NG TO SOLID WASTE; 4 THROUGH 11 -32; y1ENTAL PROTECTION VGLE- FAMILY HOME VIDING FOR CODE AND REGULATIONS; ENFORCEMENT AND Request: Authorizing the City Manager to implement the residential recycling assessment and to set aside Green Initiative improvements. Reason/Need; Within the past couple of months, one of our former Mayors announced during the City Commission meeting that the City of South Miami is the first City to start a recycling program. I would add that all Miami -Dade County Cities are now providing recycling services, but the City of South Miami is the only City subsidizing the cost of the services. Since the City executed inter -local agreement with Miami -Dade County for the recycling services, the cost of the service have increased at an average of 3.38 % annually. For example, the actual expense for the service in fiscal year 1997/1998 was $ 67,608.21, while in fiscal year 2006/2007 (10 years later), the City paid $90,438.00. The attached 11 -year History of Actual Expenditure shows the annual continue increase in amount currently subsidized by the City. With the attached ordinance, we are asking to cover the City's expenses by assessing a $ 4.00 per month fee and to invest 25% of the collected amount into Green Program initiative. By investing some of the collection expenses into Green Program, it would be a fact in the City of South Miami that every resident is truly doing their part to save the environment.

The containers are intended to- remain with each property through the life of this contract and any subsequent extensions. In the event that a unit's residents vacate the property, the containers shall remain at that location for use by the subsequent residents. The City shall not mark or label the containers in any fashion prior to obtaining the written consent of the County. Additional or "new" containers shall be placed at newly- constructed and occupied Residential Properties added into the program in the existing County Service Area by the Contractor at no cost. Lost or stolen containers will be reported to the Contractor, who will be responsible for replacement at no charge up to an amount of five (5) percent annually of the number of containers originally distributed to Residential Properties within the City. Page 5 In the event that the five (5) percent allowance is exceeded both throughout the entire service area and within the City, the City will be responsible for reimbursement to the County for those containers replaced within its portion of the service area in excess of 5 percent, at a cost of $6.00 per unit. This amount will be determined annually by the County based on reports from the Contractor listing the actual number and location of replaced containers. The reimbursement for any excess over the five (5) percent shall be included in the next month's regular payment. Section VIII Reporting The City shall be sent a copy of each Quarterly Recyclable Material Revenue Statement issued to the County Ty the Contractor within three working days of receipt thereof by the County. This document shall provide the basis for calculating the City's payment /credit for the quarter- Is - differential.._from the Recyclable Materials Revenue Floor. The City shall also be sent a copy of the Annual Report issued to the County by the Contractor. In additions, Monthly Project Reports and Quarterly Project Status Reports which are issued to the County by the Contractor will be made available to the City upon request. City staff will also be notified of all, and may attend any, regular meetings held with the Contractor to review performance. Section IX Enforcement The City agrees to take such steps as may reasonably be necessary to protect Contractor's ownership of all recyclable materials placed at curbside for collection by Contractor under the terms of the County Contract, including the preparation and submission of an anti - scavenging ordinance for the City. The City staff shall submit to the Municipal Council within a reasonable time, a proposed anti - scavenging ordinance that has been approved by the Contractor. Unless provided otherwise by County ordinance, the City shall be responsible for enforcement of this recycling program in that portion of the service area within its incorporated limits. Page 6 Section X Program Revisions Minor program adjustments affecting the entire Service Area may made from time to time as agreed to by the County and the Contractor. Such minor adjustments could include, but would not be limited to, such items as variations in. the required preparation of materials by the resident or hours of collection. In the. event that such changes will require notice to the residents, the County and the Contractor shall jointly take full responsibility for providing adequate notice to all of the residents. Any major program changes having a material impact on the financial relationship among the parties or resulting in substantial variation in the amount and type of Recyclables collected shall be subject to review by the City. However, the County reserves . -the_ right to -- change- or- modify- the Contract,- -and - the City agrees to be bound thereby without separate written amendment to this Agreement as long as the unincorporated and incorporated areas are affected equally by such modifications. Section XI Liquidated Damages In the event that the Contractor fails to perform in accord with the Contract, liquidated damages will be imposed as provided for in the Contract. When these failures to perform take place within its incorporated limits of the Service Area, the City shall be entitled to receive a credit towards the following month's regular payment in an amount equal to 90 percent of the total dollar value of those damages actually received or withheld from the Contractor as provided for in the Contract. Section XII Service Initiation Schedule Contractor will initiate delivery of Containers and pickup of Recyclable Materials to the City within 120 days of receiving the City's Residential Property list from the County or immediately following implementation of service to the unincorporated area, whichever is later. Contractor shall complete delivery of Containers and implement pickup of Recyclable Materials in the new area at an approximate rate of 37,500 homes per month. Contractor shall perform the required duties under "Public Information Program" (described in Article 3D of the Contract) related to the introduction of the recycling program to the residents of the City. Page 7 Section XIII Multi- Family Recycling Program Option As part of the Contract, a multi- family program option will be developed and implemented. This. program would be available to the City. The City shall receive periodic notice concerning development of this program. Section XIV Default /Termination In the event that the Contractor materially defaults, fails to correct such default and termination occurs as specified in Article 17 of the County Contract, the City shall share, in accord with their proportional share of households, in the proceeds of the performance bond_ in -accord- -with _ Article - - 12 of- the - Contract; - _ less any reasonable ,expenditures made by the County, except as provided below. If, in this circumstance, the County determines that it is in the best interest of the entire service area for either the County or another private entity to provide .this service under comparable terms and conditions, the City agrees to continue participation in the program. Failure of the City to make payment to the County in accord with the provisions of Section VI of this Agreement shall constitute default. In the event that such default occurs, the County shall provide written notice to the City concerning the nature of'this default. The City shall have thirty (30) days from date of the notice in which to resolve such default. In the event that the City fails to resolve the default, the County shall have the option to terminate this agreement and /or withhold local revenue that the County distributes to the City in an amount sufficient to pay for all recycling services provided to date for which the City has failed to make payment, including the City's pro rata share of any Recycling Materials Revenue deficit.- Section XV State Recycling Grant Funds The City may choose to utilize State Recycling and Education grant funding to pay a portion of the monthly payments due to the County. Upon receipt of written notification from the City, the County agrees to take full responsibility for meeting all State requirements for making an annual recycling grant application and for making the quarterly expense reports to the State on behalf of the City as it relates to this curbside recycling project. In this circumstance, the City's responsibility for meeting grant - related State data and financial reporting requirements will be limited to providing information concerning any other municipal recycling programs. M- The City acknowledges that the State Recycling and Education grant is provided to all local governments on a reimbursement basis and agrees to make monthly payments to the County through the date of such State reimbursement. At least thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated date of State reimbursement, the City shall notify the County of its intent to receive these funds directly. In the event that such notice is not provided, the County shall retain these funds and make future months' payments to the Contractor from the City's pro rata share of the grant proceeds. The County shall issue a monthly statement to the City noting payments made to the Contractor and interest accrued on the balance.
