Stephanie Munoz, 13460 Robleda Road, commented that she thought that the <br />proposal before the Council would not help to reduce the amount of garbage <br />produced by the Town and that this was the real issue. <br />A new resident to the Town questioned whether the garbage rates could be applied <br />to the property tax bill and therefore be deductible. The City Manager responded <br />that they could be added to the tax bill but because they are fees not taxes they would <br />not be deductible. <br />Burns R. Searfoss, 25531 W. Fremont, commented that he has been able to reduce to <br />1 can pick up by recycling and preferred the alternative which was similar to the City <br />of Los Altos. <br />Keith McFarland, La Paloma Road , noted that he was not in favor of alternative #4 <br />but realizes that there are universal fixed expenses that need to be addressed. <br />Mayor Tryon thanked the public for their comments tonight and the letters that <br />have been written during this process. <br />MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Johnson, seconded by Hubbard <br />and passed by the following roll call vote to adopt the following monthly rates <br />effective March 1, 1993, as recommended by the Council Subcommittee: Baseline <br />Service $15.95; Each additional 100' or part $2.50; One can service $24.05*; two can <br />service $32.15*; three can service $40.25*; four can service $48.35*.
