The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the resolution calling for a public
hearing pursuant to Ordinance No, 91-2742 to consider raising the Franchise Fee paid to the City by
private waste haulers from the current ten percent (10%) to twelve percent (12%) of the franchisee's
total montWy gross receipts.
BACKGROUND
Under Chapter 14A of the Miami Beach City Code, Section 14A-16 provides for regulations, fees,
and procedures, and specifies that the City has the option of raising the Franchise Fee once yearly,
said raises not to exceed two percent and shall be imposed only by resolution after a public hearing
and thirty days prior notice to all Franchise Waste Contractors. The last such increase was effective
on October 3, 1992. It is proposed that a public hearing be held on the regular Commission Meeting
of September 13, 1995, and that public notices be sent the week of August 14, 1995.
ANALYSIS
The proposed Franchise Fee increase from ten percent (10%) to twelve percent (12%) will generate
an additional estimated revenue of$180,000.00 per year.
