14 Report of Landfill Owners Group/Landfill Neighbors Worldng Group The Landfill Owners Group will investigate with the Orange County Attorney the possibility of enacting legislation which would provide for civil penalties for illegal dumping, to make it easier to penalize people who litter. In addition, the LOG will publicize the names of those convicted of illegal dumping. The Working Group recommends that additional "No Littering" signs be erected in the neighborhoods near the landfill. 8. The Landfill Owners Group will budget for the installation of perimeter fencing around the Orange Regional Landfill no later than the 1998 -1999 budget year. Prior to completion of the fence, the Director of the Orange County APS shall be notified to ensure that no large animals are trapped inside the fence. 9. The Working Group recommends that Orange County erect "Children Playing" and "School Buts Stop" signs on Rogers Road. Residents of the Rogers Road neighborhood will identify appropriate locations for these signs. 10. The Working Group recommends that Chapel Hill Transit re -route the North-South connector bus line to serve Rogers Road on. either its northbound or southbound trip, starting with the 1998 -99 service year. For the duration of the 1997 -1998 service year, the Rogers Road area should be designated as a Shared Ride Feeder Zone if this can be accomplished within adopted budgets and available resources. 11. The Landfill Owners Group will work with the Orange County, Chapel Hill and Carrboro planning departments to sponsor a public information meeting regarding the planning •boundary (future annexation boundary) between Chapel Hill and Carrboro. A "ballot" should be prepared identifying at least three options: 1. Leave the planning boundary as it is, along Rogers Road, 2. Move the planning boundary east, placing the entire Rogers Road neighborhood in Carrboro's future annexation area. 3. Move the planning boundary west, placing the entire Rogers Road neighborhod in Chapel Hill's future annexation area (See the attached map showing the possible changes to the planning boundary.) Additional options may be identified and added to the ballot. -All households in the area which may potentially be shii%d shall be given the opportunity to submit one ballot selecting their preferred option. The Working Group recommends that after the ballots have been tallied, the local governments take the necessary action to adopt the option favored by a majority of local residents within one year. If no single option is favored by a clear majority, the Working Group recommends that no action be taken.
