Mr. Alexander Taylor, 1077-3 Santo Antonio, said he represented the Park Mediterrania Association. As a government worker for 16 years, he said that at work you must now do the job for less. He spoke on the City's take-over of the trash pick-up and said that he was expecting a decrease in charges but he calculated that BFI charged $1,670 per month with the City expected to charge $2,672 per month, averaging $7.40 per unit, representing a 60% increase. He requested that the City reconsider its plan and the service. Fiscal Pla Mr. Rocky Fredrickson, 2854 S.
