ITEM BACKGROUND On August 21, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners was briefed at its regular meeting on the various Monroe County solid waste contracts and was advised that the current industry standard for solid waste contracts is for long-term agreements that exceed five years, but Section 21-71(c) of the Monroe County Code currently limits collection agreements to a term of five years. In order for future solid waste collection agreements to be consistent with the current industry standard, a code amendment is needed. This ordinance will replace "five" with "ten", so that the ordinance will read that"each collection agreement shall not exceed a term of ten years..."
