Title
AMENDING CHAPTER 19 - SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLABLES COLLECTION, PROCESSING AND DISPOSAL; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND: In November 2015, the City Commission approved Ordinance 2015-9 which repealed Chapter 19 and replaced it with the current version to conform to the newly approved Franchise Agreement for Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Services. Staff previously proposed an ordinance to provide for clarity and enforcement of Chapter 19. The item passed on First Reading at the June 21, 2017 Regular City Commission meeting but failed to pass on Second Reading at the July 5, 2017 Regular City Commission meeting. This proposed ordinance is similar to the previously proposed ordinance in that it revises sections 19-4, 19-5, 19-8, 19-10, and 19-11 but has removed the regulation on the timing of placement for yard waste that was proposed in the failed ordinance. At the August 30, 2017 Regular City Commission meeting, the City Commission came to a consensus on allowing bulk waste to be placed out no earlier than the day prior to a scheduled collection. At the September 27, 2017 Regular City Commission meeting, the Ordinance passed on First Reading.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve
FISCAL IMPACT: None
