Discuss Results of Technical Criteria along side Results of Community- Specific 26 "Criteria 27 28 Bob Sallach reiterated that the rank is simply the numeric point total and does not 29 represent the recommendation to the Board or the Board's desire. The highest ranked site is 30 #759. He said that there is a significant break after the sixth site in terms of total points. 31 He went through the Technical and Community- Specific Evaluation Summaries, which 32 showed the ranking of the sites based on both sets of criteria. For example, site 857 had a 33 technical criteria ranking of 1 but a community-specific criteria ranking of 6. 34 He said that this is presented to the Board for further consideration. 35 36 Chair Jacobs said that Commissioner Carey could not be here and is en route from the 37 airport and may be here later. He said that the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting 38 last week established that it did not want to have more than three candidate sites. 39 Commissioner Foushee pointed out that the Board did not officially decide on three sites, 40 but there was a general consensus. 41 Bob Sallach pointed out that in this consideration, there is one site that is freely offered for 42 sale, and this is site 056. 43 Commissioner Foushee made reference to the number of sites off of NC 54 and if anyone 44 has measured the distance from these sites to the 1-40/1-85 connector. Bob Sallach said that 45 they have looked at distances and travel time from the centroid of waste generation to the site, 46 but not to the station itself. He said that the travel pattern from the transfer station will be 47 somewhat dictated on where ultimate disposal is. 48 Commissioner Nelson said that, in looking at the community-specific and technical criteria, 49 it seems that there is a fairly clean break between the top four sites and the fifth site.
