AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA AMENDING THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE
WITH REGARD TO RESIDENTIAL REFUSE
COLLECTION BILLING
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA does hereby ordain as
follows:
SECTION 1. That Title 7, Chapter 7.08, Section 7.08.080 of the Azusa
Municipal Code be amended to read as follows:
"7.08.080 RESIDENTIAL COLLECTION--FEES. A fee or such other charge as may
be fixed from time to time by the City Council by resolution is established as the fee to
be paid to the city by the occupant or owner, as hereinafter set forth, for providing and
making available a service for the collection of residential rubbish from each residential
unit. The Light and Water Department of the City is designated as the agency for the
collection of such fees. A fee is established for each occupied residential unit, but no
change of said charge shall be effective less than thirty days from the date of the
resolution changing the rate or charge. Such charge shall be collected monthly upon
billing by the Light and Water Department of the City and shall be payable upon
presentation of statement and shall be delinquent thirty days thereafter.
This charge shall be included on the bill for electric service. Not withstanding the
imposition of this fee or charge upon the occupant, wherever the bill for electricity is
paid or payable by the owner or other person, such owner or other person shall also be
charged and pay the fee for rubbish collection service on behalf of the occupant or
occupants. If the owner or other person pays such fees and he is not the occupant of
some or any premises for which it is so paid, such owner or other person shall be
entitled to reimbursement therefor from the occupant or occupants on behalf of whom
such fee was paid by him. In cases where two or more residential units are served by
the City with electricity through a common master meter, the person responsible for the
payment of the bill for electricity shall also be responsible for the payment of the rubbish
collection service fees for each occupied unit served by such meter and shall be entitled
to reimbursement therefor from the occupant or occupants.
For all occupied residential units where only water service is furnished by the Light and
Water Department, the charge shall be included on the bill for water service.
For all occupied residential units where neither electricity nor water service is furnished
by the Light and Water Department, the charge per month per each occupied residential
unit shall be payable by the property owner monthly upon presentation of a statement
therefor by the Light and Water Department. The property owner shall submit to the
Light and Water Department on a monthly basis a list of occupied units for billing
reconciliation purposes. Failure to submit a timely list will result in a billing based on
full occupancy.
The property owner shall advance the Light and Water Department an amount equal
to a two-month fee for residential refuse collection based on full occupancy, as
guarantee of final payment, prior to establishment of service.
No person shall willfully fail, neglect or refuse to pay the fee herein prescribed or to
reimburse any person entitled to such reimbursement within ten days after demand
thereof. If less than the total amount of any bill for rubbish collection and for electric
service or water service or both is paid, the amount received by the Light and Water
Department shall first be credited to any amount due for the collection of rubbish; and
the balance of the payment, if any, shall be credited to the amount due for water
service or electric service.
In addition to any other penalties, the City may discontinue the rubbish collection
service for nonpayment of any such fee. In addition the fee shall become a civil
liability and debt due to the City from any person upon whom the charge is imposed."
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Ordinance and
shall cause the same to be published as required by law.
