the Board directed staff to proceed as they would normally proceed in dealing with the alleged violations before the Code Enforcement Board, and the County Attorney's office to engage outside legal counsel, as previously approved by the Board, to present this case before the Code Enforcement Board, if deemed necessary.



RECESS AND REASSEMBLY

At 11:00 a.m., the Chairman announced that the Board would recess for lunch and would reconvene at 2:00 p.m. for the afternoon session.

PUBLIC HEARINGS/TIMES CERTAIN

AMBULANCES-HOSPITAL DISTRICTS/REPORTS

Mr. Zebulon L. Osborne, President, and Mr. Bill Compton, Florida Regional Emergency Medical Services, appeared before the Board to present a review of services during the past year, and to present a proposal to fix the subsidy and base rate for two years, subject to Lake, Sumter, South Lake and Hernando Counties agreeing to regionalized utilization of spare equipment. It was noted that a booklet had been distributed prior to the presentation this date.

Mr. Compton stated that Florida Regional EMS operates and maintains seventeen ambulance stations located in four separate divisions, and each division is funded by distinct budgets. Each fiscal year, Florida Regional EMS allocates a portion of each subsidy for the purpose of capital equipment purchases, including vehicles, and medical and communications equipment.

Mr. Compton presented a map illustrating a breakdown of vehicles currently functioning in each budget area, noting that there are eight "24 Hour" dedicated vehicles, one "12 Hour" vehicle, and four spare vehicles in Lake County. He stated that, as a rural emergency medical service provider, Florida Regional EMS has met or exceeded the industry standards of having thirty (30%) percent spare ambulances available at all times. He stated that Lake County will use eighty-four (84%) percent of its capital funds for vehicles in Fiscal Year 1992-93, and based on four rechassis' per year, with an inflationary increase of eight (8%) percent each year, Lake Division's capital budget will eventually exceed allocated funds by approximately ten (10%) percent. Florida Regional EMS is proposing to consolidate the vehicle portion of the capital expenditures from each budget area. By doing so, Lake County would need one less rechasis each year, creating a cost reduction, which would allow Florida Regional EMS to establish a subsidy level that can be maintained for a concurrent five year period. Consolidation of vehicle capital would allow for a company-wide decrease of capital costs by 15%, over a five year period. He noted that, after the five year term, should Lake County choose not to renew the contract, the number of units that would be returned would equal the current number of units in service.

Mr. Compton reviewed a Rate Comparative and Subsidy Study, noting that Florida Regional EMS - Lake Division has the lowest base rate in the region, and is the only service in the region that does not charge in-county mileage.

Mr. Compton stated that Florida Regional EMS feels that, by consolidating non-dedicated units, a true regionalized system can be implemented in times of disaster or critical incident, allowing units to be assigned to specific aid requests, rather than specific budget areas, therefore, increasing the efficiency of those units and the system as a whole.

Mr. Compton stated that Florida Regional EMS is requesting authorization from the Board to utilize the spare non-dedicated vehicles in high stress areas throughout North Lake, South Lake, Sumter and Hernando Counties; to fix the base rate at the current rate, in the amount of $242.00, for Lake County; and not negotiate said rates for two years.

Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, noted that a minor adjustment may be required in the Agreement between Lake County and Florida Regional EMS.

Commr. Swartz stated that, as the total number of backup vehicles is reduced over the course of the next two years, the capital needs will be reduced, which is what Florida Regional is doing to offset any rate increase, and expressed his concern with the third year.

Mr. Compton noted that by fixing the base rate for two years, the County will fall behind the market that is comparative to other counties that are growing, and a rate increase will have to be considered. He stated that the third year will not present a problem; however, the fifth year will be a problem if adjustments are not made.

Mr. T. J. Townsend, a local resident, appeared before the Board and stated that the concept of centralizing the spare non-dedicated vehicles is more efficient than the present system.

Mr. Pete Wahl, County Manager, stated that staff has reviewed this issue with Florida Regional EMS and concurs that the concerns are in the fifth year and not the third year.

Mr. Osborne stated that one of Mr. Wahl's original thoughts was to build a cap into the third, fourth, and fifth year; however, Florida Regional EMS is hesitant to state that there will be a cap in the third or fourth year.

Ms. Barbara Lehman, Chief Deputy, Finance & Audit Department, stated that the Clerk's office, Florida Regional EMS, and Ernst & Young will be meeting to determine an appropriate reporting form containing the information that the Board is requesting for the Florida Regional Emergency Medical Services Year End Report.

On a motion by Commr. Cadwell, seconded by Commr. Bailey and carried unanimously, the Board approved an amendment to the Agreement between Lake County and Florida Regional Emergency Medical Services to fix the subsidy and base rate for two years; to regionalized utilization of spare equipment, contingent on Sumter and Hernando Counties agreeing; and authorization to allow the Clerk to finalize the reporting form.

