disposal services within the City of Miami ("City"), approved the form of Franchise
Agreements for said services and authorized the City Manager to execute Franchise
Agreements with qualified providers for a new Franchise Agreement period to commence

contingent upon the City of Miami amending its Code for granting of franchises for
commercial solid waste collection for a five-year contract period. The current provisions
of Chapter 22 will continue to apply to each Franchise Agreement until such time as the
amendments adopted by the City Commission become law.

Emergency Ordinance for the City Commission to approve the necessary changes to
