Re: Waste Management Contract Proposal
Waste Management:
Working capital was negative (1.2 billion). Net assets value was 4.4 billion. The company is
involved in lawsuits for improper accounting practices, improper disclosure of facts relating to
earnings projections, and previous filed fmancial statements. The outcome of these lawsuits can not
be determined at this time. The company announced an agreement to pay a 220 million-dollar
settlement for class of open market securities
Republic:
Working capital was negative (53,000,000). Net assets value wa~ 1.5 billion. The company is
involved in several lawsuits that they feel are without merit and will be vigorously defended.
Revenue was 1.8 billion.
BFI:
Working capital was negative (381 million). Net assets value was 637 million. The company is
involved in several lawsuits that they feel will not materially affect their financial statements. BFI
was acquired by Allied during their last fiscal year. Consequently, its cash flow and working capital
amounts are low. However, its financial stability appears to be strong based on generating 3".3
billion dollars in revenue.
IESI
Working capital was 11.1 million. Net assets value was 67 million. Revenue was 11 0 million. The
company is involved in several lawsuits that they feel will not materially affect their financial
statements.

increase provided for in Paragraphs 13.03, 13.04 and 13.05.

proposal to increase rates as outlined in Paragraph 13.02, the City shall
approve or disapprove of the proposed rate increase on or before August 1,
2001, and in subsequent years, provided that the City shall approve any rate
