[Adopted 5-18-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-7]
In the course of budget preparations each year,
the costs related to transportation and treatment of sewage and the
costs of removal and disposal of trash shall be separately estimated
as part of the annual budget process. These estimations shall include
reasonable allocations for administrative and overhead costs.
The fee structure charged to consumers or residents
shall be fixed so that the costs are equitably allocated among the
users of the services, and the charges for the use thereof shall be
fixed on an annual basis and billed either annually or quarterly to
the users.
In the event that the charges or costs to the
Borough for sewer expenses or trash collection expenses are increased
by the suppliers of such services during the budget year, the Director
of Administration and Finance is authorized to adjust future billings
to account for such additional charges, and to report to Council thereon.
These funds are intended to keep a balance only
sufficient to maintain the fund operation and are intended to pass
through to the resident, consumers of these services, the charges
levied against the Borough, along with reasonable administrative and
overhead costs.
