PUBLIC INPUT Richard Gillmor asked Council to consider legislation to require the septic tanks to hook up to the sewer system near the lagoon. Mr. Gillmor observed that when they open the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance, to the republic for which itstands, it is his private pet peeve that it is wrong to say this country is a democracy. He said it is actually a republic with a representative democracy. Council Member Dodd said last year council approved a study to determine the septic tanks should be converted and found that the owner of the utility must be the one to apply for the infrastructure grants. The City is in current conversations with the County to address more conversions. Regular City Council Meeting April 12, 2023 Page 4 Martin Styger said the people they have elected have generally done what they were elected to do but recently there have been changes with the garbage pickup. Mayor Jones asked him to return when that item comes up on the agenda. Bob Stephen, 150 Concha Drive, asked Council to read the MSDS sheets on what the City is spraying in the waterways. Andrea Coy said there seems to be some problems with the audio which she hoped is fixed by the time she plans to speak on other matters. 8. CONSENT AGENDA A.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS 23.048 A. Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement 6.55 pm Council Member Dodd said he wasn't comfortable that the solid waste franchise fee only appears in the contract and would like to present a motion to establish the solid waste franchise fee and direct the City Manager to determine if there are any other documents the fee needs to be approved in. He proposed a motion to assess a franchise fee of 3% from July 1, 2023 until October 1, 2024 then it goes to 0% after October 1, 2024. Second, they continue to assess the 6% on nonresidential accounts beginning July 1, 2023 within the contract and third he proposed to direct the City Manager to see if there are any other items they need to correct based on this fee structure. He noted this would change some of theitems in the contract tonight. MOTION by Council Member Dodd and SECOND by Vice Mayor Nunn to move Item I to Item 3.

Roll call: Vice Mayor Nunn - aye Council Member Dixon - aye Council Member Dodd - aye Council Member McPartlan - aye Mayor Jones - aye Motion carried. 5-0 Regular City Council Meeting April 12, 2023 Page 8 The City Attorney read the title to Ordinance No. 0-23-06. The City Manager said at the March 22 meeting the vote to approve the universal collection of solid waste and have him negotiate the collection of fees was rescinded. Since that time, Waste Management has agreed to do the quarterly billing from July to October 2024 but they want to keep 3% of the franchise fees to offset the debt they will incur and the City's Code. Enforcement Division would go after those that won't pay. He said these new terms would be beneficial for the City. Council Member Dodd said he participated in a Waste Management meeting recently with the City Manager. Public Input Martin Styger said it wasn't fair to have everybody pay for the service year round. He asked Council to reconsider this and give the people a chance to vote. Nathan McCollum said he appreciated that Council Member Dodd found the issue that the Tax Collector wouldn't be able to collect the fees until 2024. He cited F.S.197.3632(4)(b), stating everybody that is going to receive the tax is supposed to receive a letter describing the cost, what it is for and will go against their property if they don't pay; a newspaper advertisement should be placed and a public hearing is to be held. He said this tax was in the contract they were about to sign before they have even followed the law. He said he was advised that if the City proceeds it would be "troubling." Mr. McCollum said he didn't think the 3% of the franchise fee going to Waste Management would cover the delinquent accounts and asked if it went over, would the City be liable to pay Waste Management more money. He said he wasn't for the universal system and noted for the public if they don't pay the tax bill correctly they will have a lien placed against their house. He said it may be worth it to have the City look at doing this ourself and asked Council not to become a collection agency for a private company. He also mentioned that the private survey indicating that 67% were in favor was not a scientific survey. He asked Council to research everything before making a decision. Frank Holtzhauer, Mallow Scrub Way, described how many people take their garbage to the transfer station which is already paid for with their taxes. Nelson McCollum, Gossamer Wing Way, said there was no need to mandate an unnecessary service. He asked why the City Manager didn't include the no cost trips to the transfer station or having the City run the service in-house in the survey. He asked to let the people choose how to spend their money. Regular City Council Meeting