of a bottle/can bill, he would prefer to have more <br />information before taking any formal action. <br />Commissioner Lyons noted that this matter has been on <br />the agenda twice and not much interest generated either <br />time. The program has been successful in other states and <br />has not created the economic problems predicted by the <br />opposition, but he has reached the point that if the people <br />want it, they will have to ask for it. <br />Commissioner Wodtke wanted to do anything he could to <br />help keep the bottles and cans off the streets and highways, <br />but did not like the way the proposed legislation reads. <br />Chairman Scurlock repeated his feelings that littering <br />should be stopped, but felt this bill is too encompassing. <br />Commissioner Bird described how the bill might affect <br />the dealers who would have the responsibility of returning <br />the deposits and handling the empty cans and bottles for <br />return to the distributor. He believed that these costs <br />would certainly be passed on to the consumer. He suggested <br />that we generate some input on the matter from both sides of <br />the fence and schedule a meeting in the future to debate the <br />issue. <br />Commissioner Lyons withdrew his Motion. He requested <br />that the Audubon Society prepare an ordinance that might be <br />supportable by the County and return to the Board with their <br />arguments when this issue came up for debate. He thanked <br />Mr. Fernald for coming today. <br />PUBLIC HEARING - REQUEST BY D.V. KNIGHT, JR.
