WHEREAS, certain regulations of the State of Texas and of the federal govern-
ment prescribe methods to be used in the disposition of solid waste and other
refuse and, therefore, there presently exists a public necessity for municipalities
to conform with such regulations and restrictions; and
WHEREAS, the disposition of solid waste and other refuse in open areas,
burning dumpgrounds, improperly covered pits, and by similar methods, creates a
clear and present danger in the form of air and water pollution and is a hazard
to the health and general welfare of the citizens of Tarrant County, Texas, and of
the general area; and,
WHEREAS, properly operated methods of waste disposal are deemed to be neces-
sary in meeting the regulations imposed by the State and Federal governments; and,
WHEREAS, grants -in -aid are available to the governing body of Tarrant County
through the Federal Solid Waste Agency and, such a grant will fund the necessary
study of the problems that are becoming evident throughout Tarrant County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF EULESS, TEXAS,
THAT the Tarrant County Commissioners' Court should employ qualified con-
sulting engineers to prepare an application for a grant and to conduct a detailed
study directed toward solutions to the immediate county -wide solid waste disposal
problems.
2.
THAT the City of Euless feels that immediate action by the County Commis-
sioners' Court is absolutely necessary toward the resolving of the solid waste
problems regardless of the outcome of any grants -in -aid, and that immediate steps
should be taken toward the establishment of land fill areas situated throughout
the County and operated by the County.
PASSED AND ADOPTED on this the twenty -third day of March, A. D. 1971.
