UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Lentz and unanimously carried, the Board moved that the County Attorney prepare a Complaint seeking an injunction against Charlotte concerning tipping fees at the landfill located at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and that the Chairman of the Board sign the Complaint. Mr. Manuel Kiser expressed concern that the amendment to the Solid Waste Ordinance prohibiting tipping fees for landfills in the county would prevent him from charging fees for the use of his demolition landfill in the future if he desired to do so. He asked that the Board seriously consider the matter before bringing legal proceedings against the City of Charlotte concerning tipping fees at the landfill at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
