To: Volusia County Council
Choose a Sustainable Volusia
We the undersigned, petition the Volusia County Council to officially recognize the five elected seats of Supervisors of the county's Soil & Water Conservation District as constituting the function and purpose of a county wide Sustainability Council. Furthermore, we request the County Council to maintain adequate ongoing funding for the SWCD so that it may serve the residents of Volusia County as their advisers on issues concerning the long term public health, safety, and welfare of our residents and all other aspects of Sustainability as mandated by F.S. Chapter 582.
Why is this important?
For far too long wealthy land owners in Florida have inhibited the ability of Soil & Water Conservation Districts to properly advise residents on the long term effects of current laws and urban development practices. Our goal is to re-enable SWC Districts all across the state thereby protecting the future of all Floridians.
