At the October 8 LOG meeting, the LOG staff presented a creative proposal that through reconfiguration of the Eubanks Road landfill property, could accommodate construction of a materials recovery facility and transfer station. County and LOG staff have also examined options that could be considered to extend, for a few years at least, a construction and demolition disposal capability at Eubanks Road. LOG staff have also examined other potential C &D disposal sites that have recently been identified elsewhere in the County. Background materials prepared for the December 10 LOG meeting provide more detail on this issue.

There has been extensive discussion about the possible use of availability fees to finance most or all of the recycling and waste reduction programs, but the Committee has not reached a point where it is ready to recommend the use of that specific mechanism. The next meeting of this group is likely to take place during the third or fourth week of January 1999. Background materials from the Committee's most recent meeting are included for the Board's information. The Committee requested that each governing board review and comment on option III, namely that each jurisdiction would take responsibility for establishing and implementing its own revenue mechanism(s) for its share of recycling and waste reduction programs.

RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss the solid waste management issues identified in the abstract, and provide appropriate direction to staff.
