RE: SOLID WASTE-NATIONAL RESOURCE RECOVERY ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, through the offices of the Chairperson of the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners and the County Executive, Oakland County has formally
initiated discussion among the other Counties of the National Association of
Counties Organization (NACo) for the establishment of a unified approach to
support recycling through the development and expansion of the markets for
recycled goods; and
WHEREAS, such discussions, which were held during recent National NACo
Conferences, have substantiated the need for market development and have shown
that a broader forum for such development would be more effective; and
WHEREAS, the National Resource Recovery Association (NRRA), which is
affiliated with the United States Conference of Mayors, was formed in 1982, and
has brought together a membership of local governments and other organizations
such as regional authorities with associate members from consulting firms,
financial institutions, vendors and law firms; all with the common interest in
the management of municipal solid waste through the recovery, reuse and recycling
of materials and energy from the waste stream; and
WHEREAS, joining with the NRRA to work with Congress and the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency on legislative and regulatory issues that affect planned
and operating resource recovery projects would be in the best interests of the
County of Oakland.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby accept the invitation of the National Resource Recovery Association
to join with them in their efforts to promote recycling, and does hereby authorize
the payment of 1991 dues in the amount of $880.00.
Mr. Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
