Brian <br />Barry, Executive Vice President of Container Corporation of Carolina (CCC), <br />relative to the November 15th termination of the existing recycling service <br />contract. Citing very limited review of those items, Mr. Hartsell recommended <br />that the Board approve the two documents in principle with final documents to be <br />brought back to the Board for ratification on November 1, 1993. <br /> <br /> Ms. Linda Ashendorf of BFI reiterated that company's desire to begin <br />recycling service in Cabarrus County on November 15. She asked that the "draft" <br />contract be approved in principle with final details to be resolved by the County <br />Attorney and the attorney for BFI. <br /> <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Fennel and seconded by Commissioner Payne <br />to approve the documents from CCC and BFI in principle with the County Attorney <br />to work out details of both contracts and bring the items to the Board for <br />ratification on November 1. However, both the motion and second were withdrawn <br />after discussion. <br /> <br /> The Board by consensus approved in principle the documents from CCC and BFI <br />with the actual documents to be brought back to the Board for approval on <br />November 1, 1993. The Board further recognized November 15, 1993 as the target <br />date for BFI to begin recycling service in Cabarrus County. <br /> <br />Proposed Compromise Meeting Time of 4:00 P.M. for the First Regular Meeting of <br />the Month - Commissioner Fennel <br /> <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Fennel to set the first regular meeting <br />of the month on the first Monday of each month at 4:30 P.M.

However, Commissioner Fennel withdrew the <br />motion after discussion. <br /> <br /> <br />