COUNTY MANAGER'S CONSENT AGENDA (CONTINUED)

DEEDS/ROADS-COUNTY & STATE

Ms. Ava Kronz, Board of County Commissioners' Office Manager, noted that action previously taken on Tab 13, to accept a Quit Claim Deed on Ronald Moss, and Mei B. Moss, Umatilla Road (#5-8047), should have been a request for approval to execute said deed.

On a motion Commr. Cadwell, seconded by Commr. Hanson and carried unanimously, the Board approved to execute the Quit Claim Deed for Ronald Moss and Mei B. Moss, Umatilla Road (#5-8047).

PUBLIC HEARINGS/TIMES CERTAIN (CONTINUED)

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT/STATE AGENCIES

Mr. Pete Wahl, County Manager, stated that there are three issues before the Board this date for consideration as Comprehensive Plan Amendments for the second 1993 Calendar Year Amendment.

Mr. Mark Knight, Principal Planner, Planning and Development Services, appeared before the Board and stated that the City of Eustis is requesting changes in three future land uses around the City, as identified on the adopted Future Land Use Map. The three areas of concern are: the area around East Crooked Lake and West Crooked Lake; the area east of the City along S.R. 44 (northeast of Lake Joanna); and the area north of the City (west of S.R. 19).

Mr. Knight presented maps illustrating the areas of concern, and stated that the first area for consideration is the area of East Crooked Lake and West Crooked Lake, which was adopted as an Urban Future Land Use. The City of Eustis is requesting that the adopted Future Land Use be changed to reflect Suburban. He noted that nearly all of the unincorporated land is currently zoned R-1 (one dwelling unit per acre).

Mr. Alton Roane, Community Development Coordinator, City of Eustis, appeared before the Board to encouraged the Board to move forward with the issues before them this date, and stated that he would reserve his comments for a later time.

At this time, Commr. Swartz called for public comment with no one wishing to address this issue with the Board.

Commr. Gerber made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Cadwell to direct staff to prepare and advertise the necessary amendments to the Comprehensive Plan language and the Future Land Use Plan Map, changing the area of East Crooked Lake and West Crooked Lake from Urban to Suburban.

Commr. Cadwell stated that he will support the amendments for the City of Eustis; however, he feels that the Board should be very cautious as they go through the amendment process, understanding the Comprehensive Plan, before the Board makes too many changes.

The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, which carried unanimously.

Mr. Knight stated that the second area for consideration is the area east of the City of Eustis along S.R. 44 (Northeast of Lake Joanna), which was adopted as Suburban, and the City of Eustis is requesting that the Future Land Use be changed to reflect Urban Expansion.

On a motion by Commr. Hanson, seconded by Commr. Cadwell and carried unanimously, the Board directed staff to prepare and advertise the necessary amendments to the Comprehensive Plan language and the Future Land Use Plan Map changing the area east of the City of Eustis along S.R. 44 (Northeast of Lake Joanna) from Suburban to Urban Expansion.

Mr. Knight stated that the third area for consideration is the area north of the City of Eustis (west of S.R. 19), which was adopted as Urban Expansion and Rural, and the City of Eustis is requesting that the Future Land Use be changed to reflect Suburban (east one-half) and Rural (west one-half).

On a motion by Commr. Cadwell, seconded by Commr. Gerber and carried unanimously, the Board directed staff to prepare and advertise the necessary amendments to the Comprehensive Plan language and the Future Land Use Plan Map changing the area north of the City of Eustis (west of S.R. 19) from Urban Expansion and Rural to Suburban (east one-half) and Rural (west one-half).

Commr. Hanson stated that she would like to see as few Comprehensive Plan Amendments as possible, suggesting that the Board postpone action on the Land Use Controls in the Mt. Plymouth/Sorrento Urban Compact Node and High Density/Intensity Land Use Designations Along the U.S. 27 Corridor in South Lake County. She stated that the concerns relating to the Mt. Plymouth/Sorrento Urban Compact Node, should be readdressed in a planning point of view and not a political point of view at some point of time; however, there is no urgency to readdress said issues. She stated that her real concern was with the Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs), noting that everything at this level has been done that can be done to address the TDRs.

On a motion by Commr. Hanson, seconded by Commr. Bailey and carried unanimously, the Board approved to postpone the issue of Land Use Controls in the Mt. Plymouth/Sorrento Urban Compact Node, until such time that the Lake County Comprehensive Plan has been review by the Department of Community Affairs.

