whenever feasible, and
WHEREAS, by Executive Order, the Federal Government has
directed an increase in the acquisition of recycled products,

WHEREAS, NACo, the U.S. Conference of Mayors and cities
and counties across the Nation, including Washtenaw County, have
joined in supporting this effort to maximize the reuse of our
natural resources by adopting rigorous requirements for purchasing
recycled products.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County

recycled products, and to strengthen those policies through the
adoption of a revised recycled products purchasing policy.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Purchasing Services

recommendation of NACo and the U.S. Conference of Mayors to emulate
the Executive Order cited, and exceed it where possible. The
revised policy should be completed for Board of Commissioner's
approval by February 1, 1995.
