22 <br /> Whereas, the Ordinance specifically provides that Construction and Demolition Waste is not <br /> allowed at the Centers, and <br /> Whereas, the Board has determined that it is in the interests of the County to allow limited <br /> amounts of residential Construction and Demolition Waste to be deposited at the Centers by <br /> Orange County residential users; and <br /> Whereas, there is also one provision in the Ordinance that related to the MSW landfill that was <br /> closed in 2013 and is no longer relevant. <br /> NOW, therefore be it ordained that the Code of Ordinances, Orange County, North Carolina, <br /> Chapter 34, is hereby amended in section 34-40 thereof to read as set forth on the attachment <br /> hereto. <br /> This Amendment shall become effective on August 3, 2020. <br /> Adopted by the Orange County Board of Commissioners this day of June, 2020. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Marcoplos, seconded by Commissioner Dorosin <br /> for the Board to: <br /> 1) approve the attached proposed resolution amending the Solid Waste Ordinance with <br /> the amendments becoming effective August 3, 2020; <br /> 2) direct solid waste staff to consistently enforce Section 34-40 of the Solid Waste <br /> Ordinance related to construction and demolition waste as set forth in the amended <br /> Ordinance beginning August 3, 2020; and <br /> 3) in the interim, pursue a public education effort to inform the public and also make <br /> signage improvements at the various Centers to educate the public and enhance <br /> administration of the Ordinance provisions. <br /> Commissioner McKee offered a non-friendly amendment to change the 36 feet to 60 <br /> cubic feet. <br /> Commissioner Price seconded. <br /> Commissioner Price said initially she had no qualms with this as written, but <br /> Commissioner McKee has used SWCC for years, and she respects his comments and input on <br /> what is most reasonable to for those who regularly use SWCCs. <br /> Commissioner Greene asked if the resolution includes a provision to review the issue in <br /> a year's time. <br /> Chair Rich said it is not in there. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he would accept Commissioner Greene's suggestion to re- <br /> evaluate the matter after a year. <br /> Commissioner Price agreed. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said he has been using these same SWCC dumpsters for <br /> years, which informed his motion as well. <br /> Commissioner Greene said the current practice has been 120 cubit feet, and 60 cubic <br /> feet seems a more reasonable reduction than 36 cubic feet. <br /> VOTE: ON AMENDMENT <br />
