[6. Ordinance 7-22, First Reading, Approving an exclusive eight plus (8+) year Exclusive Franchise Agreement with Waste Management Inc. of Florida (Waste Management) pertaining to request for proposals (RFP), EPW 2022-25, Collection of Solid Waste and Recyclable Materials. (Second Reading 7/19/22)]

FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ORDINANCE 7-22, FIRST READING, DEALING WITH A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT.

I GUESS I'LL TURN THIS OVER TO STAFF.

>> GOOD EVENING.

FOR THE RECORD, TOMAS FERNANDEZ, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, PARKS AND PUBLIC WORKS.

I WILL BE INTRODUCING THE WHICH YOU MENTIONED IT WAS AN ORDINANCE.

I'LL BE INTRODUCING THE COLLECTION OF SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLED MATERIALS, WHICH WAS AN RFP THAT WAS ADVERTISED EARLIER THIS YEAR.

THERE WAS A LARGE SELECTION COMMITTEE.

WELL, FIVE PERSONNEL THAT WE HAD FOR A SELECTION COMMITTEE.

BUT IT MAKES MOST SENSE FOR ME TO PROVIDE THIS PRESENTATION ITSELF BECAUSE I'M THE ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE CONTRACT AND WE DO THE REGULAR ADMINISTRATION FOR THE CONTRACT ITSELF THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE ACTUAL PROJECT.

TONIGHT WE'LL BE GOING THROUGH THE CURRENT SERVICES, THE SELECTION PROCESS, AS WELL AS THE SELECTION PROCESS RESULTS AND COLLECTION METHOD OPTIONS, AS WELL AS THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION BASED ON WHAT WAS FOUND AS A PART OF THE SELECTION COMMITTEE ITSELF.

THE CURRENT SERVICES ARE RESIDENTIAL AS WELL AS COMMERCIAL SERVICES, WHICH ARE PROVIDED UNDER AN EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT.

AND THAT IS WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT CURRENTLY? TO BE MORE CORRECT, IT'S A WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. IN FLORIDA.

THE CURRENT RATE IS $22 PER MONTH PER FOR SINGLE-FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY RESIDENCES.

THE CURRENT SERVICES OR TWO TIMES PER WEEK FOR SOLID WASTE.

VEGETATIVE WASTE IS TWO TIMES PER WEEK WITH THE FIRST PICK-UP MAX OF EIGHT CUBIC YARDS.

HOWEVER, TWO DAYS LATER, THE REMAINDER OF THAT AMOUNT HAS TO BE PICKED UP.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING BEYOND A CUBIC YARDS ITSELF.

ALSO, RECYCLING IS PICKED UP ONE TIME PER WEEK AND THEN BULK WASTE IS PICKED UP ONE TIME PER WEEK.

ALL AREAS OF THE TOWN EXCEPT FOR CHARGING NEIGHBORHOODS WHICH ARE PICKED UP TWO TIMES PER WEEK THROUGHOUT THE TOWN.

>> I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY FOR THE RECORD THAT THE EIGHT CUBIC YARD LIMIT PICKUP, IF NOT PICKED UP ON PICKUP DAY AND THE NEXT DAY? CORRECT?

>> IT'S IT'S WITHIN TWO DAYS THEN THOSE REMAINING AMOUNT SO THERE'S NOT A LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT THAT CAN BE PLACED OUT.

>> THE INTENTION WAS I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE SERVICE HAD BEEN BECAUSE I'M MOST FAMILIAR WITH A LOT OF THESE PROVISIONS.

KRISTA CAME UP AS COUNCIL POLICY RATE, THAT IF THERE WAS SOME LARGE PROBLEMS, WE DIDN'T WANT THAT TO HOLD UP A PICKUP OF BY-AND-LARGE EVERYBODY.

BUT CONTRACT, CORN CONTRACT READS THAT THE DAY OF THE PILE IS TAGGED, WHICH IS THE COLLECTION DAY, IS DAY ONE.

IT WOULD THEN BE PICKED UP ON DAY TWO BECAUSE IF IT'S NOT THAT, THEN THAT MEANS THEY DON'T PICK IT UP UNTIL THE NEXT COLLECTION DAYS SINCE IT'S THREE DAYS AWAY.

ANYWAY, I JUST WANTED TO ENSURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CURRENT CONTRACT WAS BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE THAT IN THE NEW CONTRACTING.

AGAIN, I'M EMPHASIZING WHY IT MADE SENSE TO ACCEPT THE BIGGER PILES, BE LEFT BEHIND SO THEY CAN COME BACK AND GET IT, BUT THAT HAS TO BE THE NEXT DAY AND I'M SEEING NODS.

THEY UNDERSTAND THAT TO BE THE VALID REQUIREMENT. THANK YOU.

>> CORRECT. THE CURRENT CONTRACT DOES REQUIRE FOR THAT.

I'LL DISCUSS A LITTLE LATER WHAT'S CURRENTLY IN THE EXISTING ARE IN THE PROPOSED CURRENT CONTRACT AND THEN GET A LITTLE MORE ELABORATION INTO THAT AS WELL.

[00:25:10]

AS FAR AS THE SELECTION PROCESS AND THE WAY ITEMS WENT AND TOOK PLACE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SELECTION PROCESS ITSELF.

ON APRIL 1ST, WE ADVERTISE THE RFP AND IT WAS PLACED ON DEMAND STAR AND AS WELL AS PUT INTO THE PAPER.

ON APRIL 8TH, THE PRE PROPOSAL MEETING TOOK PLACE.

WE HAD 42 WAYS TOLERANCE AND ATTENDANCE, AND THERE WAS ALSO ONE FIRM WHO DID NOT ATTEND THAT.

HOWEVER, THEY DID FOLLOW UP WITH QUESTIONS BECAUSE THEY HAD SHOWN AN INTEREST IN THE ACTUAL CONTRACT ITSELF.

ON MAY 20TH, WE HAD THREE RFP RESPONSES WHICH WERE FROM FCC ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES OF FLORIDA, AS WELL AS WASTE PRO OF FLORIDA AND WASTE MANAGEMENT OF INCOME FLORIDA.

EACH OF THESE EACH OF THE PROPOSERS PROVIDED AN RFP RESPONSE, AND AS A PART OF THAT, THEY PROVIDED A TECHNICAL PROPOSAL AS WELL AS A PRICE PROPOSAL.

JUST FOR REFERENCE, THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL GAVE INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS AND VARIOUS SECTIONS WITHIN THE RFP WHICH DEALT WITH EXPERIENCE.

THEY PLAN TO IMPLEMENT THEIR PROJECTS, ARE REALLY IMPLEMENT THE THEIR RESPONSE AND THEN HOW THEY PICK UP ON DAILY OPERATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE CONTRACT ITSELF.

THEN ALSO FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

BUT THOSE TECHNICAL PROPOSALS WHICH WERE OPENED ON THE 20TH, THOSE WERE IMMEDIATELY DISSEMINATED TO THE SELECTION COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW IN ADVANCE OF OUR SELECTION COMMITTEE MEETINGS.

THE PRICE PROPOSAL PORTION DID REMAIN SEALED UNTIL WE HAD ALREADY THE SELECTION COMMITTEE THEMSELVES HAD ALREADY REVIEWED AND COMPOSE ALL OF OUR TECHNICAL SCORES FOR THE SELECTION PROCESS.

THEN ON JUNE 1ST, THERE WERE PRESENTATIONS PROVIDED BY ALL OF THE PROPOSERS, GAVE THE PROPOSERS THE ABILITY TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THEIR COMPANY, PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE RELEVANT INFORMATION RELATED TO THE RFP ITSELF.

AS AN ADDITION, IT GAVE THE SELECTION COMMITTEE ABILITY TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RFP OR IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT WE FELT WAS NOT ADDRESSED WITHIN THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL.

THEN ON JUNE 3RD, THE SELECTION COMMITTEE MET.

WE COMPILED OUR SCORES AND WE COMPOSE A TECHNICAL SCORE WHICH WAS PROVIDED FOR EACH OF THE COMPOSERS THEMSELVES.

LATER THAT DAY, AFTER WE HAD ALREADY COMPILED OUR TECHNICAL SCORES AS THE SELECTION COMMITTEE HAD ALREADY DONE THAT.

THEN LATER THAT DAY WE OPENED THE PRICE PROPOSALS AND WE USE THAT TO COME UP WITH.

IT'S LISTED HERE AS AN ADJUSTED SCORE, BUT IF YOU WERE LOOKING IN THE RFP, IT WOULD BE REFERRED TO AS AN ADJUSTED COST.

BUT ESSENTIALLY IT USED THE EXPECTED COSTS ARE ESTIMATED COSTS FOR A RESIDENT WITH THE RESIDENTIAL AS WELL AS THE COMMERCIAL RATE.

USE THAT TO COME UP WITH OUR SELECTION FOR THE INTENDED THE INTENDED RECOMMENDATION.

AS A PART OF THE ADJUSTED SCORE, IT'S SHOWN AS THE ACTUAL WAY THINGS THAT RANKED OUT THERE.

WASTE MANAGEMENT OF FLORIDA WAS THE LOWEST ADJUSTED COST, FOLLOWED BY FCC ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES OF FLORIDA, THEN FOLLOWED BY WASTES PRO OF FLORIDA.

FOR THE COLLECTION METHOD OPTIONS, ESSENTIALLY, THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE AND FREQUENCY WILL BE PROVIDED.

I'LL DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE VEGETATIVE WASTE IN A MOMENT.

BUT ESSENTIALLY THE SOLID WASTE AND VEGETATIVE WASTE WILL STILL BE PICKED UP TWO TIMES PER WEEK.

CURRENT CONTRACT IT DOES NOT HAVE A LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT OF VEGETATIVE WASTE THAT A CUSTOMER CAN PLACE AT THE CURB.

HOWEVER, THE CURRENT CONTRACT, OR EXCUSE ME, THE PROPOSED CONTRACT DOES HAVE A LIMIT FOR THE AMOUNT THAT CAN BE PICKED UP ON ANY GIVEN DAY, IS EIGHT CUBIC YARDS, BUT IT IS CURRENTLY SET UP WHERE IT WOULD THE FOLLOWING PICKUP DAY WOULD BE ANOTHER EIGHT CUBIC YARDS AND SO ON UNTIL THE ENTIRE WASTE PILE WOULD BE PICKED UP.

[00:30:03]

SO THAT'S HOW IT IS CURRENTLY WRITTEN, THE PROPOSED CONTRACT ITSELF.

THEN AS WELL, RECYCLING IS CONTINUED ON AS ONETIME PER WEEK, BULK WASTE ONE TIME PER WEEK, AND THEN TWO TIMES PER WEEK IN THE CHARTER NEIGHBORHOODS.

[NOISE] ALSO IT WOULD CONTINUE ON AS BEING ROUGHLY THE WAY THE CURRENT COMMERCIAL SERVICES ARE MAINTAINED AND PICKED UP.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT UNDER THE PROPOSED CONTRACT, THE SPECIAL SERVICES WHICH ARE CURRENTLY UNDER THE EXISTING CONTRACT WOULD NOT BE CHANGED.

THEY'RE BASICALLY THE SAME AS THEY WOULD BE BEFORE, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE WERE ANY RESIDENTS WHO WERE MEDICALLY UNABLE TO BRING ANY SOLID WASTES TO THE CURB OR ANY VEGETATIVE WASTE OR ANY RECYCLED MATERIALS, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SUBMIT THAT INFORMATION TO WASTE MANAGEMENT IN ORDER TO GET EXEMPTION, NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING ADDITIONAL FOR THOSE SERVICES TO BE ROLLED OUT TO THE CURB AND DISPOSED OFF.

THERE'S ALSO FOR THE ABILITY OF BACKDOOR SERVICE FOR ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO NEGOTIATE THOSE RATES WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT OR WHATEVER THE HAULER WOULD BE, AND THEN ALSO ANY SPECIAL SERVICES FOR EQUIPMENT OR ANY IMPAIRED ACCESSIBILITY.

GOING INTO THE TWO OPTIONS WHICH WERE WRITTEN INTO THE RFP, THERE WERE TWO OPTIONS THAT COULD BE PROVIDED.

JUST IN GENERAL, THEY WERE PERFORMED AS A CART SERVICE, WHICH WAS A SEMI-AUTOMATED AS WELL AS AN AUTOMATED COLLECTION METHOD.

SEMI-AUTOMATED YOU WOULD LIKELY SEE IN THE AREAS WHERE, SUCH AS, LET'S SAY [INAUDIBLE] OR SMALLER TRUCKS THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GET INTO SOME OF THE SMALLER ALLEYS, SO THEY WOULD STILL NEED TO BRING AN ADDITIONAL PERSON ON THE BACK OF THE TRUCK TO RIDE ALONG, AND THEN THEY WOULD ROLL IT OVER, PUT IT ON THE TAPER, AND DUMP IT INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.

THAT'S HOW YOU WOULD GENERALLY SEE A SEMI-AUTOMATED.

FOR AUTOMATED ITSELF, THAT WOULD GENERALLY BE IF THE CART ITSELF RUN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND YOU HAVE A DRIVER THAT COMES PAST, HITS A LEVER, GRABS IT, AND DUMPS IT INTO THE TRUCK WITHOUT AN ADDITIONAL PERSON ON THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.

THEN THE OTHER OPTION WAS CANS, WHICH WAS THE MANUAL COLLECTION METHOD, WHICH IS CURRENTLY THE METHOD WHICH IS USED FOR THE EXISTING CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE IN THE TOWN.

GOING INTO THE OPTIONS WHICH, AND BREAKING THEM DOWN COST-WISE FOR WHAT WAS PROVIDED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT ITSELF WAS $21.95 PER MONTH FOR RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY, AS WELL AS SINGLE-FAMILY.

A COUPLE OF ITEMS TO NOTE AS A PART OF THAT METHOD WOULD BE IS THAT USING A CART IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S THE TREND AND THE SOLID WASTE INDUSTRY WITHIN FLORIDA AND MOVING TOWARDS SOMEWHAT A SEMI OR AT LEAST AUTOMATED SERVICE.

IT ALSO PROVIDES A LITTLE MORE CLEANER AND CONSISTENT LOOK, SO YOU LOOK DOWN THE STREET, YOU DON'T SEE DIFFERENT BAGS LAYING ALL OVER THE PLACE, YOU HAVE A CONSISTENT CART ALL THE WAY DOWN THE STREET AND YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS A LITTLE MORE UNIFORM.

HOWEVER, ON THE OTHER SIDE, SWITCHING THE CARTS WOULD REQUIRE A LITTLE BIT OF AN EDUCATION PROCESS OF AS TO THE PROPER USE OF THE CART, ENSURING THAT THE GARBAGE WAS PLACED INSIDE THE CART.

THERE WOULD ALSO BE EDUCATION PROCESS FOR ENSURING THAT THE CART WAS PLACED IN THE PROPER LOCATION.

PROPER LOCATION FOR THIS CONTRACT IS LISTED AT CURBSIDE, WHICH IS WITHIN THREE FEET OF THE CURVE OR THE ROAD.

FOR THE CANS, ESSENTIALLY THAT WOULD BE $25 PER MONTH IF IT WERE THE CHOSEN METHOD, BUT THAT WOULD BE $25 PER SINGLE-FAMILY AS WELL AS MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENCE.

IT WAS NOTED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHER HOLLERS THAT THIS METHOD DOES PROVIDE WORKFORCE CHALLENGES THAT REQUIRES A LITTLE MORE PERSONNEL AS A PART OF PICKING UP THE GARBAGE WITHIN THE TOWN AND ANY OTHER LOCATIONS.

WASTE MANAGEMENT THEMSELVES DID SAY THAT THIS MAY CAUSE SOME ISSUES IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO FIND PERSONNEL THAT ARE INTERESTED IN PERFORMING THAT MANUAL LABOR.

AS I HAD MENTIONED EARLIER WITH THE CARTS, USING THE CANS IT'S THE OPPOSITE.

IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY NEED TO BE PLACED INSIDE THE

[00:35:04]

CAN ITSELF IF THE CAN OPTION WERE CHOSEN.

>> I'M TRYING TO BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING THAT WE ASK QUESTIONS AS WE GO ALONG.

BUT STILL ON THE TOPIC OF THE SEMI-AUTOMATED COLLECTION METHOD, SEEMS LIKE I'M OBSERVING SOME OF THAT HAPPENING NOW ALREADY, WHICH IS FINE.

