Executive Summary:

The Commission on City-County Relations, which submitted its report to the Governor and General Assembly of Virginia in January, 1975, was continued by Chapter 131 of the 1975 Acts of Assembly in order that it might be available to assist in the legislative review of its recommendations.(*1) In addition to fulfilling the role for which it was continued, the Commission was requested at a joint meeting of the Senate Committee on Local Government and the House Committee on Counties, Cities, and Towns in April, 1975, to examine and make recommendations with respect to the interlocal difficulties which arise from efforts by the State's local jurisdictions to secure sites for solid waste disposal. This report and the proposal which it contains are made pursuant to that request. With their . varying backgrounds and perspectives, all members of the Commission do not necessarily agree with every detail of every recommendation offered in this report. However, these proposals represent the best thinking of the Commission and a majority viewpoint among the Commission members.
