Harry Manning, 1907 N. Delta, Rosemead, stated that he was most concerned about the contract with Modern Services that it is not competitive. Ed Dilkes, City Attorney, stated that the original contract was not competitive, and since it is not public works they do not have to be bid. Lillian Sacco, 3220 N. Walnut Grove, also commented on the fact that this contract should have been granted with competitive bidding. Juan Nunez, 2704 Del Mar-Street, inquired how the Street Sweeping Contract was figured. If it was the miles of street or the curbs in the City or just how? Mayor Taylor stated that it didn't know exactly how the charge was arrived at but that this contract with the City was received by Modern Services as they were the low bidder on the project. He told Mr. Nunez that the Street Cleaning Contract was aoseparate agreement and was not being discussed tonight. Paul Bezaire, 7433 E. Garvey, spoke about the additional cost for rubbish pick-up for mobile home parks, apartment houses and condominiums,-and stated that in other cities where they have competition they are picking up rubbish at a much lower rate than in Rosemead for the same service. Dale Denton, 2508 Medwicke -Hill Drive, Alhambra, owner of a trailer park on Barlett, spoke about the increase in rates of the rubbish pick-up, and it would be an increase of 30070. Peter Sacco, 3220 Walnut Grove, recommended that a commission be established to negotiate the rubbish agreement and amendments. Holly Knapp, 8367 Whitmore Street, inquired if,it wouldn't be more advantageous to the tax-payers of the City to pay the 7qo increase in rates rather than to agree to the proposed amend- ments. Mayor Taylor stated that he did not exact computations, but it would be more with the 77o increase. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CICHY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL that proposed amendments to the Modern Services Agreement be ap- proved. Vote resulted: AYES: Councilman Hunter, Imperial & Cichy NAYES: Councilman Tury and Mayor Taylor Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. VI. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS 1.
