It was on it at one time, but it is not on it at the present time. <br /> 38 Commissioner Jacobs said that it looks like there is no food waste collected north of <br /> 39 Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Gayle Wilson said that Weaver Street Market in Hillsborough is <br /> 40 collected. Commissioner Jacobs made reference to Attachment A and said that Hillsborough <br /> 41 was not included in the list. Gayle Wilson said that this is the original agreement. He did not <br /> 42 include an updated list of current establishments. <br /> 43 Commissioner Jacobs said that he would like a renewed effort made to include the <br /> 44 school systems before signing this contract. He would like to see the additional waste <br /> 45 generated and if this would have a positive impact on the cost. He would also like to see an <br /> 46 updated list. <br /> 47 Commissioner Jacobs asked that this item be tabled. <br /> 48 Gayle Wilson said that he would get the list of establishments currently served right <br /> 49 away and he will initiate discussion with the schools. He said that staff has had on and off <br />
