<br />
<br />County Curbside Reoycling Survey
<br />
<br />Eileen Sousley, Waste Reduction/Recycling Coordinator. reported an
<br />increased interest in curbside recycling. She stated plans have been
<br />developed ,to mail.. survey to BFI's existing customer base of 10,600 citizens
<br />residing in the un~ncorporated areas of Cabarrus County to obtain a consensus
<br />as to whether the citizens want curbside recycling. The cost of this service
<br />to the residents would be an additional $2.75 per month to their garbage
<br />collection bill. Ms. Sousley pointed out the returned responses will
<br />determine if the service is provided, meaning all or none of BFI's customers
<br />would get curbside recycling based on the majority of returned responses.
<br />
<br />Mr. Day provided ,a historical overview of trash collection in Cabarrus
<br />County including- rates, past surveys and franchise agreements. He
<br />recommended the loard establish a threshold of returned responses to
<br />establish curbside recycling service'. He stated it was in the County'S ,best
<br />interest to make the landfill last as long as it can by encouraging the
<br />recycling and reus~ of materials.
<br />
<br />, UPON MOTtON of Commissioner Carpenter, seconded by Commissioner
<br />Privette and unanimously carried" the Board endorsed the curbside recycling
<br />survey as presented and established a majority of 51 percent of returned
<br />responses as the determining factor for curbside recycling.
<br />
<br />tssues Related to t~e Advancement of School Adequacy
<br />
<br />Jonathan Marshall, Commerce Director, stated a memorandum was included
<br />in the Agenda explaining the effective date of the countywide school adequacy
<br />review and the time at which a subdivision application is vested. He also
<br />discussed the time at which school adequacy is advanced. Mr. Marshall
<br />reported collection of the monetary advancement originally began at the
<br />recordation of a final plat, but had migrated to being collected at the
<br />issuance of building permitting. He said payment at the time' of final
<br />platting would be the better of the two methods to meet the intended goal of
<br />advancing school adequacy. Mr. Marshall listed a number of issues that he
<br />said would need to be considered if the Board chooses to require the
<br />collection of monetary advancement prj;cr to the recordation of the final
<br />subdivision maps. These included the following: (1) Completion of non-
<br />monetary contributions, in the form of land or services; (2) Attachment of a
<br />legal description of property to each recorded Consent Agreement; (3)
<br />Permitting a schedUle of payment by owners with the obligation for payment
