Re: Legal Responsibility of the Orange County
Board of Commissioners in Conjunction With
The Flag Burning Incident That Occurred in
Chapel Hill on January Z8, 1979
Dear Commissioners:
I have reviewed all of the available facts
concerning the referenced incident for the purpose of assessing
your legal. responsibility. Tt is my opinion that respon-
sibility for investigation and prosecution, if warranted,
of persons involved in this incident lies with the District
Attarney of our Judical District. North Carolina General
Statute ~7A-61 prescribes that the District Attorney shall
prosecute in the name of the State all criminal actions
requiring prosecution and advise the officers of justice in
his district. The District Attarney is an elected official,
as you know, and is the judicial officer with responsibility
to protect the State's interest in all criminal matters.
Enclosed is a copy of a letter dated February 7,
1979 from Mr. Wade Barber, Jr., our District Attorney and
directed to NIx. Stuart Barbour. Mr. Stuart Barbour requested
that Mr. Wade Barber look into the incident and take whatever
action appropriate. For the reasons stated above I think the
only appropriate action by the County Commissioners would be
to make available to those concerned the letter from the

Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278
Dear Mr. Barbour:
I appreciate your bringing to my attention the flag-burnins;
by the demonstrators on the UNC campus,
North Carolina General Statutes 14-381 clearly seek:, to m:Tke
it a misdemeanor Co burn a United States flag. As you r;lay
recall from the memorandum you f;ave me, ~ frer}uenr, dcfenGe
to charges of violation of such statute, is that the defen-
dant's first, amendment r.i~;hts are overriding.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution, she
most important provisions of our Bill of Ri~,hts, provides i.rr
part;
"CONGRESS SHALL MAK); ND LAW...,ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM
DF SPEECH..."
Until 1974 the Supreme Court settled most flag desecration
cases by finding the statutes too vague. However, in thz
1974 case of Spence v. Washington, 418 US 405, the Unites
States Supreme Court seemed to resolve the issue as one of
symbolic speech. In that case, the defendant had been con-
victed under a Washington desecration stltute for publicly
displaying an American flag with symhols taped across the
flag. The Defendant was protesting the United States' in-
vasion of Cambodia. The Supreme Caurt overturned tt~e defen-
dant's conviction holding that his desecration of the fla};
constituted political, symbolic speech, and was therefore
protected by the First Amendment. The interest of the State
to vrotect the flag is aver-ridden by First Amendment Rights
when the flag is used as "Symbolic Speech" in political ex-
preGSion.

Mr. Stewart Barbour
Febr~:ary 7 , 1979
Fram the information you provided me regarding the deman-
straCxon on the 1T1VC campus, it aopears.that the flag was
burned in the context o£ political. protest. Therefore, I
am of. L-he opinion that the burning of the flag is protected
"symbolic speech" within the demonstrator's First Amendment
rights.
As Senator Sam Ervin has said, "The First Amendment is to
protect those we consider foals."
Should you have further comments or suggestions, please let
me know. With best zegards, I am
Sincerely,

AGENpA ITEM 7 B
ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
FAMILY PLANNING NARRATIVE
FOR
FISCAL 1930
I. Program Description -
A. Estimate of Need' .. -
- Orange Counties' population as of July 1, 1977, was estimated to
. be 68,776. Of this total 19,952 were estimated to'be females in the ' '' - _.
child bearing age group 14 - 44: of 'this grouping 3,351 are estimated
to. be nonwhite and 18,038 to be white. The 1875 estimated number of
~- - women of~this grouping having household incomes less than 150 of the
poverty level was 2,078. It is recognized that this poverty level
index number is a significantly unreliable number far 1979; secondly,
we are prohibited f2°om restricting our family planning services to
the poor. Realistically, our services will not be requested by the •
majority of those in need nor will we be Handed to serve the entixe
need.
In estimating our need we use the need total, the poverty index,
_ the population estimate of those above poverty and below the econa~nie
self-sufficiency level, adjust for the university student population,
and adjust for the age factors (e.g., even though a teen may have
- parents who can afford private services, the teen may not get such
service unless provided free). By conservatively considering these
factors we estimate that 2,700 parsons need our clinical services.
The health educational services of this program could benefit the
majority of the total need population. Accordingly, we orient family
planning health education towards the total male and female parentir~
population;. concerted effort and the majority of educator staff time
is directed towards the teen population.
