forthcoming.

Handicapped-in-Action will endorse the proposal. Endorsement is
pending before the Disabled Veterans' Association. The local
AARP will meet in october, at which time a formal endorsement
will be given, however strong support was expressed by its
president.
Mr. Tribble reported that the League of Women has reserved its

and bureaucracy. Mr. Tribble is continuing to seek contact with
the Council for Jewish Women. He reported that the Hispanic

accompany him on these appointments. He will suggest to the
Board of County commissioners that they submit to their attorney
the following three questions:
1. What are the responsibilities of Collier County,
relative to federal and state laws, as a provider of services and
as an employer?
2. What reasonable mechanisms should the County have in
place to meet those responsibilities?
3. To what extent does the B.A.A.B. proposal address any
of the above?
He reported that as of September 1991, Collier county has
received $36 million in federal funds and $3 million in state
funds. He was not aware if this included federal funding for the
airport.
Herbert Cambridge and Jackie Brown suggested that a copy of the
proposal be distributed to all political candidates running in

to collect endorsements and to submit the proposal to the
Commissioners for their consideration prior to their summer
