Council Member Marquez,
You are incorrect. The webpage that contains information about the trash franchise is fully
operational. I checked it personally immediately upon receiving your email and confirmed with our
IT team that the entire website has been 100% operational all day long. If you have a screen capture
of the "disabled" webpage, email it to me and staff will identify your error.
Your accusation that city staff disabled the website is outrageous and unprofessional. The
harassment prevention training you have received requires you rescind the accusation, apologize
and refrain from creating a hostile workplace, impugning city staff's integrity, or baselessly
questioning our ethics.
Cypress is extraordinarily transparent about the trash franchise. Our website provides
comprehensive information that far exceeds what most other cities make available. If you have
suggestions about how to enhance the page, provide them to me.

Peter,
Last night I raised concerns the Citizens of Cypress have regarding the rate increase under the Valley
Vista Contract. This morning I noticed that the City of Cypress webpage for the Valley Vista contract
documents has been disabled. I do not understand why this is the case and the timing is
questionable. For the sake of full transparency for the Citizens of Cypress full access to these
documents should be restored as soon as possible and without delay.
Sincerely,
Frances