H. Percent of Need Currentl Met
The total number of active patients in our F.P. program for FY '78
was 1,432, This figure represents a 20~ increase over the number of
active patients for FY '77. Our Percentage of clients age 17 and younger
increased from 10.2$ in FX '77 to 15.2 in FY '78. The majority of our
patients remain in the 20 - 29 age bracket. We estimate that we will
close out FY '79 (ending June 30, 1979) with 1678 active patients which.
is a 15% increase over last year. ~e continuation rate has increased '
from 63.5 in FY '76 to 76.34 ~ during calendar year 1978• Our client
population is equally divided between white and non-white. The income
level of nearly 33~ of our patients was less than $6,500, for 50~ of
' our patients the income was unknown. 5even• Percent of our F.P. clients
had income.levels greater than $12,500.
A route estimate is that we are presently clinically serving 62~ of
... those needing our services and in FY '80 we are projecting an increase
to 71 ~.

E:
C. Program Structure
1. Types of clinics, Schedules & Location
'Two clinic days with extended hours from S:DD - 5:30 are held
each week, one day at the Hillsborough office and ane at the Chapel
Hill office. Any type of F'. P. patient can be seen at any time
during the clinic day with the exception of new enrollees who are
scheduled to came for a special orientation and educational. session.
Special Teen Clinics were held during October, lg7$ through -' .
January 1979 during late afternoon hours (from 3 P.M. -.5 P.M-)-. ,. _
.. Despite publicity and encouragement to attend these special•elinics -
our teenage clients prefer to attend the regular clinic during mid-- -
morning hours: After this experience, the admini'stratiori decided
to ca*nbine the teen and regular clinic and to extend the clinic -
'hours. In this fashion, we hope not 'only to provide teens with a ''
unique, meaningful educational session, but also to provide working
women better access to our clinics by longer operational hours.
The services offered during the F.P_ clinics include 1) concep--
tive education, 2) laboratory studies (e.g. hematocrit, urinalysis
for blood, PH, protein, glucose, and microscopic examination, sero-
logy testing for syphillis & rubella,.pap smear,•culture screening _
for N. gonorrhea, PPD skin test screening for TB or chest x-ray as
indicated, height, weight, blood pressure, sickle cell testing as -
indicated, blood glucose, pregnancy testing if applicable, 3) med--
ical exam by physician to include at a minimum chest (heart and
lurk) thyroid, extremities, breast, abdomen, pelvic (visualization
of cervix, bimanual & recto-vaginal exam) e~rams and other exams as
indicated, ~4) the review of the medical history including gynecolo-
gical, obstetrical, cardiovascular, metabolic, neoplastic, neurolo-
gical and hemopoietic elements, 5) treatment of suspected and proven
venereal disease, other vaginal. infections and uncomplicat~ urinary
tract infections, 6) counselir~ for infertility problems with refer-
rals to patients' choice of source of care, 7) counseling for problem
pregnancy with appropriate referral, 8) referral and counseling for
sterilization procedures, male and female, 9) referral and counseling
for pre-natal care, 10) immunization for rubella, polio, diptheri.a
and tetnus as indicated, 11) referral for medical emergencies~•:and
12) supply of the desired contraceptive. If any test result is ab-
nor;na.l and the patient needs flarther medical evaluation, the F.P.
lead nurse informs the patient by phone call, letter or personal
visit and the patient is given the option of choosing a referral
to an appropriate private physician, returning to us for pertain '
further evaluations or referral to a speciality clinic at a medical
center.
Services are available to anyone with no financial or referral
requirements and without regard to race, color, national origin, -
religion, creed, age, sex, marital status, or parental consent far
these age 12 and over. It is our intention to protect the dignity
of the individual and ensure the privacy and confidentiaLi.ty of
the encounter, to the extent adequate space is provided. Orange
County is presently acting to create adequate space for the Health
Department. The participants are not subjected to coercion to re-
ceive services or to employ any particular method of family planning.
~~'

_-.. Acceptance of family planning services is not a prerequisite to any
other aspect of our other programs.
- The methods of F.P. available at our clinic include the oral, con-
traceptives (Norinyl 1+50, Norinyl 1-F-~30, Brevicon, A~nulen, Ovulen,
and Norinyl 2 mgm., others by prescription), IUD (Lippes Loop), the
diaphragm, contraceptive cream, jelly or foam, and the condom. The
rhythm method using the basal temperature or mucos secretions is~alsa -• .-•
taught upon request.
