His Honor Mayor Pro Tem Whipple stated that he would like to commend Bunker and Jones, Auditors, for the fine job they did in reviewing the financial statement received from the disposal company, and that he would like to state again that the services rendered by the disposal company have been excellent. He added that the adjustment of the franchise fee would eliminate any excess profits that might be determined as such. He was of the opinion that the Commission should not do anything to jeopardize the service and efficiency of the disposal company. Commissioner Sharp stated that he would certainly go along with these thoughts and that he had noticed the disposal company is giving service over and beyond what the contract calls for. Commissioner Fountain added that he would like to commend the officials of the Southern Nevada Disposal Service, Inc., for the fine cooperation they have had in working this matter out in an equitable manner. Mayor Pro Tem Whipple stated that the newspapers have published several stories and in particular an item in regard to the franchise fee of 10% which the City of Henderson receives; however, he pointed out that the paper failed to mention the fact that the City of Henderson handled the collection and bookkeeping, and this city is also located closer to the dump; furthermore, there is a slight difference in rate and there is not the problem in the turn-over of people moving in and out of that area. R.
