Honorable Chairman Amunds and Board of County Commissioners:
As Chairman of the Okaloosa County Environmental Council (OCEC), I wish to apply for the Restore Act
Citizens Committee as the representative of the environmental community. The OCEC was founded by
the Okaloosa County Board of Commissioners in 1987 as a volunteer citizen organization dedicated to
the preservation of our natural environment. Membership is open to all Okaloosa County citizen
volunteers. Our activities include biannual beach cleanups; Adopt-a-County-Road and Adopt-a-Dune
anti-litter programs; Okaloosa Aqualab water testing of 21 sites in Choctawhatchee Bay in partnership
with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and EPA, and numerous environmental
education projects.
We are an active agency funded by the County through the Tourist Development Department. We have
established a network of organizations and volunteers that are ready to provide manpower and
feedback in support of Restore Act funding and activities in Okaloosa County. We currently meet on a
monthly basis, providing visibility plus accountability. OCEC is the logical choice to represent
environmental interests with regard to the Restore Act in our community.
See our Okaloosa Environmental Council website on Facebook and
at http: / /www.co.okaloosa.fl.us/environmental.html Contact me if any additional information is
needed.
