Dear Chairman DeSaulnier,
At the April 30 meeting of your Ad Hoc Solid Waste Committee
you asked our committee to recommend alternative sources of
funds to supplement funds already committed to the audit of
Richmond Sanitary Service.
After careful consideration by our committee and members of
the E1 Sobrante MAC, we recommend:
1 . The County obtain the amount needed to complete
the audit from the general fund.
2 . An alternative recommendation is that the money
be borrowed from the general fund and repaid
from future franchise fee collections.
We are opposed to adding a surcharge to residents' monthly
garbage bills for payment of the audit. The audit cost would
be a one-time expense, establishing a base from which future
regulatory actions by the County will readily flow. It will
serve as a model for regulating all county franchise agree-
ments and, therefore, we feel it should be paid for from
general funds.
Sincerely,
M. B. Ketter, Chair, E1 Sobrante MAC' s
Ad Hoc Committee on Garbage
