Committee forwards amendment extending Sunset Scavenger contract amid pending litigation
Summary
The committee forwarded a tenth amendment extending the term of the city's hauling contract with Sunset Scavengers to May 31, 2008 and increasing compensation by $750,000; staff confirmed the amendment allows termination effective on any court-ordered date.
The Budget & Finance Committee on Wednesday forwarded to the full Board a proposed tenth amendment to the city's hauling agreement with Sunset Scavengers that would extend the contract to May 31, 2008 and increase total compensation by $750,000 to $13,615,000.
Naomi Kelly, city purchaser, told the committee the amendment includes an explicit termination clause tied to any court ruling: if litigation produces an earlier termination date, the contract would end on the court-ordered date. Members treated the measure as a policy matter because litigation is pending and asked whether there was public comment; none was offered.
Budget office staff characterized the matter as a policy question for the full Board. The committee agreed to forward the matter with a recommendation for the Board's consideration.
