O WHEREAS, the Orange County Board of Commissioners views any LOG action on October 8, 1998 that would lead to initiation of siting any specific solid waste facility oii any specific parcel(s) of land as premature in that such actions would ostensibly be taken in a piecemeal, rather than comprehensive, approach and without a clear financing plan for both facility development and facility operation in place; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Orange County Board of Commissioners that it supports the staff recommendation in agenda item #4 of the scheduled LOG meeting agenda for October 8, 1998 that all member governments consider the concept of using a C&D materials separation ordinance and solid waste plan ordinance to reduce C&D waste landfilled; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Orange County Board of Commissioners supports the recommendation in agenda item #3 of the scheduled LOG meeting agenda for October 8, 1998 that following conclusion of negotiations with the MRF consultant, that work on development of that facility begin in November with a series of meetings involving LOG members, staff, consultants, and the public to discuss specific MRF concepts; AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Orange County Board of Commissioners does hereby urge the LOG to take no action at their October 8, 1998 meeting that would lead to acquisition or identification of any specific site for any specific solid waste facility, pending completion of discussions by the Chapel Hill Town Council of the County's August 1 ~, 1998 proposal, and pending examination of options (including use of a portion of the Greene Tract, and/or use of the new MRF site on LOG owned property that has been identified in item #5 of the scheduled LOG meeting agenda for October 8, 1998) that would reflect a comprehensive approach to solid waste facility siting. This, the 6t1i day of October, 1998.
