would be $13.80 per month based on mandatory collection:
Falcon Disposal Service Bids.- dba Hillside Rubbish
For mandatory service: each occupied residence
�. For the collection and disposal of the contents of six
(": 6) thirty five (35) gallon containers' per residence." er

entire community to have mandatory service. Mr. Sidney Morse -asked how many
homes did not have the service at the present tune. The Manager stated that
approximately 80 homes out of the total 600 homes did not provide for
rubbish collection. Inquiry was made if the City could do its own Rubbish

and the necessary investment would not be practical since -600 homes -would' not
be sufficient to generate full time employment for a crew. 'Mr. Mason Rose
stated that he was a former resident of Palos Verdes Estates and he had
not been satisfied with service provided by -the Palos Verdes Refuse Company.

Rubbish for the rubbish collection and.levy the additional charge in its annual
assessment billing.

staff on a six month billing basis or. at .the. most,, on. a -quarterly basis.
