PEZSENT : Mayor H. Larry Bender Vice Mayor Henry Schumann Councilman Norman Abramowitz Councilman Irving Katz Councilman . Joseph Schreiber John P. Kelly, City Manager Mitchell S. Kraft, City Attorney Karen Jackson, Secretary ***************************************************************** 1. DISCIISSiON regarding Household Hazardous Waste Program and trash collection stations. C/M Abramowitz said this meeting was called at the request of the Broward League of Cities. He said the Broward League has asked that each city make a determination as to what is in the best interest of their individual city regarding the trash collection stations and the household hazardous waste. C/M Abramowitz said the municipalities were recently presented with the following three items and were asked to make a decision as to what each city wanted: 1) MRF, 2) Hazardous Waste and 3) Trash transfer stations. C/M Abramowitz said most of the cities in Broward County opted for the MRF and they told the County that they were not interested in the program for trash transfer stations and hazardous waste. He said it is his opinion that the County cannot walk away from this, but they will not agree with the cities. He said the reason for this is because they have already leased the land, have put in the installations, are paying the fees and as a result, they are not getting any revenue from any of the cities. C/M Abramowitz said the unincorporated areas have the right to use the trash transfer stations. He said the problem was that the County leased land at exorbitant rates. V/M Schumann asked who owns the land that the County has leased and C/M Abramowitz said private individuals. C/M Abramowitz said there were two suggestions made. He said one of the suggestions was to combine the hazardous waste with the trash transfer stations, which they agreed with. He said the second suggestion was to have the cost and fees come from ad valorem taxes, which they refused to do. C/M Abramowitz said all of the money being spent for the unincorporated areas are being paid from ad valorem taxes. He said the County is presenting the cities with a menu requesting whatever service is requested. He said Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs and Pompano Beach have their own trash transfer stations and they are the only cities able to use these stations. C/M Abramowitz said North Lauderdale does not want to pay for any trash transfer stations. Mayor Veltri of Plantation had suggested City Council Workshop Meeting 1/8/93/KJ Page 2 that a user fee be charged to those utilizing the trash transfer stations based on tonnage or cubic yards. C/M Abramowitz said Coconut Creek has opted to go the maximum of two and one-half days per week. He said for every dollar increase in the tipping fees, the increase on a single-family home is $.17 and an increase on a multi -family home is $.10. He referred to the menu which gives approximate costs. V/M Schumann asked if these fees are based on the action the County took by leasing the land and C/M Abramowitz said the fees are based on the tipping fee plus their expenses. Further discussion was held regarding the cost to operate the trash transfer stations. C/M Katz said the determination of the 50% + 1 will be made based on how Fort Lauderdale votes. C/M Katz said Fort Lauderdale is not interested in the trash transfer stations. C/M Katz said Fort Lauderdale has their own facility and they know that whatever they decide to do is going to decide what the rest of the cities will be forced to do. C/M Abramowitz said Hollywood has their own trash transfer station and Guy Roakum had stated that anybody in Broward County is welcome to use their trash transfer station free of charge. Mayor Bender said the purpose of this meeting is for the Council to give their opinion as to what is best for the City in writing to the Broward League. C/M Abramowitz referred to the cost factors involved with this program (See Attachment 1). He said the difference is that one is based on population and one is based on usage. He said the Broward League of Cities is not deferring this. He said the small cities have as much right to express an opinion as anyone else. C/M Schreiber asked what is currently done with the bulk trash by the City and C/M Abramowitz said it is taken to the dump. C/M Schreiber asked how much the City currently pays for this and C/M Abramowitz said it is part of the contract. C/M Schreiber asked if the City needs to be involved with a trash transfer station and C/M Abramowitz said he is opposed to the City of Tamarac being involved with a trash transfer station, with the exception that it can be equitable and inexpensive to the residents and used gardening and tree trimmings as an example for this need. C/M Abramowitz said the municipalities have a good opportunity to get a great deal with the County at present. C/M Schreiber asked if the County can take the funds out of ad valorem and C/M Abramowitz said at present, the County refuses to do this. C/M Abramowitz said the County wants the cities to raise their taxes. C/M Katz asked if any of the surplus vested in the