- 3. Su ortive Services - - .
_- - Current supportive services of the family planning program include
_' activities in the areas of outreach, health education and an agreement - •
•- ._.-. with the Dept. of Social Services for a Social Worker to certify clients •
for Title XIX/3OC.
- Outreach efforts are supplied by two Family Planning Personal Care
_ .and Family Aides, one housed in Chapel Hi11 and one in Hillsborough.
Both PCFA's assist in clinical activities by setting up for clinics,
•~ assisting the physician in the examining room, and following-up on
abnormal pap smears, and positive GC tests. Additionally, the PCFA's
home visit all new family planning patients to ensure they Hilly under-
` stand how to properly use their selected method of contraception, as
well as provide an opportunity for such patients to ask questions and
voice concerns regarding f`dmily planning.
A Social Tlorker supplied by the Department of Social Services
attends each family planning clinic to certify eligible patients for
Title XIX and XX. She has also been instrumental in gaining patients'
interest in the patient education classes and has been supportive of
the Family Planning Advisory Council. '
Health Education services are currently supported by one full-time
health educator and two half-time health educators. The two half time
health educators were employed with program expansion monies depart-
mentally earmarked for a teen program. (See Teen Services following).
New services initiated during the first two quarters of FY '78-'79
include providing patient education classes in conjunction with the
family planning-:elinies,.4the initial development of community based
teen health discussion groups, and laying the ground work for a Teen
Health Council (see Teen Services following).
Family planning health education activities have also been provided
within the public schools. Health education staff provided assistance
in the development and implementation of a Family Life Education cur-
rieulum at the county high school. This curriculum was designed as a
pilot project and has been approved by the Orange County 'Board of Edu-
cation. Additionally, technical assistance and support have been pro-
__ vided to teachers and guidance counselors in the middle, junior, and
senior high schools. School olubs,•such as the FHA, have also been
receptive to staff educational efforts.
4. Staffing pattern
The clinic is operated at each offYce with the assistance of a
registered laboratory technician, 2 registered nurses, a health aide, ,
a physician, 1 health educator, 2 clerks, one social worker and other
staff as needed. Ms. Anna 'r]hite is the P.H.N. who is in charge of
coordinating the program within the county.

- in ~ 1977 , as Gompax.ed . to. 53 . births in 197 6. During 1977., Orange County- "' - _-
.- .
tee~ 17 and under had an estimated 144 abortions. -,
. - The emphasis of the Teen Health Program has been twofold; to pro- -_. ,_ _
vide teens with educational experiences in which they can aequi.re the
necessary knowledge needed for responsible decision making regarding
sexuality, and to provide comprehensive clinical, services to teenagers
desiring birth control. Two half-time Health Educator I's were employed
in October tp help meet the broad educational objectives of the program.
_ OriR}'nally the department had hoped to provide clinical. services for ,
teens at a time and in a situation convenient and comfortable for them.
A teen health clinic was initiated on a once-a-month basis, from 3:30 to
6:00 P.M., both in Chapel Hill and Hillsborou~i. Several. articles appeared
in local newspapers discussing teenage childbearing to create con~ua~nity
awareness of the problem and publicize the clinics. A leaflet.describ}ng th
' ~ clinic was developed and distributed among the public schools and various
ca'rununity agencies. A fla11 range of clinical services were pravided,.in-
cluding a family planning orientation educational. session geared for new
patients. After being in operation for approximately 3z months, evaluation
of clinical operations revealed that teens preferred to attend the regular
family planning clinics, held at earlier hours. In light of this evalua-
tion, the department decided to combine the regular family plannir~ clinic
with teen clinic. To more adequately meet the needs of area teens, clinic
day far family planning is being changed '~ creded to,meetlbotht he needs
only clinic day. Clinic hours are being expan
of teens and the needs of working persons. Patient education Glasses are
being offered twice a day during clinic hou.-s for new patients and other
interested persons by the health educators.
The community education component of the Teen Program has become more
focused and directed with the aid of the two half-time health educators.
Initial efforts included meeting with existing youth groups and assessing
their needs and interests in regards to sexuality and family life education.
Recreation department teen groups, youth councils, and neighborhood groups
have already proved receptive to educational efforts.
