ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Ordinances. BACKGROUND The Ordinances were approved on first reading at the September 23, 1998 City Commission meeting. The City of Miami Beach has non-exclusive franchise agreements with five solid waste haulers: Eastern Environmental Services of Florida, (EESF); Lazaros Waste Recycling; Davis Sanitation, Inc.; Browning Ferris Industries; and Waste Management, Inc. After seven years of service to the City of Miami Beach, the agreements with each of the franchisees will expire on October 18, 1998. The Administration has held a series of meetings with the franchisees, and based on those meetings, the Administration is recommending a five year franchise renewal. The City's five commercial waste haulers have agreed to the following requirements which have been incorporated into the amendments to the Solid Waste Chapter 90 of the Miami Beach City Code. (See companion Item R5F.) They are: 1) Increased fines to the franchisees for violations related to container condition and size; AGENDA ITEM R P- DATE 1 0 77)-9 V • 2) Increased accountability for the area surrounding the container to the property line or within a radius of 10 feet regardless of whether it is included or secured within a dumpster; 3) The franchise renewal period has been reduced from seven years to five years; and 4) A 2% of annual gross contribution (payable monthly) to a "Public Right-of-Way Clean-Up Program" to be developed by the City to provide additional funds(totalling approximately $185,000 annually) to further clean the City's commercial districts. ANALYSIS The City's Commercial Solid Waste Franchisees have been fully apprised of the City's dissatisfaction with the conditions of commercial areas of the City and the need to provide additional assistance. They have agreed to become more proactive and accountable for the conditions of the businesses they service and the City at large. They have agreed to identify accounts in need of additional service and/or large containers; as well as improving conditions at and around the accounts they serve. By requiring larger container sizes, greater pick-up frequency and additional responsibility to service accounts, the haulers gross revenue will increase and consequently the City's franchise revenue(based on annual gross franchise fee)will also increase. Based on the foregoing discussions with the haulers,the Administration is recommending renewal of the franchise agreements for a five year period. CONCLUSION The City Commission should adopt the Ordinances on second and final reading.
