next elementary school, which looks to be 2008-09, and that this should be footnoted an the forms until then. Craig Benedict said that the looming issue related to this is school impact fees. He asked at what point the Board of County Commissioners would be interested in reexamining impact fees. There are over 1,400 units coming online in Mebane. The impact fee schedule is from 2001 and it is using construction standards from the 1990's. He said that this could be added as one of the potential expenses for the budget because a consultant might be needed or the attorney could address it. Chair Jacobs said that the Economic Development Commission funded a Cast of Community Service Study, which revealed just what they thought it would reveal -whether residential growth pays for itself or whether it keeps the County in a deficit. Geof Gledhill said that the impact fee ordinance itself requires an annual technical update. Commissioner Halkiotis asked about the estimated costs for an update and Donna Dean said that the last one was $56,000. 21) Revision of school construction standards: Chair Jacobs said that the school collaboration group agreed to take this on and is meeting on February 13tH 24-25) Solid waste contract with Alamance County for use of their landfill and pursue municipal solid waste talks with Alamance County: There is a meeting with the Chair and Vice-Chair of Alamance County for lunch on January 31St 26) Retain ar adequately replace NC 57 Solid Waste Convenience Center: Chair Jacobs said that he talked with the Mayor and one of the Town Commissioners last night, and the sooner they can develop a map that shows where all of the houses are in relation to the Public Works property and the possible sites, the better. Purchasing and Central Services Director Pam Jones said that Roy Wilkerson visited her office yesterday and said that he is willing to extend the lease for $500 a month with a 60-day notice clause -both the County to him and him to the County. This will be on the agenda sometime in February. Chair Jacobs said that the issue is, they have now stirred up a hornet's nest in Fairview and they still need the map. Commissioner Halkiotis said that he had asked staff if they knew where consumers who use this center were coming from -north or south. He asked that this information also include how many Hillsborough residents also use this site. This would be important to know in talking with Hillsborough. 27} Resolve issues regarding land clearing debris landfills: Commissioner Halkiotis said that they are continuing to work with this, because it is an issue. He wants to work with a proactive approach, in the event there should be another Hurricane Fran. There has to be an area that the County can utilize to deal with debris. A small group met last week and told the Manager and Assistant Manager to look at other ways of approaching this. For example, a farmer with same extra land could be paid so much a year as a retainer to reserve 30 acres of space if it is needed for debris. Chair Jacobs said that the other part is land-clearing debris from subdivisions. Staff is looking far a site to put a park and have this all-organic decomposition facility. Commissioner Gordon asked how big this site would be and Dave Stancil said about 120 acres.
