Opening & Welcome Sassaman states that this months meeting will take the form of <br /> a working meeting. There is a lot of information to receive from consultants and staff. <br /> We will not have a public hearing type phase . While the public is welcome to be here, <br /> we will not be taking comments from the floor . <br /> I ' d like to welcome everyone that came out knowing we changed the time about three <br /> weeks ago . The reason for changing the time was to make sure that we had key <br /> people here, particularly our representative from the BOCC and Gayle from staff. <br /> They have a big meeting that they are obligated to go to tomorrow night. <br /> 2. Adoption of Minutes from May 7 SWAB meeting Vickers moves to accept. <br /> Norwood 2nd . Passes unanimously <br /> 3 . Transfer Station Site Search Update Wilson states that on the meeting of the 19dh the <br /> BOCC discussed whether they wanted to find out more about the Millhouse Rd . site <br /> in advance of determining whether to respond to the Town of Chapel Hill [to the <br /> effect] that, " Yes they would like to know if the Town is offering this property for <br /> serious consideration or not. " The Town indicated at their meeting on May 14d1 that <br /> they weren' t going to go through the discussion unless the Commissioners indicated <br /> that they were interested in pursuing, in some fashion, the Millhouse Road property . <br /> On the meeting on the 19th the BOCC indicated that they would like the consultant, <br /> Olver Inc . , to conduct a preliminary assessment and report back to them on June 161h <br /> and at that time the BOCC would receive that information and determine whether to <br /> formally request the Town of Chapel to decide whether they were in fact going to <br /> make this property available to the county for formal consideration or not. Tonight <br /> you are getting a sneak peek of some of the preliminary evaluation the consultant has <br /> preformed . The SWAB can decide whether it whishes to make any comments back to <br /> the BOCC or not regarding the discussion tonight. <br /> Sallach states that as a part of the initial evaluations this site was considered . The <br /> basis that it was evaluated on at that point in time, what we looked at, was the access <br /> to the site . If you look at Millhouse Rd . , access to this site would have been gained <br /> through some of these properties fronting the railroad . As we look at the site, looked <br /> at the access, the quality of Millhouse Rd . how it' s constructed, this site was not one of <br /> the sites selected as far as the evaluation under the technical and community specific <br /> criteria . <br /> 1 <br />
