Staff recommends that the regular Commissioners' meeting scheduled <br />for 7:30 pm at the F. Gordon Battle Courtroom be moved to the District Courtroom on the <br />second floor of the Courthouse. The second floor courtroom is bigger and more likely to <br />accommodate the large audience that will likely want to attend that meeting. <br />September 16. 1999 -The Commissioners may wish to schedule a public hearing to receive <br />public comment on the potential C&D sites reported at the September 7 meeting. This meeting <br />is also recommended to be conducted at 7:30pm in the second floor courtroom at the Orange <br />County Courthouse in Hillsborough. The Board may also wish to invite the participation in this <br />public hearing by the municipal governing boards. <br />September 29, 1999 -The North Carolina Administrative Code requires that before final <br />approval is given to a municipal solid waste landfill, the local government where the landfill is to <br />be located "shall hold at least one public meeting to inform the community of the proposed <br />waste management activities". The local government must further "provide a public notice of <br />the meeting at least 30 days prior to the meeting". While extensive public information about the <br />C&D activities that are currently being considered has already been provided, in order to meet <br />the specific regulatory notice requirement, staff recommends that the Board establish an <br />additional special meeting for 7:30pm on September 29, 1999 in the second floor courtroom of <br />
