Solid Waste Assessment Presentation and Question-and-Answer Session
Mr. Watts introduced City staff and representatives from Raftelis and explained that the purpose
of the meeting was to provide information and answer residents’ questions regarding the
proposed non-ad valorem solid waste assessment. He clarified that no formal action would be
taken during the meeting and that the City Commission would consider the assessment at a public
hearing on September 10, 2026.
Thierry Boveri, Raftelis, presented the Solid Waste Assessment Study. He explained that the City
contracts with Waste Pro to provide residential garbage collection services, while the City
currently bills customers monthly. The proposal would change the collection method by removing
the solid waste charge from the monthly utility bill and placing an annual non-ad valorem
assessment on the property tax bill. The level of collection service would not change.
Mr. Boveri reviewed the primary considerations supporting the proposed change, including
approximately five to seven percent in uncollected monthly charges, administrative billing costs,
and a contractual provision reducing Waste Pro’s charge by approximately $2.00 per account per
month if the assessment method is implemented. He explained tha …