IS THAT THE CASE WHAT I HAVE OBSERVED THAT ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS IN FACT A TIPPER WHERE A PERSON WALKS AND OVER? I KNOW IT'S NOT THE FULL PERFECT SITUATION, BUT THAT IS A SEMI-AUTOMATED, I GUESS I'M SEEING A HEAD NOD.

>> THAT WOULD BE A SEMI-AUTOMATED SITUATION.

THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE A CAN ALREADY THAT HAS A BAR OR HAS A LOCATION WHERE THE TIPPER WHICH IS ON THE BACK OF THE TRUCK, THEY COULD ROLL IT OVER TO THE TRUCK IN THE REAR AND IT COULD PICK IT UP AT THAT LOCATION AND IT WOULD DUMP IT INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK ITSELF.

THAT WOULD BE SEMI-AUTOMATED, CORRECT.

>>THEN I'M HOPEFUL FOR THAT, THAT'S GREAT.

BUT THEN THE QUESTION IS JUST MAKE SURE WHAT THIS PROPOSAL IS.

THE [INAUDIBLE] IS THAT IT REALLY BE FULLY AUTOMATED WHERE IT CAN BE.

I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S TAKEN CARTS THAT ARE SMALLER CARTS AS AN EXAMPLE.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE LIMITATION OF THE TRUE AUTOMATED ONE, WE SAW IN HERE THAT THE CONTRACT PROVIDES FOR 64 GALLON AND A 96 GALLON AS AN EXAMPLE.

BUT I KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE A 32 GALLON TOTAL TYPE, WHICH SEEMS LIKE IT HAS THE BAR.

DOES THAT SIZE WORK OR NOT? I SAY THAT BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S GOT DIFFERENT UNIQUE SITUATIONS, AND SOME PEOPLE THAT IS A MORE IDEAL SIZE.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S ACCOMMODATED MORE OR NOT.

MAYBE WASTE MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, AND THAT'S FINE IF YOU WANT TO TABLE AT.

>> CURRENTLY AS IT'S PROPOSES THAT ALL RESIDENTS WOULD GET A 64 GALLON, AND ACTUALLY WASTE MANAGEMENT BROUGHT A 64 GALLON AS WELL AS A 96 GALLONS SO THEY CAN BE VIEWED FOR ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM.

CURRENTLY THEY'RE NOT WRITTEN UP AS BEING 32 GALLON.

THAT WOULD BE IF THERE'S SOMETHING WHERE SOMEONE WANTED TO GET DIFFERENT SIZE, THAT WOULD LIKELY BE A QUESTION THAT WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE WASTE MANAGEMENT ANSWER THAT.

IT'S NOT CURRENTLY WRITTEN INTO OUR [OVERLAPPING]

>> NO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. YOU'RE LOOKING AT WHAT'S IN THERE. I'M LOOKING AT IT.

THIS IS THE FIRST READING AND WE WANT TO TALK THROUGH IT BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND IF IT'S THERE WILL BE TWO GALLON COULD BE ACCOMMODATED.

THERE'S A LOT OF HOME PROPERTIES IN THE TOWN THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE THE CAN, SO THEREIN IF A SMALLER CAN CAN BE ACCOMMODATED BY THE AUTOMATIC EQUIPMENT.

I THINK WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THAT AND GET THAT RIGHT.

I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING, FOR EXAMPLE, I HAPPEN TO HAVE A 32 GALLON BECAUSE I PUT IT IN MY GARAGE.

ON THE OUTSIDE I HAVE THE BIGGER CANS.

BUT YOU CAN'T GET A BIGGER CAN BY A CAR IN THE GARAGE.

MAYBE EVERYBODY'S GOT TO HAVE UNIQUE SITUATIONS.

WHAT I ASK LATER WASTE MANAGEMENT TO WEIGH IN ON WHETHER THERE IS OR IS NOT A VIABLE OPTION.

>> JUST SPEAKING TO THE EITHER OPTION, THOSE ARE WHETHER IT GOES CARTS OR CANS, THE CURRENT FACILITY, THE WASTE MANAGEMENT WOULD BE USING THEIR CURRENT FACILITY WHICH IS IN I BELIEVE IT'S UP IN MARTIN COUNTY.

IF THERE WERE ANY PERSONNEL WHO WANTED TO HAVE THEIR CARTS NOT FORGO THE DELIVERY FEE FOR A CART ITSELF, THEY WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO UP TO THE LOCATION AND ACTUALLY PICK UP THE CART ITSELF, OR THEY CAN HAVE IT DELIVERED, WHICH WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $25 FEE IF ANYBODY WANTED AN ADDITIONAL CAN ITSELF, OR IF THEY AFTER THE FACT WANTED TO SWITCH OUT TO GET A LARGER SIZE.

I GUESS AS WELL SO I DON'T MISS ANYTHING FOR THE LEVEL OF SERVICE JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE, WASTE MANAGEMENT DOES CURRENTLY PROVIDE SERVICES AT 10 TOWN DESIGNATED EVENTS.

THOSE ARE EVENTS DESIGNATED BY THE TOWN IN WHICH WE HAVE REQUESTED FOR THEIR SERVICES.

AS FAR AS MISCOLLECTIONS CURRENTLY, WE TAKE THOSE COMPLAINTS, AS WELL AS WASTE MANAGEMENT ALSO GETS THOSE COMPLAINTS, AND ON A MONTHLY BASIS THEY SEND THAT INFORMATION AND WE ALSO TAKE KEEP TRACK OF IT WITHIN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ITSELF.

[00:40:02]

THE CURRENT PROPOSED CONTRACT IS GOING TO PROVIDE FOR INTEGRATION BETWEEN THE TOWN'S OUTWARD FACING CUSTOMER SERVICE SYSTEM, AND IT WILL GIVE US THE ABILITY TO VIEW IN REAL TIME THE AMOUNT OF MISCOLLECTIONS.

IF WE ALSO WILL LIKELY KEEP THE SAME TALLY ON OUR END, IF WE GET ANY MISCOLLECTIONS THAT WILL ALSO GIVE THE ABILITY FOR RESIDENTS TO SIGN IN AND MAKE ANY COMPLAINTS THROUGH MISCOLLECTIONS ABOUT ANY ISSUES THAT THEY ENCOUNTER OVER THE COURSE OF THE CONTRACT.

AS FAR AS VEHICLES THEMSELVES, IF THERE WERE ANY CONCERN ABOUT VEHICLES IN THE AMOUNT OF PERSONNEL THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN IN A YEARLY REPORT, AND IF WE EVER HAVE TO EVER DOUBT ANY OF THOSE ITEMS, WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO AND AUDIT THOSE ITEMS WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT.

JUST SO YOU CAN SEE, I GUESS IT WAS SOMEWHAT A SIDE BY SIDE, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CARTS VERSUS CANS AND WHAT THE OVERALL COST WOULD BE FOR THE SINGLE AS WELL AS MULTI-FAMILY HOMES.

THOSE COSTS ARE LISTED THERE.

YOU'LL NOTE, LOOKING AT THIS, WASTE PRO WAS THE ONLY FIRM THAT PROVIDED A DIFFERENT COST FOR THE CONTAINERIZED MULTI-FAMILY COLLECTION AS OPPOSED TO BASICALLY ALL THE OTHER FIRMS THAT PROVIDED THE SAME COST FOR EACH, THE MULTI-FAMILY AS WELL AS THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE WASTE MANAGEMENT BE AWARDED THE TOWN'S FRANCHISE AGREEMENT FOR THE SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SERVICES.

GIVEN THE EFFICIENCIES AND COSTS FOR THE AUTOMATED AND [NOISE] SEMI-AUTOMATED COLLECTION OF USING CARTS, STAFF RECOMMENDS A METHOD USING CARTS WHICH WOULD BE AT A RATE OF 21.95 PER MONTH FOR RESIDENTIAL SERVICE.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE OVERALL COSTS OF WHAT THAT WOULD ROUGHLY BE OVER THE COURSE OF THE CONTRACT LIFE ITSELF, THAT'S AN ESTIMATED COST FOR WHAT IT WOULD BE FOR CARTS.

JUST FOR YOUR AWARENESS THE INITIAL TERM IF WE WERE TO ENTER INTO THIS CONTRACT WOULD BE EIGHT YEARS AND SEVEN MONTHS WHICH WOULD BEGIN ON MARCH 1ST, 2023 AND WOULD END ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, OF 2031.

THE CONTRACT WOULD ALLOW FOR ONE ADDITIONAL RENEWAL OF AN ADDITIONAL FIVE YEARS.

WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION.

I'M GOING TO INVITE AT THIS TIME DAVID D WHO IS THE TOWN'S OUTSIDE COUNSEL WHICH WAS ALSO THE CONSULTANT FOR REALLY THIS ENTIRE PROCESS.

HE HAS BEEN VERY VALUABLE THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS.

I'LL LET HIM PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT HE FEELS THAT I MAY HAVE MISSED AND THEN ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND ALSO GUESS ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

>> GOOD EVENING. AS YOU HEARD, MY NAME IS DAVID D. I'M AN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW ATTORNEY, I'VE WORKED THROUGHOUT FLORIDA FOR THE LAST 42 YEARS.

I HAVE SPENT THE BULK OF MY PRACTICE WORKING ON SOLID WASTE ISSUES.

I'VE REPRESENTED MOST OF THE COUNTIES ON THE EAST COAST, FLORIDA, A LOT OF BIG CITIES AS WELL.

CURRENTLY WORK WITH SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY HERE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY.

LAST YEAR I HELPED MARTIN COUNTY IN THE VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON WITH THEIR RFPS AND COLLECTION CONTRACTS.

I'M DOING FOUR MORE COMMUNITIES RIGHT NOW INCLUDING THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE.

I'VE GOT SOME EXPERIENCE IN THIS AREA, I GUESS FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THIS PROCUREMENT PROCESS HAS BEEN A HUGE SUCCESS BECAUSE WE'VE DONE IT IN RECORD TIME.

I WAS BROUGHT ON IN LATE JANUARY.

WE STARTED WORKING ON THIS MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY.

GOT IT OUT ON THE STREET ON APRIL 1ST, SO SIX WEEKS, NORMALLY IT MIGHT TAKE 4-6 MONTHS TO GET THE DOCUMENT OUT ON THE STREET.

THE CREDIT FOR THAT GOES TO TOMAS FERNANDEZ, YOUR CITY MANAGER MR. KITZEROW, NIKKI CARPENTINO, KAREN MORETTA, SCOTT REYNOLDS.

THEY ALL WERE VERY VALUABLE IN HELPING TO CHIP IN AND MAKE SURE THIS THING GOT THE ATTENTION THAT IT NEEDED SO THAT WE COULD DO IT QUICKLY.

WE NEED TO DO IT QUICKLY BECAUSE WHOEVER YOU SELECT TO PROVIDE YOUR SERVICES IS GOING TO NEED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME TO OBTAIN THE TRUCKS AND THE PERSONNEL TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE THAT YOU WANT.

[00:45:01]

THE BEAUTY OF THIS INSTANCE IS, IF YOU SELECT WASTE MANAGEMENT THE STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED, THEY'VE GOT PERSONNEL ALREADY, THEY'VE GOT TRUCKS, MAYBE NOT ALL OF THE NEW TRUCKS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE BUT THEY'RE AT LEAST ON THE GROUND HERE IN THE COMMUNITY PROVIDING SERVICE.

THAT TAKES A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF RISK OUT OF THE EQUATION OF BRINGING IN A NEW COMPANY.

I WAS VERY PLEASED DURING THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS THAT WE HAD INTEREST FROM A NUMBER OF COMPANIES.

FIVE DIFFERENT COMPANIES EXPRESSED INTEREST, THREE SUBMITTED PROPOSALS.

BECAUSE YOU HAD THREE I THINK YOU FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE THAT YOU'VE GOT GOOD COMPETITION ON PRICES.

OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS WASTE PRO HAD BEEN THE LOW-COST SERVICE PROVIDER HERE IN FLORIDA.

THEY WERE FOUNDED BY FORMER WASTE MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES.

THEY HAD GONE AROUND THE STATE PROVIDING GOODS SERVICE FOR LOWER PRICES BECAUSE THEY WERE A PRIVATE COMPANY, DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS, DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE STOCK PRICE AND THINGS OF THAT SORT.

MORE RECENTLY, FCC HAS BEEN THE LOW-COST PROVIDER OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

THEY'RE PROVIDING SERVICE HERE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY TO TWO OTHER DISTRICTS FOR THE COUNTY.

HAVING BOTH WASTE PRO AND FCC SUBMIT PRICES, I FELT CONFIDENT THAT WE WERE GOING TO GET GOOD PRICES AND WE DID.

BUT I'LL CONFESS, I WAS QUITE SURPRISED WHEN, JEFF, WHERE ARE YOU? JEFF AND HIS CREW GAVE YOU THE LOWEST PRICES.

THAT'S UNUSUAL.

THAT TO ME SPOKE VOLUMES ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY WANT TO KEEP YOU AS A CUSTOMER.

NOW, I KNOW SOME OF YOU MAY BE UNHAPPY WITH THE WAY EVENTS TRANSPIRED BACK IN THE WINTER WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT.

I PERSONALLY WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH THAT TOO.

BUT ST THE END OF THE DAY IF THEY'VE GIVEN YOU THE BEST PRICES, THEY'RE QUALIFIED, THEY'RE HERE, YOU KNOW THEM, THEY'RE CAPABLE, MY PERSPECTIVE, IT'S A NO BRAINER.

YOU NEED TO AWARD THE CONTRACT TO THEM.

THE ONLY QUESTION IS, WHICH VERSION OF THE CONTRACT ARE YOU GOING TO AWARD? YOU'VE GOT ONE VERSION THAT PROVIDES FOR COLLECTION OF GARBAGE CANS AS YOU CURRENTLY DO, THE OTHER VERSION PROVIDES FOR COLLECTION WITH GARBAGE CARTS.

ALL OF THE COMPANIES RECOMMENDED CARTS.

THAT IS DEFINITELY THE TREND HERE IN FLORIDA.

I LIVE IN TALLAHASSEE.

THE CITY OF TALLAHASSEE, LEON COUNTY WENT TO CARTS PROBABLY 20 YEARS AGO.

I WAS VERY SKEPTICAL AT FIRST.

I'M A BELIEVER NOW.

THE CARTS HAVE, AS YOU CAN SEE, HINGED LIDS SO THEY ARE CLOSED UNLESS YOU OVERFILL THEM.

BUT IT HELPS KEEP THE ODORS IN, KEEPS BUGS OUT, KEEPS RODENTS OUT, KEEPS DOGS AND CATS OUT.

RACCOON SOMETIMES GET LUCKY, THEY'RE PRETTY CLEVER.

THEY'LL GET IN ONCE IN A WHILE.

BUT BY AND LARGE THEY DO A GOOD JOB OF CONTROLLING THE WASTE, CONTAINING IT.

THEY ALSO GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO AUTOMATE COLLECTION WHERE POSSIBLE.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE POSSIBLE TO FULLY AUTOMATE IN EVERY COMMUNITY HERE OR EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD HERE IN THIS COMMUNITY.

I PERSONALLY DROVE THROUGH ABACOA.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A BIG FULLY AUTOMATED TRUCK GOING DOWN THOSE STREETS.

IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO WORK.

BUT WHERE YOU HAVE REGULAR SIZE STREETS YOU CAN AUTOMATE.

IN THIS INSTANCE WHAT IT MEANS IS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SIX OR SEVEN FEWER EMPLOYEES THAN YOU WOULD IF YOU CONTINUED WITH MANUAL COLLECTION SERVICE.

NOW, WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE MANUAL COLLECTION SERVICE BUT THEY WARNED US AND ALL OF THE OTHER COMPANIES WARNED US, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD.

NOBODY CAN GET ENOUGH LABOR RIGHT NOW.

NOBODY CAN GET ALL THE DRIVERS THEY NEED, NOBODY CAN GET ALL THE MECHANICS.

THAT'S WHY PRICES HAVE JUMPED UP DRAMATICALLY, THAT'S WHY FROM MY PERSPECTIVE I RECOMMEND IT TO YOU, IT'S THE LOWEST COST ALTERNATIVE OR IT'S THE LOWER COST ALTERNATIVE IN ADDITION FOR WHATEVER IT'S WORTH.

