of Ordinances entitled "Refuse Collection
Fee Schedule"
ORDINANCE:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA RELATING TO GARBAGE AND TRASH; AMENDING SECTION 11 -23
(a) OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES ENTITLED "REFUSE COLLECTION FEE
SCHEDULE "; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, AND
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
During the 2005 -2006 budget hearings, the City Commission approved a 20% increase in excess
trash fees as one the City's sources of revenue for this fiscal year. To fully enact the excess trash
fee increase, Section 11 -23 (a) of the City's Code of Ordinances must be amended to reflect the
new fees.
The 20% fee increase will result in a new fee of $156.00 for a trash pickup in excess of a half
load and less than a full truck load. The minimum fee per truck load will increase from $260.00
to $312.00. These fees will take effect immediately upon approval of the attached ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend approval of the attached ordinance.
