Attachment B -1 3102106 SWAB Chair Memo Attachment B -2 3103106 SWAB Resolution Attachment B -3 Map — Proposed Transfer Station Layout C. Solid Waste Convenience Center Siting Issues The County received notice in August 2005 from the new owner of property on which the Highway 57 SWCC is located that the County's lease would not be renewed upon its expiration on April 1, 2006. Staff then began working to examine alternatives to that site that would allow the County to continue providing service to residents who use that site. The property owner and BOCC approved an agreement in February 2006 that provides for the Highway 57 site lease to extend automatically for two -month periods, subject to 60 days notice by either party to terminate the arrangement. While this lease extension provides some latitude, staff are vigorously pursuing both long -term and short-term options for continuing convenience center services after the Highway 57 site closes. Staff will report on efforts to date to examine potential property acquisitions that could lead to co- located County facilities, such as a park and convenience center. As was discussed at the joint work session with the Hillsborough Board of Commissioners on February 23, staff will also review with the Board options for a possible temporary convenience center site at the County's Public Works facility on Highway 86. No Attachments D. Greene Tract Disposition In June 2002, the Greene Tract Work Group adopted the attached resolution recommending to the County and Towns of Carrboro and Chapel Hill that approximately 86 acres of the Greene Tract be preserved as open space protected by conservation easements and that approximately 18 acres be earmarked for affordable housing purposes. This portion of the work session provides the Board with an opportunity to discuss and provide direction to staff on how to proceed with either or both components of the Greene Tract disposition.

Interim Report from SWAB Work Group on Solid Waste Management Plan Update The next three -year update of the County's 10 -year solid waste management plan is due to the State of North Carolina in Summer 2006. County staff have been working with the SWAB and elected officials from each Orange County local government to examine the County's current goals and solid waste plan, and to develop proposed recommendations for consideration by the various governing boards related to the goals and the best array of programs and services for achieving those goals. The accompanying report, prepared by the Solid Waste Management Director and staff, and reviewed by the SWAB Chair, provides an update for all four governing boards regarding progress to date.
