CASSCLBGRRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of June 8, 2020 — Regular Meeting Page 6 of 9 MOTION: Vice Mayor Hufford moved to adopt Ordinance 20-1533 on second and final reading, as presented. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Busch. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5-0. B. Ordinance 20-1534 — Amending Chapter 70 Solid Waste of the City Code of 0rdinnn(,.es_ The City Clerk read Ordinance 20-1534 by title, as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES, PART II, CHAPTER 70 — SOLID WASTE, SECTION 70-1 TO SECTION 70-100 PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Notice of Public Hearing: The Notice of Public Hearing relative to Ordinance 20-1534 was advertised in the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday, May 28, 2020. Staff Presentation: City Manager Randy Newlon stated that Ordinance 20-1534 provides for amendments to Chapter 70 Solid Waste of the City Code of Ordinances, primarily to establish an exclusive commercial waste franchise system. It still provides for an exclusive contractor to perform residential solid waste pickup services on behalf of the city. It also now includes elimination of the City's current non-exclusive franchise system for commercial solid waste and switching to an exclusive franchise system, which would grant through a competitive process: 1) one exclusive franchise to a commercial waste hauler for the collection of all putrescible commercial waste within the City limits, which would include waste set out in dumpsters, commercial carts, and roll -off compactors, and 2) one exclusive franchise to a commercial waste hauler to collect all non-putrescible wastes set out in open -top roll -off containers within the City limits. The ordinance will render the Code much more simplified as much of the detail previously placed there will now be found in the individual, exclusive franchise agreements. Mr. Newlon advised that the ordinance had been updated since its approval on first reading at the May 11, 2020 City Commission meeting to include a new Section II which addresses the transition of existing franchise agreements to ensure a smooth transition period while the City switches to the new exclusive system for commercial solid waste. Upon approval of Ordinance 20-1534 City staff will reach out to the existing franchisees to request extension of their existing franchise agreements to December 31, 2020. These extensions will be brought to the City Commission for approval at a future City Commission meeting, tentatively July 2020. City staff also intends to release a solicitation for the exclusive commercial solid waste agreements. Award of the new agreements is anticipated to be brought to the City Commission in late summer of 2020. This will allow the City time to prepare for and execute the transition with various parties, with the goal to fully complete the transition in early 2021. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City Budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Public Works Director recommended adoption of Ordinance 20-1534 on second reading.
