COUNTYWIDE : Councilwoman Will Head Waste Panel
Joanne Coontz, a city councilwoman in Orange, was recently selected to head the Orange County Waste Management Commission through the remainder of 1993.
The 17-member commission advises the Board of Supervisors about such waste management issues as recycling, landfill use and methods for disposing of hazardous wastes.
Coontz, who has been a member of the Orange County Waste Management Commission since 1987, said that she plans to lobby the state government to provide adequate funding to the county and its local municipalities for such underfunded state mandates as recycling and waste disposal.
