A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A FEE FOR THE DISPOSAL OF LIMITED
QUANTITIES OF VEGETATIVE WASTE GENERATED IN THE CITY OF PORT
ST. LUCIE AND DELIVERED TO THE ST. LUCIE COUNTY GLADES ROAD
LANDFILL; AMENDING AND SUPERSEDING RESOLUTION NO. 16-035;
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida (the "Board"), finds:
1. The County owns and operates a solid waste management facility ("Facility") located at
6120 Glades Cut -Off Road in the City of Fort Pierce, Florida. The County's Facility includes a Class I landfill,
a disposal area for construction and demolition debris, a recycling center, and related facilities that are
used for processing, recycling, and disposing of various types of solid waste, including but not limited to
vegetative waste.
2. On March 1, 2016, the Board adopted Resolution No. 16-035, which established certain
"tipping fees" (i.e., disposal fees) and charges that the County will bill and collect for processing, disposing
of, or otherwise managing the solid waste and recyclable materials that are delivered to the County's
Facility. The Board now wishes to amend Resolution No. 16-035 to establish a different tipping fee that
the County will bill and collect on a temporary basis when the City of Port St. Lucie ("City") delivers
vegetative waste that was generated in the City by or as a result of Hurricane Matthew.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County,
Florida, that the following fees, charges, and other provisions concerning the use of the County's Facility
are hereby approved and adopted:
SECTION A.
Subject to the conditions contained herein, the County will charge a tipping fee (disposal fee) of ten
dollars ($10.00) per ton for the disposal of pre-processed vegetative waste that is generated in the City of
Port St. Lucie as a result of Hurricane Matthew and delivered to the County's Facility by the City or
contractors working for the City. This tipping fee will only apply to twenty thousand (20,000) tons of such
waste. After the City and its contractors deliver twenty thousand (20,000) tons of such waste to the
Facility, the County will bill and collect its normal tipping fee for all of the City's subsequent deliveries of
vegetative waste.
SECTION B.
Effective November 15, 2016, this Resolution shall amend and supplement Resolution 16-035, and
shall supersede any provision in Resolution No. 16-035 that is inconsistent with the contents herein.
SECTION C.
The tipping fee established in this Resolution shall take effect on November 15, 2016 and expire on
February 15, 2017.
After a motion and second, the vote on this Resolution was as follows:
