VOTE: UNANIMOUS. G. ITEMS FOR DECISION-REGULAR AGENDA 1. ORANGE REGIONAL LANDFILL TIPPING FEES Bruce Heflin, Director of Public Works for Chapel Hill, gave background information and summarized the reasons for the recommendation to increase tipping fees at the Orange County Landfill. Because of the additional requirements from the State, the operation costs for the landfill have increased. With the additional revenues they will purchase new equipment which will be needed to meet the state requirements as well as dig new wells for monitoring. The first installment of the landfill liner will be paid in 1988. Three payments of $100,000 each will be paid over the next three years. The recycling program will be expanded. Commissioner Halkiotis asked if there was a law against trash being hauled in open trucks and Bruce Heflin responded that all trucks are supposed to be covered so that debris does not blow out. Commissioner Hartwell suggested making the tipping fee lower for cars and pick-up trucks stating that these are the people who make the decision to go to the landfill or dump the trash elsewhere. Heflin indicated that some pickup trucks come to the landfill scraping the pavement because of being overloaded. They would like to discourage this by keeping the pick-up truck rate close to the per ton rate. Heflin indicated he would study the request from Commissioner Hartwell and try to get a breakdown on how much material is coming in from pick- up trucks and cars and report that information back to the Board. Further discussion ensued on the future of the landfill
