Refer this matter to the 1988 Internal Operations Committee. BACKGROUND- On November 3 , 1987, the Board of Supervisors approved our last report on the subject of a solid waste public education program and authorized our Committee to meet with all involved agencies on November' 9 . At the November 9 meeting of our Committee we discussed the proposed public education program and the groups at which it should be directed. We concluded very quickly that we needed to define first what the goals and objectives of such a public education program are. This .has to be done before we can solicit Requests for Proposals from individuals interested in serving' as consultants to run the program. We have, therefore, recommended the formation of an Ad Hoc Task Force to define these goals and objectives. The attached draft goals and objectives are continuing to be refined by the Ad Hoc Committee. They will be returned to the 1988 Internal Operations Committee early next spring, at which time it probably would be well to take them to the Mayors ' Conference for their endorsement.
