G 1) If this course of action is pursued, delay needs to be avoided. It is recommended that the County should seek the Town's decision on this matter in no less than 60 days. 2) If the Town can not make a timely decision, then the County should move forward with another option. 3) The other provisions as outlined in Option A apply. Option C: City of Durham transfer station — If the BOCC sees this option as a viable solution, then: 1) Authorize the BOCC Chair and County Manager to proceed with validating a potential inter -local agreement between Orange County and the City of Durham formalizing future arrangements. 2) Direct county staff to begin working with the towns with regards to formalizing waste stream flow commitments so that any agreement with the City of Durham provides the towns and county the best rate possible over the course of the long -term agreement.
