have all of the negative effects to the extent that people suggest. He said that he is in favor of Option D. Commissioner Hemminger said that she wanted something near the interstate and she does not like circumventing the process and upsetting neighborhoods. She believes that she would like to look at Option D and she is in favor of mitigation options for the Rogers Road area. She would like to continue conversations with Durham, in the event that it is needed in the short-term. She thinks that the County needs a waste transfer station so that it can be in control of its own waste. She agreed that changing the criteria would not produce a lot of other sites. Commissioner Jacobs said that he has considered it illuminating to listen to all of the citizens over time and he thinks that the County should look at short-term and long-term solutions. He said that he has always been a proponent of talking with Durham. In thinking about distances, Durham is not a whole lot farther than going to the Howell tract. He said that the waste centroid is near Chapel Hill and Carrboro, but the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro remain mute when it comes to how to provide amenities to the communities. He said that the County Commissioners need to pose questions to the Towns about the financial breaking point for them and which site is too far. He said that the Paydarfar site has great promise, but it is not right across from the school garden. He said that as far as the traffic, the County can work with DOT to ban trucks from Millhouse and Rogers Road. Hillsborough was able to work with DOT to ban trucks from Churton Street. He said that he would like to make a decision within the next 60 days. Commissioner Pelissier said that this issue has been on her mind more than anything else since she was sworn in. She said that she wants to meet all of the criteria but there is no ideal site. She said that she wants to talk about transparency. She said that no matter what the County Commissioners do, people will question their transparency and their process. She is not keen on exploring options with Durham because it would just be delaying the County's own decisions while shipping its waste elsewhere. Commissioner Nelson said that he is almost speechless about where this has ended up with the lack of transparency and ignoring criteria. He said that this is a mess. He said that he is generally not supportive of Durham for a long-term option. He said that he is not supportive of the Paydarfar property. In the short term, he suggests approaching Hillsborough about sending its waste as soon as it is practically possible to Durham, which could buy time with the landfill. Commissioner Gordon agreed that there is no ideal site. She said that one thing that is critical is that they get clarity on the interlocal agreement and the actual costs to the Towns, the County, and the taxpayers. She cannot support Option D because it did not follow the process or the criteria. She said that she does not want to open the search process again and she would like to make a decision by the end of November or first of December. She is surprised that there are four options, since the 41h option was just added, and does not meet the criteria. A motion was made by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Chair Foushee to direct staff to approach the Town of Hillsborough about hauling its waste to the City of Durham for a period of time. Commissioner Gordon said that the County Commissioners need to make their major decision about siting the transfer station first and then make Othe secondary decisions. Commissioner Nelson said that the decision is not going to be made tonight and he was just trying to buy some more time on the life of the landfill. Commissioner Jacobs said that he is hesitant to break this process into pieces. He would rather have an over-arching conversation with municipalities about their participation.
