Last fiscal year, asub-committee of the LOG met and issued <br />recommendations regarding the extension of water lines to various properties in and around the <br />historic Rogers Road neighborhood. <br />With the recent completion of the interlocal agreement governing the future organization and <br />structure of solid waste management among Orange County and its municipal governments, it <br />will be the responsibility of the County Commissioners to oversee the implementation of the <br />remaining landfill community benefits. On October 6, 1999, Commissioners Halkiotis and <br />Jacobs, formerly members of the LOG Community Benefits Committee, met with County staff to <br />review the water line extension recommendations. Details must still be worked out on the exact <br />scope, responsibilities, timetable, and financing mechanisms involved with the various aspects <br />of the water line extension project. Nevertheless, as a result of that meeting, the Administration <br />recommends that the Board initiate action that would lead to design of the extended system and <br />installation of the main lines that will carry water to the historic Rogers Road neighborhood. It is <br />the Board's stated intention to use Landfill Funds for the provision of landfill community benefits <br />
