BACKGROUND: Under the County's current proposal to assume overall solid waste management responsibility, the Boazd of Commissioners is slated to approve the 1999-2000 Landfill Fund budget that is currently administered by the Town of Chapel Hill. Responses received to date from all municipalities have indicated their agreement with this aspect of the Commissioners' proposal. The Landfill Owners' Group met on May 6 and considered the proposed budget. The LOG voted unanimously to support the 1999-2000 budget as presented (without any of the potential program/service additions), with the stipulation that funding for the landfill community benefits be addressed during 1999-2000 budget deliberations. County Public Works staff and Chapel Hill. Solid Waste Department staff have collaborated to prepaze the attached summary of the major elements of the proposed 1999-2000 landfill fund budget. A summary of significant questions and responses from the May 6 LOG meeting is attached as well. No decision action is required at this meeting. However, the Boazd will need to consider giving approval to the 1999-2000 Landfill Fund budget at an upcoming meeting. Approval of the Landfill Fund budget has been tentatively scheduled for the Commissioners' June 1 meeting. Approval by the Commissioners at that meeting will subsequently permit the Chapel Hill Town Council to include the Landfill Fund when it approves the Town's 1999-2000 Budget Ordinance at its June 14 meeting. The Town of Chapel Hill will continue to administer the Landfill Fund until handover to the County later in FY1999-2000. The handover is scheduled to take place six months after the consummation of a solid waste management interlocal agreement between the County and the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough.
