fm~imninento/ August 29, 1999 Dear Orange County Commissioners: MANA Environmental, Inc., the Orange County Coordinators for the First Citizens Bank Big Sweep, hereby petitions the Orange County Commissioners for their support and assistance with the September 18, 1999 countywide stream cleanup. Orange County is rich in natural resources and beauty and water is a basic and essential need for all life, trash fouls our waterways as well as our landscapes, diminishing the beauty and usefulness of their waters. The citizens of Orange County have long established clean streams as a community value. Therefore we request that the Orange County Commissioners direct the County Manager to provide the following assistance with the September 18, 1999 First Citizens Bank Big Sweep stream cleanup. • Designate County staffmember(s) as Zane Captains to assist and coordinate volunteers on September 18'~ with cleanups. • Solicit County employees as voluneers in addition to the general public. • Provide incentives to citizens and employees for their participation in the Big Sweep event. • Provide dumpsters, or other means, at cleanup sites for depositing trash collected by volunteers. • Transport the litter collected to the Landfill at the completion of the event. Further MAMA Environmental, Inc. asks that The Orange County Commissioners adopt a resolution declaring September 18, 1999 as Orange County Big Sweep 1999 Day. We hope the County Commissioners will join us in urging the citizens of Orange County to do their part to restore the beauty and function of our lakes and streams by volunteering to participate in the Big Sweep event. MANA Environmental, Inc. thanks the Orange County Commissioners for their support and assistance with the 1999 First Citizens Bank Big Sweep stream cleanup. Sincerely, Michael A.
