Reform 6.4: Landfill
Divestiture of the Landfill. Other Information:
The City’s landfill is a valuable asset – and cost savings can be achieved by transferring that asset to private operators.
However, the deal must be structured in a way that benefits taxpayers today and protects taxpayers tomorrow. To work the deal
must provide the following elements: A fair lease payment to the city for the use of the landfill, An exceptional bargain
for the dumping of General Fund solid waste, Adequate financing for proper environmental compliance costs The City has contracted
with an outside consulting firm to help manage the bid process, evaluate proposals, and structure the deal terms. For FY 12,
the Roadmap includes the lowest-end of anticipated financial benefits to taxpayers from this deal.
