Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> May 13 , 2004 <br /> Approved September 9, 2004 <br /> Tipton suggests that the SWAB members go back to Chapel Hill , Carrboro, and <br /> Hillsborough and ask what their concerns are to try and get some measurable goal <br /> through holding a planning session or information session with some visual <br /> interpretation of the plan . <br /> Vickers states that the first priority should be to start addressing the next version of <br /> the solid waste plan . <br /> Kabrick states that Tipton s outreach idea is good . We 've first got to get our <br /> constituency up to speed and engaged . We may not be able to do all four jurisdictions <br /> at once so we should look at each individually and need a plan of action to implement <br /> BJ ' s recommendation . <br /> Wilson states that in order to develop your action plan, you will need to wait a few <br /> weeks to see what direction things take after the County and Town talk . There also <br /> may be some things that come up related to the fee that weren ' t thought of before . <br /> Sassaman states that we need to put this into a plan of action so that we understand <br /> what we need to be doing as a group . <br /> Wilson states that the priority should be assisting to the extent possible, leading if <br /> possible, the dialog and debate and discussion and understanding related to the <br /> revision of the solid waste management plan consistent with the goal that everyone <br /> agrees to . [This involves] revisiting the plan and restructuring it so that there is a <br /> meaningful opportunity to accomplish the goal . <br /> Sassaman asks Tipton to put what she was explaining into words . <br /> Kabrick states that his understanding of Tipton s suggestion was to work to educate <br /> our constituency using a twenty minute road map of the plan [from a 75 page <br /> professional technical report] that gets people to the same level we are . <br /> Sassaman clarifies the goals . <br /> • Revisit and restructure the plan as needed to achieve a meaningful road map to <br /> achieve our goal . <br /> • Develop a plan to educate our constituency with our vision of the plan and road <br /> map . <br /> • Offer input as needed on the fees to alternative financing <br /> Wilson states that there may be other things throughout the year that may need you <br /> assistance also . <br /> 6 <br />
