AN ORDINANCE OF MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE, FLORIDA,

VILLAGE CODE OF ORDINANCES, RELATING TO THE FEES
CHARGED FOR GARBAGE &TRASH COLLECTION, TO PROVIDE
FOR AN INCREASE IN SAID FEES, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS,
AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, for decades Miami Shores Village has operated a chipping operation at
its Public Works facility which greatly assisted the Village in the handling of yard trash
such as tree trimmings and the like; and
WHEREAS, recently issues have been raised by Miami-Dade County and the
Department of Environmental Resource Management regarding this chipping operation
which has lead the Village administration, upon the advice of special legal counsel, to
recommend the discontinuance of such operations going forward; and
WHEREAS, for reasons of public safety, health, welfare and to preserve, maintain
and enhance the general appearance of the Village including its public ways and
alleyways, the Village desires to continue to provide to its residents a relatively high level
of yard trash collection services which, after discontinuance of the Village's chipping
operation, will necessitate the transportation of such yard trash to a county landfill for
disposal; and
WHEREAS, the fees and costs to be incurred by the Village in connection with
disposal of such yard trash at the County landfill (in terms of tipping or dumping fees, fuel
consumption, manpower, equipment and other expenses) are such as to necessitate
certain waste collection rate increases in order to allow the Village to continue to provide
bulk trash pick up service for the Village residents and service levels at least equal to
those being currently provided; and
WHEREFORE, it is therefore in the best interest of the Village to now raise the
residential garbage rate fee as set forth hereinafter.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Miami Shores Village Council that:
