Box 1225 Portola, CA 96122 30 Page 1 of 1 Received: Friday, August 12, 2022 8:49 AM From: Tom Valentino Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2022 08:49:09 -0700 Subject: Request for Supporting Information To: Ricky Ross rihyros@intermountaindiposalcom> Cc: Jon Kennedy citymanager@eityofportola.com>, Susan Scarlett earletbi@yahoacom Hi Ricky. In response to your recent request for a refuse collection rate increase, we restate the City's request that you issue an up-to-date compiled finançial statement prepared by your accounting firm. The City will not send representatives to IMD's office to review those records. Please note under Section 5.5 oft the franchise agreement, IMD shall both document and provide justification for its request for a rate increase based on increases to Pass-Through Costs. We believe that IMD has a clear obligation to provide the City a financial statement for our review and understanding. Recall the last time there was a disposal fee increase at Delleker Transfer Station - in 2019 - IMD emailed the city a financial statement. From those records, staff was able to ascertain to the City Council that your company had provided the relevant information in support of your request to increase curbside refuse collection rates. Accordingly, please email a financial statement to me at your earliest convenience. Note that your refusal to provide, or delay in providing, a financial statement to the City will result in the City's inability to process, or delay in processing, your requested rate increase.
