MISC. RESOLUTION #91296
BY: RUEL E. MC PHERSON
RE: SOLID WASTE--RECYCLING CAMPAIGN
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, Oakland County Government is fully committed to
a multi-faceted approach to solid waste management which relies
heavily on the success of its recycling program, and
WHEREAS, the preeminent means to ensure that the
recycling component of our solid waste plan is successful is to
fully educate the public on not only the necessity of recycling but
on how and what they should recycle, and
WHEREAS, to further promote recycling, local units of
government within the County need to be assisted with the capital
purchases of recycling equipment.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of
Commissioners hereby directs the Oakland County Solid Waste
Department to develop an aggressive County-wide recycling education
program, and establish a $1,000,000 matching-fund program to assist
local communities in purchasing recycling equipment.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution.
