2 <br />On December 12, 2006, the Board directed staff to conduct a landfill neighborhood meeting to <br />present issues related to the possible development of a transfer station on existing landfill <br />property and to solicit input and answer questions from residents of the surrounding community. <br />This meeting was held on January 18 at the Faith Tabernacle Oasis of Love International on <br />Rogers Road. <br />At the Board meeting on January 23, 2007, staff was directed to further evaluate the list of <br />community concerns and to include a response, including creative solutions that might be <br />considered. Staff was also directed to finalize the alternate transfer station site analysis. The <br />requested reports are included as Attachment A - Community Information Meeting and 13- <br />Transfer Station Site Evaluation Summary. For ease of reference and review, the evaluation <br />summary for the Eubanks Road site is also depicted. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Attachment B provides an overview of projected development costs for <br />an Orange County Transfer Station located at Highway 70E versus a facility located on <br />Eubanks Road. Under the Inter-local Agreement, the Orange County Solid Waste Fund is <br />responsible for financing the operation, maintenance, and development of necessary and <br />associated landfilling facilities. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board consider the information <br />provided in the attached reports and that staff solicit input on the two potential sites from the <br />County's partners in the lnterlocal Agreement for Solid Waste Management, which would then <br />be reported to the Board at a future meeting.
