He feels this is a political issue <br /> 5 and the chair and vice chair need to talk with elected officials instead of the managers. He <br /> 6 suggested this as a friendly amendment. <br /> 7 Chair Jacobs said he is fine with this and he has a breakfast meeting with the mayors <br /> 8 next week to discuss this issue. <br /> 9 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner McKee as <br /> 10 follows: <br /> 11 • Board of County Commissioners wishes to maintain the current recycling program. <br /> 12 • Direct Manager to meet with the Managers of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and <br /> 13 Hillsborough to determine their willingness to participate, to ascertain their needs <br /> 14 and concerns, and report back to the Board of Commissioners by the end of the <br /> 15 2012-13 fiscal year so the county may proceed with implementation; <br /> 16 • Direct Chair to meet with the three Mayors for a similar, parallel conversation. <br /> 17 • Adopt an interim funding plan for 2013-14, at end of this fiscal year. <br /> 18 • Commit to further investigate both a solid waste tax service district and a solid <br /> 19 waste authority. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Commissioner Gordon asked about estimated costs and said this moves the Board <br /> 23 forward tonight but doesn't make a definitive statement. <br /> 24 Chair Jacobs said the first step will be to get reports back and then flesh out costs. <br /> 25 Commissioner Gordon asked if the next comprehensive motion would come at end of <br /> 26 June. <br /> 27 Chair Jacobs said there can be a more thorough motion to direct the managers' work <br /> 28 and articulate goals without all the specifics. <br /> 29 Commissioner Rich called the question. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 32 <br /> 33 7.