City of Tamarac is supposed to be subsidized. C/M Abramowitz said the County has changed their position several times. He said they are willing to take a portion of their surplus and possibly doing the HAZMET and the trash transfer together, which would reduce it to a degree. City Council Workshop Meeting 1/8/93/KJ Page 3 C/M Katz said the City is committed to the MRF. He said the MRF is going to be subsidized by part of the ten million dollars surplus. He asked if any of the surplus is going to be used toward the trash transfer station. C/M Abramowitz said for one year the County would be willing to subsidize the MRF and after that there are no promises. He asked how Mr. Kelly views this and if the City has not spent an inordinate amount of money clearing Land Section 7. Mr. Kelly said much of Land Section 7 was fenced off and the Broward Sheriff's Office spent an extensive amount of time patrolling it. He said there has been a lot of man hours spent on Land Section 7, including Public Works, to maintain it. He said he receives calls from residents asking what to do with various materials, such as old paint and other such items. He said the County tells the residents that they,cannot do anything with them because they live in the City of Tamarac and there is no facility for hazardous waste materials available to Tamarac residents. Further discussion was held regarding this. C/M Katz asked what kind of liability does Tamarac have until this is resolved. Mr. Kraft said there is a problem regarding the hazardous waste collection. C/M Abramowitz suggested that a minimal fee be charged by the County, such as $2.00 per car or such other reasonable charge, and C/M Schreiber agreed that the user pay a fee. V/M Schumann asked who the verified users are and C/M Abramowitz said when a person goes to the trash transfer station, identification is required in order to use the facility. Further discussion was held regarding a commercial hauler utilizing the station. Mr. Kelly asked what the expected conclusion of this meeting is to be and C/M Abramowitz said the Broward League is asking what Tamarac wants to suggest to the Broward League towards their recommendations to the County regarding this. C/M Schreiber said a user fee is the most equitable way to handle this. He said the residents need access to a trash transfer station for hazardous waste. Mayor Bender read from a memo dated December 29, 1992 from Walter Falck (See Attachment 2). C/M Katz said Tamarac had an opportunity to use barricades around Land Section 7 to decrease dumping. C/M Abramowitz said he hears that a user fee is the Expression of Interest by Council. He requested that a stipulation be added in the letter to the Broward League, that a suggestion be made to the County that the user fee be set up so that it is affordable and possibly go only for the Hazmet. Discussion was held regarding the possibilities of a Hazmet. V/M Schumann asked if this will be in addition to the pending garbage contract. C/M Abramowitz said it will have no affect on it. Discussion was held regarding the various reasons to have access to a trash transfer station. C/M Schreiber suggested that it be recommended to the Broward League that a user fee be established based on an equitable and affordable rate subject to City approval. City Council Workshop Meeting 1/8/93/KJ Page 4 CONSENSUS OF OPINION: TAPE 2 Mayor Bender suggested that for Risk Manager. He said he Kelly regarding this. ALL AGREED the City pursue filling the vacancy has indicated his concerns to Mr. Mr. Kelly said he has discussed this with Mayor Bender a number of times. He said he recognizes the need for Risk Management. He said Larry DuPre, possible new Personnel Director, is to come aboard on January 18, 1993 and there will be new criteria and guidelines set for a Risk Manager. He said the City Attorney deals closely with the Risk Manager. Discussion was held regarding this. C/M Schreiber asked what the Risk Manager's duties are and Mr. Kelly said the duties are partly preventative and to protect the City. C/M Schreiber asked if Gallagher Bassett is doing any of the Risk Management duties at present for the City. Mr. Kraft said Gallagher Bassett is the claims company and Gallagher is the insurance company. C/M Schreiber said the Risk Manager needs to know something about claims in order to stop faulty claims. Further discussion was held regarding the duties of a Risk Manager. C/M Abramowitz asked why the Risk Manager should be under the direction of the City Manager rather than under the City Attorney. Mr. Kelly said all Staff members are under the direction of the City Manager. Mayor Bender said under the City Charter, Council is only responsible for hiring two people, the City Manager and the City Attorney. He said anyone else who is hired must be under the City Manager. He said he does not want a bumper between the Risk Manager and the City Manager, but they should work closely together and be a separate entity only to be responsible to the City Manager. Mr. Kraft said the Code provisions are written so that the Risk Manager would work closely with the City Manager