Attachment 3 8 An initial appraisal of the reimbursement based on a five-year payback yielded the following shares: Orange County - $214,224; Chapel Hill - $90,549; and Carrboro - $29,524. The Orange County share of $214, 224 was based on the Orange County deeded portion of the Greene Tract - 60 acres - in addition to the Orange County interest in the remainder. It is important to mention here, and will be amplified later, that the reimbursement amounts will need to be recalculated as nothing in the Inter Local Agreement or Amendment contemplates or provides for the 60 acres dedicated to landfill system purposes to be used for other than system purposes. Recent Developments At the February meeting County staff was also asked to draft a set of guiding principles and parameters for enacting the conservation easements. Conceptually these guiding principles and parameters could apply equally to the 85.9 jointly held acres and the 60 acres held solely the County. In working through this issue in anticipation of discussion at or before the Assembly of Governments meeting, County staff was advised and has received an opinion from the County Attorney to the BOCC of the need for the County and Towns to specifically address changing the designation of the 60 acre parcel since there is nothing in the Agreement or the Amendment that provides for reimbursement to the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund in the event the 60 acre parcel is not used for landfill system purposes. A copy of the memorandum from the County Attorne~Attached herein Further Direction Requested As outlined, a reimbursement scenario inclusive of the County held 60 acres has already been circulated. However, another potential amendment to the Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement would alter these funding shares. The County Attorney has advised that the Inter Local Agreement may be amended as required to reflect any changes in policy direction the three jurisdictions may wish to make. Attachments
