Bradenton Beach commissioners will hold a public hearing Thursday, June 16, on a proposed ordinance to allow WastePro of Florida to collect garbage and yard waste.
The hearing will be held during the commission’s 1 p.m. regular meeting at city hall, 107 Gulf Drive N.
WastePro already holds a contract to collect recycling in Bradenton Beach. Earlier this spring, the commission selected the company as the top bidder for solid waste removal, a task currently handled by the city public works department.
Other agenda items include consideration of:
• A resolution repealing a registration requirement for boats anchored in city waters.
The commission had approved a registration requirement in October 2010, but has since received complaints about the rule, as well as questions about whether the registration conflicts with state law and concerns about whether the code enforcement department has the time to monitor registration.
The proposed resolution states, “After considering public comment and having considered supporting documentation and testimony from the staff, the city commission … has determined it to be in the best interest of the city to repeal” the registration rule.
The proposal states that the local registration rule would be eliminated, and the police department would “immediately begin enforcement of state registration on any vessel in city waters.”
• A proposal for LTA Engineers to survey the gateway area near Gulf Drive and Cortez Road for sidewalk construction on the west side of Gulf Drive.
• A request for a temporary-use permit for the Bridge Street Bistro, 111 Gulf Drive S., to place 45 seats for open-air seating for 60 days beginning June 30.
• The renewal of an agreement for Ricinda Perry to serve as the city attorney through December 2012.
