1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: June 2, 1997 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. <br /> SUBJECT: Renewal of Interlocal Agreement on Household Hazardous Waste Disposal <br /> DEPARTMENT: Public Works PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) <br /> BUDGET AMENDMENT: (Y/1S) <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Amendment to Interlocal Agreement Wilbert McAdoo, ext 2625 <br /> Original 1994 Agreement <br /> TJCOG Household Hazardous Waste Program <br /> Annual Report TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> Mebane 227-2031 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider renewing an interlocal agreement for the disposal of household <br /> hazardous waste. <br /> BACKGROUND: In August 1994, Orange County entered into two interlocal agreements related <br /> to the disposal of household hazardous waste(HHW). The other parties to the first of these <br /> agreements were Chatham, Durham, and Wake Counties,the City of Durham, and the Towns of <br /> Carrboro and Chapel Hill. The purpose of this agreement was to provide for a cost-effective <br /> arrangement whereunder citizens of any of these jurisdictions could safely and conveniently dispose <br /> of HHW at permanent HHW disposal facilities in any of the participating jurisdictions. This <br /> agreement is set to expire on June 30, 1997 and is proposed here for renewal with one amendment. <br /> The program underlying the first agreement is administered by the Triangle J Council of <br /> Governments under a second agreement that involves all the parties to the first agreement. The <br /> program agreement with TJCOG is self-renewing annually. Under that second agreement,the <br /> Landfill Owners' Group in 1996-97 has paid its share, $9,324, of the HHW program cost out of the <br /> Landfill Fund administered by the Town of Chapel Hill on behalf of the LOG member <br /> governments. The cost for 1997-98 is to remain at the same level. <br /> The attached amendment to the first interlocal agreement would extend the term of that agreement <br /> between the Counties and municipalities through June 30, 1998. The amendment would also <br /> provide that in future years,that agreement would be self-renewing unless a member government <br /> signals the intent to withdraw from the agreement by January 31 prior to the start of a new fiscal <br /> year. The provision for automatic renewal in future years is the only change from the current <br /> interlocal agreement. <br />
