Minutes Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> August 6, 2009 <br /> Approved September 3, 2009 <br /> Yuhasz asks the 10, 000 to 20, 000 tons that escapes our waste stream, where is it <br /> making its escape . <br /> Pollock states that each year we get a series of reports from the State that every <br /> landfill and transfer station is obliged to report of how much garbage comes from <br /> Orange County . If you drew a hundred mile radius around Orange County you <br /> would capture some that now goes to the Durham transfer station for example . <br /> Smith asks living in the city limits of Hillsborough, how much do I pay for the 3 -R <br /> fund . <br /> Pollock replies this year it is $89 because the base fee of $37 stayed the same but the <br /> curbside fee went to $52 for the year . <br /> Smith asks if I lived outside the city limits, what would I pay . <br /> Pollock states if you had rural curbside collection service you would pay $ 75 which is <br /> the $37 base plus the $38 curbside fee . If you did not have curbside collection it <br /> would just be $37 . <br /> Sassaman asks Blair to enumerate what the next steps are . <br /> Pollock states that part of that is a decision that you all and the work group need to <br /> make --- set a timetable for a meeting and an agenda with the work group to request <br /> that the items enumerated here be ready for decision-making . Given the kind of <br /> magnitude and scope, what Doug recommends trying to either use the meeting or <br /> some kind of preliminary planning session to set some priorities would be useful . <br /> Setting a timetable for the balance of the work that would enable us to get done in the <br /> next six to eight months . Some decisions might include work on the financial <br /> elements, for example should we let the tip fee go as high as it needs to finance the <br /> transfer station. How to pull the plan recommendation together that incorporates all <br /> these elements . <br /> Sassaman asks if a summary of the list of decisions that have been made and the list of <br /> decisions that need to be made available by the September 3rd meeting . <br /> Pollock replies we can get there from here . <br /> Sassaman states lets have an agenda item that we set a timetable for development of a <br /> straw man for the work group . <br /> 5 .