WHAT I FOUND WITH CARTS IS LOTS OF COMMUNITIES ARE NERVOUS ABOUT USING CARTS FOR EXACTLY THE ISSUE YOU RAISED MR. MAYOR.

THEY'RE BIG, THEY'RE BULKY AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE BACK THEY ARE SUBSTANTIAL.

NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE 64 GALLON CART AS BEING THE NORMAL, THE STANDARD FOR THIS COMMUNITY, AND THAT SHOULD WORK WITH TWICE A WEEK COLLECTION.

IF PEOPLE FIND THAT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH CAPACITY THEY CAN GET THE BIGGER ONE.

BUT I UNDERSTAND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN, I CAN'T FIT IT IN MY GARAGE OR MY CARPORT OR IN A CONVENIENT PLACE. THAT'S TRUE.

I CONFESS IT'S A POTENTIAL PROBLEM.

IN MY MIND, WHAT OUTWEIGHS THOSE CONSIDERATIONS IS THOSE CARTS HAVE WHEELS.

[00:50:04]

MY 90 PLUS YEAR OLD MOTHER COULD WHEEL THEM DOWN TO THE CURB AND GET COLLECTION.

EVEN IN HER 90S SHE WAS WHEELING THE CARTS.

NOW, IF I PERSONALLY AT MY AGE HAD TO DRAG A GARBAGE CAN DOWN TO THE STREET, IT'D BE DIFFICULT, HURT YOUR BACK, DO ALL SORTS OF THINGS.

ONCE PEOPLE GET CARTS WITH WHEELS THEY REALLY LIKE THEM.

THAT'S MY PERSONAL $0.2 WORTH.

IT'S ENTIRELY UP TO YOU AS TO HOW YOU WANT TO HANDLE IT.

IT'S JUST WHATEVER YOUR PREFERENCE IS.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN IF YOU GO TO CARTS JUST BECAUSE IT'S A CHANGE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT AND MAYBE THAT'S SIGNIFICANT TO OUTWEIGH THE CONSIDERATIONS.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH IN MY MIND BUT I APPRECIATE THAT I DON'T LIVE HERE AND I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOUR RESONANCE.

IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, THE CONTRACT ITSELF IS OVER 100 PAGES.

IT'S FULL OF BOTH COMPREHENSIVE REQUIREMENTS AND DETAILED REQUIREMENTS.

THE REASON BEING OVER THE LAST 42 YEARS I'VE HAD LOTS OF CLIENTS LIKE YOU WHO COMPLAINED TO ME WHEN THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH WHOEVER THEIR GARBAGE COLLECTOR WAS.

I TRIED TO MAKE A NOTE AND I'D ADD IT TO THE NEXT VERSION OF THE CONTRACT TO TRY AND ADDRESS EVERY ISSUE THAT WAS LIKELY TO COME UP.

IN THIS INSTANCE, ONE OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT YOU'LL HAVE THAT I THINK IS AN IMPORTANT ONE, YOU'LL HAVE WHAT'S CALLED TRACK EASY.

IT'S BEING PROVIDED BY OUR WASTE MANAGEMENT UNDER THEIR PROPOSAL.

IT'S A COMPLAINT SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS RESIDENTS TO GO ONLINE, FILE COMPLAINTS, FILE REQUESTS FOR SERVICE.

WHEN THEY GET FILED, THOMAS AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF YOUR STAFF WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEE THOSE COMPLAINTS.

IF THE RESIDENT PROVIDES THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS, THEY GET AN UPDATE WHEN THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED.

WHEN THE COMPLAINT IS RESOLVED.

AGAIN, THOMAS AND YOUR STAFF WILL SEE THAT THEY'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MONITOR IN REAL TIME.

I THINK THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT.

I'M HAPPY THAT WASTE MANAGEMENT IS GOING TO PROVIDE THAT SERVICE FOR YOU.

IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES THAT HAVE COME UP.

THOMAS MENTIONED THAT PEOPLE WANT EXTRA CARTS, THEY NEED SERVICE.

THEY CAN GO TO THE WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITY IN MARTIN COUNTY.

IT'S 12 MILES FROM TOWN HALL.

I CHECKED IT ON GOOGLE MAPS THIS EVENING IS 12 MILES, SO IT'S NOT AS DISTANT AS YOU MIGHT THINK.

IT'S THE BASE THAT THEY'VE USED FOR HOWEVER MANY DECADES TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY.

IN TERMS OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED AND THE PERSONNEL THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED, WASTE-MANAGEMENT PROVIDED A DETAILED LIST OF THE VEHICLES THEY WOULD USE AND A DETAILED LIST OF EMPLOYEES THAT THEY WOULD USE THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE CONTRACT AND INCORPORATED INTO THE CONTRACT.

THAT EXHIBIT EXPRESSLY PROVIDES THAT AT ALL TIMES THEY WILL HAVE AT LEAST THAT MANY VEHICLES TO SERVE YOU AND THAT MANY EMPLOYEES.

AGAIN, IN SECTION I BELIEVE IT'S 25.1 OF THE CONTRACT, THAT REQUIREMENT IS INCORPORATED INTO THE BODY OF THE CONTRACT ITSELF.

SO YOU HAVE THOSE GUARANTEES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE WHAT THEY'VE PROMISED.

IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE TO UPDATE THEIR COLLECTION PLAN WHENEVER THEY ADD VEHICLES OR REMOVE VEHICLES FROM THE CITY SERVICE, IN ADDITION TO THE ANNUAL UPDATE THAT THOMAS MENTIONED.

THE ONLY ISSUE THAT I'VE HEARD TONIGHT THAT GIVES ME SOME HEARTBURN, MR. MAYOR WAS THE ISSUE THAT YOU RAISED ABOUT THE YARD WASTE.

I RECOGNIZE THAT IN THE PAST UNDER YOUR CURRENT CONTRACT, YOU HAVE EXCEEDINGLY GENEROUS PROVISIONS FOR THE COLLECTION OF YARD WASTE.

IN LOOKING AT THE CONTRACT AND DISCUSSING IT WITH STAFF, WE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TWICE A WEEK COLLECTION FOR YARD TRASH.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OTHER COMMUNITY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA THAT HAS THAT LEVEL OF SERVICE.

SOME COMMUNITIES HAVE IT EVERY OTHER WEEK.

IN THIS INSTANCE, WITH TWICE A WEEK, WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BALANCE THIS COMMUNITY SERVICE REQUIREMENTS WITH PRICING BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THINGS THAT WOULD NEEDLESSLY ADD TO THE PRICE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE VENDOR SERVICES.

[00:55:04]

IN THIS INSTANCE, WE DECIDED THAT OKAY, IF A RESIDENT GOES AND CLEANS OUT THE YARD FOR ME, SAY I WORK ON THE WEEKEND, TAKE ALL THE YARD TRASH OUT TO THE STREET, WHETHER IT'S EIGHT CUBIC YARDS OR 10 CUBIC YARDS, THE AVERAGE PERSON DOESN'T CARE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU HAVE A LIMIT OR NOT, THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IT OUT THERE.

THE QUESTION THEN BECOMES, OKAY, DO YOU TELL THE CONTRACTOR, THE WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THIS CASE, THEY HAVE TO PICK UP EVERYTHING.

THAT'S KNOWN AS THE QUEEN MARY REQUIREMENT.

THEY GOT TO PICK UP EVERYTHING LET'S SAY IT'S A CUB EVEN IF IT INCLUDES THE QUEEN MARY.

IN THIS INSTANCE, THE CONCLUSION THAT WE REACHED AND IS IN THE CONTRACT IS THE VENDOR HAS TO PICK UP EIGHT CUBIC YARDS.

NOW THE REALITY OF IT IS IF IT'S NINE OR 10 OR MAYBE EVEN MORE, JEFF AND HIS FOLKS, THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO PICK IT UP BECAUSE OTHERWISE THEY'RE GOING TO GET A COMPLAINT THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO DEAL WITH THE CITIZEN WHO'S HAGGLING WITH THEM ABOUT, WELL, WAS IT NINE CUBIC YARDS, WAS IT 10 CUBIC YARDS? LET'S SAY THEY DON'T, LET'S SAY IT'S A BIG PILE AND WASTE MANAGEMENT DECIDES THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PICK IT UP.

THE REALITY OF IT IS YOU'VE GOT TWICE A WEEK COLLECTION SO WITHIN THREE OR FOUR DAYS, IT'S GOING TO GET PICKED UP.

NOW, IS THAT SOMEWHAT LESS SERVICE THAN WHAT PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY GETTING? YES, I CONFESS IT IS.

IS IT STILL EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT SERVICE BY COMPARISON EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA? YES, IT IS.

SO THAT'S HOW WE WOUND UP WHERE WE ARE.

I GUESS THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS, MR. MAYOR, I HEARD YOU SUGGEST THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THE CONTRACT TO REINSTATE THE OLD POLICY.

IF WE DO THAT, I WOULD SUGGEST TO YOU THAT YOU'RE GOING TO NEED REBUILD THE CONTRACT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT WE PUT OUT ON THE STREET, THAT'S NOT WHERE WE ASKED FOR WHEN WE GOT PRICES.

IF YOU GO TO A MORE STRINGENT SUBSTANTIVE REQUIREMENT IN THE CONTRACT, JEFF COULD REASONABLY COME BACK TO ME AND SAY, ''GIVE ME MORE MONEY.'' WE HAVE NO WAY OF PRICING THAT AND IF WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO COME UP WITH A NEW PRICE, THEN WE NEED TO LET EVERYBODY COME UP WITH A NEW PRICE.

THAT DELAYS YOUR PROCESS, THAT FURTHER JEOPARDIZES YOUR ABILITY TO HAVE NEW SERVICE ON MARCH 1.

I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK ALL OF YOU TO HOLD YOUR NOSE IF YOU LIKE, BUT TRY TO LET THAT ISSUE GO AND NOT PUSH TO TRY AND CHANGE IT BACK TO THE OLD POLICY BECAUSE THAT RUNS THE RISK OF, AS I SAY, OF RAISING YOUR PRICES AND JEOPARDIZING YOUR SCHEDULE.

IF YOU WANT TO BLAME SOMEBODY, BLAME ME.

I'LL TAKE THE HIT ON THAT ONE.

WITH THAT, I'M OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. YES, SIR.

>> ALL DUE RESPECT, I'M GOING TO ASK THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WAGE MANAGEMENT ASSUME WHEN THEY BID.

WHEN I KNOW SOMETHING WAS A POLICY DIRECTIVE AND HAS BEEN SATISFACTORILY WORKING FOR YEARS, I'M GOING TO ASK IT TO BE TAKEN BACK BETWEEN NOW IN SECOND READING IN WASTE MANAGEMENT, THE OPTION TO SAY WHETHER IT WORKS, SO LET ME EXPLAIN.

I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT AND IT'S DUE TO CHANGEOVER WE HAVE I UNDERSTAND IT, MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PROVISIONS WERE PUT IN.

LET ME DESCRIBE THE SITUATION ON EIGHT CUBIC YARD LIMIT BECAUSE I THINK QUITE FRANKLY, WE CAME UP WITH THE PRACTICAL RESOLUTION ON THAT KNOWING THE WIN-WIN.

I LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAPPENS TO HAVE MORE VEGETATIVE WASTE.

JUST LIKE IN ABACOA, WE PAY A PREMIUM FOR SMALLER VEHICLES, JUST LIKE IN A [INAUDIBLE], WE PAY A PREMIUM FOR DOUBLE, IN ENABLED LIKE MINE, WE RECOGNIZE THIS AS MORE LANDSCAPING DEBRIS.

IT'S ALSO IN A NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE MINE, I HAPPEN TO LIVE ON A CUL-DE-SAC.

ON A CUL-DE-SAC, THE LOGIC LESS WIDE BECAUSE THEY'RE PIE-SHAPED.

YOU CAN PUT POWERS IN FRONT OF EVERY HOUSE BECAUSE THEN THE POSTAL SERVICE CAN'T DELIVER MAIL.

THE PRACTICALITY IS ON MY CUL-DE-SAC IS JUST ONE COMMUNITY SPOT TO PUT OUR LANDSCAPING.

SO WHOEVER STARTS IT ON A SATURDAY OR SUNDAY PUTS A PILE LAYER.

I TAKE MY POM POMS INSTEAD OF HAVING A SEPARATE PILE THAT CREATES MORE WORK FOR WASTE MAN, BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL INDIVIDUAL PILES, WE PUT IT SAME PILE.

NOT UNCOMMON FOR THAT PILE THEN TO GROW TO BE A LARGER SIZE BECAUSE NOW IT'S REALLY THREE OR FOUR HOMES.

WASTE MANAGEMENT KNOWS THAT, SO THEY KNOW IT MEETS THE SPIRIT, THEY PICK IT UP,

[01:00:02]

BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE, BUT IF IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT OUR CUL-DE-SAC SIZE IS MORE THAN EIGHT YARDS THAT CAN BE LEFT BEHIND FOR THREE DAYS.

YOUR THING FROM A PRACTICAL MATTER, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT IS OKAY, WE HAVE TUESDAY AND THURSDAY AND FRIDAY PICKUP.

IF THEY MISS AND THEY DO, AND BY THE WAY, OVER THE LONG TERM, I'VE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT.

YEAH, THERE HAS BEEN MISSED ISSUES, WHATEVER THEY ALWAYS GET WORKED OUT IN THE LONG TERM.

I'M THRILLED ABOUT THE NEW CONTRACT, WE'RE MODERNIZING STUFF PERSONALLY, INCLUDING EVEN THE CUSTOMER FEEDBACK SYSTEM, GREAT.

I THINK THESE ARE ALL IMPROVEMENTS.

BUT IF THEY MISS SOMETHING ON A FRIDAY, IF I'M GOING TO GO WITH P, GO WITH THE WAY THE THING WAS BID, WHICH DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE REAL-WORLD SITUATION WE HAVE HERE, IF A FRIDAY PICK UP IS MISSED, WHAT WE DEAL WITH IS CUSTOMER DOESN'T KNOW IT WAS MISSED UNTIL I GET HOME.

THEY GET HOME AND WASTE MANAGEMENT IS CLOSED.

SO WE THEN SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT TUESDAY WHEN THEY MAY SEE IT FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS THE FIRST TIME, AND THEN IT WAITS TILL THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY, SO IT'S WILLING AN IMPRACTICALITY.

IT'S WORKED OUT SUCCESSFULLY THE WAY IT IS.

I'M GOING TO ASK THAT THEY GO BACK, AND WE ASK WASTE MANAGEMENT TO LOOK AT THE WAY WE HAD PRACTICALLY WORDED IT IN THE CONTRACT, WORK FOR THEM, WORK FOR US.

I LIKE THEM TO ADDRESS THAT WITH AN ASSUMING HERE IT IS A COST INCREASE FOR THAT BECAUSE IT WAS EXTREMELY VERY PRACTICAL, SO THAT'S ONE ITEM I'M EXPLAINING WHY IT WAS WRITTEN THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN.

IT ENDED UP THERE IN PREVIOUS CONTRACTS.

LET'S COME UP WITH A WIN-WIN RESOLUTION HERE.

NO, THEY DON'T HAVE TO PICK IT UP THE SAME DAY, IT'S REASONABLE.

THIS IS A BIG PILE, THEY DON'T WANT TO TIE EVERYTHING UP ON ONE OR TWO BIG PILES.

BUT IT'S NOT UNREASONABLE TO COME BACK THE NEXT DAY. AT LEAST IT HASN'T BEEN.

AGAIN, I WANT THEM TO ANSWER BEFORE I'M GOING TO ASSUME SITTING UP HERE, THEY WON'T.

SO SECOND OF ALL, AGAIN, I'M THRILLED WITH THE CURRENT ARRANGEMENT, WE HAVE TO AND I GOT TO LET MY COLLEAGUES WEIGH IN ON THAT, BUT MOST OF US HAVE WHEELS ON COURTS, SO I SUGGESTS THAT KEY, THIS IS AN IMPROVEMENT JUST BECAUSE IT HAVE WHEELS THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

MOST OF US HAVE WHEELS.

I WAS ASKING IF 32, AND I'M THRILLED WITH THE FLEXIBILITY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, BUT I DON'T KNOW WASTE-MANAGEMENT EQUIPMENT.

IF THE EQUIPMENT WAS COMPATIBLE FOR 32 GALLON SIZE, WE'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE IF IT IS, THAT'D BE SOMETHING THAT'S DESIRABLE TO OUR RESONANCE.

