BACKGROUND: Orange County is recognized as being number one in the state for waste reduction, reaching 59% of its 61% aggressive reduction goal. The County is disposing only 0.56 tons /person compared to the base year of 1991 -92, when the disposal rate measured 1.36 tons. In the region, Wake County has achieved a 25% reduction rate, Durham County rate is at 21%, Chatham County is at 37 %, and Alamance County at 26 %. Orange County's 61% waste reduction goal was adopted in 1997 by the County and by the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough as part of the County's original Comprehensive Solid Waste Plan. The County is committed to continuous robust public education services and waste reduction programs regardless of the funding or operational program implemented by the Board. The County's Reduce, Reuse & Recycle (3 -R) Fees consists of four annual recycling fees adopted by Orange County in 2004 to fund recycling programs and services that are billed in conjunction with the annual property tax. The fee consists of a Basic Fee ($37 /year) that is charged to all improved properties county -wide and funds various recycling operations such as the county Toxicity Reduction Improvement Program (Household Hazardous Waste, batteries, waste oil, electronics, etc.), recycling drop -off sites, recycling at solid waste convenience 2 centers, education and outreach, enforcement, planning, etc. An Urban Curbside Fee $52/ ear is assessed to improved residential properties within incorporated municipalities and funds weekly curbside recycling service. A Rural Curbside Fee ($38 /year) is charged to residential property in areas of unincorporated Orange County eligible to receive bi- weekly curbside recycling service. Finally, a Multi- family Fee ($19 /year) is charged multi - family units throughout Orange County for multi - family recycling services. See the Attachment 4, Solid Waste Recycling Division Schedule of Revenues and Expenses for Fiscal 2011/2012. Not related to recycling, the County also assesses a county -wide Solid Waste Convenience Center Fee that is billed in conjunction with the annual property tax. The Unincorporated Areas Fee is ($20 /year /Household), Incorporated Areas Fee is ($10 /year /Household), and Multi- family Fee is ($2 /year /multi - family unit). This basic Solid Waste Convenience Center Fee covers a portion of the operating costs of the County's five (5) Convenience Centers. A recent court decision, Lanvale v Cabarrus County, essentially says that where there is no direct statutory authority to levy a fee, a local government cannot levy a fee. Since the Lanvale opinion was issued, Orange County's staff has been engaged in discussions regarding how, going forward, the County can best address the issues created by this action of the Supreme Court. The Basic Fee is likely consistent with existing law, but the Urban, Rural and Multi- family recycling fees may not be consistent with existing case law. The County Manager will recommend that the Board of County Commissioners cease assessing the Urban, Rural and Multi- family recycling fees beginning with the Fiscal 2013/14 Annual Budget. The County Manager further recommends funding these services for Fiscal 2013/14 only with solid waste enterprise fund reserves to allow the County time to transition to an alternative solution. The Rural Curbside program currently is limited to 13,730 households eligible in the unincorporated area of the County. A rural curbside recycling fee is charged to those households where recycling services are made available. These services are provided by County Staff. Just 6,000 households lack access to rural curbside service at this time and are not charged the Rural Curbside Fee. Waste collections in unincorporated Orange County are provided by private haulers, without a County Franchise Agreement, on a voluntary basis to those using the services. The Urban Curbside recycling fee is charged to Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough municipal residents by the County for urban curbside recycling services. The services are paid for by Orange County Solid Waste under contract with Waste Industries, Inc. and the towns are responsible for household solid waste within their town limits. The Multi- family Fee is charged to each multi - family establishment in both incorporated and unincorporated Orange County based on the number of residential units for collection of recyclable materials at each of these locations. The multi - family recycling services are provided by Orange County Solid Waste staff. North Carolina General Statute 153A -136 (Attachment 1) Regulation of Solid Waste, gives counties the authority to grant a franchise for the exclusive right to collect or dispose of solid waste within all or a defined portion of the county and prohibit others from collecting or disposing of solid wastes in that area. The County is exploring a franchise agreement process for the unincorporated areas of the County which would include the privatization of curbside household solid waste and recycling. The County may by resolution permit a Solid Waste Ordinance to be adopted by the Towns and applicable within the Town limits. The Towns may 3 negotiate a fee schedule that differs from the fees established by the County for privatized curbside solid waste or recycling services. North Carolina General Statute 160A -327 (Attachment 2) provides that a unit of local government may displace a private company that is providing collection services for household solid waste or recovered material. The County is following the procedure outlined in GS 160A- 327. The earliest possible date for the Board to hold a hearing to consider implementing provisions of the statue is April 23, 2013. On March 7, 2013 the Board approved the scheduling of a public hearing on April 23, 2013 to discuss a proposal