Severe ambiguity in the green bin contract about how much it would cost taxpayers to cancel the agreement led city staff to recommend a new deal with Orgaworld, a confidential memo suggests.
The memo, sent to council from the legal department this week and seen by this newspaper, says the city can cancel the contract by giving Orgaworld a one-year notice and making a termination payment, but the amount that would be owed to Orgaworld could vary by tens of millions of dollars, depending how the contract is interpreted.
