r ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 30, 1999 Action Agenda Item No. q_c, SUBJECT: Solid Waste Mana ement Interlocal A reement DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: As noted in "Background" John Link or Rod Visser, ext 2300 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To consider approval of an interlocal agreement between the County and the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough that would govern the future structure of solid waste management in Orange County. BACKGROUND: At their June 15, 1999 meeting, the Board of Commissioners discussed concerns with several aspects of the Town of Chapel Hill's reaction to the June 1, 1999 version (Attachment 1) of the draft solid waste management interlocal agreement. Due to time constraints, the Board of Commissioners did not complete review and discussion of the agreement. The Board's concerns, as well as reaction to portions of the June 1 draft from the Chapel Hill and Carrboro governing boards, were summarized in a memo (Attachment 2) from Attorney Bob Jessup. Mayor Waldorf has sent a letter (Attachment 3) which transmitted a resolution (Attachment 4) adopted at the June 21, 1999 meeting of the Chapel Hill Town Council. This resolution modifies the Town's previous position regarding the disposition of the Greene Tract. The Board will review Chapel Hill's resolution and consider any modifications that may be necessary as a basis for the Chair to sign the interlocal agreement with Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough. Draft suggested amendments to the current version of the interlocal agreement will be prepared that are intended to allay any remaining Board concerns about the disposition of the Greene Tract, and other issues not previously addressed by the Board of Commissioners. These amendments will be circulated for the Board's consideration during the first part of the week of June 28. 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.
