For information purposes the bond "not to exceed" amounts are listed below. The total is $60,600,000 which would have a tax impact of an additional 3.85 cents per $100 of valuation, rather than around 11 cents, since the rest of the increase would be absorbed in the county budget.

A. INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK The County Commissioners discussed on June 5, 1997 a framework for implementation of an integrated solid waste management plan involving the County, and the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. At their meeting on May 28, 1997, the Landfill owners' Group (LOG) adopted a resolution that endorses a framework for an integrated solid waste management plan, which includes elements for waste prevention, collection, and processing. The resolution, framework, and background material from the LOG are included in the agenda. Orange County citizen Roger Barr asked where the County is in this plan. He feels the plan does not include some of the items required by the State. He would like to know if the whole plan will be presented at a later date and if it will be written by the staff and not discussed publicly. He presented a list of the items as required by the State. Chair Crowther said that this plan is just a framework. There are many questions to be answered. The comprehensive plan will be done at a later time and there will be a time for public input. A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the resolution as stated below: ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A FRAMEWORK FOR A COUNTY-WIDE SOLID WASTE PLAN SPECIFYING PERCENTAGES IN PER CAPITA WASTE REDUCTION GOALS WHICH CONFORM TO THE STATE STANDARD, ESTABLISHING A TIMETABLE BY WHICH TO MEET THE GOALS, CHANGING THE PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED 50% WASTE REDUCTION GOAL TO CONFORM TO THIS STANDARD AND AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY MANAGER TO SUBMIT THE SOLID WASTE PLAN TO THE STATE WHEREAS, Orange County has previously adopted a general waste reduction goal as part of its overall solid waste goals and has also adopted a specific 50% per capita waste reduction goal for mixed solid waste; and WHEREAS, the Orange Regional Landfill Owners Group has adopted goals for solid waste reduction of 45% by 2001 and 61% by 2006 when compared to 1991-92; and WHEREAS, the State of North Carolina requires a solid waste management plan with specific solid waste reduction goals for 2001 and 2006; and WHEREAS, the Owners Group and its member governments, including Orange County, have conducted an integrated solid waste plan study to develop options for reducing and managing solid waste in Orange County and Chapel Hill ; and WHEREAS, the County has previously considered a solid waste management plan that includes waste prevention measures, collection programs and processing methods described in attachment A to this resolution; and WHEREAS, successful implementation of a solid waste plan that meets the waste reduction goals would also require cooperation and coordination with all the local governments and waste generators throughout Orange County; and
