4 <br />Proposed Community Benefits to Neighborhoods in the Vicinity of the Eubanks Road Landfill <br />Following the Board's February 10, 1998 work session on solid waste issues, the Chair sent a letter <br />to the Mayors of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough. The letter summarized the <br />Commissioners' discussion on proposed community benefits and solicited comments from the <br />municipal governing boards concerning the Commissioners' conclusions and recommendations. <br />The letter to Mayor Waldorf also included a section (I3) seeking information about the Town of <br />Chapel Hill's experience in managing the landfill and other solid waste activities. That information <br />has been addressed in various attachments to this abstract, and in Mayor Waldorfs return letter. <br />The Board may wish to review and discuss the responses to Commissioner Brown's February 20, <br />1998 letter that have been received from Mayor Nelson and Mayor Waldorf, and consider possible <br />next steps regarding the proposed community benefits. <br />R.ECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss issues surrounding <br />the possible assumption by the County of overall solid waste management responsibility, and <br />possible next steps related to community benefits; and provide appropriate direction to the Manager <br />and staff. <br />
