AMERECYCLE - RECYCLING NEGOTIATIONS

James W. Seuffert, Interim County Administrator, stated that the Board

discussed (2/28/95) whether a motion regarding negotiations with

Amerecycle should be considered. He distributed a memorandum (dated

3/9/95) from Mr. McClash, proposing a motion to terminate negotiations

with Amerecycle. He also outlined staff's recommendations regarding the

implications of a decision either way on this matter.

Discussion: Concern involves the uncertainty of plant; complexity and

length of contract; credit risk for County; cost to taxpayers; ceasing

negotiations may cause County to spend more money in the long run for a

combination of programs; County Attorney to contact Governor Chiles

regarding his letter (2/7/95) to Mr. and Mrs. Bernard; etc.

Dave Thornton, Raymond James and Associates, Inc., financial advisor,

responded to questions as to whether the draft contract puts County at

risk and the County 's revenue source that will be used to pay debt

service and operation/maintenance costs. He stated there is involvement

of the County's credit.

Discussion: Issue of County paying for tonnage delivered or separated

is not yet resolved; as of draft 11 of contract. County would pay based

on amount of material processed; currently negotiating to focus payment

on a performance basis; etc.

Motion - Cease Negotiations with Amerecycle

Following discussion, motion was made by Mr. McClash and seconded by

Mr. Gause, to cease negotiations with Amerecycle and reject all bids for

Request for Proposal (RFP) 919022. The County has negotiated in good

faith, but finds that the contract negotiations have revealed the

following concerns, but not limited to the following concerns:

1. The cost has increased to an amount which, in the proposed

contract, is higher than originally proposed. This cost is

unacceptable.

2. The length of the proposed contract is longer than desired.

3. The technology is not proven and is constantly changing.

44/271

44/272


4. The proposed contract is more complex than desired.

5. There are many financial difficulties associated with the

proposed contract.

6. The unending high costs in continuing to negotiate a contract;

and

7. The change in regulations for MSW (Municipal Solid Waste)

composting plants.

Mr. Stephens submitted 31 pieces of correspondence addressing the

proposed recycling program with Amerecycle.

Mr. Thornton emphasized the fact that negotiations with Amerecycle are

still, under way, and that attempts are being made to identify the debt

service component.

Lenox Bramble, Public Services Director, stated that staff continues to

negotiate in good faith and will proceed with direction from the Board.

Mr. Seuffert advised that if negotiations with Amerecycle continue, a

contract will be brought back for Board consideration on April 18, 1995.

Discussion: A curb-side recycling program is mandatory regardless of

whether a contract with Amerecycle is finalized; enough is not known for

the County to move forward with a 20-year contract.

Motion carried 5 to 2, with Mrs. Glass and Mrs. Harris voting "Nay."

Motion - Notify Other Proposers

Motion was made by Mrs. Glass, seconded by Mr. McClash and carried