A standing committee comprised of various community members has been
formed to help in the establishment of a teen health council(s). Members
of this committee include a public health nurse, health educators, a
social worker, a school psychologist and a UNC faculty member.
C.'
Departmental efforts to reduce the unplanned, unwanted teenage preb-
nancy rates in the county have become more focused and planned during
the past six months. Initial groundwork has been laid for modest inter-
vention. The nucleus for continued intervention in HX '79-'80 shall be
a health education, positive prevention approach. The main thrust of
the program will be. to reach teenagers in the community and provide
them with accurate information, as well as to provide the support and
skills neoPSSary to make responsible sexual decisions. 7n order to accom-
plish these objectives and make a visable impact, it will be necessary -
to provide i~ar more health education time.. Currently, the program sup __
ports forty hours a week of health education time. At least doubling
this time will allow far..more.varied activities.and more continuity of. - __.-.
efforts. It has been repeatedly proven that one-shot programs do not
•' produce visable behavior differences. Thus, creating a department's .._
goal for teen services in FY '80.
Detailed teen objectives are given in part II1, B. following.
B. Male Involvement
To date, program activities have focused very little on male involve-
went. Participants attending patient education classes are encouraged
to bring their partners to the clinic and informed that males are welcome
in the classes ~ *~bers of the Family Planning Advisory Gouneil have
also been encouraged to bring their partners and other male friends that
may be interested in supporting and advising the program. A male student
was recruited to serve on the Health Education Committee at Orange High
which was responsible for the.develapment of.the Family Life Education
- Curriculum. Additionally, male students were included in the questionaire
developed to assess students health education needs.
C. Famil Plannin Advisor Council
The Orange County Family lanning Advisory Council has met three times
during the first half of FY '79-'80. The council is still in the process
of development. Membership tends to fluctuate from ane meeting to the
next, which makes continuity and development of plans difficult. At pre-
sent, the council can best be described as exploring its- perimeters.
Council members have expressed a wide variety. of interests to address.
Such interests include becoming familiar with clinic services, what's
being done in the schools in the area of family life education, how to
get more teenagers involved in the program, and rape crisis (the last
meeting focused on this subject in depth).
Objectives far the family planning advisory council for F'Y '79 --'80
appear under health education objectives.
D. Patient Education
tient education sessions held in conjunction with the clinic were
first initiated with the special teen focus in October. Classes are
orientational in nature and geared towards new patients. Information
covered in the classes includes: defining family pllnning; review of
the male and female reproductive organs, the menstrual cycle, how con-
- ception occurs, contraception (all the methods of b.c. including natural
family planning); and clinic procedures and policies.
At the onset, classes held with the teen clinic were scheduled ftrom
3:u5 to 1+:30 p.m., once a month at each site. After teen clinic was
r
6
incorporated into the regular F.P. clinic, classes were rescheduled.
Presently in Hillsborough, patient education classes occur once a week
on clinic day fram 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. - S:DO p.m.
In Chapel Hill, classes occur once a week on clinic day from 9:30 a.m.
to 10:3D a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Although classes are mandated
for new patients, other interested persons have been encouraged and
5.nvited to attend. During FX '79 - '80 the department is committed to
"'- continue providing such classes. The department plans to sponsor other
-_'':'-: _ "' family plannir~ related classes within the clinical setting dealing with . _. _-_

E. Internal' Qualit Assurai7ce' '
At the end of each clinic day, the F.P. lead nurse, Anna White, re-
_ views the charts to assure that all procedures which were performed are
-`~ recorded pro~Yerly. She also notes which patients need home visits or __
= - return visits to the clinic. The F:P. clerks at-each clini.a also reviews.
the charts while processing the third party charges. The nursing super-
.visor and management support supervisor, exercise quality.eontrol measures
during and after each clinic. In FY '79, our F.P. Physician and nursing
supervisor pulled records for spot checks. During FY '$0, we shall for-
malize aquality assurance checking procedure which shall be accomplished
by a team consisting of our F.P. Physician, F.P. Lead Nurse, and the
departmental Nursing Supervisor and Management Support Supervisor. The
team goal will be to randomly pull and check 5~ of the patient records
per quarter.
F. Infertilit Services
atients who are having difficulty conceiving are counseled about the
normal physiology of ovulation and fertilization. The procedures involved
in a infertility work-up are explained and the patients are referred to
the physician of their choice for further care.