Discussion occurred regarding the High Density/Intensity Land Use Designations Along the U.S. 27 Corridor in South Lake County. Mr. Knight provided clarification to language regarding the development of a system of roadway corridors for south Lake County that would better allow the Department of Transportation to maintain a high level of service for U.S. 27. He stated that the system of roadway corridors would designate corridors that identify cross access and central access to U.S. 27.

Commr. Bailey stated that a market has not been established along the U.S. 27 Corridor, and it is premature to make proposed major changes regarding said area at this time.

Commr. Swartz stated that now is the time to address the issues relating to the U.S. 27 Corridor. If they are not addressed, the County will be faced with a clogged roadway network in the area, losing the ability to establish proposed alternate roads, with alternate access, resulting in densities where the County may not want them.

Commr. Cadwell stated that he supports addressing the issue of the U.S. 27 Corridor during the January amendment process.

On a motion by Commr. Bailey, seconded by Commr. Hanson and carried, the Board approved to postpone the issue relating to High Density/Intensity Land Use Designations along the U.S. 27 Corridor in South Lake County.

Commr. Gerber and Commr. Swartz voted "No".

Mr. Knight stated that the Board now has the authority to adopt a different Level of Service (LOS) from that which the Department of Transportation (DOT) has designated for the U.S. Highway 441 Corridor. He referred to the 1993 Legislature, which identifies changes to the Florida Statutes dealing with growth management, noting that Item 10, Page 31, with regard to facilities on the Florida Intrastate Highway System, states that local governments shall adopt the Level of Service standard established by the Department of Transportation by rule. For all other roads on the State Highway System, local governments shall establish an adequate Level of Service standard that need not be consistent with any Level of Service standard established by the Department of Transportation.

Discussion occurred regarding this issue, at which time, it was the decision of the Board to direct staff to review the issue of the Level of Service along the U.S. Highway 441 Corridor during the next amendment process.

Commr. Cadwell requested that staff meet with the City of Umatilla and the City of Lady Lake to determine their concerns regarding their joint planning areas.

RECESS & REASSEMBLY

At 3:15 p.m., the Chairman announced that the Board would recess for fifteen minutes, and reconvene at 3:30 p.m. for the Solid Waste Workshop.

CONTRACTS, LEASES & AGREEMENTS/SOLID WASTE/LANDFILLS

Commr. Swartz announced that the Board would be reviewing Franchise Solid Waste Collection Agreements between Lake County and South Lake Refuse Service, Inc., AAA/Industrial Waste Service, and Town & County Refuse, Inc. for solid waste collection and recycling in the unincorporated area of Lake County. He explained that the Board would be addressing only the proposed franchise agreements dealing with solid waste collection, and that a meeting has been scheduled on July 8, 1993, at which time the Board will address disposal, the cost of disposal, and how the disposal cost will be apportioned.

Mr. Ron Roche, Director, Solid Waste Management Division, appeared before the Board to present the request for approval and execution of franchise solid waste collection agreements with the three franchise haulers. A packet of information was distributed prior to the meeting containing a copy of the Exclusive Solid Waste Franchise Rate Negotiations Results, and the Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Services Contracts for each of the franchise haulers. At this time, Mr. Roche presented an overhead slide presentation.

Mr. Roche explained that solid waste collection in the unincorporated area of Lake County will consist of unlimited garbage and trash service, plus collection of bulk items up to three (3) cubic yards per week, at a rate of $6.75 per unit per month. Recycling will consist of once a week unlimited recycling service, at a rate of $1.50 per unit per month. The total hauler rate for collection and recycling is at a rate of $8.25 per unit per month. He further explained that a franchise fee for the purpose of handling administrative services is proposed at a tentative percentage of two (2%) percent, or $0.41 per unit per month. The total collection rate per unit per month, if hauler billed, will be in the amount of $8.66, and if County billed, will be in the amount of $7.91.

Mr. Roche stated that the Single Family Residential Curbside Service Collection Rate Comparison illustrates that the average current annual rate per single family resident, excluding recycling service, in the unincorporated area of Lake County is currently paying $166.00 per year. The new rate, including recycling, will be $99.00 per year or a forty (40%) percent decrease. He stated that eighty (80%) percent of single family residences in the unincorporated area of Lake County will receive a decrease.

Mr. Roche reviewed the commercial containerized service rate analysis overview for the unincorporated area of Lake County and stated that a total of 701 accounts were analyzed. It was determined that seventy-nine (79%) percent, or 548 accounts, would receive a rate decrease; twenty-two (22%) percent, or 153 accounts, would receive a rate increase; and fifty-two (52%) percent of the 153 accounts would have a rate increase of less than $10.00 per month. He further stated that eighty-nine (89%) percent of the 701 accounts analyzed would pay either less or within $10.00 per month of what they are currently paying.

