[Adopted by L.L. No. 2-1984; amended in its entirety 6-28-2005 by L.L. No. 6-2005, approved at referendum 11-8-2005]
The method of operation of the rates, rentals and charges for
public electric utility service and the procedure for their collection
shall be fixed by the County Legislature in accordance with laws.
The Agency shall recommend to the County Legislature the establishment
of a system of consumer rates, the intent of which shall be to enable
the public utility service to be self-liquidating, and shall impose
and collect the rates established in a manner consistent with law.
With respect to any property the Agency may acquire within the
County from any private utility company, the Agency shall make payments
in lieu of taxes to the appropriate municipalities or districts in
an amount equal to the amount that would have been paid in real estate
or franchise taxes had such private utility continued to use such
property.
The Agency shall maintain books of record and account with respect
to its operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied. Within 90 days after the end of the
Agency's fiscal year, the Agency shall deliver to the County Legislature
its financial statements at the end of such year and for the year
then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and accompanied by a report thereon, prepared by a firm of independent
accountants of recognized national standing based upon an audit using
generally accepted auditing standards.
The Agency's existence shall continue until terminated by law;
provided, however, that no such law shall take effect so long as the
Agency shall have obligations outstanding. The terms of the members
of the Agency shall expire upon the enactment of a local law terminating
the Agency's existence and the County Legislature shall constitute
the Agency until the effective date of the Agency's expiration. Upon
termination of the existence of the Agency, all its rights and properties
shall pass to and be vested in the County. No law terminating the
existence of the Agency shall be enacted except upon an affirmative
2/3 vote of all the members of the County Legislature.
If any section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or
provision of this article shall be unconstitutional or be ineffective
in whole or in part, to the extent that it is not unconstitutional
or ineffective, it shall be valid and effective and no other section,
subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or provision shall on account
thereof be deemed invalid or ineffective.