to move toward a county -wide Franchise agreement for curbside Solid Waste and Recycling Services in the unincorporated areas of Orange County and directed staff to proceed with the various steps required in NC General Statutes. Both rural solid waste collections and rural curbside recycling could be included in a county -wide Franchise Agreement. Below is the anticipated timeline, if Orange County moves toward the Franchise of Curbside Solid Waste and Recycling Services in Unincorporated Area of Orange County: • March 15, 2013 — Notice to existing private solid waste collection services of the April 23, 2013 public hearing to discuss Franchise Agreement and displacement of private solid waste collection services • April 9, 2013 — Funding options for Orange County's Recycling Programs discussed by the Board • April 23, 2013 — Public Hearing to discuss Franchise Agreement and displacement of private solid waste collection services implementing the 15 month public notice requirement • April 23, 2013 — June 15, 2013 — Create Request for Proposals (RFP) - Franchise Agreement • June 15, 2013 — August 15, 2013 RFP — available for vendors to responses • August 15, 2013 — September 30, 2013 — Staff evaluation of proposals and negotiations with vendors • October 8, 2013 Work Session — Discussion of Franchise Agreement • November 5, 2013 — Public Hearing to consider Franchise Agreement • November 19, 2013 — Board Approval of Franchise Agreement • July 1, 2014 — December 31, 2015 — Phased Implementation of Franchise Agreement The Board requested that staff present available options for Orange County to fund the County's Recycling Programs at a regular Board meeting on April 9, 2013. A county -wide Franchise agreement for curbside Solid Waste and Recycling Services in the unincorporated areas of Orange County is only one option being considered by the Board. Options 1 creates an Authority which would operate much like Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) as a standalone regional solution. This option would require the cooperation of two (2) or more local governments to form an Authority. An Authority would not be included in the County's General Fund Budget and would be governed by an independent board. 0 Options 2, 3, & 4 explore the creation of a Solid Waste Tax Service District which would function much like a Fire District. The size of the district and scope of services provided by the district would be determined by the Board. A Solid Waste Tax Service District would not impact the County General Fund but would be an independent special revenue fund. Options 5 & 6 propose to create a Solid Waste Franchise Agreement which could privatize rural curbside solid waste and /or rural curbside recycling. If Solid Waste collections are part of a comprehensive franchise agreement solution, unincorporated Orange County could be divided into districts which could be serviced by multiple private haulers. With either a county -wide franchise agreement or dividing the County into districts, a number of the existing twelve (12) private haulers may be displaced. Towns could opt in or opt out of a Franchise Agreement Option 7 is the only option that would impact the County's General Fund Budget, by financing recycling via the General Fund and would possibly have impact on the funding formula for Education, based on the 48.1 % of the County's General Fund commitment to Education. Option 8 could eliminate rural curbside recycling relying on Convenience Centers and Drop -off- sites. Urban and Multifamily Urban and Multifamily curbside recycling would be left up to the Towns. Municipal Solid Waste & Recycling Funding Options: 1) Eliminate all 3 -R Fees & Create a County -Wide Solid Waste Management Authority. North Carolina General Statute's 153A -421 (Attachment 3) outlines how two or more units of local government may create a regional solid waste management authority by adopting substantially identical resolutions to that effect in accordance with the provisions of this Article. The resolutions creating a regional solid waste management authority and any amendments thereto are referred to in this Article as the "charter" of the regional solid waste management authority. Units of local government which participate in the creation of a regional solid waste management authority are referred to in this Article as "members ". The purpose of a regional solid waste management authority is to provide environmentally sound, cost effective management of solid waste, including storage, collection, transporting, separation, processing, recycling, and disposal of solid waste in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. (The Basic 3 -R Fee could remain in place as part of decisions an Authority might make in determining revenue sources as services are extended county- wide.) 2) Keep only the Basic 3 -R Fee in place and supplement recycling with the creation of a County -Wide Solid Waste Tax Service District, to serve unincorporated areas of the County. Encourage the Towns to join the District, otherwise Urban and Multifamily curbside recycling would be left up to the Towns. 3) Eliminate all 3 -R Fees including the Basic 3 -R Fee & Create a County -Wide Solid Waste Tax Service District, to serve unincorporated areas of the County. Allow the Towns the option to join the District, otherwise Urban and Multifamily curbside recycling would be left up to the Towns. The new Solid Waste Tax Service District would fund the operation all five (5) Convenience Centers and recycling Drop -off Sites. 5 4) Keep the Basic 3 -R Fee and Create a Solid Waste Tax Service District for current Rural Curbside Routes serving 13,730 households. Urban and Multifamily curbside recycling would be left up to the Towns. A Solid Waste Tax Service District could be expanded to include all of the unincorporated areas of Orange County. 