-4 <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: August 31, 1999 <br />Action. Agenda <br />Item No. <br />SUBJECT: Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement <br />DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Draft Resolution <br />7/13/99 Letter from Mayor Waldorf <br />8/17/99 Town of Carrboro Resolution <br />Blacklined Version of Interlocal Agreement <br />- Sections Approved by BOCC on <br />8/17/99 (5 pages) (entire agreement <br />will be available at the meeting) <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />John Link or Rod Visser, ext 2300 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider how to proceed in securing final approval from the County's municipal <br />partners on the proposed Interlocal agreement covering future solid waste management. <br />BACKGROUND: At their August 17, 1999 regular meeting, the Board of Commissioners <br />approved an Interlocal agreement that would govern the organization and structure for future <br />solid waste management throughout Orange County. On the same evening, the Carrboro <br />Board of Aldermen adopted a resolution approving a similar version of that Interlocal <br />agreement, subject to a few modifications. <br />The Board may wish to consider adopting the attached resolution, or a modified version thereof, <br />to signal the Board's desire and intent to consummate the Interlocal agreement as approved by <br />the BOCC on August 17. The resolution notes the concerns raised by the Carrboro Board of <br />Aldermen in their August 17 action, and affirms the BOCC's commitment to addressing those <br />concerns, without modifying the language in the Interlocal agreement. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact related to consideration of the <br />attached resolution. Ultimately, adoption of the Interlocal agreement will affect the <br />administration of solid waste operations and the Landfill Enterprise Fund. However, it will have <br />no direct impact on the County General Fund, which will not be a source of underwriting for <br />overall solid waste management operations. Those will continue to be fully financed by the <br />Landfill Enterprise Fund. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the resolution and <br />provide appropriate direction to the Manager, Attorney, and staff on how to proceed. <br />
