Morning City Council,
In light of the Los Al contract, is the council reconsidering the trash contract? No one I know likes it but getting
51% of the households to send in a protest letter seems like an exceptionally high bar.
If this should go into affect. Our neighbors in Los Al will be paying nearly 50% less for what appears to be a higher
level of service.
If we could secure a similar contract, this translates to several millions of dollars of savings for our community each
year and over 15 years 10s of millions. If our city manager and city council can’t articulate a clear rationale for
entering a more expensive and lengthy contract it would be an embarrassment
Please review the contracts and articulate to the community why we move forward or renegotiate the contract. For
the community and for your own integrity.
Thanks,
~Anthony
