r Memorandum To: John Link, Orange County Manager From: Gayle Wilson, Solid Waste Director Subject: Public Information Process for C&D Siting - Site 8 Date: June 9, 1999 At their June 1, 1999 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners expressed considerable interest in how the citizens in the area of Site 8 (Guess Rd.) would be informed and involved in the C&D facility siting process. This memorandum will suggest a timeline for proceeding to a final decision. We will also discuss issues likely to be important to both the citizens in the area and the Commissioners. An example of a public information bulletin is attached. Timeline Since the option to purchase agreement for the property under consideration expires on September 30, 1999 we have prepared a timeline which would allow the governing boards to consider this matter in late September. The following timeline represents a proposed schedule of public information events that will precede a final decision regarding possible siting of a construction and demolition disposal facility in Little River Township. * Week of July 5, 1999 Mailing of public information message to a targeted group of property owners explaining why we are looking at property in their neighborhood, the intended use of the property, how this type of disposal facility may impact the neighboring community, the process by which final decisions will be made regarding the property and the time frame for development of the property, if acquired. The goal of this information piece is to explain the nature of our interest in local property and to insure that neighbors of the site under consideration are kept apprised of our intentions. The recipients of this information are proposed to be: - property owners within 2,500 feet of the site's boundaries - Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Orange County elected officials Township Advisory Committee members?
