Discussion and Consideration of Capital Sanitation Franchise
P,.cqu¢~tccl by Mr, Hallox~ll (Notification Letter to Capital dated
7/17/95)
Nathan McCollum, 1448 Laconia Street and Walter Barnes, 402 Azine
Terrace, both of Sebastian, addressed City Council.
Ron Rigby, Capital Sanitation, addressed City Council stating he felt that
the cause of most of the problem was the approximately 3000 residences
that put out trash for pickup due to incorrect press coverage and reassured
that problems encountered at starmp were being taken care of.
Mr. Halloran cited many violations of the agreement by Capital Sanitation.
TAPE I - SIDE II (7:47 p.m.)
Concerns were expressed relative to improper equipment, lack of track
lettering and backup alarm, insufficient noticing, and pickup schedule.
Each City Council member offered input. It was noted that the number of
complaints had diminished in the past week and, subsequent to a rather
lengthy discussion, it was the consensus of City Council to have the City
Manager review and report on Capital's performance in thirty days.
Mr. Halloran suggested Mr. Rigby advertise in the press to alleviate any
public confusion.
Mr. Rigby stated he would work with his customers on holiday credits, said
he had received no assistance from BFI except for a handicap list and
inquired how to refund people who have BFI stickers and have paid for the
next three months.
John Fortin, District Manager, BFI, stated he had not been contacted by
Capital for a full customer list, and that no BFI customers were being
charged for the current period.

MOTION by Cartwright/Halloran
I move that we grant the request and adopt Resolution No. R-95-40.
John Hill, Craven, Thompson & Associates, Inc., reported his findings to
Council, suggesting that in the future these types of rear drainage easements
be left intact (exhibiting on an overhead) however, he said that for the few
applications that are in process, it would probably be acceptable to vacate
the easements. He said he intends to meet with staff and the building
community in the next few weeks to explain his reasons and ascertain how
special circumstances can be accommodated. He suggested that perhaps a
hold harmless agreement could be drafted for these situations.

13. INTRODUCTION OF NEW ~BUSIN~.~SS FROM THE PUBLIC
TAPE II - SIDE II (9:21 p.m.)
Richard Taracka, 1320 Coverbrook Lane, Sebastian, inquired about Barber
bridge paving; correction of Police station air-conditioning; and the
Riverfront grant.
Walter Barnes, 402 Azine Terrace, Sebastian, inquired about cleaning up
house construction debris in the event of a hurricane; whether the City
follows up on all Code Enforcement complaints; and read a letter his son in
North Carolina had received from a real estate agent in Palm Bay which
demeaned the City of Sebastian and which, he believed, was a seam to get
people to buy "cheap" lots in the City.