We are fortunate to'have a leading infertility clinic at Memorial
Hospital in Chapel Hill headed by Dr. Jaroslaw Hulks who is an established
authority in this subject.-

REPORT ON THE ORANGE COUNTY GREEN BOX PROGRAPI
TO THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH
By
Jerry Robinson, Health Director
February 8, 1979
At the January 11, 1979, Soard of Health meeting the staff was asked
to study the green box program and make recommendations for its improvement.
This report results .from inspections and knowledge of our sanitarians and -
information obtained from interviewing informed persons. Among those
interviewed were several county employees who directly or indirectly work in
the program ,citizens, store owners, Terry F. Dover, Eastern Program Supervisor,
Solid baste rlanagement Program, N, C. Division of Health Services, Sam Gattis,
Orange County Manager, Fonrose Gore and Ebert•Pierce of the Agricultural
Extension Service.
The volume of i~tformatian elicited was•such that this report was written
in a sty):e to achieve brievity. It is hoped that this report will. serve to aid
problem comprenhension and solution. The optiori5 contained herein represent
an attempt, however inadequate, to synthesize multiple but compatible view-
points. The recommendations are not new ideas; they reflect the simple act
of selecting good features of successful programs presently operating in
North Carolina and repeating advice given, xn preparing this report it was
delightful and gratifying to talk to many well inforn-ed persons with sub-
stancial suggestions. The lack of graciousness in the wording of the report
is probably a result, of the influence of the community emotional state
surrounding the issue.
PROGRAM $ACKGROUND
The green box program was iniated over four years ago in response to a
massive litter problem in the county. Boxes are placed to serve persons
outside incorporated municipalities. The program presently consists of two
front loading trucks, 250 4 cubic yard capacity boxes, one dump truck and
a total of seven employees. Each compacting truck is manned by two employees.
The program operates five and one-half days per week. One day of each week
one truck remains in the garage fvr servicing; therefore, employees work five
days per week but do not necessarily have two consecutive days off.
During the last six months the trucks have hauled an average of close
to 54.,500 lbs. of trash per work day to the landfi~l. the table below gives
comparative data.

Johnnie Horner, Orange County Tax Collector, is attributed with the success
ful implementation of the program and its initial management, despite having
another job to do for the county. Sam Cattis, County rlanager, has provided
continuity to the program and on a trouble-shooting basis has acted as pro-
gram management.
Citizens generally see this as an invaluable service and for some it -
represents to them their most important county service. The success of the
green box program thus far has been heavily dependent on many store owners
and property owners who have allowed these boxes on their property, suffered
from box misuse and litter, been inconvenienced and largely unappreciated far
their role. People were perceived as feeling that the program, while far - -
from perfect, has until xecently been very successful and has improved the
environment greatly.
Not having a solid waste prograa would result in solid waste pollution of
Orange County on an unprecedented scale with an increase in the rodent
population, flies, soil and water contamination and a deterioration of the
quality of life of rural Orange County.
The Orange County Health Department has been concerned about what its
sanitarians termed a deterioration in the program during the past year. During
the recent holidays the braces were overloaded and insufficiently emptied..
Considerable negative public reaction resulted from this experience.
As ects. of the Problem
A. The program has never received sufficient management attention as the county
has not allocated necessary personnel resources..-
B. The County decided at the outset to serve urban fringe areas, since private
service was inadequate and at times~in some such areas)nonexistant. This
created a guaranteed failure for that portion of the program. Studies of
small green box programs indicate they will fail when the population
density rises to -more than 40 persons per square mile. The accepted base
of trash collection prediction is that each person generates 2; pounds
of trash per day. The volume of small boxes needed makes location of enough
- _ -•=good sites and their management a formidable task in the urban fringe.
C. Citizens have not been sufficiently educated on the proper use of the
boxes, the intent of-the program and their responsibilities to insure
program success.
D. Persons furnishing sites have received insufficient management aid.
E.
Sites are not planned and modified to handle trash. Provisions are not made
to prevent the spread of litter. Sites presently result in an increase
in the rat population, flies, odor and provide wild dog and other animal
forage. Aesthetic factors which influence. citizen pride and behavior
are not incorporated. The boxes are insufficiently cleaned, painted and
repaired. Hnvironment impact is not controlled. Aiany sites are such
that citizens are subjected to physical danger from traffic while attempting
to use the box. tlany sites are such that one must walk in vastly undesir-
able conditions to get to the box. Often boxes are placed out of sight,
which leads to misuse and abuse.

