• All community benefits to be provided <br />through the landfill enterprise. <br />• Seek a solution in which reduction of <br />waste and the economic viability of the <br />solid waste facility are in concert — right <br />now, when solid waste is reduced, the <br />landfill suffers financially. <br />CADEPTS \PUB WORMSMswch1117.doc <br />appears not to be an appropriate source <br />of funds for community improvements <br />unless there is some causative <br />relationship between the landfill <br />operations and the water problems <br />experienced by the neighbors. The <br />Council also opposes use of LOG funds <br />because of the double taxation issue. <br />The Council supports a countywide <br />source of revenue as the most equitable <br />means of funding for the extension of <br />water to the Rogers Road neighborhood. <br />The Council remains committed to the <br />financing of solid waste operations <br />which supports waste reduction yet <br />maintains the economic vitality of all <br />solid waste facilities. We are open to all <br />ideas, but we are uncommitted as to <br />how that can be accomplished until <br />hearing the recommendation of the LOG <br />Finance Committee. We agree with the <br />waste reduction goals of 45% by 2001 <br />and 61 % by 2006, as adopted by all four <br />governing boards. We support including <br />a commitment to the implementation of <br />the County-wide integrated solid waste <br />management plan, as adopted by all <br />four Orange County jurisdictions, into <br />the Interlocal Agreement. <br />Printed: 12/04/98 <br />D <br />
