does not matter what it is called, but that the County needs to be reimbursed. She asked that the staff write up the explanation of the reimbursement. Bob Jessup said that he plans to send out a memo to the working group tomorrow morning to let everyone know what happened tonight at this meeting and at the Carrboro Board of Aldermen's meeting. Chair Gordon said that she feels that the transfer needs to be six months from the date the proposed interlocal agreement is signed. She feels a deadline should be set for reaching an agreement, which could be September 1, 1999. John Link said that it needs to be pointed out to the elected boards that when they look at all the details now as opposed to looking at them over the next two years, then the transfer will not take place by January 1St. He asked the County Commissioners if they want to pursue an aggressive discussion of these points now or revert back to a more general agreement so an agreement could be reached by September 1St Commissioner Brown said that she feels an agreement could be reached by June 30tH Flag items that need further discussion, clarification, or modification. Commissioner Brown said that she supports changing the name of the Landfill Advisory Commission to Landfill Advisory Board. She asked about page 17, item e, which states, "to further such mission and goals for the system as the County may adopt from time to time." She asked what this statement meant by "mission." Bob Jessup clarified that this meant that the Landfill Advisory Board would do what the County Commissioners thought the system was supposed to be doing. He said this item could be removed if it is confusing. Commissioner Brown asked if it has been determined that this advisory board would review and approve all changes to the rates, fees, and charges. Bob Jessup said that these changes would not require approval of the governing boards. If the advisory board does not agree, then the proposal goes to the governing boards. Chair Gordon said that the advisory board does not track with the resolution on boards and commissions such as term limits, bylaws, a charge, etc. she feels this Board should follow the County's policies. Bob Jessup said that he would report that the County Commissioners have some substantial questions about the organization and responsibilities of the Advisory Board. Commissioner Carey said that the language in #2 on page five is consistent with what the Board discussed. He feels these questions should be flagged and they should not try to sort them out or state positions. Commissioner Halkiotis said that it appears that the other four Commissioners are beginning to unravel all that has been done on this proposed interlocal agreement. John Link said that this is about addressing the solid waste plan including recycling, reduction, etc. If the jurisdictions are not going to support the level of fees and taxes that are necessary to go forward with solid waste management, then nothing happens. Commissioner Carey said that if there is not a commitment of funds, the implementation of the plan cannot move ahead. The following items were flagged: Landfill Advisory Commission (p. 8) Limitations of Material Financial Changes (p. 4) #2 on page 5 - dealing with fees Governmental Fees definition (p. 5)