WANT TO KNOW THAT I'M NOT LOOKING TO DRIVE COSTS UP, BUT WE HAVE CERTAINLY A LOT OF RESIDENTS THAT HAVE A HARD TIME FILLING A 32 GALLON SIZE.

AGAIN, I'M NOT TRYING TO COMPLICATE THINGS.

SO THE QUESTION REALLY IS I APPRECIATE WASTE MANAGEMENT LISTENING AND IS THAT OR IS THAT NOT PRACTICAL? IF YOU WOULD'VE TOLD ME IT DOESN'T WORK WITH THE AUTOMATION SYSTEM, OKAY I GET THAT.

BUT IF IT DOES WORK WITH THE FULLY AUTOMATED SYSTEM, THEN I'M ASKING LEGITIMATELY, WHY CAN'T THAT BE AN OPTION? ON THE EXTREME, I LOVE THE FLEXIBILITY IN THE CONTRACT.

I LOVE THE FLEXIBILITY THAT YOU ALLOW US TO GET ANOTHER ONE.

IF 164 ISN'T ENOUGH, THE CONTRACT SAYS I GET A DIFFERENT ONE.

I CAN GET A SECOND ONE.

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO IS IT DOESN'T GIVE FLEXIBILITY TO THE CUSTOMER WHO DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF TRASH.

DID YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER, JEFF ON THIS?

>> GOOD EVENING. HONORABLE MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF.

BEFORE I SPEAK, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE PROCESS, WE'RE STILL UNDER THE CONE OF SILENCE, AND I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT IT'S A PUBLIC PROCEEDING AND I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING DEFINITIVE OR SPECIFIC IN MY ADDRESSING ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE PROCESS.

SO WITH THAT, I'M OKAY TO PROCEED.

>> ANSWER THE QUESTION.

>> I'LL DEFINITELY. SO TO INTRODUCE AS WELL, JEFF SABIN, WM, GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS AND I'M NOT ONE-UPPING DAVID, BUT I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 43 YEARS AND ALONG WITH ME THIS EVENING IS LASZLO GONZALEZ, LASZLO IS OUR SENIOR OPERATIONS MANAGER AND THE TWO THINGS WE HAVE IN COMMON IS WE BOTH STARTED ON A TRUCK AND WE BOTH STARTED ON THE BACK OF THE TRUCK RIGHT HERE IN JUPITER.

FOR ME IT WAS A FEW MORE YEARS BEFORE HIM AND I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD HE IS, BUT HE'S VERY YOUNG.

SO I'LL GET RIGHT TO THE POINT AND ADDRESS THE CART ISSUE.

DO YOU WANT ME TO START WITH YARD WASTE SINCE THAT PRECEDED?

>> EITHER ONE WOULD BE FINE. TWO OF THEM HAVE TO BE ANSWERED.

>> WM DID SUBMIT OUR PROPOSAL BASED ON THIS ABSOLUTE SPECIFICATIONS AS OUTLINED IN THE RFP.

MEANING ALL THE LEVELS OF SERVICE, INCLUDING THE YARD WASTE COLLECTION AND THE LIMITS AND

[01:05:01]

ALSO THE RETURN DATES AS WELL SO THAT WAS SPECIFIC.

WE DID OBVIOUSLY, BASED ON THE COMPARATIVE PRICING, WE SHARPENED OUR PENCILS AND PENS AND EVERYTHING ELSE BECAUSE OF THE PRICING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PROPOSE AND PROVIDE YOU WITH.

SO FOR US, WE WOULD CONSIDER IT, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE COULD SIT DOWN BETWEEN NOW AND THE SECOND READING TO DISCUSS, BECAUSE THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE COULD TALK ABOUT, NOT SUBSTANTIVE, OF COURSE, AS MR. D AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPLANATION, MR. D AND THANK YOU, THOMAS AS WELL FOR GOING OVER AND THE PROCESS WAS JUST AS THEY EXPLAINED.

IT WAS SO PROFESSIONAL ON TIME, EVERYTHING WAS BY THE BOOK AS THEY SAY.

SO CARTS, AS WHAT WAS REPRESENTED, THE CART SIZES IN THE INDUSTRY, I'LL SPEAK TO THE INDUSTRY, AS I SAID, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE REDUNDANT, BUT WE'RE MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION, THE AUTOMATION WE HAVE TO BECAUSE OF THE LABOR AND I KNOW WE SPOKE TO YOU EARLIER THIS YEAR AND HAD THE SAME DISCUSSIONS AND EXCHANGES IN TERMS OF THAT.

SO SIZE IS SMALL TO LARGE.

THE 30 GALLON ARE STANDARD HOUSEHOLD SET OUT.

IT'S NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE AUTOMATED COLLECTION VEHICLE, THE FULLY AUTOMATED AND I THINK MR. MAYOR, AS YOU INDICATED, ALL OF OUR REAR LOAD TRUCKS, I THINK ALL OF THEM HAVE FLIPPERS.

SO SEMI-AUTOMATED WISE, WE CAN PRETTY MUCH TIP ANYTHING THAT HAS A BAR ON IT, WHICH WE DO AND IF YOU'VE NOTICED AND OBSERVED OVER THE NUMBER OF POLY IN THE LAST 5-8 YEARS, THE BIG BOX STORES ARE SELLING 50, 60, 70 GALLON CARTS ALREADY.

THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM OUT THERE ON THE CURVE NOW.

SO WE DO HAVE FLIPPERS.

WE CAN SERVICE THOSE SEMI-AUTOMATED AND YES, THERE ARE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE ALREADY PANNED OUT AND ROUTED FOR SEMI-AUTOMATED BECAUSE THE AUTOMATED TRUCKS ARE TOO LARGE TO MANEUVER THROUGH THOSE [INAUDIBLE] BEING THE PRIMARY ONE THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

THEN LASTLY, AS WE MOVE UP THE 64 GALLON CART, THE ONE TO THE RIGHT, THAT'S A STANDARD RECYCLING CART.

SIXTY-FOUR GALLON IS PRIMARILY THE ONE THAT'S ISSUED FOR ALL SINGLE STREAM RECYCLING BECAUSE WE'RE DUAL STREAMING HERE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY BECAUSE THE SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY STILL HAS US SEPARATING AT THE CURB, THE TWO CONSTITUENTS, THE FIBER AND THE COMMINGLED.

TO ADDRESS THOSE, WE HAVE SPLIT BODY TRUCKS, WHICH ARE AN IMPROVEMENT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW BUT THE 64 GALLON CART WE JUST ISSUED TO MARTIN COUNTY, COUNTYWIDE, 48 THOUSAND FOR THEIR SINGLE STREAM PROGRAM.

BECAUSE I'M A MARTIN COUNTY RESIDENT, I BOUGHT FILLED THAT UP NOT QUITE ONCE A WEEK, BUT THE 96 OR 95 GALLON CART, THAT IS THE UNIVERSAL MSW OR GARBAGE CART.

THAT'S THE SAME ONE THAT THE SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY ALL IN UNINCORPORATED PALM BEACH COUNTY HAS DEALT AT DELRAY WELLINGTON AND GO DOWN THE LIST HERE, ALL THAT'S AUTOMATED, THERE ARE 96 GALLON CARTS.

BECAUSE IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE CURRENT LEVELS OF SERVICE, IT'S UNLIMITED GARBAGE IN THE TOWN OF JUPITER, AS YOU KNOW.

YOU PUT IT OUT, WE PICK IT UP.

MY CONCERN IS IF YOU GO TO THE SMALLER 64 GALLON CART, THERE ARE AREAS IN THE TOWN THAT CERTAINLY WILL FILL THAT UP.

THEY PUT OUT 330 GALLON CANS TWICE A WEEK AS IT IS.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU DO THE MATH, THAT'S 90 GALLONS.

THE LAST THING THAT WE WANT AS YOUR HOPEFULLY, YOUR PROVIDER, WE HOPE IS FOR ANYTHING TO BE LEFT AT THE CURB, ANY OVERAGE BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE WANT TO PULL UP TO HAVE THE AUTOMATED TRUCK WITH A SINGLE DRIVER INSIDE, PULL UP 64 AND GALLON CART AND HAVE TWO BAGS OF GARBAGE NEXT TO THE CAR IN ADDITION TO A FULL CART.

THAT TOTALLY DEFEATS THE WHOLE PURPOSE AND IF YOU HAVE A LAWN CHAIR THAT YOU WANT TO BREAK UP AND GET RID OF OR ANY OF THOSE LITTLE ITEMS, IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY HARD TO STICK IT IN THAT 64 AND GALLON CART TRUST ME.

THE 96, YOU CAN PUT A LOT OF EXTRA THINGS IN AND THEN YOU'VE GOT HOLIDAYS, MAKEUP DAYS, AND YEAH THE SUSPENSION OF SERVICE WHEN THE SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY DECIDES THERE'S GOING TO BE A TROPICAL STORM.

IT DIDN'T, BUT STILL SUBSERVICE ON SATURDAY.

WELL, THOSE PEOPLE HAD TO WAIT A WHOLE ANOTHER COLLECTION DAY TILL WEDNESDAY.

SO I'M JUST WANTING TO SHARE SOME OF THE INDUSTRY THOUGHT PROCESSES AND WHAT I FEEL CURB MANAGEMENT WOULD BE AND I THINK GOING WITH A 96 GALLON CART WOULD BE THE WAY TO GO BECAUSE YOU GET THAT, FIRST OF ALL, THE BANK FOR THE BUCKET FROM OUR STANDPOINT,

[01:10:02]

IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER AND PUT WHATEVER.

YOUR DECISIONS IS YOUR DECISION, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO REDUCE THE LEVELS OF SERVICE PROVIDED, ESPECIALLY SOME OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS AND AREAS THAT YOU VERY WELL KNOW GENERATE MORE THAN 64 GALLONS TWICE A WEEK.

SO I LEAVE YOU WITH THAT AND ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I'M HERE THROUGH YOUR STAFF AS WELL.

>> I THINK I'M GOING TO LET OTHERS WEIGH IN, BUT IF I JUST WANT TO BRING CLOSURE AND THE TWO ITEMS AND I ASKED, I GET IT.

SO BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT, CONSIDER.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE CONSIDERING A QUESTION ON THE VEGETATIVE WASTE, PLEASE COME BACK MY CUL-DE-SAC.

THERE'S A PILE THAT WAS STARTED ON SATURDAY, IT WAS MISSED TODAY. IT'S TUESDAY.

SO IT'S SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY TO BE PICKED UP BY THE WARDS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IN A CONTRACT.

THAT'S SILLY. IT'S SILLY WHEN WE KNOW IT'S A MULTIFAMILY PILE.

SO PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT THAT PRACTICALITY BECAUSE IT'S A PRACTICALITY.

PEOPLE CAN'T PUT TRASH PILES OUT THAT STOPPED US POSTAL SERVICE FROM DELIVERING MAIL.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF PRACTICALITIES HERE.

I THINK IT'S JUST CRAZY THAT WE ARE DEBATING ABOUT THAT, BUT IT'S YOUR PREROGATIVE TO COME BACK, BUT TELL ME HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE ADDRESSED AND THEN I GET IT ON THE COURTS.

I LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE CAN I LIVE WITH THE BIGGER COURTS? YES. IN THE TOWN OF JUPITER TYPICALLY FOR NEIGHBORS THAT YOU TALK ABOUT, AT LEAST SOME OF THEM THAT CAN'T EVEN GET THE BIG TRUCK DOWN, A LOT OF THOSE IN THE TOWN HOMES AND WHATEVER, THEY HAVE NO PLACE TO PUT IT ANYWAY.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

I'M TALKING ABOUT TOWN HOME.

SO WE REALLY HAVE TO BE REALISTIC HERE.

IT'S DIFFERENT WHEN YOU'RE COMPARING, IN MY OPINION, MARTIN COUNTY, THAT DOESN'T HAVE MANY OF THOSE TYPES.

SO I JUST TOOK THE DEGREE THAT THEY ARE SEMI-AUTOMATIC AND I GET IT, YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE 332 GALLON CANS OUT THERE.

I GET ALL THAT, BUT IF SOMEONE'S GOT 332 GALLON CANS, THEN YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO OBJECT TO HAVE A 64 AND A 96.

BUT IF IT'S ALREADY SEMIAUTOMATIC, AT LEAST FOR THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS, I THEN WANT TO ASK, AND AGAIN, I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO COMMIT ANYTHING HERE, JUST THINK ABOUT THE PRACTICALITY OF SERVING 60,000 RESONANCE IN OUR TOWN.

THAT IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE FULLY AUTOMATED AND I'M ALL FOR THE FULLY AUTOMATED, SO IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, IT IS WHAT IT IS.

BUT IN THOSE THAT YOU CAN'T GET THE FULLY AUTOMATED AND IT'S SEMI-AUTOMATED AND YOU SAID YOU'RE GOING TO JUST WALK IT OVER THE TIP OR ANYWAY, WOULD THAT WORK? WE JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT WOULD WORK WITHOUT RAISING COSTS.

>> RIGHT.

>> DO THIS FROM A WIN-WIN PERSPECTIVE.

SO ON THE CARTS, JUST WANT TO PREFACE WHY I WAS ASKING THAT RIGHT.

FOR THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT YOU YOURSELF DESCRIBE, YOU CAN PICK UP AUTOMATED ANYWAY AND YOU GO OVER, YOU HAVE A TEMPER.

SO JUST THINK ABOUT THAT BETWEEN THIS MEETING, THE NEXT MEETING AND THEN JUST LASTLY, I WANT TO SAY BECAUSE I'D GOTTEN ALL MY COMMENTS AND AHEAD-OF-TIME, BUT I WAS EXPECTING SOME DIFFERENT RESOLUTIONS ON THEM BY GETTING AHEAD OF TIME AS OPPOSED TO NO L CAN'T GET THEM.

I'M DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THAT.

BUT THAT SAID, I'M GRATEFUL ALSO FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT'S NEW TRACK EASY SYSTEM.

LET'S COORDINATE SOMETHING DIFFERENT JEFF WILL CALL IT THE CUSTOMER FEEDBACK SYSTEM AS OPPOSED TO COMPLAINT SYSTEM.

I LOVE ABOUT THAT.

I THINK THAT'S AN IMPROVEMENT.

THE SYSTEM WE'VE HAD HAS NEVER WORKED SO I LOVE TO ADD THAT SYSTEM SETUP THAT ALLOW THE FEEDBACK BECAUSE I DO KNOW WHEN FEEDBACK HAS GOTTEN TO WASTE MANAGEMENT, IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT TO GET THERE SOMETIMES BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET IT IN.

BUT WHEN IT'S GOT IT, YOU GUYS ATTACK IT GENERICALLY AND IT'S SOLVED.

IT MAY COME BACK AGAIN, WHICH IS AT SIX MONTHS LATER, A YEAR LATER, WHATEVER, BUT IT GETS RESOLVED.

SO I'M THRILLED ABOUT THAT ASPECT OF IT AS WELL.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BENEFITING AND WE'RE NOT HAVING A DUPLICATED SYSTEM BECAUSE IF THERE REALLY IS A SYSTEM, IT OUGHT TO BE ONE USED BY ALL.

I LOVE THAT TOO, BUT I WANT TO JUST EMPHASIZE THAT THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE NEVER HAD THAT AND THEN EVEN THINGS IN THE CONTRACT LOOK, I REACTED AGAIN, I'M DISAPPOINTED.

SO I'M COMING ACROSS THAT WAY, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.

IF THE CONTRACT SAYS THE CONTRACTOR CAN HAVE THAT OFFICE 40 MILES AWAY.

I KNOW YOUR OFFICES IN 40 MILES AWAY, BUT I'D LIKE THE CURRENT TRACK CHANGE TO BE WHAT IT IS, I DON'T WANT TO AGREE TO WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT OVER EIGHT YEARS.

WELL, THEY SHUT DOWN THAT AND THEY WANT TO GO AHEAD AND SAY, ALL RESIDENTS HAVE TO DRIVE UP THE PORT SAINT LUCY.

IT'S LESS THAN 40 MILES.

WOULD THAT BE ACCEPTABLE TO ME AS MAYOR? NO.

I HOPE THAT'S NOT A CHANGE THAT'S GOING TO COST US MONEY.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT, YOU ENTER INTO CONTRACT,

[01:15:01]

YOU WANT THE CONTRACT TO REPRESENT WHAT YOU CAN AGREE TO DO BUSINESS ON AND THAT'S WHY I ASKED THAT QUESTION AHEAD OF TIME.

