budget - fiscal year 2006 -07 to the Board:

RATE FOR FY- 2006 -2007
In an attempt to provide the residents of Costa Mesa with a competitive
rate, the Costa Mesa Sanitary District is negotiating with CR &R to
voluntarily reduce their costs. A review of the overall trash collection rate
shows that the rate has climbed from mid level in year 2000 to the highest
rate in Orange County in the 2005 -2006 year. Mr. Hamers opened
discussion of the CR &R guarantee for the FY- 2006 -2007 collection rate
and the options available to the Board.

District rate will remain at or below the second highest trash collection rate

60 gallon containers. Mr. Hamers explained there is not enough time to