5) Keep only the Basic 3 -R Fee in place and create a County -Wide Solid Waste Franchise Agreement that could cover all Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Collections and Recycling in the unincorporated areas of Orange County. Municipalities within the County could have the option to participate in the Franchise Agreement and negotiate a fee schedule that differs from the fees established by the County. An anticipated time line is discussed above. 6) Keep only the Basic 3 -R Fee in place and create a County -Wide Recycling Franchise Agreement that could cover all curbside recycling in the unincorporated areas of Orange County. Municipalities within the County could have the option to participate in the Franchise Agreement and negotiate a fee schedule that differs from the fees established by the County. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Collections by the Towns and private haulers in the unincorporated areas of the County would not change. 7) Keep only the Basic 3 -R Fee in place and supplement recycling with a contribution from the General Fund, estimated to be $1.7 million annually, to keep Urban, Rural and Multifamily curbside recycling in place. A contribution of $1.7 million from the General Fund to the Solid Waste Fund would equal 1.1 cents on the County Property tax rate. The funding formula for Schools sets a target of 48.1 % of General Fund Expenditures for Schools. This would add $1.6 million for a total cost to the County of $3.3 Million or 2.1 cents on the County Property Tax Rate to supplement recycling with a General Fund Contribution. 8) Keep the Basic 3 -R Fee, eliminate all other 3 -R Fees, and eliminate rural curbside recycling relying on Convenience Centers and Drop- off - sites. Urban and Multifamily curbside recycling would be left up to the Towns. The County could increase the number of Recycling Drop- off - sites, both urban & rural, and increase the Basic 3 -R fee to pay for the operation of the new Centers. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to the County in discussing funding options for the County's Recycling Programs. There will be no impact on Solid Waste employees, with reductions to be managed through attrition, retirement and /or placement within Solid Waste. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager's prioritized recommendations are based upon suggested considerations that attempt a comprehensive solution approach to a much broader issue than just the impacts related to the "R Fees" created by the recent rulings of the North Carolina Supreme Court in the Lanvale decision. It is certain that the existing "R Fee" system for funding `curb -side' recycling within the Towns and portions of rural Orange County must change. The shift from a fee based recycling program to possible property tax based funding options will have an impact on all property owners and create the inequity of property owners paying for services that they may not utilize. Responding only to that need presents less than a comprehensive approach to the larger issue of solid waste management practices in Orange County going forward after June 30, 2013 when the Orange County Landfill closure occurs. A The listed recommendations come in order of preference based upon a comprehensive approach. They are based upon options that either include the Towns as `active - partners', as `consenting - partners' or accept the Towns will pursue a non - committal path that allows them the flexibility to do whatever is best for their needs individually versus a county -wide solution. Ultimately, a final best decision can be accomplished via a transition process that occurs over some period of time. At the moment, funding solutions for what is in place becomes the priority along with an equitable and equalized county -wide availability of service delivery options. 1. The optimal long -range solution for Orange County in this situation may be the formation of a Solid Waste Management Authority provided for within North Carolina General Statutes. The hurdle to this approach is that at least one of the three primary Towns within the county must also agree to the creation of the Authority. A comprehensive approach to both solid waste and recycling services can then be pursued that is functional and fundable via many various options. Services can be provided by County staff, contracted, franchised, optional or mandatory programs can be developed and /or otherwise formulated to compensate for a transitional process that ensures solid waste management and recycling remain an environmental priority in Orange County. (Consensus on this approach among the towns may evolve into a protracted process; a timely decision would be essential to success.) 2. If no Town is willing to work with the County on the Solid Waste Management Authority approach, then a county -wide Solid Waste Tax Service District approach is the more comprehensive and flexible option. It can provide services via County staffing, franchised, contracted, optional or mandatory programs or otherwise formulated approaches to both solid waste and recycling services as long as services are delivered and funded on some basis county -wide in the unincorporated areas of the County and can allow one or more towns to opt into the District once created. (This approach could include some combination of the Basic 3R Fees along with a county -wide tax.) 3. If either the Solid Waste Management Authority or the County -Wide Solid Waste Tax Service District approaches are not acceptable, then some configuration of a modified franchise approach to providing both solid waste and recycling services within the unincorporated areas of Orange County on a voluntary participation basis offers a solution. It allows existing participants in the unincorporated areas to gain the services (and pay for them directly) and does not require persons not using the services to pay for services they are not using (even though the services are available). Towns can pursue individual franchise agreements for services and /or be included in the County's efforts if they choose. (Again, the Basic 3R Fees could remain in place to support convenience center operations.) There are challenges and timelines that must be addressed with any of the options recommended or highlighted within this presentation. The notification to existing private solid waste haulers within Orange County and the scheduled public hearing related to the Franchising option must go forward to allow all options further consideration. Funding constraints do exist for continuation of existing programs beyond June 2014. As difficult as this decision may be, ultimately a change from existing circumstances is required. 