Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS your Committee has considered at length the environmental problems of
excessive weeds in the County's lakes, solid waste collection and disposal and recycling
programs and solutions thereto; and

to be known as Environmental Protection Coordinator, for the purpose of coordinating
efforts of citizens, local units and the County in implementing programs to control weed
growth in the County lakes, disposal of solid waste materials by incineration and land-
fills, which includes recycling materials, and other programs to protect against air and
water pollution; and

Environmental Protection Coordinator be vested in the Drain Office, which office, having
the technical data and engineering skills relative to lake environmental controls, drains,
pollution control facilities and construction thereto, would provide a natural continuity
of coordination with County departments, local units, State and Federal agencies and
the citizenry in the fight against pollution and the protection of our environment;
