1 <br /> O R A N G E CO U N T Y <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: June 26, 1995 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item # -Ty- <br /> SUBJECT: INTERIM EXPANSION OF LANDFILL OWNERS GROUP <br /> DEPARTMENT: COUNTY MANAGER PUBLIC HEARING: Yes —X—No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> MANAGER'S OFFICE, EXTENSION 2300 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Chapel Hill - 967-9251/968-4501 <br /> PURPOSE: To approve, contingent on the agreement of the <br /> governing bodies of Carrboro and Chapel Hill, the <br /> interim expansion of the Landfill Owners Group. <br /> BACKGROUND: The governing bodies established this spring the <br /> Landfill Reorganization Working Group to consider and <br /> develop recommendations on the best structure for <br /> intergovernmental cooperation in the ownership and <br /> financing of the next landfill. This group includes <br /> two or three representatives of the Towns of Chapel <br /> Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough and the County of <br /> Orange. <br /> The LOG has grown increasingly concerned about its <br /> size vis a vis the number and significance of the <br /> issues it considers. In many cases, this small group <br /> must make a series of policy assumptions before <br /> arriving at its final recommendation to the full <br /> governing bodies. The LOG on June 15, confirmed a <br /> preference for a larger proportion of the governing <br /> bodies to be involved in addressing complex issues. <br /> Examples of such complex issues include: <br /> - Development and implementation of an integrated <br /> solid waste management plan <br />
