Dear Mr. Carmichael :
I am enclosing Pearland City Council Resolution No. R83-38, endorsing the
candidacy of Mrs. Fran Coppinger for a position on the Municipal Solid Waste
Management and Resource Recovery Advisory Council.
Mrs. Coppinger is an active and dedicated community leader, and for the
past several years she has been an advocate of sound solid waste management
and waste resource recovery. She has made in-depth studies of these areas and
is a recognized leader of solid waste resource recovery in Pearland, Brazoria
County, and in the Gulf Coast area.
Mrs. Coppinger has served with distinction as President of the Keep Brazoria
County Beautiful Association, and under her capable, leadership a Brazoria County
city won the Governor's Achievement Award for the fifth consecutive year. She
organized "Clean- Pearland" to address the beautification and resource recovery
needs of Pearland, and was instrumental in the establishment of Clean Community
organizations in seven other Brazoria County cities--the largest number of such
cities in any one County in the State.
Mrs. Coppinger is serving her second term as the only President of "Clean
Pearland". She was recently notified by Keep America Beautiful that "Clean
Pearland" had won one of only five National awards for 1983, based on outstand-
ing program activities and solid waste resource recovery achievements.
