We <br />are giving first priority to a Reso on of�reement oilite Annexat�o governing bodies would <br />hopefully agree to before the s b wor 'c�a ' <br />{ . -y p[sXlde� nt 1 a. Robert is trying to <br />get this on his Council's agen <br />�w.uwwrasa6,..�,.� <br />I have also discussed the other 7oa t l�k*m 4t- A tc S�q 'with Robert. He <br />believes, and I agree, that this' on' y he a planning directors <br />during the course of the s the next few weeks, I <br />believe that would be a si _ A. <br />f' r X�, ;, �� <br />2. <br />The Solid Waste Alternative Financing Committee met a number of times earlier this fiscal year to consider <br />options to generate additional revenue to support the new facilities and programs that will be necessary to meet <br />our solid waste reduction goals. One idea that has been suggested is a set of service districts in which ad <br />valorem taxes could be levied at different rates as necessary to support the specific level of solid waste services <br />that might be provided in those individual districts. <br />The materials at Attachment 2 were provided to the Chapel Hill Town Council as an analysis of the feasibility <br />of solid waste service districts. We are passing this along now, as it seems that with the County's pending <br />assumption of solid waste management responsibility, it is unlikely that the Alternative Financing Committee <br />will meet again and likely that the Board of Commissioners will make the ultimate decisions on solid waste <br />financing mechanisms. <br />AREA <br />• 968 -4501 • 688.7331 • 227 -2031 • <br />