April 12, 2023 Page 9 Brian Mather, Autumn Terrace, said everyone is paying the transfer station fee which has gone up every year; residents don't need the non -ad valorem universal tax. He said he would like the choice of subscription. Carl Kelly said he has been here for 20 years and it has always been voluntary to take care of the waste and it should stay that way. Sherrie Matthews asked if a new vote was going to be taken for universal or subscription. Council Member Dodd said they were rehearing what they did two meetings ago. Bill Flynn, Main Street, said when the two other companies that bid on the contract indicated they needed more information, isn't that an indication that it wasn't put out properly. Vice Mayor Nuan said both of those companies were given the residential information but the City did not have information on the commercial aspect to give those companies which is the reason they chose not to bid. Council Member Dodd said these trash hauler companies have had major issues; the rates are not out of line with nearby cities. Bill Flynn said fleet maintenance costs are going up but on the other hand residents are struggling. He said he is willing to pay a little more so some people can still choose to go to the transfer station. Terry McGinn, Miller Drive, said he was at the transfer station this week and every single bin was overflowing, there was stuff all over the place. Mayor Jones called for a recess at 7:46 p.m. and upon return at 7:58 p.m., all members were present. Zoom Particinants Andrea Coy said since things didn't go as planned with the last vote, she suggested they should start over all over again and go out to bid since they might not be a subscription service. Grace Reed said she is still in support of the subscription service for once a week. She said since the agreement is no longer applicable she asked why the process didn't go out for a rebid. She said she supported Mr. McCollum's idea of having the City provide the service and was opposed to collecting the franchise fee for someone else. She asked Council to inspect what they expect as they go along since the ball was dropped on this process. Charles Stadelman thanked Council for bringing this up. He said sometimes when he goes to the transfer station he sees bags of garbage on the side of road. He would vote to keep the subscription service as it is and suggested looking into Regular City Council Meeting April 12, 2023 Page 10 8.10 pm companies that use waste to make energy. He suggested using the City's boards to help them make decisions. Vice Mayor Nunn said they don't have time to go out for a rebid. He said he has been contacted by people who are telling him to go with universal because it made the most sense for the people and others asked him to consider the residents that go north and stop their service. Those that are happy don't tell you that they are happy; only the ones that are unhappy are the ones that contact you so that small percentage makes sure you hear them so they need to make decisions based on those that contact them and made a MOTION to move forward with a once a week subscription trash service that was SECONDED by Mayor Jones. Council Member Dodd noted that was contrary to his decision made two meetings ago. He said it was interesting to hear Richard Gillmor's dissertation on a republic this evening. The difference between a republic and a democracy is that in a republic the rule of law governs the society. In a democracy the popular majority vote governs society. They are a republic by nature of the Constitution but they are a democratic republic by the nature of the fact that the population is supposed to be democratically electing the representatives that make up the republic. As a republic, Council has the responsibility to do what's best for the society as a whole. When there is between 78-80% of the current residents on a subscription service and they are going to increase their monthly cost by 2 1 /2 times more than they have to, it makes no sense to him to represent the public as a whole to make that decision. He said it is counter to what the process is designed to do for them to adopt the subscription service because twenty people stood up in front of them and told them not to adopt. It is antithesis of a republic --it is not what a republic is designed to do. Council Member Dodd said he was the one who brought this back because he found out that they were looking at about SIM liability to the City for the bad debt. He said Waste Management won't charge us for a single bad debt dollar in the 15 month window. They will bill quarterly and keep 3% of the franchise fee as a cushion against the bad debt and will assume the responsibility for the bad debt for 15 months. He said tonight Council needs to choose whether it will be universal or a subscription service and then award a franchise to Waste Management. He said there has been a lot of work done by the senior officials of Waste Management to assist Sebastian