I DO THINK SOME OF THESE CHANGES TO ME, IT'S PART OF THE PROCESS AND I HOPE THAT CAN BE INCORPORATED.

PEOPLE MAY THINK I'M BEING UNREASONABLE ABOUT THIS, BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS OVER THE COURSE OF AN EIGHT-YEAR, WHAT COULD BE A 13 YEAR CONTRACT.

WE WANT IT TO BE GENERIC PARTICULARLY WITH THE PICKUP OF CARTS, BECAUSE CUSTOMERS MAY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PICK PER CART AND SAVE THE DELIVERY FEE.

IF IT'S 12 MILES AWAY, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO FOR 40 MILES.

WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MY COLLEAGUES AND I APOLOGIZE.

>> MAYOR, I HAVE A QUESTION ON PROCESS.

ARE WE GOING AROUND THE DIETS, SO DO YOU WANT US TO PIGGYBACK?

>> YES. [INAUDIBLE] [OVERLAPPING].

>> JUST BEFORE ALL DUE RESPECT, [NOISE] ON THE CART IN SPECIFIC TO THIS PROPOSED AGREEMENT, THE PROVISION IN THIS PROPOSED AGREEMENT REFERENCES THE CART SIZES AS THE 64 GALLON BEING THE PRIMARY CART OFFERING AND THAT THE 96 WOULD BE OFFERED TO THOSE AREAS, COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WANTED LARGER CARTS.

MY SUGGESTION IS TO JUST FLIP THAT AND MAKE THE 96 THE PRIMARY WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES AS THE SEMI-AUTOMATED ONES WOULD REQUEST POTENTIALLY THE SMALLER CART, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT WE KNOW ARE GOING TO BE DIFFICULT AND THOSE THAT WE KNOW WOULD BE WHAT WAS REFERENCED PRIOR.

COUNSEL MAY MENTIONED THE HYBRID APPROACH WHERE THERE WON'T BE AN AREA OF THE TOWN OF JUPITER THAT WASTE-MANAGEMENT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PICK UP UNDER ALL THREE OF THOSE SCENARIOS.

I JUST WANT TO REPRESENT THAT. THANK YOU.

>> DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS YOU WANT TO ASK THAT WERE?

>> I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR STAFF OR THE RENEWAL RATE FOR THE FIVE-YEAR IS AT THE SAME RATE THAT WE'RE NEGOTIATING RIGHT NOW OR ARE THEY GOING TO COME BACK LIKE THEY DID LAST TIME AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO RENEW, BUT YOUR NEW RATE IS X?

>> WHEN WE RENEW, EACH YEAR WE'LL BE ABLE TO RENEW FOR A NEW RATE, WHICH DEALS WITH A CPI ADJUSTMENT, AS WELL AS A FUEL ADJUSTMENT, WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN THE EXISTING CONTRACT.

THIS DOES OUR YEARLY RENEWAL RATE ON WHEN WE DO CHANGE THE RATE EACH YEAR, IT DOES HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO UP AND DOWN, DEALS WITH INFLATION AS WELL AS COSTS, DEALING WITH FUEL AS WELL AS WHAT'S, LIKE I SAID, IS IN THIS IN THE CPI RATE.

BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE FUTURE, THE FACT IS THAT THE RENEWAL RATE IS GOING TO BE UNDER THE SAME PRETENSES OF YOU'RE USING THE CPI RATE WITH THE FUEL ADJUSTMENT AS WELL AS THE CPI PORTION, THERE IS NO GOING BACK AND IF THEY WERE TO COME BACK AND SAY WE DON'T WANT TO CHOOSE THE SAME RATE OR WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, THEN THE FACT IS, IS THAT WE GO BACK OUT TO BID.

THAT'S HOW IT GOES.

>> IF I COULD TRY TO CLARIFY THAT.

>> YEAH.

>> THERE ARE ANNUAL CPI INCREASES, WHICH IS WHAT THOMAS WAS MENTIONING EARLIER.

IN TERMS OF THE RENEWAL AT THE END OF THE EIGHT YEAR TERM.

AT THAT POINT, THEY HAVE TO GIVE YOU [NOISE] NOTICE IF THEY DO NOT WISH TO RENEW UNDER THE SAME TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND RATES, THEY HAVE TO GIVE YOU THAT NOTICE, IT'S AT LEAST 18 MONTHS IN ADVANCE WITH THE IDEA BEING, IF YOU GET THAT NOTICE, THEN YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO PREPARE AN RFP, ISSUE THE RFP AND GET A NEW VENDOR.

BUT THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO CONTINUE.

THAT RESPECTFULLY IS REASONABLE BECAUSE AFTER YOU'VE HELD THEM TO THE CONTRACT FOR EIGHT YEARS AND THEY MAY DECIDE THEY ARE NO LONGER WILLING TO PROVIDE SERVICE UNDER THOSE TERMS.

>> THANK YOU. I KNOW I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, SAY WE HAVE A RESIDENT THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CART PERIOD.

THEY PRODUCE ONE BAG OF TRASH A WEEK, THAT'S IT.

I KNOW THOSE RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN, THEY JUST TOSS A LITTLE TRASH BAG OUT TO THE CURBSIDE [NOISE] AND THAT'S IT.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DRAG A WHOLE CART DOWN TO THE CURB, DOES THAT GET INCLUDED IN WHAT YOU CONSIDER BULK COLLECTION AS WE DISCUSSED OR HOW DOES THAT WORK?

>> THEY'RE GOING TO USE A CART.

>> BUT IF THEY DON'T?

>> IF THEY DON'T, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A DIFFERENT WAY TO GET RID OF THE GARBAGE.

>> OKAY.

>> IT'S EITHER EVERYBODY'S ON A CART OR EVERYBODY IS ON CANS.

RESPECTFULLY, MR. MAYOR, WHEN YOU RAISED YOUR COMMENT EARLIER ABOUT, IF I UNDERSTOOD YOU CORRECTLY, IN AREAS WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE SEMI-AUTOMATED COLLECTION, WHERE THERE IS A PERSON GOING GETTING THE CART OR GETTING A CAN AND BRING IT TO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND TIPPING IT IN, YOU HAD ASKED ABOUT USING 32 GALLON CONTAINERS FOR THAT.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AS JEFF INDICATED,

[01:20:03]

THAT FOR THE FULLY AUTOMATED TRUCKS, THEY CAN'T HANDLE THOSE SMALL CARTS.

THEY TEND TO BREAK THE SMALL CARTS.

IN THE SEMI-AUTOMATED AREAS, YES, YOU COULD USE A 32 GALLON CART, THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A REVISION TO THE CONTRACT AND I SHOULD EXPLAIN, THIS CONTRACT'S GONE TO WASTE MANAGEMENT, IT'S BEEN SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT, THEY'VE GIVEN US A PERFORMANCE BOND, THEY'VE GIVEN US A PARENT CORPORATION GUARANTEE, IT'S READY TO GO.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CONTRACT AND YOU WANT TO THROW IT OUT, THAT'S FINE BUT JUST UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S PREPARED AND IT'S SIGNED AND NOW IT'S JUST AWAITING FOR THE TOWN SIGNATURE.

>> BEFORE I BEGIN MY QUESTIONS, I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROCESS.

JUST ASSUMING ME AS MAIN COUNCILOR, [NOISE] I WANTED TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT STAFF HAVE FINISHED THEIR PRESENTATION AND I WANTED TO WAIT.

I'M NOT GOING TO BE GIVING COMMENTS, SO I'M GOING TO BE WITHHOLDING COMMENTS UNTIL EVERYONE'S HAD A CHANCE TO ASK QUESTIONS BECAUSE IT MAY CHANGE MY COMMENTS SO I'LL PROVIDE THOSE AFTER.

FOR NOW MY QUESTIONS MOSTLY HAVE TO DO WITH THE TRANSITION.

THIS IS A TRANSITION FOR OUR TOWN AND THERE'S A TRANSITION PLAN THAT'S MENTIONED IN THE CONTRACT AND SOME OF THE DATES, IT ALSO MENTIONS THAT A SENIOR OR A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE THERE FOR ONE MONTH, BUT WE HAVE TWO READINGS.

WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR TALKING TO RESIDENTS ABOUT A NUMBER OF CHANGES THAT ARE GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THIS SERVICE? HOW ARE WE GOING TO ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS? IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO IT BETWEEN THE TWO READINGS OR TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK FOR SOME OF THESE CHOICES THAT WE'RE MAKING OR TWEAKS THAT WE CAN DO? HOW ARE WE GETTING THE INFORMATION OUT TO RESIDENTS? HOW ARE WE GETTING FEEDBACK FROM THEM AS WE TRANSITION?

>> FOR THE TRANSITION ITSELF, THE TOWN WOULD, ASSUMING WE GO TO CARTS, THE TOWN WOULD BE WORKING WITH WASTE-MANAGEMENT TO ENSURE THAT VARIOUS MATERIALS THAT DEAL WITH THE CART PLACEMENT, CART SIZES, THAT INFORMATION WOULD GO OUT TO THE PUBLIC.

ON STAFFS END, WE WOULD ALSO NEED TO WORK WITH WASTE-MANAGEMENT TO GET INFORMATION OUT TO THE RESIDENTS THEMSELVES FOR ANY COMMUNITIES WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN GOING OUT FOR A LARGER SIZE UP TO THE 96 GALLON BUT AS YOU HAD MENTIONED, THERE IS A TRANSITION PLAN AND AN ACTUAL PLAN WITHIN THE CONTRACT ITSELF WHICH DOES REQUIRE THAT WASTE-MANAGEMENT HIT ALL OF THE VARIOUS MILESTONES LEADING UP TO THE COMMENCEMENT DATE ON THE CONTRACT.

THERE ARE VARIOUS MATERIALS THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED TO WORK WITH US AND GET TO US OVER THE COURSE OF THE PERIOD OF TIME, AND WE WOULD SEND THAT INFORMATION OUT TO THE RESIDENTS THEMSELVES.

WE COULD ALWAYS WORK EARLIER IF IT'S NECESSARY.

I THINK IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO GET INFORMATION OUT EARLIER IF POSSIBLE BUT ESSENTIALLY, WE WOULD NEED TO WORK WITH WASTE-MANAGEMENT TO GET THAT INFORMATION OUT TO THE RESIDENTS THEMSELVES.

>> THAT WOULD HAPPEN EARLIER.

THEN JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL QUESTIONS, THE AUTOMATED SECTION OF THIS WOULD BE FOR GARBAGE, FOR SOLID WASTE, IT WOULD NOT BE FOR RECYCLING OR FOR BULK WASTE.

THAT WOULD STILL BE MANUAL IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS.

>> FOR RECYCLING AND BULK, THAT CAN LIKELY BE MORE OF A DISCUSSION THAT JEFF CAN ANSWER ALL OF THE OPERATIONAL PORTION ON.

BUT AS FAR AS RECYCLING, THAT'S STILL A MANUAL PROCESS, THEY GO AND PICK THOSE ITEMS UP AS FAR AS THE VEGETATIVE IF THERE IS, LET'S SAY A TRUCK WHERE THERE'S A REQUIRE FOR A CLAMSHELL TO PICK UP, [NOISE] THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE AUTOMATED BUT THAT IN A WAY IS ALSO PARTIALLY A MANUAL ITEM, BUT I'LL LET JEFF ANSWER SOME OF THE OTHER QUESTIONS IN DEALING WITH HOW THOSE OPERATIONS TAKE PLACE.

>> THANK YOU. YES. THE YARD WASTE, PARTICULAR THE TWICE A WEEK YARD WASTE WILL STILL DEPLOY THE REAR-END LOAD TRUCKS FOR WHAT WE CALL YARD WASTE REGULAR.

THAT'S THE NORMAL PUT IT OUT AND WE PICK IT UP WITH THE REGULAR TRUCK TWICE A WEEK.

THEN FOR ANY OTHER ABNORMALLY LARGE OR SPECIFICATIONS LONGER, HEAVIER, BE PICKED UP BY THE CLAMSHELL TRUCK AND THAT'S ONCE A WEEK.

WE NOT ONLY PICK UP THE YARD WASTE, WHAT WE CALL LARGE PILE OR BULK PILE, WE ALSO PICK UP BULKY ITEMS AS WELL WITH THE CLAMSHELL TRUCK.

ALL THOSE SERVICES REMAIN THE SAME AND THEN THE RECYCLING,

[01:25:01]

AS THOMAS INDICATED, IT REMAINS THE SAME.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS BECAUSE IT'S DUAL SOIL AT THE CURB, WE'RE DEPLOYING SPLIT BODY REAR LOAD TRUCKS TO COLLECT THOSE VERSUS THE SIDE LOADERS AND WHAT THAT ENABLES US TO DO IS TAKE LARGER PIECES OF CARDBOARD AND THINGS THAT ARE RECYCLABLE, SO WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THE SPECIFICATION OR THE NEW TRUCKS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DEPLOYING AS WELL.

>> I DID SEE SOMETHING, IT WAS RATHER SPECIFIC.

THE CARDBOARD CUT INTO THREE BY THREE FEET PIECES, SO I LOOKED AT THE OLD CONTRACT THAT WE HAD HAD IN PLACE, I DIDN'T SEE IT THERE, BUT I DO SEE IT HERE AND SO I WONDERED IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO RECYCLING CARDBOARD IN THE TOWN.

>> THAT'S A REALLY GREAT QUESTION BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE ACROSS THE BOARD ESPECIALLY COVID, AMAZON, LARGE TV'S, APPLIANCES.

EVERYTHING IS COMING IN LARGER AND LARGER, PIECES OF CARDBOARD AND BOXES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

YES, THE WAY THE CONTRACT IS CURRENTLY, THE PROVISION FOR THAT DOES REQUIRE THE THREE-BY-THREE.

WE DON'T HOLD OUR CREWS, NOR DO WE GIVE THEM MEASURING TAPE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THEY WANT THAT CURVE TO BE CLEAN.

THEY'LL EVEN BREAK UP LARGER PIECES OF CARDBOARD AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT WITH THE REAR LOAD TRUCK.

BECAUSE IT'LL BE ABLE TO CUT AND COMPRESS.

ALL OF THE FIBER THAT COMES OUT, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF.

NOW, THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME MOVE-IN AND MOVE-OUTS WHERE WE'LL DO THE BEST WE CAN.

BUT SOME OF THOSE WE WILL PICK UP WITH PROBABILITY THE BULK TRUCK.

BUT YES, UNDER THIS NEW PROGRAM, I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DIVERT MORE RECYCLABLE MATERIAL WITHIN THE TOWN BECAUSE OF THESE NEW SPLIT-BODY TRUCKS, SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

>> WONDERFUL. I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION FROM A RESIDENT ABOUT ELECTRONICS.

ARE WE COLLECTING ELECTRONICS CURBSIDE OR CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT?

>> I CAN. THE SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY OF PALM BEACH COUNTY HAS A DEPOT RIGHT HERE ON MILITARY TRAIL AND DONALD ROSS, THAT'S SUPER CONVENIENT FOR RESIDENTS TO NOT ONLY BRING THEIR ELECTRONICS TO, BUT THEY'RE FLUORESCENT BULBS, ALL THOSE BATTERIES BECAUSE WE REALLY LIKE TO KEEP THEM OUT OF THE WASTE STREAM AND WE'D LIKE TO PROMOTE THAT AND HOW KATE MARIETTA WAS WORKING ON AND HAS IN THE PAST PROGRAMS WHERE THEY TAKE TOURS OF NOT ONLY OUR FACILITY BUT THE SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY, HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DEPOT RIGHT THERE.

IT'S IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TRANSFER STATION.

IT MAKES IT REALLY CONVENIENT FOR TOWN OF JUPITER RESIDENTS TO ACCESS THAT.

WE REALLY ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO TAKE ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT SHOULDN'T GO IN THE GARBAGE RIGHT DOWN THE STREET TO THE SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY DEPOT.

>> OKAY. I WANTED TO CLARIFY, YOU HAD MENTIONED THE BENEFITS OF THE TWO DIFFERENT SIZES AND HOW THE 96-GALLON, I THINK IS THE DEFAULT ELSEWHERE IN THE COUNTY.

BUT HERE IN OUR CONTRACT, WE CAN REQUEST AS MANY OF THE OTHER SIZE.

