ORANGE COUNW <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: June 4, 2002 <br /> Action Agen a <br /> tom No. <br /> SUBJECT: Resolution Regarding Scrap Tire Disposal Program <br /> DEPARTMENT: Solid Waste Management PUBLIC HEARING: (V/N) No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Proposed Resolution Gayle Wilson, Solid Waste Management <br /> 1012100 Staff Letter on Scrap Tire Program Director, 968-2885 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough 733.8161 <br /> Chapel Hill 9684501 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> Mebane 336-227-2031 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider a resolution urging the Orange County legislative delegation to <br /> support making permanent the existing 2% advance disposal tax for scrap tires. <br /> BACKGROUND: During the Board's work session on solid waste matters on May 23, 2002, <br /> Commissioners indicated the desire to review and adapt a resolution that would support <br /> elimination of the planned sunsetting of state law that provides for a 2% advance disposal tax <br /> on the sale of tires in North Carolina. The proceeds of that tax are distributed to North Camlina <br /> counties to provide funding for scrap tire management activities. Staff have prepared the <br /> accompanying resolution for the Boards consideration. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this resolution. <br /> However, continuation of the advance disposal tax would ensure that Orange County has a <br /> reliable, dedicated source of funding for its successful scrap fire management program. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Boom adopt the proposed <br /> resolution. <br />
