23 <br /> 1 <br /> 2 7. 1 also believe that leadership must have the courage to make key strategic choices <br /> 3 and then figure out the tactics to implement those strategic choices. I believe that given <br /> 4 that there are only four basic choices to pick from for'the final "resting place", not a lot of <br /> 5 study is required to pick the strategy. Pick a strategy that is "right" for each "region" and <br /> 6 then figure out the implementation plan considering the environment, technology status <br /> 7 and costs consistent with adding value to our respective "regions". This is where some <br /> 8 study is required. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 In conclusion, a waste transfer station should not be considered as a viable concept in any <br /> 11 location until a rational strategic choice is made for the ultimate processing of our non- <br /> 12 recyclable solid waste. There are effective strategies that would eliminate the need for any <br /> 13 consideration of a waste transfer station. <br /> 14 Thank you for considering my input into the discussion. If you have any questions about my <br /> 15 thoughts, I would be happy to respond to them. <br /> 16 1 would request that my letter be included in the minutes of your respective meetings on this <br /> 17 subject. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Ned McClurg <br /> 20 105 Woodkirk Lane <br /> 21 Chapel Hill, NC 27514 <br /> 22 nedsmc(a)-gmail.com <br /> 23 <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Chair Pelissier asked for direction on the interlocal agreement. <br /> 26 Commissioner Yuhasz said that there is a group of elected officials that have looked at <br /> 27 the interlocal agreement. He said that until they find out what Chapel Hill is going to do there is <br /> 28 really not a lot to discuss with regard to a new interlocal agreement. He suggested holding this <br /> 29 in abeyance until the Town of Chapel Hill has done something. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 A motion was made by Commissioner McKee to have staff move forward with an <br /> 32 agreement with the City of Durham. <br /> 33 Commissioner Jacobs asked about Chapel Hill's timeframe. He thinks that the County <br /> 34 needs to put forth the question to the municipalities as to whether they are partners or not. <br /> 35 Frank Clifton said that he was told that Chapel Hill will not have a decision about solid <br /> 36 waste issues for about six months because they need to hire a consultant. He suggested <br /> 37 securing the County's future and then the towns could decide if they want to be partners. <br /> 38 Commissioner McKee clarified that his motion was to negotiate with the City of Durham <br /> 39 on behalf of Orange County for waste generated by Orange County. <br />
