Mayor Byrd stated that Councilman Pedroza had a question that he wanted to ask. Councilman Pedroza responded that on Professional Consult and Services listing, the Consolidated Disposal expenditures for 2003 / 04 $1.2 million dollars and staff is projecting and then all of a sudden in 2004 we are projecting 2.6 million. I know we are under contract but would like Yadollah Farhadi to explain to us what the increase is for. Assistant City Manager Director of Finance & Administration: Alfretta Earnest said she could explain with CDS and Western Waste each had about six months. She thinks that Western Waste went through November in terms of the contract and then CDS took up their portion of the Contact for the remainder of the year. So if you combine those two it would equal out to the $2.6 million. It is just now with the new year 2004/ 2005 we have a whole full twelve months contract.
