Commissioner Bole mentioned that the City should be selling itself as well and expressed that there shouldn't be anymore restrictions placed on the application.

CM Gerrity referenced himself and mentioned that he's not qualified to be a department head in any of the departments however, with his background, he's learned a lot. CM Gerrity added that the idea is to look for someone who probably doesn't have any expertise in one field but knows how to keep things out of trouble. Commissioner Kelly seconded the idea of going back through the current applications. She mentioned that it would be great to have someone who is able to come in and coordinate/manage operations. Commissioner Ring encouraged the Commission to think outside of the box. She suggested providing housing or a place of residency for the City Manager as an additional benefit. Commissioner Waters emphasized the importance of having a candidate that could relate with all aspects of AB. He also encouraged interviewing multiple candidates. Mayor Ford suggested offering a monthly stipend for housing or a one time hiring bonus and address that it is for the high cost of living, with the assumption that the CRC would make the recommendation for change. There was a CONSENSUSto have Commissioners come back with 3 options from the current applications and discuss them at the next meeting.

SUBMITTED BY:Melissa Burns,Director of Finance TODAY’S DATE:June 15,2023 MEETING DATE:June 26,2023 BACKGROUND:In June 2021,the City of Atlantic Beach entered into an agreement with GFL Environmental (GFL)effective Aug.1,2021,to provide solid waste collection and disposal services for its residents and commercial customers.The agreement stipulated how and when the rates that GFL could adjust the rates it charges the City to provide the services.The rates are broken down into collection,fuel and disposal components.The two components that are subject to periodic adjustments are the fuel and collection components. The fuel component may be adjusted semi-armually.The fuel adjustment component (FAC)is adjusted based on fuel pricing set at 10%above the fuel pricing as per “On Highway Retail Diesel Price”Lower Atlantic Region,U.S.Department of Energy,Energy Infonnation Administration.In May 2022,GFL exercised this option and increased the fuel component by $1.29 per month, effectively raising the rates that GFL charges the City by 7.4%.On May 19,2023,GFL noti?ed the City that the fuel component rate was decreasing to $3.22 per month from $3.71,resulting in an overall decrease of 2.5%. The City was noti?ed on May 27,2022,of a CPI increase of 7.1%for the collection component, to take effect on October 1,2022,raising the overall rate GFL charges the City by 3.2%.On May 17’2023,GFL noti?ed the City that the collection component rate will increase by 6.7%effective Oct.1,2023,resulting in an overall increase of 3.2%. While the City accounts for its solid waste operations in an enterprise fund;the rate the City currently,charges does not cover the cost of the solid waste collection services that GFL is providing,and does not cover additional expenses the City incurs providing solid waste collection functions. Agenda Item #9.A. 26 Jun 2023 Page 23 of 36 The monthly residential rate GFL will charge the City effective Oct.1,2023,is $19.46 per month. To cover the GFL charges and additional City solid waste function expenses,and to provide reserves for emergencies,the City’s is adding 8%to the amount GFL charges,bringing the monthly residential collection rate to $21.02 --a 16.63%increase.
