Immediate Priority Key Issue Section of current DRAFT ILA Additional Comments Recycling Programs and Section IV; Section VI article E While a very specific and well- defined list of current services is now shown as Services including existing (performance measures). Section IV, whether a specific process governing program expansion, programs /services parameters improvement, modification, etc. is necessary or appropriate to be incorporated into the ILA is uncertain. It is clear that programs will change or evolve over time and perhaps changes could be evaluated and discussed by the permanent advisory function contemplated for the ILA and not otherwise delineated in the ILA at this time. Equitable Funding Mechanisms Section V The current Section V discusses financial issues and fees in detail relative to urban for establishing fees and making & multifamily fees that are assessed solely within the Towns, but does not cover future joint decisions including other recycling or other county waste program /facility funding elements. This degree of County discretion in section is predicated on continued use of fees to fund municipal programs and will fee (or Tax) setting have to be revised depending on yet to be made funding decisions. Creating permanent advisory Section VI article G . The SWAG is this body for now. Once the SWAG addresses the immediate body including citizens priorities of developing and authorizing an ILA and creating a recycling financing mechanism, there is already consensus on creating a broader, ongoing advisory function that would include residents. While staff feels creation of an advisory body is essential, it is not likely to be accomplished in the next four meetings of the SWAG. Development of a Waste Section III Article B and Section VI Staff believes development of a local waste transfer facility is important, but does Transfer Station within Orange Article F. not think that details such as the ownership, operations, location and users of the County facility must be defined in the ILA at this time. Defining Debt in re: withdrawal Section I article B and Section V There has been discussion of the need to better define the debt obligations should from ILA article D a member wish to withdraw from the agreement at some point in the future. Emergency Storm Debris Section VI article B The text in Section VI article B seems to adequately cover this element. Management /Planning Supporting Public Education on Section VI, article D A communication plan shall be reviewed by the advisory group or board. Solid Waste & Recycling Issues C &D Waste Section IIA Existing language in Section ILA seems adequate.
