September 18, 1979 <br /> <br />The Honorable Troy R. Cook <br />Chairnan <br />Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br />Route 5, Old Salisbury Road <br />Concord, North Carolina 2802S <br /> <br />Dear Chairman Cook: <br /> <br /> ~e want to ask for your help and cooperation on a pilot <br />program to lie conducted during the week of October 15 - <br />October 20 designed to increase public awareness and <br />participation in our effort to "Clean ~p Litter" across <br />North Carolina. <br /> <br /> The Governor has asked that we initiate a pilot pro,ram <br />to conduct a litter clean up campaign in partnership with <br />city and county government and other state agencies, together <br />with various civic clubs and interested citizens. If <br />successful, this would become an annual event. ~e will <br />encourage tile use of all our available manpower including <br />special CETA employees and we will furnish litter bags~ <br />signing and support equipment. We also propose to utilize <br />all inmate labor available through the Department of <br />Correction. <br /> <br /> Today, litter is costing our taxpayers in excess of $1 <br />million annually through our Department alone. ~e feel it <br />will take the combined effort of volunteer organizations and <br />all levels of government to effectively reduce litter on our <br />highways. Several counties have already established <br />committees on a continuing basis that have proven successful <br />in controlling litter. Together, we can expand this effort <br />throughout each county to make North Carolina a clean and <br />beautiful place to live, work and visit. <br /> <br /> <br />
