Distribution: Mayor City Council City Ma ager,/ Legal AUG 2 1 1997 August 20, 1997 ~ G. Harold Duffy Sr. Administrative Assistant Public Works Department City of Riverside 3900 Main Street Riverside, CA 92522 Dear Harold: I am in receipt of your faxed letter in which you attempt to cover yourself with Mr. Beck. We both know that you only called this week regarding recycling at City Hall. You and I have had several conversations over the last two or three weeks and you have made no mention of a lack of service of the Ability Counts barrels. You spoke to Mr. LaValley of our office this week and voiced your concerns, and, as he informed you, we have logged all pickups at City Hall and we have not missed a service day. If you need more service days, simply request them. I'm sure, however, that this is simply your attempt to invoke punitive action on NEWCO because you don't care for us fighting for our rights to prevent you and/or the City from putting us out of business. I furthermore perceive this as another step in your "tightening" your marriage to Burrtee. Quite frankly, I have been expecting this threat for quite some time. Harold, you are getting quite predictable. I am confident that you recall the conference call you instituted between the two of us and a resident in which the lady told you, "You should do your homework and get the facts right before misrepresenting the truth." It is in this context that I make the following request. Because of your too convenient memory, I ask you to allow me to recall for you a bit of history. A couple of months ago, we spoke on the issue of monetary compensation. During that conversation, I informed you, as I had previously informed Quincy, that the materials were being mixed rather than separated, so the value of the different papers was greatly reduced to that of mixed paper. You stated, as did Quincy before, that you would rectify the situation and get back to me when you had done so. That has obviously not happened as the materials of greater value are still being mixed at this time. The ball remains in your court, Harold.
