29  companies for individual contracts;
30         2.  Actions by which a local government, at the end of

  1  contract and either awards the contract to another private
  2  company or decides for any reason to provide the collection
  3  service itself;
  4         3.  Actions taken against a private company because the
  5  company has acted in a manner threatening to the public health
  6  or safety or resulting in a substantial public nuisance;
  7         4.  Actions taken against a private company because the
  8  company has materially breached its contract with the local
  9  government;
10         5.  Refusal by a private company to continue operations
11  under the terms and conditions of its existing agreement
12  during the 3-year notice period;
13         6.  Entering into a contract with a private company to
14  provide garbage, trash, or refuse collection which contract is
15  not entered into under an ordinance that displaces or
16  authorizes the displacement of another private company
17  providing garbage, trash, or refuse collection;
18         7.  Situations in which a majority of the property
19  owners in the displacement area petition the governing body to
20  take over the collection service;
21         8.  Situations in which the private companies are
22  licensed or permitted to do business within the local
23  government for a limited time and such license or permit
24  expires and is not renewed by the local government. This
25  subparagraph does not apply to licensing or permitting
26  processes enacted after May 1, 1999, or to occupational
27  licenses; or
28         9.  Annexations, but only to the extent that the
29  provisions of s. 171.062(4) apply.
