3 <br /> Greene Tract <br /> During discussions of the then current draft of the interlocal agreement in June 1997, the Board of <br /> Commissioners made clear their view that the Greene Tract is an important asset of the solid waste <br /> system, and that its disposition should be addressed within the interlocal agreement (which in that version, <br /> indicated that the Greene Tract would remain an asset jointly owned by the County and the Towns of <br /> Carrboro and Chapel Hill). Based on discussion by the elected officials work group, the next draft of the <br /> agreement will include a section that imposes a deadline of January 1, 2003, for the three owning <br /> jurisdictions to reach agreement on the disposition of the Greene Tract. If no agreement has been reached, <br /> the property would be sold. There was discussion that some or all of the proceeds from the sale of all or <br /> part of this property (to the extent permitted by law) should be used to help finance the community <br /> benefits for Eubanks Road landfill neighborhoods. Chairman Crowther has drafted the attached resolution <br /> on a possible disposition of the Greene Tract, which the Board may want to discuss as part of this agenda <br /> item. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) review and discuss the solid <br /> waste matters described above, and provide appropriate direction to the Manager and Attorney; 2) approve <br /> an Assembly of Governments meeting for Tuesday, October 28, 1997 at 6:30pm for decisions to be made <br /> on community benefits; 3) approve a joint public hearing on socioeconomic and demographic data for <br /> areas around candidate landfill site(s)for Thursday,November 20, 1997, at 7:00pm at Stanback Middle <br /> School; and 4) approve a public meeting on a landfill siting decision as required by the North Carolina <br /> Administrative Code. <br />
