Submission of a three-year update is also required in 2000 in accordance with State law. <br />The plan update was presented to the BOCC during a public hearing August 15, 2000. There <br />were no speakers wishing to provide comments on the plan at the public hearing. <br />The plan has been approved by the Town of Hillsborough and is scheduled for review by <br />Chapel Hill on August 28 and by Carrboro on September 5. Staff recommends that the Board <br />ask questions and provide comments about any needed changes in the plan at the August 30 <br />work session, and consider adopting the attached resolution approving the plan's submission to <br />the State, either at the work session or as part of the agenda for the September 5 regular <br />BOCC meeting. If the Board wishes to make substantive changes to the plan later this year as <br />plans for implementation of some of the major elements of the solid waste plan become clearer, <br />staff can prepare another update for subsequent submission to the State. <br />
