FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Landfill Fund is administered by the Town of Chapel Hill as aself-funded <br />enterprise operation. The County will assume operations sometime during the 1999-2000 fiscal yeaz and <br />will continue operations under the same principles. There will be no direct impact on the County's <br />General Fund or on the County's ad valorem property tax rate from the County's assumption of overall <br />solid waste responsibility. The proposed Landfill Fund budget includes an increase in the tipping fee <br />from $38/ton to $39/ton for mixed solid waste (MSW). Based on an estimate of 12,600 tons of MSW to <br />be collected and disposed of by Orange County Public Works, the impact from the tipping fee increase is <br />estimated at $12,600 for 1999-2000. This increase will be included in the recommended County budget <br />for the Public Works Department. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Boazd discuss the Landfill Fund budget <br />and provide direction to staff on any changes that may be required. Staff would then prepaze a resolution <br />for the Boazd's consideration at the June 1 meeting that would convey the approved elements of the 1999- <br />2000 Landfill Fund budget, which will be formally adopted by the Chapel Hill Town Council. <br />
