AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise a public hearing to consider approval of an
ordinance amending Section 21-71 of the Monroe County Code extending the allowable term of solid
waste collection agreements from five years to ten years.
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..."
