ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGULAR AGENDA A. 1993-94 BUDGET, CAPITAL AND GRANT PROJECT ORDINANCES Commissioner Gordon indicated she supports the budget as decided at their last budget meeting. Commissioner Halkiotis stated he opposed the merit system as it currently exists and would like to delete it from the proposed budget saving $185,000. Commissioner Insko would like to cut 1/2 cent from the property tax rate. She proposed setting the per pupil rate at $1, 355, delay positions which will save $40,000 and delete $74,931 from the County's C.I.P. appropriation. This would set the tax rate at 83 . 1 cents. Commissioner Willhoit suggested reducing the merit by taking 1/4% from each step, decrease the per pupil by $10. 00 and cut $100, 000 from the County's C.I.P. appropriation. Chair Carey noted that there would be a tax increase next year because of the bond and there would also be increased operational costs for the new schools coming on line. He agrees with what was decided at their last budget session. He does not support tinkering with the merit plan at this time. This could be a topic for discussion at a later meeting. Commissioner Halkiotis supports the allocation for the schools. Significant impacts need to be made for the kids. When the citizens voted for the bond, they knew their taxes would be increased. Commissioner Willhoit asked that a work session be scheduled with the schools. He feels that the funding must level off at some point. Commissioner Insko noted that the real successful schools are the ones that are restructuring and not the ones that are spending more money. Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Insko to approve the 1993-94 Orange County Budget Ordinance, Grant Project Ordinances and Capital Project Ordinances as attached to these minutes on pages VOTE: UNANIMOUS Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to approve the Salary Schedule, the Classification and Pay Plan and Revisions to Orange County Fees as indicated on pages of these minutes.

Commissioner Willhoit asked that the Arts Commission be included in the selection of any art that may be considered for the building. A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve a contract with Hakan/Corley and Associates, Chapel Hill, NC, in the amount of $356, 320 for design services of the Southern Human Services Building; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board, contingent upon Attorney and staff review. VOTE: UNANIMOUS C. DRAFT SCOPE OF WORK AND PROCESS FOR DEVELOPING A SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN The Board considered the proposed scope of work and process for development of an integrated Solid Waste Plan. Commissioner Gordon asked that the Board be involved at the time information is gathered on existing solid waste systems and also receive a copy of the interim report for their input. These suggestions will be incorporated in the final scope of work. D. RAW WATER ALLOCATIONS FROM JORDON LAKE The Board discussed maintaining Orange County's Level II (long range) 1.0 million gallon per day allocation of raw water supply from the Jordon Lake and pursuing acquisition of all or a portion of the allocations relinquished by the Town of Hillsborough and the Orange-Alamance Water System. A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Chair Carey to approve, in principal, a contract between the County and the NCEMC for a 1. 0 mgd Level II allocation and $1572.43 for fiscal year 1992-93 and that $1860 for fiscal year 1993-94 be set aside as necessary to address the costs associated with the County's Level II allocation. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Commissioner Willhoit asked that the Board meet with OWASA and others involved about purchasing the allocations relinquished by the Town of Hillsborough and the Orange-Alamance Water System. A letter will be sent to OWASA indicating the Board would like to work with them in this endeavor. He suggested that the County review the timeline on when water will be available. He asked that a report be done on the cost effectiveness of relying on OWASA and the Jordon for water versus building a reservoir. E. OUT OF COUNTY WASTE ORDINANCE A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to adopt the ordinance restricting the disposal of solid waste at the Orange County Landfill as stated below: 12 AN ORDINANCE RESTRICTING THE DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE AT THE ORANGE LANDFILL WHEREAS, the Orange County Landfill was acquired and is owned jointly by the County of Orange and the Towns of Carrboro and Chapel Hill; and, WHEREAS, the Governing Bodies of the three owners maintain and operate the Orange County Landfill, through the Town of Chapel Hill as Landfill Administrator, for the benefit of the citizens and property owners of their jurisdictions; and WHEREAS, the Orange County Landfill is a valuable and limited resource which the three owners wish to preserve and conserve, in order that it may be available for use by the citizens of Orange County, Carrboro and Chapel Hill; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Orange as follows: Section 1.

PROPOSAL FOR REGIONAL COORDINATION FOR PERMANENT HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM The Board considered a proposal from the Triangle Region Solid Waste Planners' Committee for a regionally coordinated Household Hazardous Waste Program for Chatham, Durham, Orange and Wake Counties. Their recommended approach includes developing permanent household hazardous waste facilities at each of the publicly owned landfills in the region and having 13 a single hazardous waste contractor service all the sites with collection and processing of the wastes. All jurisdictions would also jointly purchase the same type storage building for these materials. A motion was made by Commissioner Insko, seconded by Commissioner Willhoit to adopt the resolution as stated below and to pursue through the region a regionwide predisposal fee and to support HB54. A RESOLUTION REGARDING REGIONAL COORDINATION OF HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION WHEREAS, many common household products such as oven cleaners, metal and furniture polishes, pesticides, drain cleaners, disinfectants, rug and upholstery cleaners, motor oil, transmission and brake fluids and paints can be a threat to public safety and the environment if not properly handled and disposed of; and WHEREAS, the average household discards 21 pounds of hazardous household waste per year; and WHEREAS, the current Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program in the County of Orange captures only a very small percentage of the household hazardous waste disposed of by its residents; and WHEREAS, permanent household hazardous waste collection facilities have been successful in other jurisdictions in greatly increasing the amount of household hazardous waste collected from residents; and WHEREAS, short-term storage and consolidation of household hazardous waste at a permanent collection facility has enabled other jurisdictions to lower the disposal cost per unit of this material; and WHEREAS, the sharing of disposal contractor mobilization and transportation expenses through a disposal contract coordinated with other local governments in the Triangle would likely reduce disposal costs for household hazardous waste; and WHEREAS, joint bidding on household hazardous waste storage buildings and equipment with other local governments in the Triangle would likely result in cost savings; and WHEREAS, the Triangle Region Solid Waste Planners' Committee has conducted a ten-month study of permanent household hazardous waste collection facilities in the United States and produced a valuable report and recommendations for the Triangle region; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Orange supports the efforts of the Triangle Region Solid Waste Planners' Committee to determine the cost- effectiveness of coordinated household waste collection from permanent collection facilities in the Triangle region; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County of Orange authorizes the Manager to appoint one or more representatives to serve on the Triangle Region Solid Waste Planners' Committee for the purpose of developing and reviewing responses to region-wide Requests for Qualifications and Requests for Proposals regarding: (a) a coordinated disposal contract for household hazardous waste collected from permanent sites in the region; and (b) a joint bid on household hazardous waste storage buildings and equipment; and 14 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, if a permanent facility in the County of Orange appears cost-effective as a result of responses to region-wide requests for proposals for coordinated household hazardous waste disposal, the County of Orange endorses the concept of establishing a permanent household hazardous waste collection facility within its jurisdiction.
