To Fairhope Mayor and City Council Dear Sirs: The League of Women Voters, for more than twenty five years a national leader in conservation programs, is deeply concerned with the environmental and economic effects of solid waste disposal in both the city and county. Several of our local members participate in the workshops and advisory pro- grams of the South Alabama Regional Council's implementation of the 208 program; The eoonomic data developed there regarding mounting cost of waste disposal as well as those made public in County Commission sessions are highly disturbing. As you must know, Section 208 of the Federal Water Law, implementation of which you approved, contains some explicit requirements. Title II Section 201(e) reads "The Administrator shall encourage waste treatment management which results in integrating sewage treatment and recycling with facilities to treat, dispose of or utilize other industrial and municipal wastes, including, but not limited to, solid wastes and waste heat and thermal discharges" etc. Again, in Section 203(VI)- "The Administrator shall not approve any grant for any treatment works...unless he shall first have determined that the applicant (A) has adopted or will adopt a system of charges to assure that each recipient of a wast treatment service ...will pay its proportionalte share of any treatemnt service provided by the applicant,(B)has made provision for the payment to the applicant by the industrial users of the treatment works...,(C)has legal in- stitutional, managarial and financial capability to insure adequate constrution, operatian and maintenance of treatment works, etc. Rising costs of all waste disposal in our cities and town should be ample warning that we are already tardy in efforts to reduce all waste at the source and to recycle necessary wastes. We urge, therefore, that you immediately devise and implement procedures both to fulfill these provisions and to educate the p ublic of the need for such programs. We appreciate the efforts in paper collection and urge that you initiate public meetings, workshops and media programs to implement a waste reduction - recycling effort. Many Eastern Shore citizens already are hauling wastes to Mobile recylers- a clostly effort to say the least. Your determination to encourage every citizen in this worthwhile program could do far more than all promotion efforts to make our Eastern Shore the unique and habitable community we all envision. Sincerely, Pat Laraway, Pres. Baldwin County League of Women Voters + r� P t � e Councilman Jack A. Stipes moved, sceonded by Councilman Billy Don Wiggins, to discuss the Daphne gas situation. Motion carried. Councilman Henry G. Bishop stated that he felt Mayor Nix and Councilman'Box should meet with the proper representative from Daphne to discuss the contract on the new gas. Mayor Nix said that he had talked to Mayor Guarisco about the nec,T gas, and that he and Mr. Box were going to meet with the Daphne Utilities Board as soon as possible. There being no further business, on a motion duly made, second and carried, the meeting adjourned. APPROVE_ , TA A) � r S x C _ "2 •p r -- F F� Councilman Jack A.

Stipes reported on the drainage problem on Sally Maloney's property. Councilman Stipes stated that he had met with the engineer and looked over the drainage situation. Mr. Stipes said that the engineer said to remove the existing pipe and timber and replace 100 feet of 18" pipe and three junction boxes with a 1,000 feet of fill material with the City doing the work it would cost approx- imately $2,100.00. Councilman Stipes said that it was a problem since it was erroding Mrs. Maloney's property. Mrs. Maloney was present at the meeting along with her Attorney Mr. M.E. Wynne. Mr. Wynne submitted a letter to the Mayor and Council from Mr. Claude Arnold, Engineer, which shall become a part of these minutes. Mr. Wynne said that he would like a date as to when the City will correct the errosion problem it order to avoid a law suit, and requested an approximate date to go on the record. The Mayor and Council discussed the financing of the project P-layor Nix told Mrs. Maloney and Mr. Wynne that the pipe was lowered on her property at Mrs. Maloney's request. The Council decided to let the City Attorney John Duck, to research the situation and report back at the June 13th, 1977 meeting of the City Council. F Councilman Jack A. Stipes said that the timber has fallen away on Nichols Street and that once it falls in it will start erroding. M.r Stipes said that the catch basin was falling in and also the tin is falling in. Mr. Stipes said that he would get with City Superintendent Jack Kirk and look into the situation and see if something can be done to correct it. Councilman Stipes recommended to members of the Council that the back of the City Garage be enclosed, with all of the City's supplies put in the back with a sliding freight door -and an area that can be used for checking out tools and materials. Mr. Stipes said that it would cost approximately $ 1,200.00. Councilman Wiggins asked if the tops could be put on the poles before this project is started, since this project has first priority. Councilman Stipes asked that the parking on Bayview be held over since he was' getting various organizations to pay, for the project. Several property owners in the Bayview area were present at the meeting and stated that they objected to a parking facility in that area. No action was taken at this time. The application of Mr. Willard for a non -liquor disco was brought up before the Mayor,and Council. Councilman Sam E. Box moved, seconded by Councilman Jack A. Stipes that Mr. Willar&'s>application be denied due to the location and the parking prob"lem's that would arise.
