Mayor Mercer stated he felt container legislation should be at either the County or State level to be effective. Councilmember Butler stated he felt container deposit control would be com- pletely ineffective on a County basis and that it should be State-wide. Mr. Frank Brandes, Jr., speaking on behalf of his personal business, stated that for this legislation to be effective he felt it should be implemented on a State-wide basis. He stated he was also concerned about the handling of con- tainers and felt it would be physically impossible to do this by businesses such as liquor stores. He requested Council to get specific information from the State as to how this would be implemented. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Butler, and seconded by Councilmember Wood, that the City Council take a position in support that any coatainer deposit legislation be done at the State level only and that the legislation give consideration to the difficulty of implementing the legisla- tion by the store owners.
