4, We believe that the Landfill Fund appears not to be an appropriate source of funds for community improvements unless there is some causative relationship between the landfill operations and the water problems experienced by the ncighbors_ The Council also opposes use of LOG funds because of the double taxation issue. The Council supports a countywide source of revenue as the most equitable means of funding for the extension of water to -the Rogers Road neighborhood. 10 7. The Council remairLS committed to the financing of the solid waste operations which supports waste reduction yet maintains the economic vitality of all solid waste facilities. We are opts to all ideas, but we are uncommitted as to how that can be accomplished until hearing the recommendation of the LOG Finance Committee. - _ 8. We agree with thz waste reduction goals of 45% by 241 and 61 % by 20(x, as adopted by all four governing boards. - 9. We support including a commitment to the implementation of the County-wide integrated solid waste management plan, as adopted by all four Qraage County jurisdictions, into the Interiocal - Agrrement. --- -. Community Benefits - 1. We reiterate that we believe that the issue ~of double taxation is as important one which the one- . cent sales tax.praposal does. not resolve. 4Vc believe that all County residcaLS should share. .~ equally in the futlding of any water service lines provided to the cammuituiy arotuid the Yaadfill, using the principle of one personlone tax The Council opposes using the one cent salts tax for providing benefits as double taxation and suppoits a countywide source of reveaiu see #~ _ above). - Governaace/Mana~ernent . 1. We think it desirable that when the County assumzes operational contra? that it .becomes responsible for the budget at the same time. ?ht Council remains committed to'its July 2 _ resolution that. all of the solid waste issues now. pending be resolved before any agrecmmt on change is governance is made. Thtse~ncltuie siting of s construction and demolition waste facility and a tnatcrial recovery facility by the fall of 1998, fdcntifying locations for the transfer . station and resolution of fiuuiz financing methods for solid waste operations.. Therefore the Council defers action on this condition until after these decisions have been made. 2. _ We suggest the wording provided in.the Intcrlocal.Agrecrnent _ "All of` the system employees will be transferred to the County and become County employees subject to the supervision of the County Manager in the same fashion as other County employees."
