SUBJECT: Request Health Services Director to Develop a Community Bucket
Brigade and an Ombudsman Position to Handle Complaints Regarding
Impacts of Industrial Accidents
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S).i BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Request the Health Services Director to work with community organizations to develop:
1) A Bucket Brigade for air monitoring around refineries.
2) An ombudsman position for handling complaints regarding impacts of industrial
accidents.
BACKGROUND:
Current methods of handling air monitoring are left up to industry, and often these
samples are taken too late. The establishment of a bucket brigade would give the
community more conclusive results on any releases.
County agencies are currently seen as being too close to industry. The development of
the ombudsman position will provide an independent voice the community can deem
credible.
