Special City Council Meeting August 3, 2005 Page Two 05.095 05.162 iii. Waste Manaaement Continuina Contract Issues Mayor McCollum asked about the 4th of July holiday pickup, which is set out in the contract to be picked on the next collection day and the lack of pickup for yard waste. He said Council should direct the City Manager to contact Waste Management to put them on notice that they have identified two contract issues that have not been met, and if the issues are not resolved they will be asking the City Attomey to advise them on penalties. Ms. Coy said they have still not resolved the issue of getting stickers to customers timely. The City Manager said he had contacted Waste Management, and that the problem with July 4th pickup advertisement was the City was advertised with the county customers in error. He said Waste Management was going to check on the ad and picked up volumes. If waste volumes were substantially low. they would consider making it right by Sebastian. He said he would contact them again tomorrow, but said it was his impression that the City has a steward that is looking out for the City. iv. Charter Amendment for Private Eminent Domain For the benefit of the City Clerk, the Mayor read a request for all proposed charter amendment ordinances to be adopted by the end of November. Mayor McCollum said he had received input from many individuals about the Supreme Court action on eminent domain, and would like to include a charter amendment requiring an unanimous vote of Council for eminent domain actions for economic development. The City Attorney said eminent domain actions could only be done in a Community Redevelopment District. The City Attorney was directed to bring back an ordinance for August 10, 2005. The City Clerk noted for the record that the election is March 14, 2006 for two seats. Ruth Sullivan said she would rather see citizens vote by referendum as to whether government bodies can use eminent domain because unanimous collusion could still happen and commended Council for repealing the time limit. Special City Council Meeting August 3, 2005 Page Three Mr. Nealia Reported that Precinct 103 will now be at the SI. Sebastian Catholic Church rather than the Sebastian Community Center. Mr. Neglia recommended that City Council send a letter to the County Commission for a moratorium on combining the two emergency services until more information can be obtained. Mayor McCollum said the appropriate thing to do would be since Mr. Neglia is the City's representative to the EMSDAC, he should request that his chairman present the plan to the committee and give a summary report to the Council. Mr. Burkeen suggested that because merger costs are inherent. the City send a letter expressing tax increase concerns and then also bring the request to the committee as well. 5. Being no further business. the Special Meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m. Approved at the August 10. 2005 Regular City Council Meeting. N'~~ ..'
