SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT GOALS <br />The Landfill Organization and Financing Options Work Group has been meeting <br />throughout 1995 to consider options for reorganizing the management of solid waste in Orange <br />County and its municipalities. During a series of meetings, the work group discussed and refined a <br />list of proposed solid waste management goals and a mission statement designed to help the group <br />establish a foundation for the future governance of the landfill and other solid waste management <br />activities. <br />In answer to a question from Commissioner Gordon, Commissioner Willhoit stated that <br />the Orange Solid Waste Management Group is a citizen group which has been meeting for several <br />years. Wilbert McAdoo is the County staff support for this group. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis <br />to adopt the solid waste management goals and mission statement as presented in the agenda. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />D. VOLUNTARY DUES -THE GREATER TRIANGLE REGIONAL COUNCIL <br />Chair Carey asked that the Board consider approving an allocation of $3,000 in <br />voluntary dues for the Greater Triangle Regional Council. The Council has very low administrative <br />fees and they have received grants from different businesses. He said that the Council is focusing <br />on three strategic directions: <br />1. the project to examine regional development choices <br />2. the Triangle Universities Research Consortium on Youth at Risk, and <br />3. regional wastewater management alternatives <br />Commissioner Gordon noted that this was a group created and sponsored by Triangle <br />J Council of Governments. When it was created, it was thought that resources would be raised <br />privately. She feels this item needs to be considered as part of the budget process. Her major <br />concern is that there are so many regional organizations that governments are trying to fund. She <br />also questioned if it is appropriate for this group to be working on a regional land use plan. <br />After additional discussion, the Board decided to consider this request during the <br />regular budget cycle. <br />ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA <br />
