10 <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />We recommend that the Council discuss the issues addressed in this memorandum and prepare a <br />response to the County's proposal that includes the following objectives: <br />1. Use the most recent draft of the Interlocal Agreement as the starting point for the final <br />agreement between the three member governments. <br />2. Acquire a site for a construction and demolition landfill now, and incorporate the <br />commitment to use a specific location into the Interlocal Agreement. We still believe the site <br />on Old 86 is the most favorable. <br />3. Acquire a site for a materials recovery facility now and proceed to plan and build it. The <br />commitment to use a specific location should be incorporated into the Interlocal Agreement. <br />We recommend the site next to the landfill on the north side of Eubanks Road. <br />4. Include a commitment to the implementation of the county -wide integrated solid waste <br />management plan, as adopted by all four Orange Couily jurisdictions, into the Interlocal <br />Agreement. <br />5. Finalize an alternative method of financing future solid waste programs which cannot be <br />financed through tipping fees. We believe a countywide availability fee to be the most <br />suitable. <br />6. Conclude remaining issues concerning governing with the establishment of a conference <br />committee made up of 2 representatives of each jurisdiction. Such a committee would try to <br />resolve all differences, identify areas of disagreement remaining and revise the draft Interlocal <br />Agreement. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1. July 8 letter from Mayor Waldorf to Chair Margaret Brown (begin new page 1) <br />2. Eighth draft of Interlocal Agreement dated November 1, 1997 (begin new page 1) <br />3.
