2 <br />'~~ <br />1 "The Orange County Board of Commissioners held a scheduled work session on <br />2 September 16, 2008 on the topic of siting a Solid Waste Transfer Station. Included in the <br />3 materials for that meeting were documents related to soliciting public comment as part of the <br />4 ongoing siting process. Neither the future steps in the process nor the `Community-Specific <br />5 Criteria-Public Input Form' suggested by the consultant, Olver, Inc., were approved by the <br />6 Board. No deadline for submitting public comment was established by the Board either. <br />7 Olver, In. was instead directed by the Board to suspend the proposed public meetings <br />8 and to report its independent professional findings under the Comuunity-Specific criteria at the <br />9 next Transfer Station siting meeting. County management and Olver, Inc. will provide a <br />10 recommended strategy to the Board at the next Transfer Station siting meeting on how best to <br />11 incorporate public comment into the overall siting process. <br />12 The next Transfer Station siting meeting will be held at the Southern Human Services <br />13 Center on Homestead Road in Chapel Hill on Tuesday, October 21 starting at 5:30 p.m. Each <br />14 Transfer Station siting meeting agenda includes a period reserved for public comment. The <br />15 Board of Commissioners values public comment, has built opportunities for residents to speak <br />16 into every step of the process, and will continue to do this in keeping with Orange County <br />17 traditions of openness and participatory government." <br />18 <br />19 Chair Jacobs said that the addition to the agenda was a presentation by the Emergency <br />20 Services Director. <br />21 Emergency Services Director Frank Monies de Oca made this presentation. <br />22 Chair Jacobs distributed the Certificates of Recognition. <br />23 <br />24 Re: Certificate of Recognition <br />25 <br />26 Presented by: Commissioner Barry Jacobs, Chair <br />27 <br />28 Presented to: Hillsborough Police Department <br />29 Orange Rural Fire Department <br />30 Orange County 9-1-1 Communications <br />31 Orange County Emergency Medical Services <br />32 <br />33 <br />34 Accepting for each department: <br />35 <br />36 Hillsborough Police Department -Lieutenant Brad Whitted on behalf of Officer <br />37 Scott Foster and Officer Mike Foushee <br />38 <br />39 Orange Rural Fire Department -Captain John Moore on behalf of Deputy Chief <br />40 Mac Cabe, Lieutenant Adam Guttman and Firefighter Billy Smith <br />41 <br />42 Orange County 9-1-1 Communications -Corporal Josh Robinson and <br />43 TelecommunicatorTnmmy Holmes <br />44 <br />45 Orange County Emergency Medical Services - Lt.
