Summary
Councilman Krauss proposed adding a trash can at the southeast corner near the Winn‑Dixie/EV charging station, then asked staff to seek permission from the private property owner; his amended motion to contact Winn‑Dixie died for lack of a second and no action was taken.
Councilman Krauss reported to the CRA board that recently installed downtown trash cans are being used and proposed adding one more can at the southeast corner across from the electric vehicle charging station by the Winn‑Dixie.
Krauss described the location and said the cans 'are really being used' and proposed either installing a city trash can there or asking Winn‑Dixie whether the city could place and service one on that private property. He suggested staff reach out to Winn‑Dixie and offer the trash can at city expense while providing pickup service on the same terms as other downtown cans.
Krauss moved to install a trash can and then amended the motion to 'reach out to Winn‑Dixie and ask them whether they would welcome a trash can being installed there at city expense.' The chair asked for a second; none was provided and the chair said the motion died for lack of a second. No further action was taken at the meeting.
Next steps: none recorded — the proposal will require a board motion with a second at a future meeting if the board wishes to pursue permission from the property owner.
