MEMORANDUM
To: Danny Kolhage
Clerk of the Court
From: Barry Boldissar gsK3
Director, Environmental Management
Subject: Staff Recommendations for Item J2, BOCC Meeting of
12/22/93
Date: December 22, 1993
Staff recommendations should read as follows:
(1) Recognize and accept as completed the Cost of Services Study
and Agreed Upon Procedures Engagement prepared by Morris
Buchanan and Associates and presented before the Board this
date.
(2) Direct staff to meet with individual franchise operators to
review findings of cost of service and operational analyses;
to receive input from franchisees; and to determine the
feasibility of establishing new contracts with pricing
structures and levels of service based on the findings of the
Cost of Service Study, the Agreed Upon Procedures Engagement
and the operational audits of all franchise operations.
(3) Staff to report back to the BOCC on January 20, 1994 with
specific recommendations regarding the implementation of a
solid waste collection system upon expiration of the existing
contracts on September 30, 1994.
As a result of staff analysis and meetings with individual
franchisees, one possible recommendation could be the
establishment of a franchise system consisting of an.
appropriate number of service areas whereby operational
efficiencies are maximized and Monroe County rate payers are
offered the lowest possible cost of service. Such a system
could reflect a revamping of service areas from seven (7) to
three ( 3) to be serviced by existing franchisees and/or County
Personnel.
However, if it is not possible to continue with the current
franchise operators in some appropriate number of service
areas, staff could then recommend that the County solicit bids
for either three (3 ) or possibly one (1) service area with bid
documents to be issued no later than March 1, 1994.
