12. Approval for Use of County Solid Waste Management System. (Public Works
Director Krug)
The City has historically utilized the County solid waste management system to dispose of residential and
commercial solid waste. The interlocal agreement between the City and Orange County expired in September,
2011. On October 18, 2011, the City Commission ratified a letter of intent from the County to continue to
receive County solid waste management services under the terms of the expired interlocal agreement until a
new agreement was reached. There is currently no incentive for the City to enter into a new contract until
such time as the largest city in the county enters into a similar agreement as their larger volume of dedicated
waste tonnage would be the catalyst to further lower tipping fees. The City Commission previously
authorized use of the County solid waste management system through April 30, 2018. While we await a
beneficial interlocal agreement, Public Works seeks City Commission authorization to continue to use the
County solid waste management system to dispose of residential and commercial solid waste until a new
agreement is reached or April 30,2019.

Planning Area Agreement. The proposed annexation is a logical extension of the City limits, urban services
can be provided, and the annexation meets state and local regulations. The land use and initial zoning are also

$960,000. (Assistant City Manager Shadrix)
The City acquired 12 acres of land from the Silvestri Investment Group of Florida, Inc., on December 29,
2006, at a cost of $3.5 million for the purpose of constructing a new Police Department headquarters
building. The City subsequently relocated the Police Department to another facility with the result that this
property remains undeveloped. The subject property is bordered on the south by railroad right of way, which
is adjacent to AD Mims Road,to the north and east by the Prairie Lake Reserve Subdivision, and on the west
by Clarke Road. A portion of the eastern boundary is property dedicated to the public use and owned by the
City for future road construction. The outstanding amount of the bond used to finance the purchase is
approximately $2.6 million. The Orlando Division of Beazer Homes has submitted an unsolicited offer to
purchase approximately 8.5 acres of the property for$960,000. The City would retain the 15-foot-wide strip
along Clarke Road plus 3.5 acres in the southwest corner of the property, which may have a future
commercial use. (Appraisal Forthcoming)
