Greene Tract Status <br />Rod Visser said that the two main issues are related to reimbursement of the Solid <br />Waste Enterprise Fund for the Greene Tract and conservation easements in the Greene Tract <br />property. He said that as part of the 1999 interlocal agreement between the governing bodies <br />related to solid waste management in Orange County, the 164-acre parcel of the Greene Tract <br />adjacent to the existing landfill was the subject of discussion. Sixty acres of the parcel was titled <br />over to Orange County as part of the agreement upon which Orange County began to conduct <br />solid waste management oversight starting in 2000. The remaining 104 acres of the property <br />remain in joint holding between the County and the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. The <br />percentage holdings based on the initial investment and the acquisition price of the Greene <br />Tract in 1984 are 43°~ for Orange County, 43°~ for the Town of Chapel Hill, and 14°~ for the <br />Town of Carrboro. After the interlocal agreement was signed, it was determined that there <br />needed to be a disposition as to what would happen to the remaining 104 acres that were jointly <br />
