~~~-~~~~-a~~ <br />c. Regulated Recyclable Material Ordinance Amendments ~S'G <br />The Board received suggested amendments to the Regulated Recyclable Material <br />Ordinance, conducted a public hearing, and considered approval of the proposed amendments <br />on first reading. <br />Gayle Wilson said that they are here to answer technical questions. <br />Chair Jacobs asked if there was an annual report to them on all of these appeals, etc. <br />and Gayle Wilson said that there is not, but they could prepare one. <br />Chair Jacobs said that there should be some kind of reporting mechanism to the Board <br />of County Commissioners so that they can be apprised of what is taking place and Geof <br />Gledhill said that they could mandate this or put it in the ordinance. <br />John Link recommended that this report be part of the annual budget presentation by <br />the Solid Waste Department. He thinks that directing the Manager and the Budget Director to <br />include it as part of the budget material for solid waste would be appropriate. <br />Chair Jacobs suggested adding this as a resolution in the Manager's Recommendation <br />as #4, which would direct the Manager and the Budget Director as part of the Solid Waste <br />annual budget presentation to present the accounting of permits, relocations, and appeals. <br />The Board agreed. <br />Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 4 and asked for an explanation of the <br />strikethrough, "land clearing debris that is not sold as timber or chipped for use onsite or sale" <br />and why this is not within the County's purview. Geof Gledhill said that his recollection is that <br />this was deleted because land-clearing debris is not part of the ordinance, and this is a <br />technical change. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked why land-clearing debris was not put in the ordinance. <br />Geof Gledhill said that they decided to deal with land clearing debris in a different way. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Carey to <br />close the public hearing. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Foushee seconded by Commissioner Carey to <br />adopt the attached revised ordinance, which will amend the Regulated Recyclable Materials <br />Ordinance, and to direct the Manager and the Budget Director as part of the Solid Waste <br />annual budget presentation to present the accounting of permits, relocations, and appeals. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />9. Items for Decision--Regular Agenda <br />a. Next Steps on District Elections for the Board of County Commissioners for a <br />November 2006 Referendum <br />The Board considered the next steps on district elections for the Board of County <br />Commissioners for a November 2006 referendum; reviewed and discussed additional sets of <br />maps/plans, statistical data, and draft transition plans for a potential seven-member Board of <br />Commissioners; and considered any action, questions, and any further direction to staff. <br />Chair Jacobs said that after the last time they considered this, they realized that they <br />needed to define the lines of the districts and Commissioner Carey asked staff to prepare <br />another proposal. Commissioner Foushee and he met with staff on this and he and <br />Commissioner Halkiotis met once with staff and they came back with proposals A and B. <br />Geof Gledhill said that all of the proposals including A, B, Commissioner Carey's <br />proposal, and Commissioners Jacobs' proposal #3 will create aseven-member Board and each <br />would have a different number of district representatives and a different number of at-large <br />representatives. All of them would be nominated and elected by all Orange County citizens. <br />Commissioner Gordon would like to reconsider the motion on page 8, which states: <br />
