IN HAEC VERBA: St. Johns County Must Adopt An Environmental Justice Policy; Mosquito-breeding County Property is a Public Nuisance

Dear Chairman Sanchez, Vice Chairman Bryan and Commissioners:
1. Will you please adopt an Environmental Justice (EJ) Policy for St. Johns County?
2. Prompt adoption of such a policy -- and vigorous and rigorous enforcement against the Road and Bridge Department -- might obviate the need for me to file an EJ complaint against SJC over the refusal to clean out the ditches for mosquito control purposes. Please let me hear from you individually.
3. As of 4:44 PM, no one has provided any legal citations -- to federal, state, county or other law -- supporting, directly or indirectly, Road and Bridge Department mgr. JOSEPH STEPHENSON's refusal to clean out the County-owned ditches and canals containing disease-causing mosquitoes.
4. No such citations apparently ever existed.
5. You should closely question STEPHENSON about his misleading you and ask whether SJC will do its part in the effort to prevent mosquito-borne diseases in SJC..
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ed Slavin
Clean Up City of St. Augustine, Florida
