The fees set forth in Sections I, II, and III above include tipping fees or the

and/or approved by the City Manager or the Manager’s designee. Failure to charge a
consolidated rate that includes the tipping fee and systems benefit fee and falls within
the minimum-maximum allowable rates may result in enforcement action, including
imposition of an administrative civil penalty.
