Minutes - Regular Meeting Solid Waste Advisory Board May 7, 2009 Approved June 3, 2009 did a county wide search just like for the transfer station and looked at many sites and came up with 16 sites . They went through a long process of many months and about one month before they decided to vote on it all of a sudden site 17 was added to the list. Site 17 was on the Blackwood property . Everyone thought that was a great idea . It didn' t quite work out that way . That was dropped and we went to the waste transfer sties . The promise was always made not on Eubanks Rd . Now we come back to the full circle . Let me talk about the method . I find it extremely underhanded that I only learned about this tonight. I find it extremely underhanded that they have said nothing, as far as I know, to anybody on Millhouse Rd . This divide and conquer is not the way to go . That is poor . I don' t know the facts . Does anybody care to tell me the facts ? I also find it strange going to meetings for 20 years it is always a one -way discussion. Whoever is on these boards don' t like to talk to the public . We get to stand up here and say our little speall but the people on the board don' t like to answer questions . Can you tell me if this is fact or fiction? Am I invited to the meeting tomorrow?

Besides that I can' t tell you what will happen. I ' ve just heard people mention it and they are not people in power . Carver states that Mr . Foy is in power . Is this a process that is going to go forward ? Sassaman states that whatever might happen, the issue of the siting of a waste transfer station is not our agenda . It is the responsibility of the BOCC . They have not delegated that to us . We have made some recommendations of where we think our good sites and bad sites are in the past. The whole issue of siting is not our responsibility . Carver states that I accept that and I understand that. At the same time I would say you certainly had inputs to the BOCC and I take it that Chapel Hill and Carrboro and in that perspective you ' ve had more say than I do . In fact if you live in Chapel Hill or 3
