Alderman Anderson asked that the issue of social justice for the residents near of the current landfill site <br />be resolved. <br />Aldermen Anderson and Caldwell both agreed that providing water and sewer would resolve this issue <br />for them. Also, trucks need to be required to use Eubanks Road and Hwy. 86 rather than Rogers Road. The <br />residents of this area want this to be resolved and they would like to have the resolution in writing as soon as <br />possible. <br />Geof Gledhill indicated that this type of compensation would be legal. <br />Mayor Johnson suggested that the Landfill Owners Group and Chapel Hill be asked to run water and <br />sewer to the area so that the process can move forward. <br />Council Member Andresen felt that running water lines made sense, however, it does not follow that <br />sewer should be provided. <br />Chair Carey proposed holding a public forum on April 18. The OC17 site could be considered at that <br />time as well as a discussion of mining as an alternative to mitigate the impact of solid waste disposal in the <br />landfill. <br />Mayor Nelson stated that he did not want to see Carrboro's issues slowed down by the planning of the <br />Public Forum. <br />Alderman Bryan suggested that each unit of Government present information on the issues they think <br />are important at the Public Forum. <br />The Landfill Owners Group will be charged with planning the agenda and structure of the Public Forum. <br />AFFORDABLE HOUSING <br />Council Member Brown suggested having the governmental bodies incorporate language into their <br />respective ordinances which would allow inclusionary zoning without the necessity of going to the General <br />Assembly. <br />There was consensus on this request which was that it be referred to the attorney for each of the units <br />of government. <br />REVENUE SOURCES <br />Council Member Brown asked that revenue options for varying transit options be discussed. She also <br />suggested that Durham be invited to participate along with Orange County. <br />Chair Carey suggested that this be on the next agenda to allow for full discussion. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />This meeting was adjourned. The next regular meeting of the A.O.G. will be held on September 30, <br />1996 at the OWASA Community Meeting Room, Jones Ferry Road, Carrboro, NC. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Kathy Baker, Deputy Clerk <br />Board of County Commissioners
