Item 4 - Public Hearing * Public Hearing on Proposed Increases to Solid Waste Special Assessments. On May 7, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners ("Board") approved extraordinary relief for the remainder of FY 2019 for St. Johns County's residential solid waste franchisees, Advanced Disposal and Republic Services, due to recent changes in the recycling market. The Board also directed staff to negotiate proposed amendments to the franchise agreements to address the increased costs for the remainder of the contract terms. To account for these changes in the recycling market and overall increases in the costs of providing solid waste collection and disposal since the solid waste assessments were last set, the Board directed staff to prepare proposed increases in the maximum rates for the solid waste special assessments for FY 2020 and future years. This agenda item provides for the public hearing required by Florida Statute on the proposed increase to the maximum assessment rates for FY 2020 through FY 2024. Consistent with Florida Statute and the Board's direction, a "notice to property owner” was mailed to over 86,000 residents to inform them of the proposed increase to the maximum assessment rates and of their right to submit written objections and to appear at the August 6, 2019 public hearing. The maximum assessment rates are proposed to increase from the current total rate of $222 to $230 in FY 2020, $236 in FY 2021, $242 in FY 2022, $248 in FY 2023, and $254 in FY 2024. Staff requests Board direction to include the proposed maximum assessment rates in the Annual Assessment Resolution to be presented for adoption at the first meeting in September.
