Mr. Santos re-iterated that whoever had the highest per month bill. Did they know ghat h .meant? Ms. Warden stated that Ms. Kelleher was very good. She did not let it go beyond i Cape Waste being $4,000.00. That was the highest she had ever heard offor being in arrears. That was why she wanted ,000.00 from day one. It was a surety bond that probably cost them $100.00 per year. Mr. Harrington stated that they'paid it monthly to the insurance company. The insurance 'company issued the bond. They could put $5,000.00-in Cf or $5,000.00 cash held in an account. There were other ways to do it.