IS THAT RIGHT? THERE'S NO LIMIT PER SE IF WE WANTED TO HAVE TWO OF THE SMALLER SIZE.

AS A WOMAN, I DON'T LIKE THE LARGE CART.

I LIKE THE SMALLER ONE, AND IT'S SOMETIMES IRRATIONAL AND I WOULD ALMOST RATHER HAVE TWO.

IT'S BIZARRE, BUT IT'S MY PREFERENCE, SO IS IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO LIMIT PER POTENTIALLY? IT MAY NOT BE A PROBLEM.

>> CORRECT. THERE IS NO LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT OF CARTS. [OVERLAPPING]

>> FOR RECYCLING BINS OR?

>> NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.

>> THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. THANK YOU.

>> I JUST HAVE SOME GENERAL QUESTIONS FOR ANYBODY THAT MIGHT BE WATCHING, EIGHT YEARS IS A LONG CONTRACT, THERE IS A LOT OF MOVING PARTS.

SPECIFICALLY, IT'S FOR THE RESIDENTIAL 2195 A MONTH, THAT'LL BE ADJUSTED YEARLY, CORRECT?

>> CORRECT.

>> ARE THERE ANY PERCENTAGE MAXIMUM THAT COULD BE INCREASED OR DECREASED OR ZERO. IS IT LOCKED IN OR?

>> PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS A MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE OF FIVE PERCENT DUE TO THE CURRENT INFLATION MARKET.

WE TRIED TO WORK IN SOMETHING THAT WAS A LITTLE MORE REASONABLE AT THE CURRENT MOMENT OF THE MAX IS SET UP AT SEVEN PERCENT, AND DOES ALLOW FOR INCREASES AND DECREASES.

NOT TO SAY THAT WE WANT A RECESSION, BUT SHOULD THAT HAPPEN, THAT DOES ALLOW FOR BOTH.

>> IF WASTE MANAGEMENT APPROACHES NOW SAYS WE NEED TO GO UP SIX PERCENT.

THE NUMBERS WERE AVAILABLE FOR YOU FOLKS TO AUDIT IT AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S.

>> THE NUMBERS ARE AVAILABLE, SO BASICALLY IT'S THE CPI WHICH BASED ON THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, THOSE ARE PUBLISHED THEY ARE A PUBLIC DOCUMENT.

THAT IS THE WAY THAT THEY WOULD BE ADJUSTED AS WELL AS A FUEL ADJUSTMENT,

[01:30:01]

WHICH IS A PPI ADJUSTMENT.

WE ARE ABUSING AN AVERAGE OVER A COURSE OF THAT YEAR IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT ADJUSTMENT, SO IT'S NOT JUST THAT WE'RE PICKING A SPOT IN TIME FROM THIS TO THIS.

IT'S NO, WELL NOW WE'RE GOING TO ADJUST OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR.

THE UP AND DOWN, IT WILL BE AN AVERAGE OVER THE COURSE OF THAT YEAR.

>> GOOD EXPLANATION. I GOT SOME QUESTIONS ON THIS WEEK.

STAY PUT, JEFF CAN I SPEAK WITH YOU FOR A SECOND, I HAVE A QUESTION.

YOUR AUTOMATED TRUCKS, ARE THEY COMPARABLE IN SIZE TO YOUR STANDARD TRUCKS THAT ARE IN SERVICE TODAY, OR ARE THEY BIGGER?

>> BECAUSE THEY'RE EQUAL CAPACITY AND HEIGHT-WISE.

I THINK THEY'RE THE SAME SIZE, SAME CAPACITY.

YEAH. [OVERLAPPING] I'M JUST THINKING THE REASON I HESITATED IS BECAUSE THE NEWER TRUCKS ARE COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS-POWERED VEHICLES.

THEY'VE BEEN REMODIFIED IN DESIGN FOR THE TANK, BUT NOW IT HASN'T AFFECTED ITS HEIGHT.

THE NEWER, WHAT WE CALL PROBABLY THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD OR FOURTH VERSION OF THESE TRUCKS, THERE ABOUT EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE.

>> I'M MORE CONCERNED WITH THE WIDTH.

BECAUSE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S A SMALL 45 HOME.

SATURDAY MORNING, YOU'LL HEAR THE TRUCK OUT THERE BEEPING BECAUSE PEOPLE PARK ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD, NOT SUPPOSED TO, BUT THEY DO.

WILL THAT BE A LARGER ISSUE OR ARE THEY WIDER OR ARE THEY THE SAME WIDTH AS THE OTHER TRUCKS?

>> THE TURNING RADIUSES ARE THE SAME.

ACTUALLY THE NEW TRUCKS NOW ARE COMING OUT.

ACTUALLY, WM IS SPECIFYING THE NEW TRUCKS WITH THE SUPER SINGLES.

I DON'T WANT TO GET TECHNICAL, BUT THE LARGER TIRE, WE'RE GETTING AWAY FROM THE DEW LEASE BECAUSE THEY DO A LOT OF SCRUBBING ON THE PAVEMENT.

>> RIGHT.

>> THE SUPER SINGLES ARE PROVIDING US A LITTLE MORE MANEUVERABILITY AND OVERALL LESS WEAR AND TEAR ON THE PAVEMENT.

>> ON RUBS-OFF?

>> YES, SIR.

>> BACK TO THE YARD WASTE, THE EIGHT CUBIC YARDS.

SINCE THE DRIVER DISTINGUISHED, HE SEES A PILE AND HE SAY, THAT'S EIGHT CUBIC YARDS BUT IT'S PALM FRONDS, LEAVES, BAGS OF LEAVES.

DO THEY DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THAT AND JUST A PILE OF CUT LOGS FROM OAK TREES OR IS IT EIGHT CUBIC YARDS, EIGHT CUBIC YARDS? ARE THERE JUDGMENT CALLS THERE? I KNOW THERE'S A LOT. I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THERE ARE SOME.

>> YES, THERE'S BOTH BECAUSE THE DRIVER HAS TO BE COGNIZANT OF WEIGHT.

THE DRIVER WILL VISUALIZE IN WHAT EIGHT CUBIC YARDS AND THE BASIC BODY OF THE CLAMSHELL TRUCK IS 22 CUBIC YARDS.

HE KNOWS HOW MUCH PER LOAD IT IS BASED ON WHAT WILL GO IN.

A LOT OF TIMES WHAT THEY'LL DO HE'LL LOAD WITH THE LOOSE MATERIAL AND THEN PUT THE HEAVIER MATERIAL ON IT TO COMPACT IT SO HE CAN GET MORE IN THE VEHICLE.

>> OKAY.

>> YES.

>> BACK TO THE DIFFERENT SIZE CANCEL ON A STREET THAT IT'S DEEMED AUTOMATED.

EVERYBODY IN THE STREETS LOCKED INTO AUTOMATED, HAVE TO HAVE A LARGE CAN.

>> CORRECT.

>> OKAY. [NOISE].

>> THE WAY IT'S CURRENTLY WRITTEN IF LET'S SAY THAT YOUR HOA WERE TO APPROACH AND IT WAS DECIDED IN THE COMMUNITY A 96-GALLON COULD BE PICKED UP.

BUT THE WAY IT'S CURRENTLY WRITTEN IN THE PROPOSED CONTRACT, A 64 IS WHAT EVERYONE WOULD HAVE UNLESS YOUR HOA HAD ASKED FOR LARGER.

>> ANOTHER THING WITH HOA IS, [OVERLAPPING] IF YOU CAN'T FIT THE LARGE CAN IN YOUR GARAGE, YOU CAN'T LEAVE IT OUTSIDE IN THE YARD, HAS THAT BECOME AN ISSUE WHEN YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS? HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING FROM HOA?

>> THAT WAS A CONCERN THAT WE WERE AWARE THAT THAT WOULD ALSO BE A POTENTIAL ISSUE, THAT THERE WOULD ALSO BE AN ADJUSTING PERIOD FOR VARIOUS HOA AS WELL AS IN MOVING TOWARDS THAT.

>> I THINK THAT'S IT FOR NOW. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> APPRECIATE.

>> I MIGHT NOT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST SOME COMMENTS.

I WANT TO COMPLIMENT YOU ON THE CONTRACT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS EXTREMELY WELL DONE, EXTREMELY THOROUGH, EXTREMELY COMPREHENSIVE.

EVERY TIME I HAD A QUESTION AND I TURNED THE PAGE, THE NEXT SECTION ANSWERED THE QUESTION, SO YOU GUYS REALLY, I THINK COVERED A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AND PROVIDED SOLUTIONS TO A LOT OF THINGS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY, REALLY WELL DONE.

IN TERMS OF THE SIZES OF THE CARTS, I THINK IT WOULD PREFER TO START WITH THE 64 AND LET PEOPLE MOVE UP TO THE 96.

BUT I THINK IN TERMS OF THE SMALLER CARTS, FOLKS HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT EVERYTHING HAS TO GO INTO THAT CAR.

IT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SCENARIO, I AM FAMILIAR WITH THESE CARTS.

I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH THEM IN OTHER SITUATIONS AND THE SMALL ONES, IT MAY SEEM LIKE THAT'S THE BEST SOLUTION, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY PRACTICAL WHEN YOU HAVE TO PUT

[01:35:02]

EVERYTHING IN THERE BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE A BAG OUT LEFT OUT, IT'S NOT GOING TO GET PICKED UP AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN THE CAN AND WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE.

BUT THE 96 IS VERY LARGE.

I WOULD RATHER GO FORWARD AS YOU HAVE IN THE CONTRACT STARTING OUT WITH A 64 AND LET PEOPLE EITHER UPGRADE TO A 96 OR GET A SECOND 64.

JUST OVERALL, I THINK THERE'S A GOOD BALANCE HERE BETWEEN THE COSTS AND PROVIDING GOOD SERVICE.

I DON'T THINK THAT THE MANUAL IS PRACTICAL ANYMORE.

WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LABOR SHORTAGE IS.

A LOT OF OTHER TOWNS AND AREAS HAVE THE AUTOMATED CARTS, IT WORKS JUST FINE.

I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROPOSED CONTRACT WITH THE CART.

>> JUST A COUPLE OF FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS, JEFF.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN, I'LL USE A CLAMSHELL? IT ALWAYS BEEN MY UNDERSTANDING.

HAVING A HEART KNOWING, FOR THE HARD WORK THAT YOUR GUYS DO, THAT THE PREFERENCE WOULD BE FOR THE CLAMSHELL TO BE USED EVEN FOR THE SMALLER SIZE PILES.

BECAUSE IT'S DONE BY A MACHINE AS OPPOSED TO THEM HAVING TO BEND DOWN AND PICK IT UP.

IT'S BEEN MY LAWN ON EXPERIENCE THAT IT'S A JUDGMENT.

I WANT THEM TO BE ENTITLED TO THAT.

IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR A PILE LESS THAN SIX CUBIC YARDS TO BE PICKED UP, GREAT.

THAT IS THE PRACTICE, CORRECT? I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS.

IT'S NOT THAT IT ONLY GETS PICKED UP IF IT'S BY CLAMSHELL, IF IT'S EIGHT CUBIC YARDS OR MORE, IT'S THE FACT THAT YOU WANT TO MAXIMIZE THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE SAVING THE BACKS OF THE GUYS DOING THE WORK.

CORRECT.

THAT IS RIGHT.

>> WHICH IS THE WAY WE LOOK AT IT IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE SOME POO PILES FOR MULTI-HOMES WHICH RESULTS IN THE MORE THAN EIGHT CUBIC YARD LIMIT THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH HERE SO KEEP THAT IN MIND.

>> WILL DO. ALSO, SAFETY IS SO CRITICAL.

BOUGAINVILLEAS, SPANISH BAYONETS, SOME OF THOSE DATE PALM FRONDS. [NOISE]

>> I UNDERSTAND.

>> YES. WE USE PLAM SHELL MORE THAN WE PROBABLY WOULD LIKE TO FROM AN EFFICIENCY STANDPOINT.

BUT TO YOUR POINT, YES, SIR.

>> I DO THE DATE PALMS IN TRASH CAN FOR THAT REASON.

>> THANK YOU. ROW BELLINIS.

>> ROW BELLINIS, YEAH. QUESTION, A BEACH CLEANUP IS NOT A COMMUNITY EVENT?

>> I THINK UNDER THE AGREEMENT AND I'M GOING TO STOP RIGHT THERE. [OVERLAPPING]

>> TOWN DESIGNATED EVENTS.

IF A TOWN HAD DESIGNATED IT AS A BEACH CLEANUP THEN IT COULD BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH.

AS I'VE MENTIONED EARLIER THERE'S 10 TOWN EVENTS THAT WASTE MANAGEMENT [OVERLAPPING]

>> I KNOW YOU MENTIONED EARLIER WHICH IS WHY I'VE SAID IN THE COMMENT THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT BECAUSE, HOW MANY BEACH CLEANUPS DO WE HAVE A YEAR?

>> IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. THAT ANSWER I DON'T REALLY KNOW OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD [OVERLAPPING]

>> IS IT MONTHLY?

>> I WOULD HAVE TO GET A GUIDE.

>> I THINK IT'S MONTHLY.

>> IS IT IN MONTHLY? JUST THE BEACH CLEANUPS ALONE WE'VE CONSUMED MORE THAN THE TOWN YOU'RE SAYING IS ALLOWED IN THE COMMUNITY EVENTS.

>> BUT IS THAT A TOWN-DESIGNATED EVENT? [OVERLAPPING] THAT IS THE QUESTION.

>> YEAH.

>> BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLARIFIED IN SECTION 8.4 BECAUSE THE WORDS BEACH CLEANUP NEVER BEEN INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY EVENT SECTION THAT'S LIMITED TO 10.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN LIMITED TO 10.

I WANT TO CLARIFY WHAT THE INTENTION IS ON THAT WHETHER IT DOES OR DOESN'T RESULT IN ANY LANGUAGE CHANGE BECAUSE I'M QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

>> RIGHT. BECAUSE FRIENDS OF JUPITER BEACH, WE TRY AND COORDINATE WITH THEM ON THOSE SATURDAYS, FIRST SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH TO TRY AND GET OUR CREWS IN BEHIND THEM SO WE HAVE LESS LEFT BEHIND TRASHES.

I HAD A COMMENT PRIOR TO THAT AS WELL.

BUT THE NEW CONTRACT STIPULATES THAT UNLESS THE TOWN DESIGNATES IT AS A SANCTIONED TOWN EVENT, THEN IT DOESN'T GET CREDITED FOR THAT.

WE WOULD DO IT ON OUR OWN BUT IT WOULDN'T BE TOWN-SANCTIONED NOR WOULD IT TAKE AWAY FROM THE 10. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.

>> COMMUNITY EVENTS ARE LISTED UNDER SECTION 1.22 OF THE CONTRACT AS A DEFINITION.

>> THAT'S UNDER DEFINITION OF [OVERLAPPING] SECTIONED.

>> 1.22.

>> MR. MAYOR, THE POINT IS THE TOWN HAS TO DESIGNATE THE 10 EVENTS.

THOMAS OR WHOEVER WILL DESIGNATE THE EVENTS, IF WASTE MANAGEMENT WANTS TO DO A BEACH CLEANUP AND THEY WANT TO PROVIDE THAT AS CHARITY WORK, THEY CAN DO THAT.

FOR THE PURPOSES OF ISSUING AN RFP AND GETTING PRICES, WE HAD TO HAVE SOME LIMIT ON WHAT WAS GOING TO BE PROVIDED

[01:40:03]

SO THAT THE VENDORS COULD PRICE IT AND THAT'S WHY THERE'S A 960 [OVERLAPPING]

>> WE'VE ALWAYS HAD 10 COMMUNITY EVENT LIMIT I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT.

IT'S WHEN THE DEFINITION IN THE SECTION EXPANDED TO INCLUDE STUFF THAT WE'VE ALWAYS HAD THAT'S OUTSIDE A COMMUNITY EVENT THAT I'M RAISING THE CONCERN.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT GETS ADDRESSED.

>> IT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED ALREADY IN THE CONTRACT.

IT HAS TO BE DESIGNATED BY THE TOWN.

>> THANK YOU. [INAUDIBLE]

>> A COUPLE [INAUDIBLE].

SINCE I'VE BEEN IN THIS POSITION, I WON'T SAY THE MOST, SOME OF THE MOST PREVALENT COMPLAINTS I GET, I GET AN EMAIL WITH A PHOTO OF, "HEY, THESE CONTAINERS AT THE BEACH ARE OVERFLOWING'' AND THEY'RE OVERFLOWING.

