County Commission Meeting
June 20, 2018
Agenda Item Number: P.7
Agenda Item Summary #4270
BULK ITEM: No DEPARTMENT: County Attorney's Office
TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Cheryl Sullivan (305) 292 -4536
11:30 A.M.
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion, direction, and possible approval of a request from two
of the County's solid waste collection franchises to be allowed to operate as specialty haulers but to
be exempted from paying the specialty hauler license fees. They are currently contracted to
exclusively provide collection services of residential and commercial solid waste and recycling in
their assigned territories
ITEM BACKGROUND: At the Board's May 16", 2018 BOCC meeting, Commissioner Neugent
presented an agenda item to discuss a request from two of the County's Franchisees, Keys Sanitary
Services, and Marathon Garbage, to be exempt from paying the annual special hauler license fee of
$1,500.00. After a brief discussion, the Board directed staff to provide more information on the
underlying issues. This item has been drafted in response to that direction in order to better facilitate
a continuation of the discussion.
The Franchisees request or question was also raised at the Board's May 17, 2017 meeting when it
adopted Ordinance 003 -2017. Ordinance 003 -2017 revised the special hauler program to eliminate
the "honor system" and, as requested by the Franchisee, to no longer require the Franchisees to have
a special hauler license for collection services covered under their Amended and Restated Solid
Waste and Recycling Collection Franchise ( "Agreement ").
The current Monroe County Code ( "Code ") only requires Franchisees to obtain a special hauler's
license if they are engaging in the business of specialty hauling that is outside the services covered
under the Agreement. The Agreement requires the Franchisees to pick up residential white goods,
furniture, etc. (specifically excluding Construction & Debris "C &D" waste), but there is no
requirement for the Franchisees to service commercial specialty items (C &D, sludge, etc.) The
Agreements require a Franchisee to meet the specialty hauler demands as described above, but the
Agreement does not specify that they must operate as a specialty hauler and engage in the specialty
hauling business. Neither the Agreement nor the Code requires for special waste, which is outside of
the scope of service of Agreement i.e. C &D waste, to be delivered to the County's transfer stations.
Ordinance 003 -2017 simply requires anyone who wants to engage in the specialty hauler business,
and service residents (for items such as C &D removal) and for special waste commercial businesses,
to be licensed by the County and pay the appropriate fee.
The County Attorney previously provided a memorandum regarding equal protection considerations
as part of the adoption of Ordinance 003 -2017, when the Franchisees made the same request for an
exemption (See attached). In the event that the Board directs staff to prepare an Ordinance amending
the Code to provide an exemption or waiver of the special hauler fee to the Franchisees, the Board
should be mindful of equal protection concerns. The specialty hauler license does not involve a
fundamental right or suspect classification, so the "rational basis test" is applied. The rational basis
test necessitates that any ordinance amending the Code to provide an exemption to our Franchisees
bear a rational and reasonable relationship to a legitimate (governmental) objective, which cannot be
arbitrary and capricious. At this time staff is struggling to articulate a legitimate governmental
objective that is served by providing an exemption. It is staff's recommendation to not grant an
exemption given that the Code no longer requires the Franchisees to obtain a specialty hauler license
for service covered under their Agreement with the County and only requires the license fee to be
paid if they wish to operate as a specialty hauler and participate in the market with other specialty
haulers.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: At the October 19, 2016 meeting, BOCC directed
staff to work with the specialty haulers to develop a revised program to eliminate the "honor system"
reporting while ensuring the new system captured the revenue stream that was intended by the
existing system. At the January 18, 2017 meeting, the BOCC gave direction on options presented.
At its meeting on March 15, 2017, the BOCC approved advertising a public hearing to be held at the
regularly scheduled BOCC meeting on April 12, 2017 in Marathon, FL at 3 PM to consider adoption
of this proposed ordinance. At least one commissioner voiced concerns about the anti - scavenger
language in the ordinance which would prevent homeowners from placing items curbside for pick up
by those who may be able to use or may need the items and therefore an alternative version of the
ordinance was drafted and presented at the May 17, 2017 meeting. At the request of staff, the Board
continued the public hearing to the May 17, 2017 meeting in Key West, FL and Ordinance 003 -2017
(the version without anti - scavenger provisions) was adopted by the Board. The Franchisee
exemption request was also raised at that time, but the Board adopted the Ordinance without
providing an exemption or wavier.
