Resolution to Approve Contract Amendment Number One with WeCare Organics to Extend Equipment Lease 90 Days
Memorandum
WeCare Organics, the city’s compost facility operator, is currently leasing city-owned equipment under the existing compost operations contract. That lease is set to expire June 30, 2011. WeCare Organics has requested a 90-day extension on that lease in order to better coordinate with leases at their other facilities. At the end of the 90 days, WeCare may choose to purchase the equipment at the rates that were outlined in the existing city contract.
In addition to including an extension to September 30, 2011, this proposed amendment allows the City Administrator to extend further the equipment lease end date and deadline to purchase if needed.
