The first agreement is for a <br /> regional household hazardous waste program that involves Orange, <br /> Chatham, Wake, and Durham Counties, the City of Durham, and the Towns <br /> of Carrboro and Chapel Hill. The second agreement is between these <br /> seven local government jurisdictions and the Triangle J Council of <br /> Governments, which will administer the regional HHW program. <br /> Each of the seven jurisdictions is a prospective party to a third <br /> agreement, presented under separate cover from this abstract, with <br /> Laidlaw Environmental Services. Representatives of the participating <br /> jurisdictions selected Laidlaw in FY 1993-94 pursuant to a Request for <br /> Proposals process for a single contractor for HHW collection and <br /> disposal. Funding for Orange County' s share of the HHW program is <br /> included in the 1994-95 Landfill operating budget administered by <br /> the Town of Chapel Hill. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the <br /> agreement with Laidlaw and authorize the Chair to sign. <br />
