Among these is the requirement for several public <br /> hearings . The attorneys have recommended that all four governing <br /> boards conduct a joint public hearing on the potential siting of a <br /> landfill for sometime this Spring. <br /> At the joint solid waste forum held on April 18 at Chapel Hill Town <br /> Hall, several dates were suggested as possibilities for required public <br /> hearings, but no agreement on a specific date was reached. The Manager <br /> suggests that the Board of Commissioners consider Wednesday, June 19, <br /> 1996, as a possible date for a required public hearing. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: As the Board decides . <br />