7 Finally, while the other options outlined may work to some extent they do extend significant inequities and /or provide for a less `cost/service' focused approach to the issue and do not pursue actions that address solid waste management as a priority. In Orange County it is commendable that the County has the highest recycling rate in the State. There has been less significance placed a comprehensive approach to solid waste management practices. Outside of the Towns (which have assumed a role in solid waste collection), the County has focused on solid waste disposal (landfill operations) and recycling services. Both these roles are important environmental services. However, the landfill is closing June 30th, 2013; curbside recycling services must be funded via a different approach than the `R Fees'; and no organized approach exists for solid waste disposal in the unincorporated areas of the County except for county operated convenience centers (which may ultimately be deemed a sufficient solution). The recommendations above depart significantly from the County's historic approach to the issues of solid waste and recycling. They offer a more comprehensive and sustainable approach going forward. The Board of Commissioners has the prerogative to select from any of the other available options and they can expect County Staff will do its best to implement any decision made within parameters so established. GS_153A -136 ATTACHMENT 1 Page 1 of 2 8 § 153A -136. Regulation of solid wastes. (a) A county may by ordinance regulate the storage, collection, transportation, use, disposal, and other disposition of solid wastes. Such an ordinance may: (1) Regulate the activities of persons, firms, and corporations, both public and private. (2) Require each person wishing to commercially collect or dispose of solid wastes to secure a license from the county and prohibit any person from commercially collecting or disposing of solid wastes without a license. A fee may be charged for a license. (3) Grant a franchise to one or more persons for the exclusive right to commercially collect or dispose of solid wastes within all or a defined portion of the county and prohibit any other person from commercially collecting or disposing of solid wastes in that area. The board of commissioners may set the terms of any franchise, except that no franchise may be granted for a period exceeding 30 years, nor may any franchise by its terms impair the authority of the board of commissioners to regulate fees as authorized by this section. (4) Regulate the fees, if any, that may be charged by licensed or franchised persons for collecting or disposing of solid wastes. (5) Require the source separation of materials prior to collection of solid waste for disposal. (6) Require participation in a recycling program by requiring separation of designated materials by the owner or occupant of the property prior to disposal. An owner of recovered materials as defined by G.S. 130A- 290(a)(24) retains ownership of the recovered materials until the owner conveys, sells, donates, or otherwise transfers the recovered materials to a person, firm, company, corporation, or unit of local government. A county may not require an owner to convey, sell, donate, or otherwise transfer recovered materials to the county or its designee. If an owner places recovered materials in receptacles or delivers recovered materials to specific locations, receptacles, and facilities that are owned or operated by the county or its designee, then ownership of these materials is transferred to the county or its designee. (6a) Regulate the illegal disposal of solid waste, including littering on public and private property, provide for enforcement by civil penalties as well as other remedies, and provide that such regulations may be enforced by county employees specially appointed as environmental enforcement officers. (7) Include any other proper matter. (b) Any ordinance adopted pursuant to this section shall be consistent with and supplementary to any rules adopted by the Commission for Public Health or the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. (c) The board of commissioners of a county shall consider alternative sites and socioeconomic and demographic data and shall hold a public hearing prior to selecting or approving a site for a new sanitary landfill that receives residential solid waste that is located within one mile of an existing sanitary landfill within the State. The distance between an existing and a proposed site shall be determined by measurement between the closest points on the outer boundary of each site. The definitions set out in G.S. 130A -290 apply to this subsection. As used in this subsection: (1) "Approving a site" refers to prior approval of a site under G.S. 130A- 294(a)(4). (2) "Existing sanitary landfill" means a sanitary landfill that is in operation or that has been in operation within the five —year period immediately prior to the date on which an application for a