ISSUE
Update the Committee on the ongoing discussion with Waste Management of Washington, LLC

BACKGROUND
The current Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and Compostables Collection Agreement
will expire on October 31, 2019. The current contract has a provision that provides for up to two
extensions, which shall not exceed two years each.
DISCUSSION
In 2018, staff started researching the extension process for the current WM contract and have
been meeting with representatives from WM. Staff believes that it makes good economic sense
for the City to opt for the allowable two extensions (for a total of four years).
