OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -
Gov. David Walters disclosed today
that Fred J. Spitz, an Oklahoma
City engineer who was fined for vi-
olating the Clean Water Act, is
turning down his appointment to
the Scenic Rivers Commission.
In other comments at his weekly
news conference, Walters com-
mented on an economic develop-
ment visit to California and said he
is developing a code of conduct for
his appointees.
Walters released a letter from
Spitz in which Spitz said his ap-
pointment by former Gov. Henry
Bellmon appeared to have “created
an embarrassment to the state.
“I do not feel it is in the best in-
terest of the state to accept this ap-
pointment. I am, therefore, return-
ing unsigned all the documents sent
to me by Governor Bellmon.”

“The school board has at-large
voting and a lot of qualified people
from the black community have run
but none of them have won and I
doubt if they will. If it's not de-
feated at the polls the taxpayers will
really be losers.”
A special forum to discuss the
pros and cons of at-large voting
should be held, said Ersland.
Councilman James Dorn asked
officials to investigate a vacant
building on East Idaho.
“It’s an eyesore and a danger to
children. It needs to be torn down,”
he said.
The council approved the resig-
nation of Donna Jones from the
Fort Cobb Master Conservancy
District. She will be undergoing
knee surgery which is expected to
limit her activities for a couple of
months, said Councilman Belford
Gentry.
“I want to thank Donna for her
work. I appreciate her working on it
as long as she has,” he said.
The council accepted the resigna-
tion of long-time Human Relations
Commission member Joe Santos.
Dianne Wilkins was appointed to
fill his unexpired term.
