County Manaqer's Report <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Chair Jacobs had asked Frank Clifton to reaffirm with towns on a solid waste inter-local agreement. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Frank Clifton said right now the towns are waiting for an analysis of their current services studies. <br /> 35 He said that both are taking waste to a private transfer station in Durham County. He said the Town of <br /> 36 Chapel Hill is still analyzing pursuit of its own transfer station and the possible inclusion of Carrboro in this. <br /> 37 He said Hillsborough is still just as close to Durham. He said the towns are still interested in a construction <br /> 38 and debris landfill, and there is continued discussion of Chapel Hill having its own recycling program. He <br /> 39 said that all of this means there is no ongoing effort for a solid waste agreement until the towns have sorted <br /> 40 through these considerations. <br /> 41 Commissioner Rich asked if this means the County is not considering an inter-local agreement. <br /> 42 Frank Clifton said there have been some preliminary staff discussions. He said the primary issue <br /> 43 is what an agreement would entail and recycling is the main topic. He said much of this depends on what <br /> 44 direction the County decides to take. <br /> 45 Commissioner Rich encouraged everyone to keep those conversations going and keep a positive <br /> 46 tone to encourage a partnership. <br /> 47 Frank Clifton said one thing that has been discussed is the legal authority to operate within the <br /> 48 Chapel Hill section of Durham County. He said this requires Chapel Hill to include a provision in its budget <br /> 49 ordinance to allow the County to levy a fee and collect for the services within the town's authority. He noted <br /> 50 that while the County can come up with a comprehensive countywide cost, each individual town has a <br /> 51 different cost to consider. <br /> 52 <br /> 53 10.