permit is submitted. (3) "New sanitary landfill" means a sanitary landfill that includes areas not within the http: / /vAvw.nega. state.nc.us /gaseripts /statutes /statutelookup.pl ?statute =153 a... 2/25/2013 GS 153A -136 Page 2 of 2 0 legal description of an existing sanitary landfill as set out in the permit for the existing sanitary landfill. (4) "Socioeconomic and demographic data" means the most recent socioeconomic and demographic data compiled by the United States Bureau of the Census and any additional socioeconomic and demographic data submitted at the public hearing. (d) As used in this section, "solid waste" means nonhazardous solid waste, that is, solid waste as defined in G.S. 130A -290 but not including hazardous waste. (e) A county that has planning jurisdiction over any portion of the site of a sanitary landfill may employ a local government landfill liaison. No person who is responsible for any aspect of the management or operation of the landfill may serve as a local government landfill liaison. A local government landfill liaison shall have a right to enter public or private lands on which the landfill facility is located at reasonable times to inspect the landfill operation in order to: (1) Ensure that the facility meets all local requirements. (2) Identify and notify the Department of suspected violations of applicable federal or State laws, regulations, or rules. (3) Identify and notify the Department of potentially hazardous conditions at the facility. (f) Entry pursuant to subsection (e) of this section shall not constitute a trespass or taking of property.

Displacement of private solid waste collection services. (a) A unit of local government shall not displace a private company that is providing collection services for municipal solid waste or recovered materials, or both, except as provided for in this section. (b) Before a local government may displace a private company that is providing collection services for municipal solid waste or recovered materials, or both, the unit of local government shall publish notice of the first meeting where the proposed change in solid waste collection service will be discussed. Notice shall be published once a week for at least four consecutive weeks in at least one newspaper of general circulation in the area in which the unit of local government and the proposed displacement area are located. The first public notice shall be given no less than 30 days but no more than 60 days prior to the displacement issue being placed on the agenda for discussion or action at an official meeting of the governing body of the unit of local government. The notice shall specify the date and place of the meeting, the geographic location in which solid waste collection services are proposed to be changed, and the types of solid waste collection services that may be affected. In addition, the unit of local government shall send written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to all companies that have filed notice with the unit of local government clerk pursuant to the provisions of subsection (f) of this section. The unit of local government shall deposit notice in the U.S. mail at least 30 days prior to the displacement issues being placed on the agenda for discussion or action at an official meeting of the governing body of the unit of local government. (c) Following the public notice required by subsection (b) of this section, but in no event later than six months after the date of the first meeting pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, the unit of local government may proceed to take formal action to displace a private company. The unit of local government or other public or private entity selected by the unit of local government may not commence the actual provision of these services for a period of 15 months from the date of the first publication of notice, unless the unit of local government provides compensation to the displaced private company as follows: (1) Subject to subdivision (3) of this subsection, if the private company has provided collection services in the displacement area prior to announcement of the displacement action, the unit of local government shall provide compensation to the displaced private company in an amount equal to the total gross revenues for collection services provided in the displacement area for the six months prior to the first publication of notice required under subsection (b) of this section. (2) Subject to subdivision (3) of this subsection, if the displaced private company has provided collection services in the displacement area for less than six months prior to the first publication of notice required under subsection (b) of this section, the unit of local government shall provide compensation to the displaced private company in an amount equal to the total gross revenues for the period of time that the private company provided such services in the displacement area. (3) If the displaced private company purchased an existing operation of another private company providing such services, compensation shall be for six months based on the monthly average total gross revenues for three months the immediate preceding the first publication of notice required under subsection (b) of this section. (d) If the local government elects to provide compensation pursuant to subsection (c) of this section, the amount due from the unit of local government to the displaced company shall be paid as follows: one -third of the compensation to be paid within 30 days of the displacement and the balance paid in six equal monthly installments during the next succeeding six months. (e) If the unit of local government fails to change the provision of solid waste services as described in the notices required under subsection (b) of this section within six months of the date of the first meeting pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, the unit of local government shall not take action to displace without complying again with the provisions of subsection (b) of this section. (f) Notice of the provision of solid waste collection service shall be filed with the unit of local htin:/ /www.ncfza.state.nc.us /aascriDtS/ statutes /statatelookuD.Dl ?statute =160a 2/25/2013 Chapter 160a Page 2 of 3 11 government clerk of all cities and counties located in the private company's collection area or within five miles thereof. (g) This section shall not apply when a private company is displaced as the result of an annexation under Article 4A of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes or an annexation by an act of the General Assembly. The provisions of G.S. 160A -37.3, 160 -49.3, or 160A -324 shall apply. (h) If a unit of local government intends to provide compensation under subsection (c) of this section to a private company that has given notice under subsection (f) of this section, the private company shall make available to the unit of local government not later than 30 days following a written request of the unit of local government, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, all information in its possession or control, including operational, financial, and budgetary information necessary for the unit of local government to determine if the private company qualifies for compensation. The private company forfeits its rights under this section if it fails to make a good faith response within 30 days following receipt of the written request for information from the unit of local government provided that the unit of local government's written request so states by specific reference to this section. (i) Nothing in this section shall affect the authority of a city or county to establish recycling service where recycling service is not currently being offered. (j) As used in this section, the following terms mean: (1) Collection. - The gathering of municipal solid waste, recovered materials, or recyclables from residential, commercial, industrial, governmental, or institutional customers and transporting it to a sanitary landfill or other disposal facility. Collection does not include transport from a transfer station or processing point to a disposal facility. (2) Displacement. - Any formal action by a unit of local government that prohibits a private company from providing all or a portion of the collection services for municipal solid waste, recovered materials, or recyclables that the company is providing in the affected area at least 90 days prior to the date of the first publication of notice required by subsection (b) of this section. Displacement also means an action by a unit of local government to use an availability fee, nonoptional fee, or taxes to fund competing collection services for municipal solid waste, recovered materials, or recyclables that the private company is providing in the affected areas at least 90 days prior to the date of the first publication of notice required under subsection (b) of this section is given. Displacement does not include any of the following actions: a. Failure to renew a franchise agreement or contract with a private company. b. Taking action that results in a change in solid waste collection services because the private company's operations present an imminent and substantial threat to human health or safety or are causing a substantial public nuisance. C. Taking action that results in a change in solid waste collection services because the private company has materially breached its franchise agreement or the terms of a contract with the local government, or the company has notified the local government that it no longer intends to honor the terms of the franchise agreement or contract. Notice of breach must be delivered in writing, delivered by certified mail to the firm in question with 30 days to cure the violation of the contract. d. Terminating an existing contract or franchise in accordance with the provisions of the contract or franchise agreement. e. Providing temporary collection services under a declared state of emergency. f. Taking action that results in a change in solid waste collection services due to the existing providers' felony conviction of a violation in the State of federal or State law governing the solid waste collection or disposal. g. Contracting with a private company to continue its existing services or http:// w-�.neRa.state.nc.us /Rascripts/ statutes /statutelookup.pl?statute =160a 2/25/2013 Chapter 160a Page 3 of 3 12 provide a different level of service at a negotiated price on terms agreeable to the parties. (3) Municipal solid waste. - As defined in G.S. 130A- 290(18a). (4) Unit of local government - A county, municipality, authority, or political subdivision that is authorized by law to provide for collection of solid waste or recovered materials, or both.

Now, therefore be it RESOLVED by the Orange County Solid Waste Advisory Board that the Board of Orange County Commissioners make every reasonable attempt to achieve a financing option that preserves the present integrated recycling system and associated solid waste disposal systems among all of the jurisdictions in Orange County, and to particularly consider the option of a creating a single solid waste collection and disposal district (in accord with NC GS § 153A- 301(a)(5)) as the mechanism to continue financing this effort. Be it further RESOLVED that the Solid Waste Advisory Board recommends revisions to the existing Interlocal Agreement that would consider a District Interlocal Agreement for Solid Waste that would preserve the interests of, and continuity for, all of the participating jurisdictions while maintaining the administrative, operational, and fiscal leadership of Orange County for recycling operations.
