The Workshop Meeting was called to discuss the proposed rate increase requested
by Industrial Waste Services. Mr. John Jennings of I.W.S. distributed copies of
a refuse rate evaluation which consisted of the background and circumstances
occurring at the County level which caused the County to raise their disposal
rates from $9.75 per ton to $18.00 per ton. Seminole County has had problems
with compliance over the last several years with the Department of Environmental
Regulation. They hired a consulting firm and it was their recommendation that
should they desire to bring the landfill into compliance which was necessary in
order for them to keep the landfill open, it was going to cost a substantial
amount of money and as a result, the rates were raised.
The Commission discussed the rates and various methods of collection.
The Commission asked to see the tonnage receipts in order to substantiate the
tonnage that I.W.S. has taken to the landfill. They also asked to see whatever
financials I.W.S. has, either audited or unaudited as to the operating costs of
their business and if I.W.S. could break it down as to the cost of operating in
Winter Springs.
The Workshop Meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary T. Norton,
City Clerk