and the City Attorney. Mr. Kelly said Staff will move quickly to get a Risk Manager onboard. C/M Katz asked if the Safety Coordinator position will be reviewed and possibly diffuse that position and Mr. Kelly said those recommendations will be made following the new Personnel Director taking position. Mayor Bender said he has been requested by a number of people to start another committee called the Cable T.V. Committee. He said this committee would act as a buffer to the residents so that the City Staff is not besieged with calls and letters regarding the cable franchise. C/M Abramowitz said he has no objection to having a pacifying committee, but to be sure that this would be an extension of the City and done by resolution. Mr. Kraft said the committee would be subject to Council approval. C/M Abramowitz said there are some committees in the City which are strictly advisory. Discussion was held regarding the various committees within the City. City Council Workshop Meeting 1/8/93/KJ Page 5 Mr. Kraft said mechanisms can be applied to the committee. C/M Katz suggested the Council allow the City Manager and City Attorney to make some recommendations to Council as to what they would look for in this committee prior to publicizing it. CONSENSUS OF OPINION: ALL AGREED Mr. Kelly said Mike Vonder Meulen, Senior Planner, attended the Broward School Board meeting to represent the City and will be reporting to him about the results of their meeting. Mr. Kelly said the City received a lot of calls following the hurricane regarding concerns of the safety of their roofs and the quality of inspections in the City. C/M Schreiber said the City needs to review the entire procedure and possibly make improvements. He requested a meeting of Council regarding this. C/M Katz suggested that C/M Schreiber visit the Building Department and go through their procedures. Discussion was held regarding the inspection process. With no further business, Mayor Bender ADJOURNED this meeting at 10:45 a.m. CAROL A.

Skin burns and disfigurement from splashing battery acid, fire caused by an exploding aerosol can stored too close to the stove, or an overnight fish kill resulting from dumping toxicants down the storm sewer are examples of acute dangers caused by hazardous products. Chronic effects: gradual and occur through repeated exposure over an extended period of time. Headache and troubled thinking caused by carbon monoxide leaking from an appliance, allergic reactions that occur each time you open the cupboard where the fragrant cleaning products are stored, or the slow Pollution of groundwater resulting from the disposal of small amounts of leftover herbicide poured in the ground in the back yard are examples of chronic dangers caused by hazardous substances. o Hazardous waste carelessly tossed in the garbage has been responsible for serious injyries to refuse .corkers and damage to disposal equipment and facilities. b. o Hazardous waste poured down a storm drain will be carried -untreated --directly to waterways where they can interfere with aquatic life and wildlife and affect the quality of surface water and ground water. (One quart of used oil will foul the taste of 250,000 gallons of water).. o Pouring waste down the drain puts it directly into septic tanks or sewage treatment plants, which often cannot filter out or properly treat hazardous materials. This can lead to contamination of groundwater or surface waters where treatment. plants discharge. o Waste dumped in a ditch or backyard can poison local plant life and wildlife, contaminate the soil, compromise the health of children and adults contacting the soil, and filter through the soil into the groundwater. If the ground becomes saturated, the waste may also run overland to the nearest waterway. o Improper storage or use of hazardous products in the home may increase the risk of accidental poisoning or injuries. (26% of all exposures reported to the Florida Poison Control Center were caused by household products). o No matter how solid waste is managed - landfilling, incineration, recycling, or composting - it is necessary to remove the hazardous materials from the waste stream and provide proper treatment. Waste -to -Energy facilities are not designed to treat hazardous wastes - even those generated from.households. Air pollution and toxic ash which must be landfilled result from the incineration of household hazardous waste. Disposing of hazardous wastes in a landfill is not an effective solution. Toxic chemical leachate could be potentially harnful to our water supplies. In composting processes, hazardous waste will render the end product unmarketable II. , roaram philosophY To provide and promote environmentally sound household hazardous waste management practices Countywide, with maximum public participation; providing facilities and -rograms for proper disposal of hazardous waste minimizing the health and environmental risks associated with improper disposal of these materials. 2 IIx. fiummary gf FY 99„-r,foarrae Activity (10/1/91 -- 9/30/92) Number gf Removed: Participants: 41,314 Hagte Hazardous Material: 87,056 lbs.

