Vice Mayor Holmes requested that the City Manager give his input on the above item.
Manager Baker said he had extensive meetings with both companies and they reached a
mutual agreement on how to address outstanding fees that is owed to the organization. In
addition, they did research on the new company, they have not been in Florida but they
have 40 years' experience in solid waste management business. The City Attorney
working on the language and it will guarantee that the city will have the remaining
balance on the franchise fees as well as the tipping fee issue with Miami -Dade County.
Vice Mayor Holmes asked the City Manager is he satisfied with agenda item 1?
Manager Baker replied, yes.
Commissioner Santiago said based on the comments made by the City Manager, the
company will be in compliance. Its fine with him as if the company is going to make sure
the city is clean.
With regards to the money that is owed to the city, Commissioner Kelley asked, has the
City Manager started negotiations?
Manager Baker replied, yes.
Commissioner Kelley asked, was the amount owed negotiated or something on a lesser
level?
Manager Baker said the actual amount that is owed, the county tipping fees is a fixed
amount so there's no desire to deal with that. With regards to the franchise fees, the only
negotiation piece is the amount of accounts that have been billed; therefore the amount
will reflect that.

count be negotiated?
Manager Baker said that was not taken into consideration during the negotiation.

should have kept a cost of how of how much was spent for the city to provide the hauling
services. He asked, who absorbs the cost?
Manager Baker said it comes from the solid waste fees line item.
Commissioner Kelley said that is a challenge to him.
Manager Baker said the City Attorney has language that he will be including in the
contract and he can give a better explanation.
Commissioner Kelley said that language should have been provided to the City
Commission.
Attorney Geller said the resolution before the City Commission should be amended to
say "this approval is subject to satisfactory terms being worked out in contractual
language to the satisfaction of the City Manager and City Attorney ".
He further said they have reached an agreement on the franchise fees. They are close to
having the tipping fees worked out.
Commissioner Kelley said if the language passes today they will not know if the
language is satisfactory. He would like to see something that address recovering some of
the money that was accumulated. If the Commission passes the reassignment, going
forward he wants language so this does not happen again.
Vice Mayor Holmes asked, how much it cost the city for staff to pick up trash and
garbage?
Manager Baker said generally one pick up can range between $200 -300 including the
tipping fees.
It was moved by Commissioner Kelley, seconded by Vice Mayor Holmes to amend the
resolution to include the following language: subject to approval and execution of final
contractual documents by the City Manager and the City Attorney. Specifically including
the issues of outstanding fees for city pickup of garbage and trash, and language
