ATTACHMENT 2 <br /> April 10, 2002 <br /> Mr. Gayle Wilson <br /> Orange County Solid Waste Management Director <br /> P. O Box 17177 <br /> Chapel Hill,NC 27516-7177 <br /> Dear Gayle: <br /> At the Town Council's budget work session on April 3, the Council posed several <br /> questions about the possible impact on Orange County's solid waste operations of a <br /> possible change to the Town's program of collecting commercial waste. I am writing to <br /> pose those questions to you and to ask for a response for the Council's consideration. <br /> The questions are as follows: <br /> 1. What would be the impact on the County's solid waste program if the revenue <br /> associated with commercial collections were no longer available? We estimate <br /> the amount to be about $600,000. <br /> 2. What would be the County's position with respect to current services if the <br /> revenue were lost due to the Town no longer providing commercial collections? <br /> 3. How much of current fee revenue is dedicated to recycling? <br /> 4. If the Town were to eliminate commercial collections, would the County consider <br /> charging the Town a fee specifically for recycling services? How much would <br /> such a fee be? <br /> We are trying to complete a report to the Council for their April 24 work session. I hope <br /> you can provide us with this information in time to include it in that report. It would be <br /> most helpful to us to have it by Wednesday, April 17, if possible. <br /> Thank you for your help with this. Please let me know if you need additional <br /> information. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Bruce A. Heflin <br /> Public Works Director <br /> Cc: Cal Horton <br /> Sonna Loewenthal <br /> Hary Howard <br /> Randy Ballard <br />
