OLD BUSINESS:
CC Bradshaw met with GFL Environmental representative over concerns with GFL’s lack of customer service. GFL advised that as of April 1st there were 752 residents that received services from January through the end of March that have not paid their bills. In the contract, there is a section that allows GFL to renegotiate the cost if the number of residents receiving service falls below 4,500. At this point that number is at 3,800 not including the 752 delinquent accounts. Any account that remains delinquent, GFL will retrieve those containers along with the trash and will turn those accounts over to collections. GFL will be sending a letter to CA Beard in the next few weeks requesting a meeting to renegotiate the cost of service.
NEW BUSINESS:
Ald. Oldenettel called a meeting of the Parks & Lakes Committee for April 17, 2023 at 5:15 p.m. to discuss policy regarding the transfer of lake lots to family members. She also asked for a meeting to discuss drafting an ordinance to address temporary structures, shipping containers, and temporary car ports on residential properties. CDD Nyberg briefly discussed permitting requirements for accessory structures, noting that updates to that ordinance could be made that would ensure that all requests to construct accessory or temporary structures come before the Plan Commission for approval.

Ald. Cook called a meeting of the Public Protection Committee for April 17, 2023 at 5:30 p.m. to discuss the appointment of a Commander and elimination of a Lieutenant position in the Jacksonville Police Department.
