Opt-out window and long-term commitment risk
Summary
The only guaranteed exit is December 31, 2027 — if RFP pricing beats the master plan's maximum rates. After that, cities are locked in for decades. A proposal for a 25-year exit failed 8-10 at the governing board, though Chair Ryan signaled willingness to revisit it.

Commissioners like Biederman want flexibility; SWA leaders argue stability is what wins long-term contract pricing.
