RESOLUTION NO. 5 -89/90
A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, PALM BEACH
COUNTY, FLORIDA, URGING THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY AND THE PALM BEACH
COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION NOT TO SUPPORT THE
TRANSFER OF ALL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES FROM THE SOLID
WASTE AUTHORITY OF PALM BEACH COUNTY TO THE BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, AND NOT TO SUPPORT A
RESTRUCTURING OF THE SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY BOARD.
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the Village
Council of the Village of Tequesta that the selection and
purchase of land in the unincorporated area of Palm Beach
County, West of Boca Raton (Site 1) for the siting of a landfill
and possible resource recovery plant continues to be opposed by
certain residents and landowners in the affected area; and
WHEREAS, as a result thereof, one County Commissioner has
caused the preparation of a draft bill which would repeal
chapter 75 -473, Laws of Florida, as amended, which established;
the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County. A copy of the
draft bill is attached hereto as Exhibit "A ".
WHEREAS, said draft bill would transfer assets and
liabilities of the Solid Waste Authority to the Board of County
Commissioners, ostensibly for the purpose of negating the
selection of Site 1 as the future location of the South Countl's
landfill and resource recovery plant; and
WHEREAS, the abolition or restructuring of the Solid Waste
Authority is clearly not in the best interest of a majority of
the people in Palm Beach County because it would not adequately
provide for municipal representation; and
WHEREAS, the municipalities of the County continue to have
a strong governmental interest in the collection and disposal of
solid waste.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY the Village Council of
the Village of Tequesta, Florida:
R Section 1. The Board of County Commissioners is strongly
urged not to recommend any bill which repeals Chapter 75 -463,
Laws of Florida, or attempts to restructure the membership
balance of the Solid Waste Authority Board.
Section 2. The Legislative Delegation of Palm Beach County
is likewise strongly urged to reject removal of governing
authority for solid waste disposal from the Solid Waste
Authority of Palm Beach County, or to permit the restructuring
of the membership to shift the membership balance of the Solid
Waste Authority Board.
Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately
upon its adoption. 1
Section 4. Copies of this Resolution shall be forwarded by
the Village Clerk to members of the Board of County
Commissioners and the Legislative Delegation.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was offered by
Councilmember William E. B , who moved its adoption. The
