The city has appointed a full-time staff member to concentrate on enforcing ocean water quality ordinances and educate the public about the regulations.
Michael Phillips, a community service officer in the Fire Department for four years, will serve as an environmental specialist in the Municipal Services Department, a newly created position.

“He’ll also get out and let the public know they’re not supposed to be doing those kinds of things,” said Terry Brant, director of municipal services.