At the May 16, 2018 BOCC meeting, the Board discussed agenda item M4. Commissioner Neugent:
Discussion a case can be made and has been, that our franchise, Marathon Garbage Service and Keys
Sanitary Service, who are required to deliver solid waste to our transfer station should not be
required to obtain a Special Hauler license. May it be recommended that we exempt them from
being required to acquire a license that is covered by already being our service provider and directed
staff to bring back a comprehensive item for discussion. After a brief discussion, the Board directed
staff to agenda a discussion item for the June 20, 2018 meeting and provide further information.

It has come to staff's attention that two of our Franchisees have asked to be exempted from the
Specialty Hauler Provisions as per the Monroe County Code. Initially staff was advised that
these Franchisees did not want to be required to obtain a specialty hauler license, but under the
current provision of the Monroe County Code they were required to have a license. In an effort
to address their concerns, the provisions of the special hauler ordinances were revised to remove
"collector" from the language. Under the revised ordinance a Franchisee would now only be
required to obtain a specialty hauler license if they wanted to operate as a specialty hauler and
participate in the market.
If the Board of County Commissioners wants to exempt the Franchisees and provide for an
exemption in the proposed ordinance, the Board should be mindful of equal protection
considerations in their lawmaking deliberations. In cases in which the equal protection challenge
does not involve a fundamental right or suspect classification, the "rational basis test" is applied.
"To satisfy the rational basis test, an [ordinance] must bear a rational and reasonable relationship
to a legitimate [governmental] objective, and cannot be arbitrarily or capriciously imposed ""
"There is a strong presumption of validity if there is a rational relationship between the disparity
of treatment of those persons or groups and a legitimate governmental objective""'.
1
The Board can make distinctions among persons and groups, i.e., provide exemption for the
County's Franchisees, without violating the equal protection laws ° so long as there is a rational
basis for doing so. If the County were challenged, the burden would be on plaintiff to
demonstrate that there is not a rational basis for the alleged disparity by showing that the
ordinance intentionally and improperly treats him, her, or it in a different manner from similarly -
situated persons or groups
While staff does not recommend providing an exemption to the Franchisees, if the Board wishes
to do so it may, as long as it articulates that the classification, i.e., exemption of the Franchisees,
bears a rational relationship to a legitimate governmental objective.
' A court must analyze an equal protection challenge that does not involve a fundamental right or suspect
classification under the rational basis test. Progressive Ain. Ins. Co. v. Eduardo J. Garrido D.C. P.A. 42 Fla. L.

SUBJECT: Draft Plan for Specialty Hauler Fees
The Specialty Hauler ordinance is being changed to eliminate unenforceable provisions
such as monthly reporting of customer invoices and payment of a percentage of
revenue to the County. Additional recommendations include the addition of licensing
fees for transfer stations; one time (per project fees) for subcontractors who are under
national contracts with developers; limiting the number annual licenses; and, setting
the fees by resolution rather than in the ordinance. The fee resolution will be adopted
by the BOCC during its budget process in July or August 2017.
The amounts of the fees are NOT included in the proposed ordinance. The following are
the fees staff is expects to recommend during the budget process. It includes a change
based upon comments at the April 12, 2017 BOCC meeting to make the one time (per
project) fee equal to the annual license fee to preclude its use to circumvent annual
license caps.
First time application fee:
License fee*
$ 250.00
$ 1,000.00 annually
(* The license fee covers all materials being hauled and one truck decal)
Addition vehicle decals $ 250.00 per vehicle per year
Transfer Station fee: $20,000.00 annually
Fee (per project site) for a contractor to haul
C &D as part of a developer's project team * *: $ 1,250.00 (per project site)
( ** General Contractors may still haul and dispose of their own C &D without a separate license)