F. The county has not passed'an enabling ordinance for this program. Secondly,
the county's regulations do not address scavenging in the boxes. This
has become increasingly frequent in the last year. Enforcement of all
phases of the program is legislatively vague. .
G. The county decided not to serve trailer parks with the program. The state
considers trailer parks as commercial establishments and requires them to
furnish trash removal. Many trailer parks have either constant or inter-
mittent trash removal problems. Tenants either use the green boxes or _
start illegal dumps. The health department regularity receives coc~plaints •
about this.
H. Boxes near the nurham County.or Alamance County lines axe fegularly used
by out-of-county residents. "'
X. Small private trash haulers often use the boxes to save the expense of
driving to the landfill and the dumping fee.
3. The growth pattern of the county population is not being used in green •
box program planning.
Recommendations
A. Allocate sufficient resources so the program can have the services of a .-
manager, experienced in this area, full-time for the next six months and
half time after that. Successful programs of this size around the state
have the common characteristic of this much management time, at a minimum.
B. Restrict the 4 cubic yard green box program to the low population density
areas of the county. 5ma11 boxes should not be placed closer than 2
miles from an urban fringe area. This is in accord with research and state
recommendations. The ama11 box sites should be well prepared_ Access, -
safety, environmental impact, odor, rodents, flies and littering must be
.controlled. The boxes should be cleaned, disinfected, repaired and
painted regularly. The county should train and assist persons who allow
boxes on their property and volunteer to watch them. Plany such persons
have justifiably developed hostility and skepticism towards this program
and the county's capacity to run it. Considerabte effort will be required
to live dorm these feelings. It is unreasonable for the county to expect,
for instance, the convenience store owner to spend money to provide a ~ _ _
proper site. This is the county's responsibility and should be budgeted -
C. Establish a 40 cubic yard green box program fors the urban fringe•areas. xt•••~' -• -
is essential that the county own or have long term use of these sites, •'
' they be well designed, traffic safety maximized, fenced, lighted, of mini- -_ •
mized negative environmental impact, well managed, and aesthetically
pleasant. Attachment No. 1 is a sample 40 cubic. yard site design. These
sites should be selected by use of traffic and load, factor studies. The
county should purchase and maintain the 40 cubic yard boxes. The county
could contract private firms far the actual haul to the landfill. As
the 4 cubic yard equipment wears out, the county shoutd consider replacing
it only partially and expanding the large box program with purchased equip-
ment. The small box program equipment has a ten year life expectancy
. ~
and up to one-half of that expected use has been exhausted. However; the
small box program has a long term role in the areas of least population
- density. The large box program requires less costly equipment and mainten-
ance. A visit to [dilson County would help establish the value of the GO
cubic yard bar program.
y
p, The county should pass an enabling ordinance. This ordinance should clearly
prohibit scavenging and littering at box sites, use of boxes by cosmnercial
haulers, and~use of boxes by non-residents. Enforcement procedures must be
established and appropriate county authorities must be given clear enforce-
ment mandates. Attachment No. Z is one of the better ordinances of other
counties. While not perfect for our needs, it could be used to farm a. ;
local ordinance. ~_ -
E. Citizens should be allowed to deposit free. of charge in the landfill four
'twenty gallon cans Cor their valumn equivalent) of trash and refuse per week,
In tounties with this provision littering and mis--use of boxes decreases.
F. Hiring procedures and qualifications for program staff should be brought
into line with state standards. Sufficient trained staff should be pro-
vided to back up equipment operators when thgy are i11 or otherwise aff
work. ~ •
G. Citizen groups and other county units such as the Agricultural Extension
Service should be mobilized to teach the public about the program and elicit
public responsibility in maintaining a good program. -
R. Trailer park operators should be allowed the option of contracting with. the
county if they can not prpvide a reliable trash service through private com-
panies.
The program has been of tremendous value to this county during its exist-
ence. The comments and suggestions offered were in no way intended to impune
the efforts of any member of the county staff. In fact, considering the mini-
mal funding of .the program for staff needs, it has operated amazingly well:
. In many instances because staff were willing to carry this as an extra uncompen-
sated load. - -