in not having that $ 1 M worth of liability in that 15 month window. It was disturbing to him when he thinks that the testimony of 25 people will have changed the whole process. He realizes what the vote will be and apologized to the residents because Council has failed them in their responsibility as a republic by pushing a large rate increase on every citizen so a small percentage gets what they choose. He said he would not support the motion. Council Member McParthm asked the Interim City Attorney if they were required to notify the residents by letter and advertisements with a public hearing in Regular City Council Meeting April 12, 2023 Page 11 8:26 pm accordance with F.S.197.3632(4)(b) now or when it goes on the tax roll. The Interim City Attorney advised the contract requires the uniform method of collection but doesn't have to be prior to contract. Council Member McPartlan asked about the termination language that with cause is 30 day notice and without cause is 120 days without financial obligation. The Interim City Attorney cited Section 15.4, "The agreement resulting from this RFP can be terminated within thirty days written notice from the City with cause if the Franchisee is found to have failed to materially perform services in a manner satisfactory to the City. The City shall be solejudge of non-performance. Further, the agreement can be terminated by either party without cause upon one - hundred twenty days written notice by either party. In the event of termination without cause, the Franchisee shall be compensated for all services performed to the City's satisfaction." Council Member McParlan confirmed that if the City wanted to terminate without cause, the City would just need to give the notice and make them whole prior to the termination. Council Member McPartlan said he has spoken to Matt, the Public Works Director of Vero Beach, who said Vero's expense is $3M but they take in $3.5M and serve 7,000 homes for a rate of $16.45 for twice weekly garbage and once a week for yard waste. They have six rear trucks and five front loading trucks. Council Member McPartlan said Sebastian's cost up front would probably be $6M to have 22 trucks to service the City which might be worth looking into. He said he would like the City to look into doing our own trash service. He said they could get out of the contract in 120 days and then they could have conversations with the County and maybe go in together in 2024. Vero Beach has universal service and by doing it ourselves, it will give us a way to help the needy. Vice Mayor Nunn said without conviction he has nothing and he WITHDREW his motion, because his conviction tells him that he represents all of the people, not just the people that are angry with him. Mayor Jones WITHDREW his second. MOTION by Vice Mayor Nunn and SECOND by Council Member Dixon to go with universal service with one pick up a week. Council Member Dixon said she echoed Council Member Dodd's sentiments. Through all of the emails and phone calls she is aware that the majority of the citizens enjoy having their trash picked up. Roll call on the motion for universal service, one time a week: Council Member Dodd - aye Council Member McPartlan - nay Regular City Council Meeting April 12, 2023 Page 12 8.35 pm Mayor Jones - nay Vice Mayor Nunn - aye Council Member Dixon - aye Motion carried. 3-2 The Interim City Attorney clarified that the transmittal indicates that part of the recommendation was to authorize the City Manager to execute the appropriate documents and asked if that was the intent of Council to authorize the execution of the documents. The City Manager advised the last vote approved the contract. The Interim City Attorney advised that he believed the last vote was to approve universal service and it would be appropriate to have another vote to execute the appropriate documents meaning the contract. Item I la-1 MOTION by Council Member Dodd and SECOND by Vice Mayor Nunn to review and request modifications to the contract between City and Waste Management beginning on page 139 (continuing for 26 pages) of the agenda packet. Council Member Dodd requested a modification to the franchise fee, the dollar amounts, and the method of billing Public Input Martin Styger asked why the City decided to change the service and method of billing without notifying the people. Carl Kelly said if the City follows Vero Beach, he asked if they have thought about increased costs associated with global warming. Brian Mather, Autumn Terrace, said he will have to pay for something that he will never use. Sherrie Matthews, said some of the heartburn of the people is that the franchise fee has now become an additional fee. Council Member Dodd advised that Waste Management removed the fee in their quoted rate. Council Member Dodd noted there were many changes to be made to the contract. MOTION by Council Member Dodd and SECOND by Mayor Jones to approve the amended agreement between the City of Sebastian and Waste Management.
