I, Donna Baker, Clerk to the Board of Commissioners for the County of Orange, North <br /> Carolina, DO HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing is a true copy of so much of the <br /> proceedings of said Board at a meeting held on November 19, 2013, as relates in any way to <br /> the adoption of the foregoing and that said proceedings are recorded in the minutes of said <br /> Board. <br /> WITNESS my hand and the seal of said County, this day of 12013. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Price to <br /> approve attachment 5 with the following changes: Insert between the "Now, therefore be it <br /> further resolved" paragraph, and Item 1, the following paragraph—"Be it further resolved that <br /> the Orange County Board of Commissioners may re-prioritize the following list of transportation <br /> projects, as more information becomes available in the coming months." <br /> Commissioner Dorosin confirmed that the right to reprioritize is retained even without <br /> the language. He said he feels the added language is redundant but he said he would vote for <br /> it. <br /> In response to a question from Commissioner Gordon, Bret Martin clarified that it was <br /> not necessary to approve attachments 6 and 7, since they were just provided for the <br /> Commissioners' information. Only the resolutions need approval. <br /> Commissioner Rich thanked Commissioner Gordon for the clarifications to the <br /> resolution. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> b. Urban Curbside & Multi-family Recycling Discussion <br /> The Board received an update on progress between the Towns and County regarding <br /> urban curbside and multi-family recycling services and considered awarding the bid for roll <br /> carts, not to exceed $1,100,000. <br /> Michael Talbert said the Towns requested additional information from contractors on <br /> having their own solid waste, curbside recycling and transfer station. He noted the attachment <br /> outlining the details of the information received by Chapel Hill in their request for proposals <br /> (RFP). <br /> He said the County and Town managers met on November 1 st, with the idea that the <br /> County proposal would be very competitive with the RFP and with the intent to move forward. <br /> He noted the letter of intent drafted by the County as a premise for moving forward. He <br /> said the County is very interested in continuing the long term and successful partnership with <br /> the towns regarding recycling and waste reduction. <br /> Michael Talbert read the letter as follows: <br /> "Orange County is very interested in continuing our long and successful partnership with the <br /> Town with regard to recycling and waste reduction. Our state-leading programs are the model <br /> for success in reducing local government waste disposal and our longstanding local recycling <br /> partnership is a model of intergovernmental cooperation and effectiveness. <br /> The Town wishes to continue participation in the recycling program. The most timely and least <br /> complicated manner in which to proceed would be for the Town to authorize the County to <br />
