Assurance of the Town's continued <br /> participation could be included in a new Interlocal Agreement to allow this investment in carts to <br /> proceed. In the event that finalizing a new Interlocal Agreement is likely to take several months, <br /> it may be possible for the Town Council to adopt a resolution of intent to allow the County to <br /> proceed toward roll cart implementation more quickly. Once the BOCC is ready to proceed, the <br /> roll carts will be acquired concomitant with a Request for Proposals for the collection service <br /> contract. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no financial impacts related to the presentation of solid waste <br /> updates or general discussion of solid waste services, facilities or programs. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The County Manager recommends that the Boards receive the <br /> updates and discuss issues, options, needs and processes relative to addressing current and <br /> future solid waste management matters in Orange County. <br />
