BOOK 95 Fmu.106 <br />DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - "REALITY <br />CHECK WORKSHOP' <br />Chairman Macht reviewed a letter dated May 11, 1995: <br />i� Department of <br />FLOR K° � • � <br />Environmental Protection <br />Marjory Stoneman Douglas Building <br />Lawton Chiles 3900.Commonwealth Boulevard Virginia 8. Wetherell <br />Governor Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000 Secretary <br />May 11, 1995 <br />Dear County Commissioner: <br />Governor Chiles has made rule reduction and a common <br />sense approach to government a top priority for his <br />administration. As.a part of the Department of <br />Environmental Protection's efforts in this initiative, we <br />are conducting workshops statewide seeking citizen input and <br />suggestions for helping us reach this goal. <br />We are sending our select exempt and senior management <br />personnel into each county between May 22 and May 31 to <br />conduct what we are calling "Reality Check Workshops". We <br />are seeking comments on any problems or frustrations <br />citizens have had in dealing with the Department, rules or <br />policies they believe could be improved or simplified and <br />any advice they might have to bring more common sense into <br />implementation of our regulatory programs. I see this as an <br />excellent opportunity for all of our top managers to <br />understand better the concerns and questions the public has <br />about our agency so that we can improve our services and, I <br />hope, increase citizen confidence and support for <br />environmental protection efforts. <br />Enclosed is a copy of the schedule and locations for <br />the workshops. Should you be interested in attending any of <br />the workshops in your county, you are more -than welcome. If <br />you need any additional information, please call Judy Brooks <br />at (904) 488-7131. <br />Sincerely, <br />Virginia B. Wetherell <br />Secretary <br />Chairman Macht encouraged members of the media who were <br />present to get the word out. The Indian River County Workshop will <br />be held May 30, 1995, at 7:00 p.m., in the County Administration <br />Building. <br />No action taken. <br />80 <br />May 16, 1995 <br />
