SAY 2 11980 � BooK 43 PgE 5�8 WERE WILLING TO PAY THE LANDFILL CHARGES, BUT APPARENTLY THEY HAD NOT THOUGHT THIS PROJECT THROUGH. COMMISSIONER LOY CONTINUED THAT THERE IS A SANITATION SERVICE AVAILABLE IN THE COUNTY, AND ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THEY COULD BURN SOME OF THE DEBRIS. SHE FURTHER NOTED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS DEBRIS CONTAINS GARBAGE THAT DOES NOT COME FROM THE CENTER. COMMISSIONER WODTKE EXPR-ESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE LOST OUR REPRESENTATIVE ON`THE E.O.C. BOARD, WHO WAS VERY MUCH INVOLVED WITH AND CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR FINANCIAL OPERATION. HE ALSO FELT THAT MR. LUNDY, WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THAT AREA, VERY PROBABLY COULD GET SOMEONE WITH A FRUIT TRUCK OR SOMETHING OF THAT TYPE TO HAUL THE DEBRIS AWAY, WITH REGARD TO PARTICIPATING IN THE FARM WORKERS SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM, COMMISSIONER WODTKE WAS OF THE OPINION'THAT IT IS A WASTE OF FEDERAL FUNDS UNLESS THEY CAN FIND SOME- THING MORE CONSTRUCTIVE FOR THESE YOUNG PEOPLE TO DO THAN SIMPLY CLEAR UP DEBRIS. HE DID NOT FEEL THE COUNTY SHOULD GET INVOLVED WITH THE FARM WORKERS PROGRAM. COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED, NOTING THAT WE HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST IN TRYING TO WORK WITH THESE GROUPS AND HAVE FOUND IT DEFINITELY UNSATISFACTORY. THEY ARE NOT COUNTY EMPLOYEES AND THEY DON'T GO BY OUR RULES AND REGULATIONS. SHE FELT THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE AND BELIEVED IT IS UP TO THESE ORGANIZATIONS TO FIND THEM AND DO IT THEIR WAY. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED WHY IT IS MR. REGAN'S OBLIGATION TO BRING THESE MATTERS TO THE BOARD. HE FELT THE AGENCIES SHOULD MAKE THESE REQUESTS THEMSELVES AND MR. REGAN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BEAR THE BRUNT OF THE BOARDS DECISIONS. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON STATED THAT THE REQUEST WAS MADE THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATOR`S OFFICE, AND THEY GOT MR. REGAN INVOLVED. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LOY, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY DENIED THE REQUEST OF THE FLORIDA FARM WORKERS COUNCIL FOR COUNTY ASSISTANCE IN REMOVING DEBRIS AND DECLINED TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM. —96— ® r
