Commissioner Gordon said the Skills Development Center is located advantageously for the census track that has the lowest income. She didn't know what it meant to consider it for Southern Campus planning. Wayne Fenton said the reference to Southern Campus was just related to whether or not there may be any need to expand to this site in the future. Michael Talbert said staff is planning for the next 25 years for the southern campus and this is just one opportunity being explored. Chair Jacobs said the Board appropriated $25,000 to look at the possibility of opening a health center for County staff. He said presumably the space needs study could consider the best site for that as well. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Rich to approve the establishment of a Work Group and charge to provide recommendations regarding on-going facilities planning and space utilization, and directed staff to give an interim report by September/October 2014 and a draft plan by March 2015. VOTE: UNANIMOUS A motion was made by Commissioner Rich to nominate Commissioner McKee to serve on this work group and Commissioner Price volunteered. VOTE: UNANIMOUS i. Interlocal Aqreement for Solid Waste Manaqement The Board considered referring a draft preliminary Interlocal Agreement for Solid Waste and Recycling to the recently created Solid Waste Advisory Group (SWAG) with outstanding issues/provisions to be resolved, with the Agreement subsequently being resubmitted to the Towns and County for finalization and adoption. Michael Talbert reviewed the following background information from the abstract: At its May 13, 2014 work session, the BOCC discussed adopting a preliminary Agreement that would be amended in the future once remaining outstanding issues or areas of potential disagreement are resolved. The BOCC also discussed that a multi-jurisdictional advisory group be established to address those outstanding issues and make recommendations to the parties of the Agreement so that the Agreement can be amended and finalized. At its June 3 meeting the BOCC formally established the SWAG and indicated that the draft preliminary Interlocal Agreement (attached) will represent the base document from which their discussions, revisions and recommendations would be made. A preliminary report from the SWAG may be presented at the November 20, 2014 Assembly of Governments meeting. The issues recommended to be addressed by the SWAG with regard to the preliminary Agreement include, but are not limited to: * an interlocal agreement on solid waste; * reducing solid waste that is not recycled; * recycling opportunities and services; * siting a transfer station or landfill within the county; * supporting public education on solid waste issues; * construction and demolition waste;
