A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COMMISSION OF THE
TOWN OF GULF STREAM, FLORIDA SUPPORTING THE
CONTINUATION OF THE PALM BEACH COUNTY SOLID
WASTE AUTHORITY IN ITS PRESENT FORM; PROVIDING
FOR AN ALTERNATIVE IF ANY CHANGE IS DEEMED
ADVISABLE.
WHEREAS, the Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority consists of four
(4) Municipal members, appointed by the Legislative Delegation, and three (3)
County Commissioners, and
WHEREAS, some County Commission members of the Authority have
consistently tried to thwart all constructive actions of the Solid Waste
Authority and are now seeking the elimination of the Authority for their own
purposes;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF
GULF STREAM, FLORIDA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The Town Commission of the Town of Gulf Stream hereby
endorses the Solid Waste Authority in its present form with four (4) Municipal
Representatives out of seven (7) members. If any change is to be made, the
Town Commission recommends that the County Commission membership be reduced to
one (1), with the other two (2) being citizens at large, named by the
Legislative Delegation.
Section 2: That the Town Commission hereby recommends that the State
Legislature mandate that the County Commission transfer all Solid Waste
activities and revenue sources to the Solid Waste Authority effective October 1,
1982; and thereby eliminate unnecessary duplication of efforts and planning.
Section 3: That the current Solid Waste Authority Special Act be amended
to provide the funding level of $150,000.00 per annum be adjusted for inflation
and further that this, and all previous amounts, be a grant rather than a loan,
since 70% of said funds come from Municipal fees and County landfill sites.
PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS qri,, day of QC,�1n� , 1981.
