Subject: Proposed Resolution Approving the Reimbursement of $92,762.73 to
Allied Waste Industries, Inc., Paid to the City in Error, for Miscoded Accounts per
the Citv's Solid Waste Non -Exclusive Franchise Fee Agreement.
Background Information:
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 11837, passed on September 28, 1999, the City Commission
amended Chapter 22, entitled Garbage and Other Solid Waste of the City Code to replace
regulatory permits for providing Commercial Solid Waste Services with commercial
Franchises to qualified firms. It was determined that it was in the best interest of the City
to issue a commercial franchise to Franchisees to engage in Commercial Waste
Collection Services within the City.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 04-0496, adopted July 22, 2004, the City Commission
authorized the City Manager to execute franchise agreements with qualified providers for
Citywide commercial solid waste collection. The franchise agreement with qualified
providers was intended to be contingent upon the City amending Chapter 22 of the City
Code, which was subsequently amended.
Resultantly, on March 16, 2007, a Miami -Dade County audit determined that Allied
Waste Industries, Inc. remitted, in error, $121,391.53 for said franchise fees to the City of
Miami that were due to the County.
Subsequently, on March 26, 2007, Victor I. Igwe, Auditor General, of the City of Miami,
submitted correspondence detailing an audit (No. 08-004) conducted by said office and
determined of the amount paid $28,628.80 was due to the City of Miami and the
company is entitled to a reimbursement of $92,762.73. Said funds are to be allocated
from Account No. 04001.213000.549000. The appropriate supporting documents are
attached.
