Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> May 13 , 2004 <br /> Approved September 9, 2004 <br /> Pollock states that both of them hit at the same time . The other thing is that it is <br /> required in the Plan that there be a financial discussion of how you are going to <br /> finance services . One of the finishing touches on the plan would be including the <br /> financial analyses and the fee scenarios . So they ' re not completely off base fusing the <br /> two issues . Strategically maybe you [Chapel Hill reps] could sit down with them [the <br /> Chapel Hill elected officials] and say that the plan can be revisited . <br /> Wilson states that they have been clear on that . It has been stated in writing and in <br /> person . <br /> Sassaman states that it was recommended that they recommend the Plan as it is <br /> recognizing that it was less than perfect and immediately start working on the next <br /> Plan . <br /> Norwood states that in speaking to the neighbors about the fee I've had to remind <br /> them that this is the result of when we fought against another landfill . Unless you <br /> know of someone that wants a landfill in their backyard, we have to pay for these <br /> programs . <br /> Wilson states that we will just have to wait and see how it plays out . <br /> Kabrick states that there are two issues . The Town needs to separate the fee and the <br /> Plan . Let ' s get the plan off the deck and revisit that . The fee seems to be taking a life <br /> of it' s own . If the Commissioners vote for the fee as proposed and the SWAB has <br /> voted the fee as proposed, the Town Council has to go away . Do they understand <br /> that ? <br /> Vickers states that Town Council will have the opportunity to complain about the fee <br /> as being unreasonable and unjust and try to focus all the activity on the County <br /> imposed fee and not the Towri s stormwater fee . <br /> Wilson states that the press seems to understand what is going on and has been <br /> supportive with their editorials . <br /> Kabrick states that he will be having lunch with Bill Strom [Chapel Hill Councilman] <br /> and asks if it would help to mention this to him . <br /> Pollock states that Strom is the primary proponent of the Town getting rid of <br /> commercial waste collection . The [Chapel Hill] Town attorney ' s interpretation of the <br /> interlocal agreement leans toward that once it is no longer in a Town truck it' s no <br /> longer the Towri s garbage and it can go anywhere . <br /> 3 <br />
