2 <br /> PROBLEMS WITH LOG <br /> • Many decisions by default or veto if any one government fails to act on LOG recommendation. <br /> • LOG is advisory to staff and constituent boards - no decision making authority. Control lies with Chapel <br /> Hill Town Council <br /> • Question: Why would the operation by another government unit or an independent appointed "authority" be <br /> more acceptable? <br /> • Current decision making process is cumbersome, lengthy and inefficient for timely decisions, often <br /> requiring multiple visits to each constituent board before approval is obtained. Does not provide for joint <br /> dialogue among decision makers. <br /> • Even if consensus is obtained on LOG, no assurance that recommendations will hold when voted on by full <br /> boards. <br /> • Question: Is the LOG representative of non-LOG elected officials? <br /> NEED <br /> Implementation of an ISWMP and the purchase of property for a landfill, transfer station, or contact for <br /> alternative disposal will require designation of an entity for decision-making, legal considerations, financing <br /> and ownership. <br /> HOW WE GOT HERE <br /> Three governments purchased 200 acres on Eubanks Road in 1970's. Chapel Hill designated to operate the <br /> landfill within their management and budget structure. Sale of property and tip fee changes require approval <br /> of all three boards. <br /> 2 <br />
