� <br /> Solid Waste Director Gayle Wilson said that the County schools are not on the food <br /> waste program. It was on it at one time, but it is not on it at the present time. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that it looks like there is no food waste collected north of <br /> Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Gayle Wilson said that Weaver Street Market in Hillsborough is <br /> collected. Commissioner Jacobs made reference to Attachment A and said that Hillsborough <br /> was not included in the list. Gayle Wilson said that this is the original agreement. He did not <br /> include an updated list of current establishments. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that he would like a renewed effort made to include the school <br /> systems before signing this contract. He would like to see the additional waste generated and if <br /> this would have a positive impact on the cost. He would also like to see an updated list. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked that this item be tabled. <br /> Gayle Wilson said that he would get the list of establishments currently served right away <br /> and he will initiate discussion with the schools. He said that staff has had on and off discussions <br /> with the schools and have implemented pilot programs, with no success. There have been <br /> quality control issues. <br /> Jamezetta Bedford from CHCCS said that the school board signed a new contract that <br /> begins July 1St. As of January, they have created a Sustainability Committee, so the timing of <br /> this is good. <br /> Frank Clifton suggested approving the contract and having staff bring back the <br /> information because this is a sole-source vendor and the contract expires on June 30tn <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Hemminger, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to <br /> approve the renewal of the service contract with Judy D. Brooks Contractor, to collect and <br /> compost food waste and authorize the Chair to sign the renewal; with the stipulation that the <br /> County Commissioners receive an updated list of establishments before June 30t`', and that <br /> conversations are initiated before June 30t`' with the school systems. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that if there is an increase in the waste, then a lower fee might <br /> be negotiated. <br /> Frank Clifton said that he understands the objection, but this is not a service he would like <br /> to disrupt. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz said that he agreed with Commissioner Jacobs in principle but it <br /> will be difficult to negotiate something with the schools to ensure that they will be on board by the <br /> time that this contract begins. He said that the contract is subject to renegotiation at the end of <br /> the first year. <br /> VOTE: 6-1 (Commissioner Jacobs) <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that he would still like to initiate a conversation with the <br /> vendor and the schools to see if it would have a positive impact on the rates in future years of the <br /> contract. <br /> 6.
