SYNOPSIS: The Florida Legislature is currently considering bills (SB 540 and HB 885) amending the regulations applicable to secondary metal recycling businesses. If passed and approved by the Governor, state law will expressly preempt local ordinances regulating secondary metal recyclers. However, local ordinances enacted prior to March 1, 2012 will be grandfathered in and will not be preempted by state regulation. Both SB 540 and HB 885 include provisions that would limit the hours of operation for secondary metals recyclers. Ordinance 2012-07 establishes more flexible hours, than those proposed in the bills, of operation for purchase transactions for secondary metals recyclers - from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Sunday. CONSIDERATIONS: The Florida Legislature is currently considering two bills, Senate Bill 540 and House Bill 885, that amend the regulations applicable to secondary metal recycling businesses. The economic downturn has seen the value of metals rise significantly, prompting an increase in metal theft crimes statewide. SB 540 and HB 885, if passed, would enact more stringent regulations for both secondhand dealers and secondary metal recyclers. Among the proposed regulations, the bills would: require that secondary metal recyclers maintain and daily transmit an electronic record of all the previous day's purchase transactions to the appropriate law enforcement official; revise the timeframe that secondary metal recyclers Public Hearings 501 PAGE 1 OF 3 - February 13, 2012 are required to maintain purchase transaction records; limit the liability of secondary metals recyclers for the conversion of motor vehicles to scrap metal; and modify the acceptable forms of payment. In addition, both bills would establish restrictions on the hours of operation for purchase transactions of secondary metals. The available hours for purchase transactions, as proposed by SB 540 and HB 885, would be from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, limited hours on Saturday, and no hours of operation permitted on Sundays. Many Winter Springs residents and businesses utilize the 419 Metal & Auto Recycling Center on Old Sanford-Oviedo Road for secondary metal purchase transactions. In Staff's opinion, the proposed restricted hours would unfairly impact the Winter Springs residents and businesses who routinely make purchase transactions of secondary metals. Many customers cannot make it to 419 Metal Recycling during normal weekday business hours, and having the additional time in the early evening or on weekends is beneficial. Ordinance 2012-07 establishes the allowable hours of operation for purchase transactions at secondary metals recyclers from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Sunday. The term "purchase of secondary metals" includes purchase transactions for regulated metals property, restricted regulated metals property, and ferrous metals. SB 540 and HB 885, as currently written, propose to expressly preempt local ordinances regulating secondary metal recyclers unless the City enacts its own regulations prior to March 1, 2012. Ordinance 2012-07 is scheduled for Second Reading on February 27, 2012 and would therefore not be preempted by the upcoming legislation. In preparing this Ordinance, Staff consulted with the owner of 419 Metal & Auto Recycling Center. The 419 Metal & Auto Recycling Center is not currently open for purchase transactions on Sundays; however, 419 Metals and other similar businesses in Winter Springs would potentially not have the option to execute purchase transactions with customers on Sundays and be limited in their hours for customer purchase transactions on Saturdays if SB 540 and HB 885 are passed, in the absence of local regulations. FISCAL IMPACT: Ordinance 2012-07 has no direct fiscal impact on the City of Winter Springs. The Ordinance establishes allowable hours of operation for purchase transactions at secondary metal recyclers that would be more flexible than the restricted hours currently proposed by the Florida Legislature. The restricted hours as proposed by the Legislature could have a detrimental fiscal impact on the businesses that conduct secondary metal recycling and the residents that use these services.