Commr. Cadwell requested a follow up on the concerns expressed by the residents of Riley's Mobile Home Park regarding their solid waste collection. Mr. Roche responded that it has been determined that the residents of Riley's Park will receive a decrease of approximately 50% on their solid waste collection rate.

Ms. Diane Martin, The Resource Development Group, appeared before the Board to address questions regarding mobile home parks, specifically Hawthorne Mobile Home Park.

At this time, Commr. Swartz introduced members of the Solid Waste Study Committee that were present in the audience as follows: Mr. Glenn Reed, Mr. Phil McLendon, Ms. Rachael Smith, and Mr. Joe Woodnick.

Mr. Phil McLendon appeared before the Board and explained that the total collection rate includes a charge of $1.50 per unit per month for recycling, and, if said charge for recycling is subtracted from the total collection rate of those residents that are not currently recycling, statistics would indicate that more residents are receiving a decrease in their total collection rate. Ms. Norma Merriman, a resident of Hawthorne at Leesburg, appeared before the Board to discuss recycling in Hawthorne at Leesburg, noting that currently the residents are not paying for recycling services.

Mr. Roche stated that all residents that have curbside solid waste collection, as of October 1, 1993, will also have recycling service. He stated that the State will be phasing out grant money that Hawthorne at Leesburg is currently receiving for their recycling service under a pilot program. However, there is still a state mandate that requires Lake County to recycle thirty (30%) percent by 1994.

Ms. Aurabel Ward, a resident of Hawthorne at Leesburg, appeared before the Board and questioned if the recycling products are being marketed, and does the County receives the revenue from said products.

Mr. Roche responded that, at this time, the haulers are responsible for storing and marketing the recycling products, and they receive the revenue from said products.

Commr. Swartz stated that the contract provides for recycling of clear glass, aluminum, and newspapers, until such time that the County has the ability to develop a storage facility and provide the necessary bundling and crushing machines to bundle and crush the recyclables. At that time, the haulers will be asked to pick up ferrous metals and plastics, and any revenues that are derived from said materials will be received into the County solid waste system.

Ms. Ann Westphal, a resident of Hawthorne at Leesburg, appeared before the Board to discuss issues dealing with collection and disposal, and requested a fair and equitable method of paying for garbage and trash collection. She stated that garbage and trash collection is a necessity, and she does not understand the justification of charging the same monthly rate to all residents regardless of the amount of usage.

Commr. Swartz reiterated that the issue of collection was being discussed today, and the cost of disposal will be the subject of the meeting on June 8, 1993. The Board, at that time, will be making a determination as to how, and in what manner the Board will charge for the cost of disposal. He explained that communities, such as Hawthorne at Leesburg, will have the ability to negotiate a rate with their proposed hauler. He further explained that a waiver procedure will allow communities, that collectively negotiated or bid their collection services as of March 23, 1993, to continue to negotiate said services; however, there is a requirement that the franchise hauler for that district be given the ability to match the negotiated rate. At this time, Commr. Swartz referred to a letter, dated May 21, 1993, addressed to Hawthorne at Leesburg, which addresses many of the concerns expressed by Ms. Westphal. At this time, said letter was made available to those present.

Mr. R. H. Bayse, a local resident, appeared before the Board to discuss the incentive for one hauler, who does not have the franchise in an area, to bid lower when the franchise company has the opportunity to match the fee.

Commr. Swartz provided a summary of differences between the agreements before the Board this date and noted that the bond requirement is lower for one of the haulers, due to a smaller share of the market; the continuation of once a week collection service in the northeast franchise district at a reduced rate, with the ability for the Board to require the same level of service at a later time; and that the commercial rates that are indicated vary in the three areas.

Ms. Lustgarten noted that the contracts before the Board are to be effective October 1, 1993.

On a motion by Commr. Cadwell, seconded by Commr. Gerber and carried unanimously, the Board approved the request for approval and execution of the franchise Solid Waste Collection Services Contract, and Exhibits, between Lake County and AAA/Industrial Waste Service, to be effective October 1, 1993.

On a motion by Commr. Cadwell, seconded by Commr. Hanson and carried unanimously, the Board approved the request for approval and execution of the franchise Solid Waste Collection Services Contract, and Exhibits, between Lake County and South Lake Refuse Service, to be effective October 1, 1993.

On a motion by Commr. Hanson, seconded by Commr. Gerber and carried unanimously, the Board approved the request for approval and execution of the franchise Solid Waste Collection Services Contract, and Exhibits, between Lake County and Town & Country Refuse Service, Inc., to be effective October 1, 1993.

At this time, Commr. Bailey encouraged the residents of Hawthorne at Leesburg to send a representative to the meeting on June 8, 1993. He noted that the solid waste collection program process has not been an easy decision for the Board.



There being no further business to be brought to the attention of the Board, the meeting adjourned at 4:15 p.m.
