A chart of what neighboring cities <br />pay for service is NOT a reason for an increase, especially since there is no substantive <br />comparison information. I urge the City Council and Staff to work harder on making a case for <br />this increase, not to rely on a "lemmings" rationale. <br />From 2020 to 2024 the rate for the smallest size bin has DOUBLED. <br />Now there is a proposed additional ~25% increase for 2025, for no realistic reason other than <br />neighboring rates. <br />>> Perhaps it's time to put the contract out for bid if Recology cannot meet their commitment. <br />Carol J Sconzert (owner) <br />11130 Lyons St., Redwood City CA 94061 <br />650-291-1023 <br />-- <br />~~c <br />650-291-1023
