BACKGROUND: At their March 26, 1997 meeting, the Landfill Owners' Group (LOG) discussed a number of issues related to the integrated solid waste management plan being developed by the LOG staff in conjunction with the County and Towns. Information concerning previous feedback to the LOG from the various governing boards on the integrated plan was presented, including summaries of discussions held by the Orange County Commissioners on this subject in June 1996, December 1996, and January 1997. During the March 26 LOG meeting,there were at least two topics identified which Commissioners Crowther and Halkiotis indicated should be discussed by the full Board of Commissioners at an upcoming Commissioners meeting: • whether there should be universal collection(curbside or otherwise) for all sectors (e.g. commercial and multi-family residential, in addition to single family residential) • affirm whether the Board supports the construction of a materials recovery facility (MRF), as outlined in the integrated solid waste management system that was recommended by the LOG to the member governments The Board may also wish to discuss further its views expressed to date concerning the solid waste management plan(summarized in the April 4, 1997 memo from the County Public Works Director). RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss the issues outlined above, and provide any additional guidance to County and LOG staffs concerning development of the integrated solid waste management plan.
