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.
