4 <br />^ In cases where agreement from other parties is required for creation or changes to "other fees", requires <br />agreement from one party in addition to the County (rather than two). <br />^ With regard to future disposition of the Greene Tract, defines "Reimbursement Amount" and resolves <br />disbursement of proceeds resulting from future decisions regarding sale or other uses of the Greene Tract. <br />^ Changes the bargaining period concerning future uses, and whether to impose use restrictions on, the <br />remainder of the Greene Tract to be two years from the effective date of the agreement. This provision <br />effectively lengthens the time available to the parties to bargain about the ultimate uses or disposition of the <br />remainder of the Greene Tract. <br />^ More specifically defines "Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan" and "Solid Waste Management Plan <br />and Policies". <br />We hope that your Board will determine that the interlocal agreement as approved by the County is acceptable. <br />The Board of Commissioners has authorized me to sign this agreement if the other governing boards agree by <br />July 15, 1999. That timetable would permit our staffs to undertake the transition effort and accomplish the <br />handover of solid waste management responsibility to the County on January 1, 2000. As you will recall, a <br />transition period of about six months is needed to properly carry out the transfer of personnel from Town to <br />County employment, along with numerous other implementation tasks. Attachment 3, which was prepared for <br />the Commissioners' consideration at an earlier solid waste work session, reflects some of the most significant <br />transition milestones. If any of the current owners of the LOG assets are not able to approve the revised solid <br />waste management interlocal agreement by July 15, that will necessitate a postponement of the handover of <br />responsibility until six months after the governing boards do reach full accord on the interlocal agreement. <br />We appreciate your Board's open-mindedness as we have collectively worked through the challenges of finding <br />common ground among differing viewpoints. We likewise appreciate your commitment to implement long- <br />term solid waste management solutions that are effective, environmentally sensitive, and fiscally responsible. <br />Sincerely, <br />Q~- <br />Alice M.
