“I was interested to see that the the issues or occurrences of this was not evenly distributed around the city. And I don't know, I would assume, I hope, that we were enforcing equally around the city.”

“I would also be supportive of the idea of a, I don't know what you call it, but a ramping up of fines that your first fine's a little lower, but if you're a repeat offender, we start getting a little more serious about it.”

“So can I just ask one clarification right now? The folks that go out on Wednesday and Thursday, they're doing two things, maybe more, but two big things. One is they're picking up stuff that's out on days when it shouldn't be out. Right. They're actually picking up stuff.”

“Yeah. And since they're not running regular routes and things, they're also being a little bit more vigilant on citing people. That's correct. Presumably, there's almost no case where there's a citation, but you're not picking something up. All of the citations are for picking something up. That's correct. And when you're picking something up, Well, it isn't necessarily oversize. It's just wrong day. And wrong day doesn't necessarily cost us more at the tipping station. Correct. Oversize does. Correct. So you're writing citations, some of which are oversize, and you're recovering the actual…”

“So we should definitely somebody should put some thought into what that QR code goes. Well, that's the idea of. broadening the education.”

“Seems like it's working other than, you know, the big fines. And with the fines, I heard the comment of, well, maybe we should give some sort of a credit. That was the word I was looking for. Thank you. You're welcome. For the first two months.”
City Commission · Sep 29, 2026

“Because if some people get a credit and some people don't, there better be something that we do differently to justify that the later people don't get any credits. We have a massive education campaign, and there's no way that you wouldn't know. Therefore, you're getting the full-on fine and no credits.”

“No, no, no, no, none of that. It does all the things that we've talked about, gives you other information. But here's what I want it to do. I stick it on the magnet on my refrigerator. I stick it on the postcard. I get it in the mail. It's got a QR code. I put it on the refrigerator. My phone knows where I am. I aim the phone at that postcard at the QR code. And it says today is when you put out your.”

“This is for Director Liberty. I see that we have something, an amendment for Archstone Inspections to do residential audits or overflow ones, which I assume overflow audits has nothing to do with overflow electricity, but the ones that we can't do with internal staff or maybe I misunderstand what overflow audits means, but I'm wondering whether it's possible for us to do that with staff that are here In general, I prefer to do things with our staff rather than contract out, just as a sort of general preference, because it builds institutional memory. It builds connection to the community in…”

“Well, and that that all seems pretty logical and reasonable. Here's a couple of thoughts. as energy prices go up a little bit, whether they'll stay up or not, I don't know, but, um, at least in the, in any case, there there's pressure in that direction. So electric costs are likely to go up some, a lot of other costs for people have gone up and there are, uh, you know, certainly portions of our community, substantial portions that are a bit strapped. And, um, I've long felt that there is quite a bit of elasticity in helping customers understand ways that they can manage their electric costs.…”

“I would be happy with that. I'd like to add one more thing. I don't think we should base our decision making on what has been the demand for it. The way I would approach it is I would say have somebody do a quick analysis of of, and it might have a spatial component to it, might not, but of households that are somewhat or a lot above the typical South Florida planning number of an annual average of on the order of 1,000 or maybe 1,200 kilowatts a month, and use that as a way of figuring out what the need is, if we have, and where they are, And you can refine it a little bit. If you've got…”

“Yeah, no, I wouldn't measure it on whether they think their bills are too high. I agree that would be pretty much the whole lot. But no, I would do it as my first cut. I would look partially geographically and partially, but more so, how far are they above that number that we're familiar with, sort of the typical planning number. And, you know, it's pretty easy analysis to do. We have all that data, and it's monthly data. It doesn't have to be any more refined than that. And look at it to see whether it – because I can guarantee you there are many households where it's a significant financial…”
