CYPRESS, Calif.—A city councilor is challenging the city’s latest contract with a trash vendor, citing a lack of transparency and fairness by extending it with rate increases, no bidding, and no termination clause, plus recent allegations against the vendor for corruption in a neighboring town.
During an April 11 city council meeting, Councilwoman Frances Marquez, elected in 2020, alleged the city extended its agreement with Valley Vista Services after years of rate increases on residents.
