RECEIVED OCT 1 81993 _ ] October 15 , 1993 CLERK BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONTRA COSTA CO. Board of Supervisors Contra Costa County Martinez, California Honorable Supervisors : I am a. Kensington resident of Contra Costa County and I wish to go on record to object to your granting any'further Memorandums of Understanding and Transitional 'Permits with respect to Kensington Community Service District/Bay View Refuse Service garbage and recycling services . I further request that you cancel forthwith any existing MOU' s and TP's with respect to the same . This objection and request is made because I am satisfied that I am being, and have been, defrauded by the arrangement between the District and Bay View. Supervisor Thomas Powers has in his possession document- ation which establishes my claim that Bay View has overcharged the Kensington resident. the sum of $25 .50 for recycling services for the period January 1 , 1991 through June 30 , 1992 and that the District has been requested to secure refund for the overcharge . It refuses to do so. Bay View has also been requested and it fails to do so . Supervisor Thomas Powers has in his possession document- ation which establishes my claim that the District and Bay View have conspired to tax the Kensington resident (in violation of the Constitution of the State of California) . First , by estab- lishing garbage and recycling rates out of which Bay View pays the District thousands of dollars . Second, by agreeing that the recycling charges collected by Bay View from the Kensington resident are to be remitted to the District. As to this second point: (1 ) I have requested an accounting from the District but it fails and refuses to furnish it, and (2) there is a conflicting provision that Bay View is entitled to retain the recycling charges . Request has been made for a refund of said tax but neither Bay View nor the District have refunded the same . Supervisor Thomas Powers has in his possession document- ation which establishes my claim that (1 ) Bay View was under legal duty to collect the recyclable materials for the entire term of the contract (June 30, 2009) commencing January 2 , 1991 , (2) the residential customers were not obligated to make any payment for collection of recyclables subsequent to June 30 , 19921 (.3) Bay View was entitled to the revenues from the recycl- ables , and (4) that these revenues and the payments Bay View received from residential customers on and before June 30 , 1992 , represent the full entire and complete compensation due to Ba View for tfte entire remaining term of ttle contract commencing January 1 , 1991 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bay View and Page One I the District conspired to defraud the Kensington resident by entering into an agreement to charge the Kensington resident for recycling services for the period July 1 , 1992 through June 30 , 1994. Request has been made for a refund for the excessive payments but no refund has been made . Supervisor Thomas Powers has in his possession document- ation which establishes my layman' s claim about "franchises" . I question whether the Board of Supervisors is properly using said term in its MOU's , TP's , resolutions and ordinances .
