  law, a county within which  an  industrial  hazardous  waste  treatment,
  storage  and  disposal facility subject to this title is to be situated,

  with the applicant to develop mutually acceptable solutions to  problems
  which may be created by the siting of the facility in the community.

  two-thirds  of  the  members  shall be designated by the chief executive
  officer of the affected city, town  or  village  as  the  case  may  be,
  provided  however,  if the proposed facility is located in more than one
  city, town or village, the  chief  executive  officer  of  such  cities,
  towns,  or  villages shall have the authority to appoint an equal number
  of members to the local advisory committee, the total of which shall not
  be less than two-thirds of such committee.
    3. The members of the committee  shall  be  deemed  employees  of  the

  between the applicant and such committee. The chairman of  the  facility
  siting board or his designee shall endeavor to foster a dialogue between
  the  applicant  and  the  committee,  and to that end, shall convene and
