I would like to thank District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer for all his help in securing the blue recycle trash cans and extending the twice-a-week summer regular trash pick up for that extra summer after the city cut the funding last year. The Mission Beach Town Council for over two years discussed, debated and disagreed over exchanging the summer twice-weekly pickup for the blue recycling cans. The vote, which was not by any means unanimous, was for the blue cans and to end extra summer pickups. With this vote, Kevin honored the wishes of the Town Council and the recycling cans were delivered. Kevin has been very supportive of, and responsive to, the Mission Beach community in numerous other ways, including focusing city resources to begin repairing the seawall, reopening The Plunge and stopping AT&T from building a 30-foot-high cell tower at Bonita Cove.
