ATTACHMENT 5 <br />TOWN OF CARRBORO <br />NORTH CAROLINA <br />March 30, 1998 . <br />Ms. Margaret Brown, Chair <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />P.O. Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br />Dear Margaret: <br />The Carrboro Board of Aldermen met in a special worksession on Thursday, March 26, <br />1998 to discuss solid waste management issues. The Board made the following <br />responses to your letter dated February 20, _.1998 concerning proposed community <br />benefits to the neighborhoods around the Eubanks Road Landfill: <br />Benefit #1 Water /Sewer Extensions Potential Approaches Cost Allocation. and Other <br />Issues <br />SEWE <br />The Board reconfirms its willingness to compromise on the issue of sewer connections. <br />However, the Board believes that the three governments, under the leadership of the <br />County, should explore the possibility of extending sewer lines to the historic Rogers <br />Road community. Options such as CDBG funds or a bond referenda could be explored. <br />(Question A -1) <br />WATER <br />The Board reconfirms its position that installation of water lines serves as insurance in <br />terms of future potential litigation. (A -2) Because of this, our attorney advises us that <br />tipping fees (A4) could be used for community benefits, including water extensions. We <br />are interested in keeping all options open at this time, including CDBG and a bond <br />referenda. It is our opinion that the county government, which represents all taxpayers, <br />should take the lead on this. (C) <br />With regard to the area to be served with water, the Board concurs with the County that <br />the historic Rogers Road neighborhood should be included in any benefit related to waxer <br />quality.
