BACKGROUND: At the Board's May 17, 2011 regular meeting, the Manager er presented a plan for the Remediation of the historic Rogers Road Community. Part of the plan included the establishment ent of a Rogers Road Remediation Reserve Fund with an initial appropriation of $750,000 from the Solid Waste Fund Balance effective Jury 1, 2011. In addition, the Manager recommended a $5.00 miked solid waste tipping fee surcharge be established. effective July 1, 2011 to support the Fund. The Manager er further recommended that the surcharge incrementally increase each fiscal year by a minimum $2 per ton as long as the landfill is operational to fund the Solid Waste Rogers ers Road R.emed iation .reserve Fund. All funds would bet maintained in the solid Waste Fund and used for rernediation of the Rogers road Community as directed by the Board. To implement a Mixed solid waste tipping fee increase, the Agreement for Solid Waste Management solid waste (often referred to as the "In erlocal Agreement") approved in 19 y the County as well as the towns of Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro requires that the Board of Commissioners adopt a resolution .starting the plans to increase the fee and that the County provide a coley of the approved resolution to all the Agreement parties. The copy of the approved resolution gust be provided to the Interlocal Agreement parties at least thirty (30) days prior to implementation of the tipping fee increase, If the Board approves the resolution at this meeting, the Clerk to the Board and Manager will provide copies of the resolution to each town in order to meet the 30-dal requirement ent in advance of the projected July 1, 2011 implementation date. t 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no finandiai impact associated with consideration of the resolution. The Landfill tipping fee surcharge could generate $1,800,000 over fire ,rears. Combined with the $750,000 initial contribution from the Solid Waste Fund Balance', total revenues of$2,550,000 could be established for the Rogers ers Road F eme i tion Reserve erve Fund. RECOMMENDATIONS , The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) approve a resolution exercising Orange County}s right to increase the nixed solid waste tipping fee to mitigate adverse environmental conditions and requesting Orange Count 's partner municipalities endorse the use of revenues generated by the increased fees for reme iation efforts in the Rogers road Area; and 2 direct the Clerk to the Board and Manager to provide copies of the resolution to each Interlocai Agreement party in order to meet the 3 -d y requirement in advance of the projected July 1, 2011 implementation date 3 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RESOLUTION EXERCISING ORANGE COUNTY'S RIGHT TO INCREASE THE MIXED SOLID WASTE TIPPING FEE TO MITIGATE.ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND REQUESTING ORANGE COUNTY'S PARTNER MUNICIPALITIES ENDORSE THE USE of AVENUES GE NE RATE Y THE INCREASED FEES FOR REMEDIATION EFFORTS IN THE ROG RS ROAD AREA.
