5 Staff will summarize information at the meeting, and elected officials can discuss this item as necessary. OTHER TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION AND FUTURE MEETING OPTIONS 1 COMMON LAND USE GOALS — Elected Leaders continuing communication and cooperation on land use issues. 2. SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING — Elected Leaders opportunity to discuss further coordination. 3. EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTION — scheduling regular meetings between the City and County elected leaders. This item provides the opportunity for elected officials to discuss how to possibly interact more significantly. The Mebane City Council and Board of Commissioners met informally approximately ten years ago and tonight's meeting may be the first joint meeting of the governing boards since. At present, the Orange County Board of Commissioners and the Town of Hillsborough Board of Commissioners regularly meet once per year to discuss issues of common interest. The County Board of commissioners is also involved in several multi jurisdictional meetings each year with the elected boards from the Town of Chapel Hill, Town of Carrboro, and the Town of Hillsborough (examples: Assembly of Governments meetings, Joint Planning Area meetings). Elected leaders may want to discuss scheduling a regular annual meeting, similar to tonight's, which would allow for more consistent sharing of information and perspectives. 4. OTHER This item provides the opportunity for elected officials to raise any other potential items for discussion. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with discussion of these topics. There are no action items requiring formal Board decisions.
