Actually that should be Rehrig Pacific Company, a sub-contractor for Waste Management. In a nutshell, the parking lot of Splash Cove has become a storage facility for thousands of trash containers.
There has been much back and forth between city staff and various members of the community with staff NOT being totally forthcoming.

The city entered into an agreement with Rehrig for the storage of these items. It would appear that the city is not being compensated for this. Why is the city the storage facility? Info from city staff indicates that the city was asked to help store the items which were going to Shawnee citizens. But, certain questions have yet to be answered, and as is typical for certain members of city staff it is like pulling teeth to get specific answers.
Here are the questions that various citizens want answered:
1. Who approved this arrangement?
2. Why isn't Shawnee being compensated?
3. What assurance does the city have that all of the containers will be distributed to Shawnee residents?
4. Produce a copy of the distribution list for these containers.
This is an outrage. Unfortunately, previous experience has shown that senior city staff (City Manager Nolan Sunderman) will attempt to tap dance around this
