Peter,
I apologize if my message was misconstrued. Sometimes tact and tone is lost over email communication. I appreciate the hard work staff does everyday. I am simply alerting you to the fact that the day after I raised this issue in our meeting the link to the Valley Vista contract is not working. Iam simply asking for a swift remedy to this issue so that the public can have full access to these documents.
Sincerely,Frances

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
