Enactment #:
Title:
Resolution approving the settlement of pre-litigation claims against Sunset Scavenger Company,
Golden Gate Disposal & Recycling Company, Recology San Francisco, and Recology Properties Inc.
through the acceptance of a $25,000,000 reimbursement to San Francisco ratepayers; the claims
involve alleged retention of profits above the 9 percent target profit approved in the 2017 public rate
setting process, and the timing and appropriateness of cost of living adjustments to rates; additional
material terms of the settlement are that rental costs of select real properties will not be passed
through to ratepayers once acquisition costs are paid, and ratepayers will be reimbursed for up to
approximately $26,000,000 in rental payments in the event that those properties are no longer
available for the benefit of San Francisco refuse ratepayers.
