(El Centro to discuss trash rates)….City Manager Ruben Duran says C R & R had requested the fee schedule review in April. He said the city has reviewed the request, and it was determined they have a right, under their contract with the city, to make such a request. Duran said the request opens the entire contract for review. The company began its contract as the cities solid waste collector a year ago. Duran said that is another reason to review the contract. A public hearing has been scheduled for July 16 to discuss the requested increase and review the contract and service provided the city in the past year. Oral and or written comments will be accepted from the public at the time of the hearing. The public hearing will be held during the regular city council meeting. C R & R is asking that any rate change approved be retroactive to July 1, 2008.
