RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Revision of the 2014 Non-Exclusive Long Term Franchise Agreement for the Collection of Commercial Solid Waste - Patrick T. Johnson, Waste Services Department Director

That the Board take the following action:

A. Approve the revisions to the 2014 Non-Exclusive Long Term Franchise Agreement for the Collection of Commercial Solid Waste form, for the period effective January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017, as provided in Article 51 "Merger Clause"; and

B. Authorize the County Administrator to sign the revised Non-Exclusive Long Term Franchise Agreement for the Collection of Commercial Solid Waste with current Board-approved Commercial Solid Waste Haulers, collecting commercial solid waste in the unincorporated areas of Escambia County, in accordance with the terms of the revised Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

In 2008 the Florida Legislature enacted HB 7135 which created Section 403.7032, Florida Statutes. This action generated a statewide recycling goal of 75% to be achieved by 2020. In addition, HB 7243 was passed in 2010 to address issues concerning the state’s 75% recycling goal. The revisions to the Non-Exclusive Long Term Franchise Agreement enhance the County’s ability to accomplish the statewide recycling goal of 75% by the year 2020 as well as complements HB 7243 requiring certain commercial properties to make provisions for recycling receptacles”.
