Minutes <br /> The Board considered correcting and/or approving the minutes from the Quarterly Public <br /> Hearing on February 23, 2009 as submitted by the Clerk to the Board. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to <br /> change line 4 on page 5. The paragraph should read, "Commissioner Jacobs said that the <br /> notices were very difficult to understand. He asked for clarification on whether it would change <br /> anything about the additional notified properties beyond the affected property. Craig Benedict <br /> said no." <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 6. Regular Agenda <br /> a. Transfer Station Site Search Follow-up Report <br /> The Board received follow up information on the solid waste transfer station site search <br /> and associated parallel track process as directed by the Board of County Commissioners on <br /> January 22, 2009 and provided feedback and directions for the next steps. <br /> Laura Blackmon said that at the January 22nd meeting staff was directed by the Board of <br /> Commissioners to look at the two sites selected and to investigate a parallel track with possible <br /> alternative approaches including partnerships with private corporations or with adjoining counties, <br /> and to utilize the Solid Waste Advisory Board as a forum for public input. <br /> Solid Waste Director Gayle Wilson summarized the information. Site 056 was appraised <br /> for one-third of the asking price for the property. The survey indicated that it was 142.71 acres. <br /> There were environmental surveys on this site and there has been a lot of public comment. The <br /> information has been submitted to the required agencies to make determinations. <br /> Regarding the OWASA site, 759, no right of entry was received and the County was <br /> unable to conduct assessments, surveys, or appraisals. <br /> Regarding the parallel track, alternative approaches, partnerships, and methodologies for <br /> solid waste disposal (Attachment B), Olver, Inc., has conducted a cost analysis of hauling directly <br /> to regional transfer stations. There was a forum for public comment on this issue. The analyses <br /> showed that it is more costly to direct haul for collection vehicles to a regional transfer station. It <br /> is also more costly to utilize regional transfer stations than the NC 54 transfer station. <br />
