§ 106-100. Compensation of collectors.

(a)

For purposes of this section, the term "annual rate of compensation" shall mean the amount of money per residential improved real property within the area served by the contract collector for full solid waste collection services to be rendered by the contract collector to the residential improved real property within the district. The number of residential improved real properties entitled to full service in each service area beginning October 1 of each year shall be multiplied times the annual rate of compensation, and the result shall be the measure of contract compensation paid to each contract collector for providing full service within the collection contract area. Compensation shall be payable by the county to each contract collector in monthly installments on the first of the month after which service has been provided, less any outstanding debt or administrative charges owed to the county by the contract collector. Based upon the property appraiser's records and the contract collector's records submitted to the county, the director of solid waste, or his designee, shall determine the number of residential improved real properties within each service area for the upcoming year. The director shall provide monthly a list of certificates of occupancy issued for residential improved real property not billed for the service by the tax bill so that service may be provided and the collector paid.

(b)

In the event there exists residential improved real property entitled to full service and such residential improved real properties are not billed for the special assessment on the annual tax bill, or at the time of issuance of the certificate of occupancy (referred to in this section as the unassessed residential improved real property), then each contract collector shall submit to the director for review and approval a list of all such unassessed residential improved real property within the collection contract areas. Upon approval of such list by the director, the contract collector may be directed to bill each of the unassessed residential improved real property within the collection contract area an amount equal to the annual rate of compensation (or a pro rata amount if the residential improved real property has not received full service for the entire calendar year), or the county may issue the bill.