Mayor Fardelmann, Commissioner Moore, Commissioner Rasis. and Vice Mayor Yokota arrived late. The Executive Director, Kr. Walter Faick, was also in attendance. The following guests were also presents .Mr. Jerry Ranuart, City Administrator for Lighthouse Point; Assistant County Administrator Steve Alexander, Mr. Peter Foye of the Office of Integrated Waste Management, Mr. Joe Moss, Chair of TAC for the Resource Recovery Board and Ms. Dian* Phillips, neober of TAC for the Resource Recovery Board. President Goldsmith stated that the sole purpose Of this special meeting was to addrass the latest and final options that may be presented by the County Admin- istrator on three elements of their co-ordinated waste program. Information was distributed to the Board members at the last regular meeting on December 3rd. Be hoped that the members of the Board had a chance to study the options in depth. He commented that the TAC members of the Resource Recovery Board meet on a regular basis -and have made recommendations and decisions as to how the cities should proceed. However, the elected officials of each city are moving in a totally different direction. It is important that both groups got together and advise the County Administrator, as well as the representatives on the Resource Recovery board, of their decistions. Mayor Liobexman, a member of the Resource Recovery Board, stated that she felt the purposi of the meeting was to give her some direction as to what the Cities rant to get from the County in torso of *'comprehensive recycling program and to come to some common ground on the Trash Transfer Stations, Household Hazardous Waste, and recycling education. C/M Abramowitz's main concerns were (a) why the trash transfer stations and hazardous material facilities could not be combined to keep costs dorm; and (b) • how these additions to the current program will be paid for. He stated that the City of Tamarac was in favor of funding by usage as Opposed to population. The trash transfer stations and hatardous material programs are a necessity to keep Brow*rd County clean. He felt it should be a Broward County program and cost sharing should be done on an equitable basis. Mr. Peter Foy* of OM agreed that putting the two programs togetber wade fiscal sense. They were presented separately so that the cities could evaluate them Individually. C/M Abranowitx restated his question concerning pa"ont for the programs to County Administrator Jack Osterholt, suggesting a possible ad valorem tax. Mr. Osterholt feels that the responsibility for making a recommen- dation for funding for these programs should be with the Resource Recovery Board. President Goldsmith shared with the Board the actions of the Coconut Creek City Council. He presented the facts and information to the members of the Council, advising them that the TAC of the Resource Recovery Board made recommendations and our representative of the TAC advised our Council and our City Council voted to accept elements of these options. President Goldsmith hoped that each of the Board members had a chance to review the options with their Councils or Commis - along so that the League could present recommendations to the County Administra- tor as to what elements of the Trash Transfer stations and Hazardous Materials I?rograas were destrad. C/M Abran wits was only concerned with how such the cost would be and how it would be essassed to the people. C/M Resnick had a question concerning the Trash Transfer stations and the unincorporated areas of Broward County with regard to the numbers given on the charts. Mr. Alexander stated that the numbers referred only to the unincorpora- ted gross of Broward County. A Mayor Lieberman attempted to clarify the statement of Mr. Osterhol; with regard to the authority of the Resource Recovery Board. This authority is determined by the Interlocal agreement and to in three areas -- the incinerators. the Central Landfill and# most recently, for the 14RFa. The other programs are not under the authority of the Resource Recovery board because no Interlocal agree - sent is in effect. Mayor Lieberman repeated her understanding of the purpose of this meeting -- What do we, think we need. as Cities, in a comprehensive program with the County to most our resource recovery needs. It is her understanding that the Cities can offer additional options to the County, such as combining the trash transfer station and the hasardous material programs and request. a permutation on the. costs and savings of combining these two programs. It appears that at this time the County would prefer to pay for the trash transfer stations from the tipping fee. if this is not acceptable to the Cities. a recommendation needs to be made to another option. There are different tipping fee optional, including charges based on usage or population. V/M harks stated that there was a need to be able to track the usage of each City of the trash transfer station. r Mayor Voltri stated that private trash transfer stations could be operated at $8.00 or $0.00 a cubic yard and asked if the County could meet this price. Mr. Foy* said thit the cost is about $10.00 or $11.00 a cubic yard at this point. Mr. Fogs also stated that at a recent TAC meeting, it was suggested that privat- izing could make the program more cost' offeetive and would be considered if the Cities desired the trash transfer stations program. Mr. Alexander stated that it sounds like the Cities want a co-ordleated, unified program if it can be determined bow to pay for it to everyone's satisfaction. County staff will try to do anything reasonable. Ho suggested that the League • Board of Directors mate a recommendation to the Resource Recovery Board for funding these county -vide programs. V/M Rovac felt that it would be a weighted vote and wouldn't .setter what the smaller cities wanted if Dort Lauderdale and unincorporated broward County voted together. She felt that it has cone dawn to.individual choices of the options presented, like a Chinese menu. Mayor Pardelmann stated that the TAC decisions did apt take into account the population since they don't have to answer to them, as the elected officials do. She felt that Cooper City would only vote for funding based on usage, because of all the services already provided to their residents. C/M Resnick questioned Mr. Foye and Mr. Alexander as to the disposition of any excess land purchased by the County if the Trash Transfer stations and Hazardous Material programs are combined. Mr. Foy* clarified that the North and South titer are owned by the County and the Central *it* is leased. The County has fixed costs on that site but are looking:at rays to reduce this cost. Mr. Foys concurs with Mayor Liebarsan's suggestion of moving forward with the items that are workable and resolvable and coming back in three months with other options for the trash transfer stations. The TAC and the County realise they must got together with the elected officials to . work for a mutual goal. Mr. Toys and Ms. Alexander want to do what the cities want. President Goldsmith questioned C/M Abramovita about the Tamarac. City Cousell's review of the Information presented by Mr. Alexander. C/M Abramowitz has not asked his Council to take a vote on the options as they each questioned his on how such the cost would be and how to would be paid.for. They are awaiting the results of this Special board meeting. iresldent Goldsmith asked Mr. Alexander if the County still intends to fund the programs as originally projected for the next several fiscal years. Mr. Alexander stated that he will continua to go forth as it stands today. Be is awaiting direction from the Resource Recovery Board as advised by the various cities. , Commissioner Moore advised that the City of Fort Lauderdale has its' own Trash Transfer station at a cost of 41 million. we also ,stated• that even though residents of each city do not physically bring trash to these stations, their trash. through the use of lawn services is being brought to these stations because Fort Lauderdale is receiving such of it. He fools that the fairest way. to bill for the use of the stations is by population. Port Lauderdale has tried other ways and feels that funding by population works best. Mayor Xardelmann fools that since residents already pay the service for disposal of the trash, they should not have, to pay again. She cannot get a consensus from her Council to support the stations by population. Mayor Lieberman suggested a funding machaniam based on tonnage and usage and than have a list Provided to each city of the users. Then the City could determine if any addition charge should be, levied against those frequent users who are subsidizing their business by using the trash transfer stations. Mayor Lieberman urges that we build on small successes. If we go forward with house - bold hazardous haste, costs should be, based on usage and commodities. President Goldsmith asked Joe Moss, chair of TAC for the Resource Recovery Board for Any cosslants. Mr. Moss had idea, one since the, recycling office has been closed and it is unlikely that, If reopensd', all the employees would come back. He, suggested that Broward look at the recycling office of pale Beach County who would be willing to provide the necessary services to Braward County. Should he proceed with further discussions with Palm Beach County. The need is great since the MRli will be on line In late spring. Mayor Lieberman had two comments. PIrst, she felt that no one could be sure the former recycling office employees would not return. Second, she felt that any discussions with Palm Beach County should be initiated by the, Resource Recovery Board and not by TAC. President Goldsmith commented that the League was no further along in coming to any decision than one mouth ago. C/M Abramowitz felt that no decisions can be made until it is determined how much the coat will be and how it will be funded. Mr. Goldsmith asked that each board member go back to their city and present it to their council/commission. He shared his discussions with the Coconut Creek Council and his calculations that by fiscal 196 the cost would be $.83 per month per single family home for curbside pickup if all the programs were implemented. and 10/17 of this cost for multi -family.
