Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> May 3, 2007 <br /> Approved June 7, 2007 <br /> 6 . Programs/Services Update <br /> SW Operations Center Pollock states that because of the experimental waste water <br /> system it is not going to make the commissioners June meeting . <br /> Highzvay 57 Convenience Center Site Identification Pollock states that there is still no new <br /> site yet. <br /> Walnut Grove Convenience Center Temporary Expansion Pollock states that it is up and <br /> running and look forward to changing that site to a higher quality site . <br /> Orange County Comprehensive Planning Process Pollock states that the county is <br /> involved in updating it comprehensive plan for the first time since 1981 . One of the <br /> things they started to do was look at the land use element and decided that it should <br /> be a broader look . They decided to involve the advisory boards with a hierarchy of <br /> those in the foremost like land use and transportation, etc . In order not to leave out <br /> any boards, other boards will participate in the goal setting process . Gayle suggested <br /> that I become the liaison because the SWAB ' s plate is full, I am familiar with it, and <br /> I ' m the Solid Waste Planner . But, if the SWAB wants to appoint their own <br /> representative they can. So there are two issues for you all to decide on - appointing a <br /> liaison and what ief-goals-doeskind of goals do the SWAB want to bring to the <br /> planning process . We have given you some goals to push against. Where do land use <br /> and solid waste goals intersect. It' s hard to get anything sited, for example building a <br /> composting plant would require appropriate zoning regulations . <br /> Sassaman asks who do we want to be the liaison between the SWAB and the planning <br /> board . <br /> Smith replies Blair . <br /> Linda 2nd , <br /> Passes unanimously . <br /> Pollock mentions that he will function in this role until and unless the SWAB decides <br /> they want a member to do it. <br /> Sassaman asks are there any other goals we want Blair to put forward . <br /> Vickers states that in the third item you have listed on providing adequate facilities <br /> for multi-family residential, it seems to be a no brainer but the last three development <br /> issues I reviewed for Carrboro had shown no way to collect waste and recyclables . <br /> 7 <br />
