6.14.030 - Rates to be competitive.

Rates charged by the Commerce refuse-to-energy authority for the disposal at its cogeneration plant shall be competitive with costs of disposal at competing sites, taking into consideration the average mileage to said plant as opposed to the average mileage to the then existing competing facilities, the tipping fee charged at the authority's plant as opposed to the average tipping fee charged at available competing sites and any other factors which materially affect the cost of disposal to the collector thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed as: (a) limiting the authority's power to charge tipping fees in amounts required by the terms of the resolution issuing bonds for the construction of the plant; or (b) excusing any licensed refuse hauler from the requirement of disposing of all or portions of all refuse collected within the city in accordance with Section 6.14.020 hereof.

(Ord. 359 §2, 1984; Ord. 309 §3, 1982).
