The STAR Community Rating System appears to be promising model initially as its framework of indicators and <br />actions can be accessed and tested for free, and it is a model chosen by several neighboring local governments. <br />After consulting with the Durham Sustainability Manager about the nationwide indicators used by STAR, County <br />staff learned that those indicators vary in clarity and applicability on the local level. Additional analysis will be <br />done to determine the value of this sustainability rating system for Orange County. <br />SUMMARY <br />The Environmental Responsibility Goal and its associated objectives continue to direct the work of County staff <br />towards ever more sustainable operations and support programs for County residents. This work has been made <br />possible through the leadership of the Board of Orange County Commissioners as well as the collaboration, hard <br />work, and open minds of many County staff. <br />Thank you, <br />Brennan Bouma, AMS, 919 - 245 -2626 <br />Craig Benedict, Planning, 919 - 245 -2592 <br />Jim Northrup, IT, 919 - 245 -2276 <br />Blair Pollock, Solid Waste, 919 - 968 -2788 x206 <br />David Stancil, DEAPR, 919 - 245 -2522 <br />Jeff Thompson, AMS, 919 - 245 -2658 <br />Gayle Wilson, Solid Waste, 919 - 968 -2885 x106 <br />
