The Board of County Commissioners shall approve the appointment by the Sheriff and Register of Deeds of a relative by blood or marriage of nearer kinship than first cousin as required by Chapter 153-A-103(1) of the N. C. General Statutes. 7L0N CONTROL RESOLUTION CONSIDERED: Mr. Carson Fisher addressed this subject. The resolution has been put together by a coalition of solid waste professionals who are concerned about the solid waste flow control and how the lack of solid waste flow could affect the solid waste facilities in North Carolina, especially those who are operated by governmental regulations. The point in the adoption of this resolution is to ask the U. S. Congress to take up the issue and decide whether flow control is an issue that can be approved through the Constitution; and if not, ask them to make that change too. Ron Weatherman said what this resolution is asking is that the General Assembly stick with the facts and that each county government have a right to decide what they will do with their waste. Sixty-five counties have already signed this resolution, he said. Commissioner Boone inquired if there would be any objection to removing recyclable materials from the resolution. MOTION from commissioner Boone to amend the resolution to insert the words being provided the municipal solid waste will not include recyclable materials.
