1) Authorize the County Manager to proceed with validating an inter -local agreement between Orange County and the City of Durham formalizing future arrangements. 2) Direct County Management to begin working with the Towns on amending the 1999 Inter -local Agreement is necessary with regard to the County obligation to provide solid waste disposal facilities and 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 a long -term agreement. Option C: County owned property north of old landfill off of Millhouse Road — If the BOCC sees merit in this option, then: 1) Direct County Management to begin the process associated with reimbursing the Parks and Open Space Fund for the purchase of the Paydarfar property ($191,172). 2) Authorize a reimbursement resolution for the project and authorize Financial Services to initiate actions to secure financing for land acquisition, professional services, and other project related expenditures as may be required, including budget amendments. 3) Request Town of Chapel Hill to donate two adjacent parcels (PIN #9871702353; 9870890971) 4) Direct the County Clerk to begin solicitation of volunteer representatives from the Millhouse Road area to serve on a Community Advisory Committee to be appointed by the BOCC to help guide the design /development phase of the project per BOCC authorization January 2009 Note 1: Public water and sewer is located very near this property and could be extended to the site via a bore under the railroad. If there is value in extending those utilities to the site (for this facility and the future park facilities on the parcel to the north) then an amendment would be required to the Water /Sewer Boundary Agreement. We believe the site can be serviced with a well and septic tank system so this item might be considered as part of developing the future park site. Note II: Selection of this site will generate community concern and opposition. While not fully mitigating the selection of this site upon all parties, it is suggested that the BOCC might consider allocating some portion of the land purchase differential between the Hwy 54 site ($935,000 appraised value) and the acquisition reimbursement on the County owned site ($191,172) totaling $744,838 as seed money toward public facility improvements in the area (utilities, park improvements, etc.) Note III: Alternatively, the BOCC might consider a landfill /transfer station County - Municipal solid waste disposal surcharge ($1.00 per ton generates approximately $57,000 annually) and dedicate it to the surrounding community (within 3000 feet) for improvements, including utilities and other public facilities. This surcharge could be implemented beginning July 1, 2010, initially applied to the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill tonnage.
