Mr. Fa3.rf~.eld stated he thinks the industry has doua very little about it - they have chatitgs~ their soaps but have not cha$g+sd their- dishwashing liquid. Think if comities are going to keep cooperating with them they are going to see no reaso~t to chaa~e this.

Fairfield asked for a loo vote on changing this ordinance: feels 77-101 is a good ordinance and thinks the soap industry should comply. with same. Mr. West comiasted this would be fine if we were penalizing the soap industry but we are not - we are penalizing the people living in the City of North Olmsted because there is no substitute and they do have to go outside of the City to buy it in ordex to gat their dishes, etc., clean: Plus the fact that in restaurants where they cannot get the dishes clean we then have a health haeard: at the aeeting literature was shin where the phosphates have been substantially reduced; it is just that they have not found a dishwasher or industrial soap and detergent that will do the job ae+d preserve our health: believes our health is a lot more important to the residents than trying to get back at some industry. Mrs. Beringer commented she has spoken to several chemical engineers in the pest couple of weeks and was in#ormed that they have been working and have not fou~ld anything to come up with without p~-splutes, and these people are not in the soap industry. Mr. Wiiamosky stated the Coswrttee was concerned with providing the City with legislation but yet wit~ut causing the residents any problems whether it be health or anything else: if there was anything that could be substituted for dis~ashing detergents .that ,ire nca- used that would possess the phosphorus lava,:,-that could be found acc+sptable ~+e would have left the ordinance as is, but under the conditions that the-a~tufacturexa have left us with w+e really do not have arty alternativsbut to t~ os~inabes to provide for as Mr. West indicated, a laundry deterg~t to provids for the cleaning of dishes.
