To the City of Cypress City Council Members, January 23, 2022
City council members are civil servants, and are elected to serve their community, not their
own personal whims. A contract given to Valley Vista, with no input from the residents, no
alternative bids, and no negotiations is unethical. A fifteen year contract, until 2037, is a long
time to give a contract to a company that has already shown it does not adhere to bids and
contracts. As city council members, it is your responsability and duty to act on behalf of the
city’s residents as you would your own home: Get bids from several corporations, negotiate
terms, and select the one that best fits your needs. On behalf of myself and my fellow Cypress
residents, I demand that the city council follow proper procesures, and request bids from other
companies to ensure the residents will be getting what they pay for at a reasonable, agreed
price. The rate increases are higher than the inflation rate, and a hardship to many Cypress
residents. Please reconsider your decision and the consequences that will follow. It is your
duty to do your job for which you were elected, with respect and dignity, and in the best
interests of the Cypress citizens.
