SportsPlex and Orange County Schools summer day camps programs. The Orange County Parks and Recreation Summer Camp cost was $80; cost for the summer 4-H (Summer Sizzle) is $100; SportsPlex Summer Camp costs $185 and the Orange County Schools camp program costs $100. The recommended funds would be provided on a first come basis to those individuals meeting DSS guidelines. The Planning Department has reviewed, at the request of the BOCC, any summer camps that are in violation of County zoning ordinances. At this time, only Spence's' Farm has been identified and that issue is currently scheduled for discussion with the Board of Adjustment at its April 14, 2008 meeting. It is important to note that this proposal addresses the summer day camp scholarship/ campership questions for the current fiscal year. Funding solutions beyond the current fiscal year will need to be addressed in the upcoming 2008-09-budget process. Commissioner Carey said that this is a substantive way to accomplish the same objective of providing summer day camp, and if the staff can assure him that there are enough funds for childcare subsidies, then he could support this. He said that in the years to come this will have to be addressed. Social Services Director Nancy Coston said that there is not a waiting list for childcare and there are sufficient funds for this fiscal year. This plan would involve taking available funds through June 30th, and her expectation would be to budget in the $50,000 for next year. Commissioner Gordon said that this would be taken up by the RPAC on April 22nd and Laura Blackmon said that staff would bring this back on May 1st• Commissioner Carey asked about deadlines for these camps and Commissioner Foushee said that it looks as if there is enough time if the Board of County Commissioners takes action at its May 1st meeting. The Board agreed for the staff to proceed. d. • Draft Interim Solid Waste Plan The Board considered accepting, as information only, the Draft Interim Solid Waste Plan as reviewed by Solid Waste Advisory Board (SWAB) at its April 3, 2008 meeting; authorizing the Solid Waste Management Department with SWAB to establish the May 1, 2008 SWAB meeting as a public meeting for input to the Plan; and further, authorizing staff to set meetings with all three towns to present the draft plan that includes the public input from May 1st. Blair Pollock said that they are coming to the end of the initial phase of putting this plan together. Every three years, the State requires an update of the 10-Year Solid Waste Management Plan. In the fall, the staff requested a three-month period to prepare a draft interim plan, and tonight this is an information piece only. This plan will bring the County into compliance and will allow for State grants. Chair Jacobs requested that since the SWAB is holding a public hearing the same night of the Board of County Commissioners' meeting, he would like to have complete minutes from the SWAB meeting when this comes back to the Board of County Commissioners. Blair Pollock said that they would provide all of the minutes. Chair Jacobs made reference to the requirement of having a plan that is in compliance with the State requirements. He asked if the State awards grant money based on having a compliant plan, or if there was incentive for counties to be in compliance. Blair Pollock said that the County is able to apply for and receive grant monies by being compliant. Chair Jacobs made reference to page 6 and the last sentence, "Orange County estimates that is over 75% of the weight received at its C&D landfill that must now be diverted to MSW." He asked if that is the State law that is requiring this or if this is a rule and regulation. Blair Pollock said that he thinks that it is a stipulation and interpretation of the law.
