You already know the “slippery seven” intends to approve the garbage franchise because “they” know what’s best. RIGHT! Same mentality that you, Madam, so angrily and openly convey.

Deception? “They” aren’t that clever. Open and boring books is what they are but at a cost to the residents who will be paying, paying, paying. Look at the monthly sewer rates, egghead WSR sprinkled with twinkles. The most transparent thing about this is their attempt at being deceptive. Amateurs.

Oh God Eddie…..sounds like deception and possibly a conscripacy….
Thank you so much for uncovering this deception….

Like Little Rickey(JRN) said: Angela From city council is trying to take our guns away….Those sons of a (deleted by editor) are are manipulating us…..oh Thank God ESM for uncovering this:
Ad naseum:::

However the e-mail sent on March 9 to a selected list identified that assembly as being a “City Council Work Session.”

So, which is it?

Thank you. We should be so fortunate if city leaders would heed your words.

Amen

Discussion/possible direction regarding the feasibility of changing from the
existing open system of providing residential trash and recycling services to a system by which the City contracts directly with a private hauler(s) to provide a Citywide, City-managed residential trash and recycling program.

Since the Mayor and Council refuse to admit they read the SedonaEye, it’s important for us to attend this meeting and express our comments so they hear us.

There are other impacts that account for the deterioration experienced on City streets. Everything from poor initial design to the lack of an aggressive maintenance program.

My hope is that our City Councilors avail themselves of the information available here and render a decision that is based on Engineering facts and not the tag-a-long story that was an addition to the Sustainabilty Commission’s desire to increase recycling rates. One truck per week vs three per week is inconsequential as the total vehicle weight. One need look at either wheel or axle loading versus total weight.

Sedona Recycles is a fantastic asset and an efficient operation. Don’t fix what ain’t broke.

And even though subdivisions whether or not dedicated public roads or private, certainly do not have the traffic involved as on both State Highways – SR179 & 89A- west & north.

However ADOT does manage to keep those major arteries in decent condition regardless of the number of garbage trucks, delivery trucks, semis, RV’s, jeeps, travel trailers, construction trucks – over and above the millions of cars clogging the routes day after day after day ad infinitum. Does anyone out there disagree?

But of course our inefficient city leaders cannot fathom that it’s their responsibility to maintain conditions beneficial to the health, safety and welfare of the public in general. Under that catchy little phrase included (or should be) is safe roads. And eliminating two garbage hauling businesses will not make that happen.

Not only does Yavapai County do a better job at providing and maintaining roads but that goes for Coconino County as well. Prior to incorporation dedicated county roads were always maintained in tip-top shape – no ifs, ands or buts.

These very ignorant people now dictating we must do away with a choice of garbage collection agency because of the damage to the roads? Well – that might hold water if we didn’t have these other outrageous conditions. But isn’t the real deal being forced on us here nothing more than another neat and tidy “service contract” in motion with Sedona Recycles?

Sorry you fools but your underlying motive is one of the few transparent things happening at city hall today. And unfortunately I’ll NOT be renewing my membership with Sedona Recycles if they have actually stooped so low as to be a party to this latest Sedona disgrace.
