Rogers Road community. She is not opposed with having a work session, but she agrees with <br /> Commissioner Jacobs that the Towns have been invited to participate and they have not done <br /> so. <br /> Commissioner Pellisier said that she would like to invite the Towns, but if they do not <br /> want to come, she would still like to have a work session so that she can feel comfortable. She <br /> would like to make an official decision to not have a temporary waste transfer station on Eubanks <br /> Road. <br /> Commissioner Hemminger said that she would like to vote on getting an environmental <br /> impact statement. She would also like to invite the Towns again. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Yuhasz, seconded by Commissioner Nelson <br /> to approve recommendations 4 and 5: <br /> Authorize the County Attorney to execute the March 11, 2009 letter of agreement <br /> between the County and Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice to handle litigation on behalf of <br /> the County arising from or related to the County's Solid Waste Transfer Station siting <br /> process; and <br /> Direct County Management to bring back to the BOCC the ruling from the Planning <br /> Department pending receipt and review of the State Clearinghouse Report on the <br /> Environmental Assessment of candidate site 056. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Chair Foushee that <br /> there would be no temporary waste transfer station on Eubanks Road, to request an <br /> environmental impact statement or the Board's equivalent, that the County would consult <br /> with the affected fire department, and that the Towns would be invited to a work session, <br /> particularly the officials. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz said that#5 addresses the environmental assessment and he <br /> would not want to presuppose the results of that, which would call for an environmental impact <br /> statement. Commissioner Jacobs said that he added the word "equivalent" because if it was a <br /> private application, the County would require a level of specificity. Commissioner Yuhasz was <br /> satisfied with this. <br /> Commissioner Nelson said that staff asked for feedback on the contingency plans. <br /> Laura Blackmon said that it would be helpful to discuss the economic impacts in a work session. <br /> Commissioner Nelson said that the Board has not discussed the need to keep additional <br /> capacity in the landfill just in case of an emergency. He would like to talk about the costs and <br /> benefits of keeping 6-12 months of waste capacity. <br /> Gayle Wilson said that there are regulatory limitations on how long a landfill can be land- <br /> banked. There would have to be some ongoing activity. <br /> Commissioner Nelson asked the staff to bring the Board more information on this at the <br /> work session. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 7. Reports - NONE <br /> 8. Board Comment <br /> Commissioner Jacobs invited all to a reception of the Triangle J Council of Governments <br />
