REFUSE CHARGE Mayor recognized Mrs. Mary G. Forcum, 102 South Cooper Drive, who requested cancellation of the City's $4.62 refuse charge for the months of November, 1968, through February, 1969, by reason of the fact that during that billing period she had been a part of the Garden Grove Sanitary District refuse pickup area as well as the City's; that she had notified the City of her election to use the services of the Garden Grove Sanitary District and did not avail herself of the City's services; and that the City had notified her of intention to shut off her water unless the refuse charge was paid. City Manager reported that the City's contractual agreement with the City's refuse collector provides for trash collection payment onthe basis of the location of City water meters whether or not trash is placed on the curb for removal. He stated further that the ordinance provides that if the total bill, water and refuse pickup, is not paid, the City can enforce collection of both charges by the threat of shutting off the water; and that there is no legal possibility at the administrative or Council level to make a determination which would relieve Mrs. Forcum from responsibility for the payment of the refuse charge.