WHAT DAYS DO WE COLLECT AT THE BEACH RIGHT NOW?

>> MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND SATURDAY.

>> WE'RE GOING TO STAY ON THAT SCHEDULE?

>> THAT'S OUR PLAN.

>> IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN HAVE A VISUAL ON THE BEACH TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE'S ANY OVERFLOW IT JUST GETS TAKEN CARE OF IN THIS CONTRACT? MAYBE GOODWILL ON YOUR END.

I KNOW I'VE REACHED OUT TO YOU A COUPLE OF TIMES [INAUDIBLE]

>> YES, YOU HAVE.

>> I HAVE SOME MOLES NOW AT THE BEACH AND THEY GET ON ME, "HEY, THIS IS OVERFLOWING. IT'S OVERFLOWING." YOU'VE BEEN REALLY GOOD ON THAT.

NOW I HATE TO BUG YOU ALL THE TIME LIKE SOMETHING IS OVERFLOWING BUT HE'S BEEN GREAT AT GETTING THINGS CLEANED UP AT THE BEACH.

>> WE CAN ADJUST THAT. WE'LL WORK WITH STAFF AND OUR TEAM.

WE HAVE REGULAR COORDINATION MEETINGS BUT WE CAN FOCUS ON THE BEACH SINCE WE'VE HEARD PRIOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

I THINK THOMAS REFERENCED A COUPLE OF THE CROSSOVERS THAT HAVE HIGHER VOLUME, MORE ACTIVITY THERE.

WE MAY NEED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL RECEPTACLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WE'LL DEFINITELY DO THAT.

>> IT'S JUST SUPER IMPORTANT IT'S SO VISUAL. IT'S THE BEACH.

IT'S JUPITER BEACH THIS TOWN IS ALL ABOUT.

IF A RESIDENT, A NEW TOURIST GOES DOWN AND THEY SEE OVERFLOWING TRASH CANS IT JUST LOOKS AWFUL.

>> IT LOOKS BAD FOR [OVERLAPPING]

>> THE GENTLEMAN SAID THERE'S RODENT ISSUES AND ALL OF THAT DOWN THERE.

>> WE'LL WORK WITH YOUR STAFF FOR SURE.

>> BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. ONE MORE QUESTION I GOT FROM SOMEONE WAS; SO NOW YOU PUT YOUR TRASH CAN OUT AND YOU MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS, SOME TWO-BY-FOURS OR SOMETHING, RIGHT NOW THE GUYS THEY THROW EVERYTHING IN THE TRUCK.

NOW EVERYTHING HAS TO GO IN A LARGE CONTAINER THERE'S NO ANCILLARY THING SITTING ON THE PAVEMENT SO EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.

>> RIGHT. THAT'S ONE MORE REASON WHY BECAUSE I THINK WITHIN THIS NEW CONTRACT AND I'M GOING TO DEFER TO STAFF ON THE PARTICULARS BUT THERE'S A PROVISION FOR CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION AND I THINK IT'S A [OVERLAPPING] TWO CUBIC YARD LIMIT.

TWO CUBIC YARDS [NOISE] FIT IN A 64-GALLON.

BUT IT WOULD FIT IN THE 96.

I'LL LEAVE YOU AT THAT. [LAUGHTER]

>> THANK YOU.

>> JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT ONE THE ONE BEFORE THE A1A BEACH PICKUP.

BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR CONTRACT HERE.

IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WAS MISSED WE WANT TO GET IT RESOLVED AND WE TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF FOR YEARS.

THE A IS IN EXHIBIT 8, IF YOU HADN'T SEEN IT AND I WONDERED ABOUT THAT.

WE SPELL OUT VERY SPECIFICALLY IT'S ON PAGE 304 IN EXHIBIT 8.

THE NUMBER OF TRASH CANS AND THE NUMBER OF 96-GALLON CARTS IN A THREE TIMES A WEEK.

IF WE'RE TO CONCLUDE NOW THAT THAT NUMBER NEEDS TO CHANGE, WE NEED TO CHANGE IT TO GET IT RIGHT.

I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT.

THIS DOESN'T TALK ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE TRASH CANS SO I PRESUME THAT'S STILL AN OPEN ITEM THAT ONE SOLUTION WOULD BE A BIGGER TRASH CAN, I GUESS.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SIZES ARE THERE AND I'M NOT FINDING FAULT.

I'M JUST SAYING THESE CHRONIC THINGS THAT WE'VE DEALT WITH YEARS, WE'VE GOT TO GET RIGHT IN HERE.

>> IT'S NOBODY'S FAULT BUT JUST AS WE'RE HERE LET'S [OVERLAPPING]

>> LET'S FIX IT. THIS IS ENTERING INTO A NEW AGREEMENT IT BENEFITS EVERYBODY HERE.

CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER THE RESOLUTION IS IF IT TURNS OUT THIS EXHIBIT 8 NEEDS TO CHANGE AS WE CONCLUDE? I'D RATHER GET IT CHANGED

>> RIGHT.

>> MR. MAYOR, TO VICE MAYOR.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I REPRESENTED MY RESPONSE IN THE CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS.

THAT DEBRIS WOULD NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO GO IN THE CART BECAUSE THAT COULD BE PICKED UP WITH THE REAR LOADER ON A BULK PICKUP OR A CLAM SHELL, ACTUALLY A CLAM SHELL.

>> WOULD YOU HAVE TO CALL IT IN?

>> NO. OUR DRIVERS [OVERLAPPING] THEY SEE IT, THEY'LL CALL IT IN THEY'LL TAKE IT.

THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE TO CALL IN.

>> GREAT. THANK YOU.

>> JEFF, ONE OF THE POINTS I THOUGHT WAS INTRIGUING HERE IS

[01:45:02]

THAT NORMALLY WHETHER THIS IS IN THE CONTRACT OR NOT, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PERCEPTION THAT A TRASH CAN, GARBAGE CAN, CAN ONLY HANDLE A CERTAIN WEIGHT BECAUSE THE GUYS ARE MANUALLY PICKING IT UP.

I'M THRILLED WITH THE CARTS.

THE FACT THAT THEY'RE DESIGNATED AS 224 POUNDS OR 330 POUNDS.

PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY PUT STUFF IN THERE THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE DONE EVER BEFORE, RIGHT?

>> RIGHT.

>> THAT IS SOMETHING TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HERE.

I JUST WANTED TO EMPHASIZE THAT WHERE I MAYBE NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TO PUT SOME OF THESE PIECES IN THE CART, WE NOW CAN.

I JUST WANT TO GET THAT ON THE RECORD.

>> WEIGHT IS NOT AN ISSUE.

>> WAS IT A 50-POUND MAX BEFORE?

>> YES, 50 POUNDS.

>> YEAH.

>> WHICH NOBODY FOLLOWED WHEN YOU HAVE A 64-GALLON.

>> NO. [LAUGHTER] EXACTLY. RIGHT. THAT'S WHY WE PUT TAPERS ON THE REAR LOADERS.

>> YEAH.

>> GOING BACK TO COMMENTS, ANY OTHER FINAL COMMENTS?

>> MAYOR MAKE A MOTION [BACKGROUND] THAT WE HAVE CITIZEN COMMENT.

>> SOME CITIZEN COMMENTS. SECTION COLLEGE?

>> CRAG MALLORY. [NOISE] [LAUGHTER]

>> THANK YOU CRAG MALLORY 231 BLANCA'S LANE IN JUPITER.

JUST THE FIRST COMMENT.

MY PHONE, THE UNIT CONVERTER SAYS 96 GALLONS IS 0.475 HALF A CUBIC YARD.

TWO CUBIC YARDS WON'T FIT IN ONE OF THOSE.

[NOISE] [LAUGHTER] SECOND THING, I THINK THE CONTRACT HAS WHAT I WOULD CALL TWO VERY MINOR DEFECTS, EASILY CURABLE.

ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST, ON SECTION 12.2.2 DOES NOT ADDRESS RUBBISH.

RUBBISH IS DEFINED IN THE DEFINITIONS UP WITH THE FRONT [NOISE] BUT FOR SOME REASON IS NOT THERE.

SAME WITH SECTION 37.1, IT DOES NOT ADDRESS RUBBISH, SHOULD.

THERE'S ONE THAT I CAN'T TELL IF IT'S A DEFECT OR NOT.

ALSO IN SECTION 12.2.2, IT SAYS IF I READ IT RIGHT IF THE RECYCLES PICK UP IS SCHEDULED ON A HOLIDAY, OF COURSE NOT PICK IT UP ON A HOLIDAY.

RECYCLED WILL BE PICKED UP THE NEXT DAY.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THE INTENT, [LAUGHTER] BUT THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS.

SECTION 36.4 ADDRESSES NOTICES.

PRIMARILY IF THESE ARE HOLIDAYS WE'RE GOING TO BE [NOISE] WHEN WE WILL PICK IT UP IF WE'RE NOT PICKING IT UP ON THE HOLIDAY.

IT SAYS THAT THOSE NOTICES WILL BE ON THE WASTE MANAGEMENT WEBSITE.

I BELIEVE THOSE SHOULD BE ON THE TOWN OF JUPITER WEBSITE. THANK YOU.

>> WAYNE POSNER.

>> IT WAS GOING TO BE DRAMATIC WAYNE POSNER 315 KARINA DRIVE.

I WAS GOING TO TRY TO BRING ONE OF THOSE TRASH CANS DOWN HERE, [LAUGHTER] BUT I'M AFRAID I TRIP.

ANYWAY, I FEEL TRASH IS TRUTH.

THAT'S ONE THING WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT TONIGHT.

TRASH IS TRUTH.

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST COMPLICATED ISSUES AS YOU CAN SEE.

FIRST, I WANT TO THANK MR. KITZEROW, WE'VE MADE A GREAT DECISION.

WE'RE ALL LOCAL PEOPLE HERE.

WE ALL LIVE TOGETHER.

YOU MADE A GREAT DECISION.

MR. TOMAS FERNANDEZ.

WHAT A GREAT IMPROVEMENT FROM WHAT WE HAD.

I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT ABOUT THE LAST PERSON, BUT LOOK HOW FAST THEY PUT THIS TOGETHER.

I LOVE THESE TWO PEOPLE.

THEY DID A GREAT JOB FOR THE TOWN.

LOOK HOW COMPLICATED THIS IS.

DON'T FEEL BAD I'M PATTING YOU GUYS ON THE BACK, BUT YOU DESERVE IT.

CHERYL, YOU HAD A GREAT COMMENTS AND I REALLY LIKED WHAT YOU SAID.

MAYOR, OF COURSE, IN DEPTH INTO THE WEEDS, LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO.

THIS IS WHAT WE DO. THIS IS WHAT YOU GET PAID FOR.

I KNOW YOU DON'T GET PAID MUCH, BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU GET PAID FOR.

I HEARD YOUR COMMENTS AND YOURS, ALL GOOD COMMENTS AND THE SMALL PACKAGE, BUT MAYBE WE CAN GET TO THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THIS IN A LONG QUICK STORY.

I MET WAYNE HUIZENGA MANY, MANY YEARS AGO.

HE WAS THE OWNER OF WASTE-MANAGEMENT, HAPPENED TO BE A GREAT GUY AND THAT'S THE WHOLE STORY IN ITSELF.

THE BIGGER UNIT IS WHAT WE REALLY SHOULD BE GOING FOR [NOISE] AS THE PRIMARY.

EVERYONE CAN GET SMALLER CANS TWO CANS.

WE MAY EVEN BE ABLE TO, WE MEANING WASTE MANAGEMENT HOPEFULLY IS LISTENING.

THEY CAN PICK UP IF THEY HAVE A MEDICAL ISSUE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THEY CAN'T GET AN ORIENTED CURB, USE THE CANE AND PUT IT IN THE CAN MAYBE THEY CAN FIGURE SOMETHING WAY TO GO GET THE CAN SO SOMEBODY DOESN'T HAVE TO ROLL THE CAN.

YOU CAN MAYBE ASK THEM TO DO THAT WORK BEFORE THE NEXT READING.

MAYBE THEY CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION.

THE ONE-YEAR SITUATION OR THE 18 MONTHS TO AGREE TO NEW CONTRACT.

[01:50:02]

I THINK IT SHOULD BE ONE YEAR. WE'VE PROVED THAT WE CAN GET IT DONE IN SIX MONTHS WITH A PROPOSAL.

WHY PUT IT 18 MONTHS? WE CAN HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT, WE CAN HAVE A NEW ECONOMIC CONDITION.

GIVE ME A YEAR 18 MONTHS A LITTLE LONG TO PREDICT WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS.

CPI, CPI IS THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX.

MY QUESTION WITH THAT IS THAT SEVEN PERCENT MAX PER YEAR OR SEVEN PERCENT OVER THE ENTIRE CONTRACT? CPI CAN MOVE A LOT CONSUMER PRICE INDEX.

I JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THAT ANSWER IS.

AGAIN, LET'S GET ON THE POSITIVE SIDE.

WITH YARD WASTE, WE HAVE GATED COMMUNITIES.

I LIVE IN A GATED COMMUNITY.

I CAN VERY EASILY SAY PICK IT UP ONCE A WEEK OR NOT AT ALL.

WE PAY A CONTRACTOR TO LOWER OUR LAWNS AND CLEAN UP THE DEBRIS.

WHY ARE WE PAYING TWICE? WHY ARE WE HAVING THEM PICK UP OUR DEBRIS TWO TIMES TO RUN AROUND THE ROAD WITH THOSE HEAVY TRUCKS AND WEAR OUT OUR PAVEMENT WHICH WE HAVE RESERVED FOR AND HAVE TO FIX LATER. LET'S NOT DO THAT.

MAYBE WE CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

GET MORE PICKUPS IN THE AREAS WHERE WE NEED TO, BUT MAYBE LESS PICK UPS IN OTHER AREAS WHERE WE HAVE CONTRACTED HOA PEOPLE.

SORRY, WE'D LIKE TO FINISH MORE, BUT MAYBE NEXT TIME. THANK YOU.

>> BETH DELLINGER.

>> COUNSEL, BELL DELLINGER 104 WEST BEVERLY ROAD.

I LIVE IN JUPITER IN THE PINTS.

WE HAVE 210 HOMES.

I DON'T EVEN HAVE A 32 GALLON TRASH CAN.

A LOT OF US ARE SENIORS.

THIS LARGE TRASH CAN, NOT EVEN THE LARGER ONE.

CAN YOU MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR DIVISIONS? I KNOW MR. SIMON SAID IT'S BECAUSE OF THE EMPLOYEES.

BUT IF WE CAN HAVE STILL MANUAL COLLECTION IN SOME OF OUR DIVISIONS, THAT'S ALL I WANT TO ASK. THANK YOU.

>> WE DID HAVE ONE PERSON WHO DID NOT WISH TO SPEAK, BUT THEIR COMMENTS WERE COULD THE TOWN, ASK OR REQUIRE WASTE MANAGEMENT TO RUN BACKGROUNDS SECURITY CHECKS ON THEIR CONTRACTED EMPLOYEES.

THE WASTE-MANAGEMENT WORKERS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBSERVE PROPERTIES WHICH COULD BECOME BREAK-IN AND THEIR TARGETS. THAT WAS IT.

>> ANY FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BASED ON WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC?

>> I HAVE ONE FOLLOW-UP QUESTION.

IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS [NOISE] OR HOAS OR GROUPS THAT WANT DIFFERENT SIZES POTENTIALLY.

WHEN THIS THE EQUIPMENT BE ORDERED FOR THIS NEW CONTRACT? WHAT'S THE DEADLINE FOR THAT?

>> SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT DATE.

SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THE MARCH 1ST DEADLINE, WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION INTO WASTE MANAGEMENT AND THAT WOULD GIVE THEM THE ABILITY TO PERFORM ALL THE NECESSARY ORDERS.

IF PEOPLE WANT TO REQUEST A DIFFERENT SIZE, OR IF HOAS WANT TO REQUEST ON BEHALF OF THEIR COMMUNITY.

HOW CAN WE GET THAT FEEDBACK INTO THIS ORDER? IS THERE A WAY TO WORK THAT OUT?

