Solid Waste Advisory Board- - Regular Meeting November 14, 2002 Government Services Center - Chapel Hill Approved January 9, 2003 Jan reported that he and Al Vickers and Cal Horton, Chapel Hill Town Manager, met on Monday and a part of that discussion was that the bottom line was that our [the SWAB ] mission was from the [County] Commissioners and we didri t think if was appropriate for us to tell the Chapel Hill elected officials and manager to give that report to them before we gave it to the County Commissioners . We could discuss what they are interested in, what Chapel Hill wanted us to consider, and [how] we wanted that dialogue to take place, but our report would not go to Chapel Hill before it went to the Board of County Commissioners and he was very comfortable with that . Jan stated that the Chapel Hill Town Council wanted two things : 1 . A breakout cost of recycling vs . disposal 2 . How much of the cost will be borne by Chapel Hill residents and by jurisdiction Jan, Blair and Gayle elaborated on these issues . The report was asked to be distributed to all board members . Remus stated that he did a mailing to the Hillsborough elected officials and has not gotten a response from his mailing . Bill Rehm and Jacquie Gist stated their discussions with the elected officials of Carrboro who stated that the proposal would take approximately two additional personnel to accomplish what the SWAB Board is wishing to accomplish. Bonnie Norwood raised a related cost question on whether it would better to use the drop off points within neighborhoods instead of curbside [where the recycling trucks cannot routinely get down some of the small private roads] . A discussion followed and it was determined that the costs would be the same because the streets would still be serviced by the trucks even with people bringing their recycling to the drop off points . 3 . Continuation of funding scenarios and customer group impacts discussion . Jeff Hughes [from the Environmental Finance Center] gave a detailed synopsis of this item and distributed a copy of the scenario summaries . Scenario 11 - Fund Solid Waste Services completely , through availability fees with . no property tax increase .
