allowing them to have up to 3,500 sq. ft. of available space.
DISCUSSION OF G.S. 130A-301.2 & SMALL CONSTRUCTION AND
DEMOLITION LANDFILLS: The county manager advised that he had
received a memo from the NCACC informing of a new law (Senate
Bill 9) that allows individuals to bury construction and
demolition debris on their own land. The five permitting
requirements necessary for a small private demolition debris
landfill are:
1. The landfill must be located at least one-quarter of a
mile from any other landfill of any type.
2. The perimeter of the landfill must be at least fifty
feet from the boundary of the property.
3. The perimeter of the landfill must be at least 500 feet
from the nearest drinking water well.
4. The waste disposal area of the landfill must be at least
four feet above the seasonal high ground water table.
5. The landfill must comply with all applicable federal,
state & local laws, regulations, rules, and ordinances.
The permitting of the landfills will be the responsibility
of the county. Ron Weatherman said he would develop a permitting
procedure and return it to the Board for approval. He stated
that the new requirements would not place a burden on his staff
since many of the items were already being accomplished.
Further, he mentioned that 197 dumping sites were cleaned up in
the County last year.
A question was raised about the Fox Mountain dump site and
Weatherman responded that several tickets had been issued.
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF DECEMBER REFUNDS & RELEASES: Mr.
Brent Weisner stated that the refunds and releases were in order
and he recommended approval.
DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL REFINANCING OF TEE 1992 SPECIAL
OBLIGATION BONDS AND INSTALLMENT NOTES Susan Blumenstein advised
that she had been investigating the refinancing of the health
department installment note. She has found that $533,863 could
be the amount of interest saved from refinancing. The current
interest rate is 6.71% and a refinanced rate would be 4.75%
(subject to change). BB&T Leasing offers the lowest finance
charges known at this time. Commissioner Madison suggested that
Blumenstein contact First Union tosee if this institution would
offer a feasible refinancing package since this bank did the
original note.
In addition, Blumenstein has been looking at the 1992 issue
of Special Obligation Bonds for the Solid Waste Disposal
Facility. The refinancing on this project would be more
difficult and would require the assistance of the original
financing team (Alex Brown & Sons, Inc., Brown & Wood, and BB&T
Leasing Corp.). There would not be any costs incurred during the
work period. If the Local Government Commission was not
satisfied with the financing team's efforts, they would not
pursue the refinancing.
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF COMPUTER EQUIPMENT LEASE FOR NAPPING
DEPARTMENT: Jerry Lundy explained that computer network
equipment consisting of one file server and seven work stations
was in the 95-96 budget for this department. Since the rental
payments are on a multi-year basis, approval is needed from the
Board. A total rental charge of $40,143.84 is being asked for
the leasing. This is broken down into $3,345.32 per quarter for
the next three years.
