SUBJECT:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING MIAMI BEACH CITY CODB 14A-3 TO
PROVIDE THAT OWNERS OF TOWNHOUSES OR MULTI-FAMILY
RESIDENCES OF EIGHT DWELLING UNITS OR LESS MAY NOT BLECT
TO USE A FRANCHISE WASTE CONTRACTOR INSTEAD OF THE CITY
ON OR AFTER FEBRUARY 13, 1993.
The bid documents under Bid No. 14-92/97 dated October 29,
1992 provide that the city award to the contractor all sing1e-
family and multi-family dwellings of eight units or less now being
served by the city. The contract with I.W.S. was approved by the
city commission at a special commission meeting on Wednesday,
January 27, 1993.
The city's Garbage Ordinance, as codified in city Code 14A-3,
provides that owners and operators of townhouses and multi-family
residences of eight units or less shall have an election to use a
Franchise Waste Contractor instead of collection by the city.
The attached Ordinance, which will remove the right of the
owners or operators of townhouses or multi-family residences of
eight dwellings or less to elect to use a Franchise Waste
Contractor, is necessary so as to provide a stable base of
customers for the Contractor under Bid No. 14-92/97.
The attached Ordinance will not impair the right of those
customers who will have already made an election prior to February
13, 1993.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the attached Ordinance
be passed removing the election right of owners or operators of
townhouses and multi-family residences of eight dwelling units or
less, so as to provide a stable base of customers for the
Contractor under Bid No. 14-~2/97.
