z ,. "The deed to this property will include a restriction prohibiting the use of the parcel for burying solid waste or as a construction and demolition waste disposal site. This restriction would become effective at the same time that the contemplated rezoning is effective; and it would remain effective so long as zoning remains effective which allows solid waste management uses other than burial of waste, as permitted uses". 2) language providing that any changes in "governmental fees" would need to be approved by at least the County and two other governing bodies, or the County and one of the two largest municipalities 3) similar language governing changes to "other fees" The Board may wish to discuss its views on these three remaining outstanding points, or any other points, and to provide direction to the Chair on the terms and conditions of an interlocal agreement which she may sign on the Commissioners' behalf. The Board may also wish to provide direction to the Manager and staff regarding implementation instructions. In July, County and Town staffs re- engaged the administrative process begun several years ago that would transfer solid waste operations, staff, and equipment to the County from the Town. With that head start, it is feasible for handover to be accomplished on January 1, 2000 if atl governing boards approve the interlocal agreement by the first Tuesday in September. If the boards are unable to reach final agreement, the transition process will need to be delayed (or terminated, if an impasse is reached) and the handover scheduled to revert to six months from the date an interlocal agreement is signed. The section entitled "Effective Date" on page 3 of the proposed agreement refers to a date of July 15 by when all parties were to have signed the interlocal agreement. Obviously, this date has passed without the document being signed. The Board will need to authorize the Chair to sign a version of the agreement which changes this date to a future date, which the Manager recommends be cited as September 7. That timing should allow all parties to the agreement adequate time to finish review of the final version and still allow a January 1 handover (since County and Town staffs have begun the administrative transition process). FINANCIAL IMPACT: Adoption of the interlocal agreement will affect the administration of solid waste operations and the Landfill Enterprise Fund. However, it will have no direct impact on the County General Fund, which will not be a source of underwriting for overall solid waste management operations. Those will continue to be fully financed by the Landfill Enterprise Fund. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) approve the interlocal agreement as circulated to the municipalities in early July (including "errata" changes contained in the July 7 letter from the Chair); 2) address the remaining concerns articulated by the Chapel Hill Town Council as described in the July 16 joint memorandum from the Chair and Mayor Waldorf; 3) authorize the Chair to sign the agreement, and 4) provide appropriate implementation instructions to staff.