>> IS THE TOWN AND STAFF AS WELL AS WORKING WITH WASTE-MANAGEMENT.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO WORK ON GETTING THAT INFORMATION OUT TO THE VARIOUS COMMUNITIES, IN ORDER TO GET FEEDBACK ON HOW THESE VARIOUS COMMUNITIES ARE GOING TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE THE REQUESTS FROM THE HOA OR SUBDIVISION FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, GENERAL, I WOULD WANT SOMETHING FROM A BOARD IF IT WERE GOING TO BE AN HOA MAKING THAT REQUEST.

IF THERE'S OTHER REGULAR RESIDENTS THAT WANT A LARGER SIZE AFTER THE FACT THAT DON'T NECESSARILY FALL INTO THAT.

THEY DO HAVE THE ABILITY, I BELIEVE IT'S 30 DAYS AFTER THE CONTRACT COMMENCEMENT DATE TO REQUEST A DIFFERENT SIZE.

>> WE COULD GET SOME OF THE CUSTOMIZATION.

IF ONE NEIGHBORHOOD WANTS 96, BUT ANOTHER WANTS 64, WE COULD GET THAT FEEDBACK IN BEFORE THE ORDER IS PLACED.

>> CORRECT.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> ONE MORE FOR JEFF. QUICK QUESTION.

>> IF I COULD JUST CLARIFY.

WITH REGARD TO THE CARTS, WE HAVE TO TELL WASTE MANAGEMENT AT LEAST 120 DAYS BEFORE THE COMMENCEMENT DATE.

THAT WOULD BE 120 DAYS BEFORE MARCH 1ST, 1ST IN NOVEMBER. EXCUSE ME, SORRY.

>> WHICH IS PLENTY OF TIME TO GET THE WORD OUT.

>> OKAY.

>> I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.

>> SURE.

>> WHERE THE CARTS MANUFACTURER?

>> ACTUALLY, WM IS PARTNERED WITH A [NOISE] NUMBER OF FIRMS AND I'M NOT POSITIVE WHICH FIRM,

[01:55:04]

WHETHER IT BE RARE, PACIFIC IS ONE IN CASCADE ENGINEERING ARE THE TWO PREFERRED VENDORS FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT.

THE REASON BEHIND THAT IS THEY USE A PERCENTAGE OF THE MATERIALS AS RECYCLED.

ALSO CONTAINED WITHIN THIS NEW AGREEMENT OUR SPECIFIC CART SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE COLOR DESIGN AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

THAT WE PREFER SO BETWEEN RARE AGAIN, CASCADE PUBLICLY, I CAN'T COMMIT AND THERE MAY BE SOME UP, BUT [OVERLAPPING].

>> ARE THEY DOMESTICALLY MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED? BECAUSE THAT WOULD TIMELINES AND DISTRIBUTION THAT JUST POPPED IN MY HEAD WHEN YOU MENTIONED THAT.

>> BOTH ARE DOMESTIC.

>> WHAT DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT TIME YOUR NEW FLEET IS GOING TO BE FULLY UP AND RUNNING AND ONLINE, THE NEW AUTOMATION TRUCKS A YEAR TO [NOISE] ALONG DOWN THE ROAD, YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE.

>> WE'VE COMMITTED TO ROLLING OUT THE AUTOMATED PROGRAM ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE, MARCH FIRST, 2023.

WE'LL HAVE OUR AUTOMATED FLEE CARTS.

>> YOU DON'T HAVE IT READY TO GO, OKAY.

>> THAT WAS OUR CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENT.

>> EVERYTHING IS DISTRIBUTION CHAIN THESE DAYS IN MY HEAD, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT.

>> CORRECT.

>> I DIDN'T SPECIFY THE AGE MAKE MODEL.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AUTOMATED TRUCKS. SURE.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> YES. JEFF, I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU BEFORE YOU GO, SIR.

OBVIOUSLY, MY COMMENTS AND I SPOKEN ABOUT THIS BEFORE, THE RESIDENTS LIKE THE ONE THAT JUST SPOKE, WHO DOES NOT FEEL THE NEED TO USE A CART.

CAN THEY APPLY FOR SOME PROGRAM WHERE IT WOULD BE FLAGGED FOR HER ADDRESS, MAYBE HER NEIGHBOR'S ADDRESS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO HAVE A SPECIFIC TYPE OF PICKUP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

>> YES AND I WANT TO RE-EMPHASIZE THE FACT THAT WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE SEMI-AUTOMATED AND THE SPECIAL AREAS AND NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE CAN'T FULLY AUTOMATE BECAUSE ABA COLA, BECAUSE OF THE ALLEYWAYS, AREAS LIKE THAT, SO WE'LL BE RUNNING BASICALLY REAR LOADERS FOR THOSE COLLECTION ROUTES.

YES. WE CAN LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE AS YOU INDICATED EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE KNOW SOME OF THOSE AREAS THAT HAVE THE SMALLER SQUARE FOOTPRINT, SOME HAVE CARPORT, SOME DON'T.

>> YEAH.

>> WHERE SPACE IS DEFINITELY A LIMITATION.

WE CAN WORK WITH THAT.

WE'LL OBVIOUSLY WORK WITH YOUR STAFF AND IDENTIFYING THOSE AREAS, TRYING TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT WOULD ENTAIL.

I THINK THAT'S REALLY FROM A ROUTING STANDPOINT.

BECAUSE IF IT'S LIKE WE CAN RUN THE SAME VEHICLE TO DO AVOCADO IN SOME OF THESE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS THAT QUALIFY FOR THIS STRAIGHT MAINTAIN CURRENT LEVEL, THEN YOU KNOW.

BUT WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND REINVENT OUR LOGISTICS PROGRAM [LAUGHTER] ON DEPLOYMENT AND TRUCKS AND PEOPLE AND THINGS LIKE THAT BECAUSE WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO THE NUMBERS THAT WERE REQUIRED BY THIS RFP.

>> YEAH. MY THING IS, I FEEL BAD FORCING SOMEBODY TO USE A CART IF THEY REALLY DON'T WANT TO USE IT AND BASICALLY LOOKING AT THEM AND SAYING, "IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE THE CART YOU'RE TRASH." IT ISN'T GETTING PICKED UP.

SO I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE IF THERE'S SOME SORT OF WAY WE CAN WORK WITH THOSE RESIDENTS.

BECAUSE THERE ARE RESIDENTS THAT THEY LITERALLY PRODUCE LIKE MAYBE A PUBLICS BAG FULL OF TRASH A WEEK.

>> YEAH.

>> TYPICALLY ELDERLY, MORE FRAIL PEOPLE AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE FORCING THEM TO DRAG A 6496 GALLON CART DOWN THEIR DRIVEWAY.

SO THAT'S ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS.

>> CURRENTLY, WE KNOW WHO THOSE RESIDENTS ARE.

IN OUR DRIVERS AND CRUISE ACTUALLY ARE PULLING DOWN, EVEN THERE'RE CANS NOW.

>> OKAY. SUSTAIN FOR THE AUTOMATED PARTS.

>> SO WE ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANY OF THAT, BUT WE'LL ADDRESS THE AUTOMATION PART OF IT.

>> OKAY.

>> INDEPENDENT WE'LL HAVE TO IDENTIFY AGAIN, AS I SAID.

>> TO RE-EMPHASIZE ANY RESIDENTS WHO ARE MEDICALLY UNABLE TO PERFORM THAT SORT OF DRAG, THEY WOULD STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE WASTE MANAGEMENT EITHER COME PULL THEIRS DOWN THE DRIVEWAY OR I DON'T WANT TO SPECULATE, BUT FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE A 96 GALLON CART IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MANY INSTANCES I DON'T RECYCLE A LOT, WE DON'T PRODUCE MORE THAN A BAG OR TWO OF TRASH.

>> YEAH.

>> WE'LL OFTEN SEE THE PERSON THAT DOES IT.

INSTEAD OF THAT, THEY DO A SEMI-AUTOMATED SERVICE.

THEY DON'T HAPPEN TO PICK IT UP AUTOMATED.

[02:00:02]

THEY HAPPEN TO REACH AND GRAB THE BAG OUT AND THROW IT IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND THEY MOVE ON.

BUT THERE IS THE ABILITY FOR PERSONNEL WHO ARE MEDICALLY UNABLE TO MOVE IT TO THE END TO PLACE IT INTO IT, INTO THE ACTUAL CART ITSELF AND THEN HAVE THE PERSONNEL COME GET IT, TAKE IT TO THE END, DUMP IT, AND THEN BRING IT BACK IF THAT'S NECESSARY.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> I GUESS ON THAT TOPIC, WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS MAYBE WE CAN KIND OF LOOK AT THE DEFINITION OF SPECIAL COLLECTION SERVICES TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE SOME OF THESE OTHER SITUATIONS OR GO BEYOND, YOU'RE SAYING SOMEONE'S MEDICALLY UNABLE, SOMEBODY WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF TRASH.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT JUST FROM THE COMMENTS HERE, I THINK WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS MAYBE AN EXPANDED DEFINITION, ESPECIALLY COLLECTION SERVICES, SO THAT THERE'S MORE FLEXIBILITY TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE OTHER SITUATIONS.

>> JUST FOLLOWING UP ON TWO RESIDENTS POINTS THEY MADE.

NUMBER 1, PICKING UP ON WHATEVER BO SAYS ALREADY WEIGHED IN ON JUST AN OBSERVATION TO OUR RESIDENT HERE ABOUT GOING OUT WITH JUST A BAG.

ALTHOUGH, I THINK THE CONTRACT ACTUALLY PROHIBITS PUTTING YOUR TRASH IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S GARBAGE CAN, WHICH IS KIND OF ABSURD.

THAT IS THE SOLUTION TO SOME DEGREE BECAUSE WE HAVE RESIDENTS I KNOW THAT JUST PUT OUT A BAG.

WELL, NOW WE'LL JUST SAY, "HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M NOT GOING TO PICK IT UP." BUT PICK ONE OF US TO PUT A CAN OUT OR THROW ONE BAG IN IT.

THAT WOULD BE A WIN-WIN.

IF THAT COULD BE DONE.

SO THAT IS A PRACTICAL SOLUTION.

IT MAY NOT WORK IN ALL AREAS.

THERE MAY BE UNABLY SITUATIONS.

BUT THAT IS THE PRACTICAL SITUATION.

AGAIN, WE'RE INTERESTED IN.

SO I JUST WANT TO BALANCE THAT IF THAT CAN BE DONE, CERTAINLY, WE'D ENCOURAGE OUR RESIDENTS TO DO THAT, BUT THEN TO PROVISION AS ALSO HAVE TO PROVIDE FOR WHICH, LIKE YOU SAID, YOU PROBABLY KNOW WHERE THOSE RESIDENTS ARE, BUT YOU WON'T KNOW THAT THOSE RESIDENTS WERE THE ONE BADGERS, RIGHT?

>> YEAH.

>> BUT YOU WEREN'T GOING UP FOR THOSE.

IT MAY BE THE CASE THAT CAN'T WALK IT FURTHER.

SO WE HAVE ALL THE SCENARIOS.

THE OTHER THING THOUGH IS MR. POSNER'S QUESTION, AND I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE IN THIS CONTRACT TO LEARN THIS, BUT EXHIBIT 13 LISTS A WHOLE SLEW OF NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE YARD WASTE, LAWN MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS, AND THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM PAYING THE FEE.

SO THEREIN, YOU'RE NOT PAYING THE FEE, WAYNE.

>> BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE CONTRACT.

>> NO, UNDERSTAND BUT YOU'RE NOT PAYING THE FEES.

ALL I'M SAYING THEREFORE, FOR THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF SERVICE, THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF NEIGHBORHOODS THAN THEY HAVE PICK-UP.

>> TO YOUR POINT I THINK THAT'S A GREAT POINT BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITIES AND HOAS THAT THEY COULD ACTUALLY APPLY FOR AN EXEMPTION.

THE AGREEMENT ACTUALLY PROVIDES FOR THAT.

FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE COMMON AREA THEY HAVE LET'S JUST SAY A LANDSCAPE FIRM THAT DOES MOST OF IT.

THEY WOULD BE EXEMPT, I THINK AT PART OF ADMIRALS COULD.

YEAH. WE COULD NAME IT THERE ON THE LIST.

YEAH, THAT'S AN ABILITY FOR FOLKS TO APPLY FOR AN EXTENSION.

>> I'M AMAZED THERE'S THREE PAGES OF THEM.

>> YEAH. RIGHT?

>> INCREDIBLE MIND. NEVER REALIZED THAT.

YES, UNDERSTAND.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

BACK TO COUNCIL.

ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR MOTIONS?

>> I HAVE ONE COMMENT. I JUST WANTED TO MENTION CONTROL.

NOW, WHEN WE FIRST DECIDED TO GO RFP, YEAH, I KNOW WE ALL MET AND SPOKE.

I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON GETTING THIS RFP OFF THE GROUND AND ALL OF THE STAFF.

WASTE MANAGEMENT AND THIS WAS A HEAVY LIFT.

WE TALK ABOUT IT AND I'M LIKE REALLY? [LAUGHTER] WELL, YOU GET IT DONE EXCELLENT JOB.

EVERYBODY WAS ALL. THERE'S TOO MANY PEOPLE TO NAME, BUT IT WAS JUST PRETTY EXCITING TO GET THIS DONE IN THIS MOMENT IN TIME.

>> THANK YOU VICE MAYOR. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAVE MY COMMENTS FOR THE TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS, BUT I REALLY WANT TO THANK THOMAS AND DAVID D AND [NOISE] I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY HOURS AND HOURS WE'VE SPENT GOING THROUGH THESE VARIOUS SCENARIOS THAT WE HEARD ABOUT TONIGHT, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE DOTTING THE I'S AND CROSSING T'S AND I WOULD BE REMISSIVE IF I DIDN'T MENTION THE TOWN ATTORNEY TOM BARRETT AS WELL, WHO WE'VE JUST GONE THROUGH THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, TRYING TO COME UP WITH A CONTRACT, AN AGREEMENT AND RFP THAT TAKES CARE OF 60,000 PEOPLE WITH A LEVEL OF CARE THAT ADDRESSES THE CONCERNS THAT WE HEAR IN TONIGHT.

I REALLY FEEL LIKE WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED THAT AND KUDOS TO THESE GUYS AND I COULDN'T, THE AMOUNT OF WORK WAS JUST INCREDIBLE, AND WE'VE DONE IT AND I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S RECORD TIME BUT WE DIDN'T

[02:05:03]

LET ANY GRASS GROW UNDER OUR FEET AND I DON'T WANT THAT IMPACTS TRASH PICKUP OR ANYTHING [LAUGHTER].

BUT THEY KEPT MOVING ALONG ON THIS.

SO THIS IS REALLY THE TEAM THAT DID IT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THAT.

>> I THINK TO JUST ADD ON THAT.

YEAH. I'M GRATEFUL WITH HOW IT ENDED UP, BECAUSE I'VE HAD MY ISSUES WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT IN GENERAL.

YOU GUYS HAVE ALWAYS REALLY COME THROUGH AND SERVED AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT, ASCENDING UP THE WAY IT IS AND THE FACT THAT WE GOT IT, THE STAFF GOT IT DONE EARLY SOURCES WELL BECAUSE THAT GIVES US A SIX MONTHS JUMPSTART ON GETTING THE WORD OUT SO THAT EACH COMMUNITY IN PERSON PULL THE CONTRACT HAS THE RIGHT TO PICK WHAT CART THEY WANT.

SO I KNOW THAT'S GOING TO BE A SIGNIFICANT EFFORT TO COMMUNICATE THAT.

BUT THAT IS GOING TO ENABLE MORE SATISFACTION OUT OF THE GATE WHEN PEOPLE REALIZE THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO HAVE INPUT ON THAT.

SO I THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>> I JUST WANT TO ADD, CONGRATULATIONS.

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE HALL.

I THINK YOU KNOW, AN HOUR-AND-A-HALF LATER OF TALKING ABOUT THIS, WE'RE ALL LEARNING ABOUT HOW COMPLICATED IT IS.

LOOKING AT THE PREVIOUS CONTRACT COMPARED TO THIS ONE, JUST THE LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY TO THE CARDBOARD SIZE, TO THE LISTING OF I THINK IT HAS EVERY LIST WE COULD EVER NEED.

AS A RESIDENT, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THIS ISSUE, I KNOW THERE'S MORE INFORMATION COMING OUT AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN READING IT, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF PAGES THIS DOCUMENT IS, BUT IT'S [LAUGHTER] A GOOD READ [LAUGHTER] I HAVE TO SAY [LAUGHTER].
