STATEMENT OF MIKE LINDBERG, COMMISSIONER, 

 ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES AND BUREAU OF WATER WORKS 



Mr. Lindberg. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 



Mr. Chairman, members of the committee, welcome to the city of 

 Portland. I am Mike Lindberg on the Portland City Council, and I 

 am also Commissioner of Environmental Services and the Bureau 

 of Water Works. It is a great honor for me personally to be able to 

 welcome you. 



I have followed the careers of many of the members of this com- 

 mittee, have admired your work for a long time and had an oppor- 

 tunity to meet a number of you last night. I also bring warm greet- 

 ings from our outstanding new mayor, Vera Katz, and under our 

 unique form of government, as I mentioned, she designates mem- 

 bers of the council to administer certain areas, and Environmental 

 Services and Water is mine. 



Fortunately, the mayor has made environmental issues a very 

 high priority on her agenda. She appreciates the statement that 

 you make actually by coming to the city of Portland today and the 

 City Hall.
