The board may acquire equipment, vehicles and city-owned or city-approved containers, and employ the personnel necessary and required to accomplish the collection and disposal of solid waste. The board may also, pursuant to the powers vested in it by the laws of the state, contract for the collection and disposal of solid waste.

C. The board is hereby authorized to enter into agreements and shall have any other authority as is necessary to effectuate the purposes of this chapter, including but not limited to Section 8.24.050.
D. To facilitate the collection of the fee imposed by this chapter, the board, in its discretion, may show the amount of the residential solid waste collection fee upon statements rendered by the Columbus city utilities department. The board may, in its discretion, place any additional information of each statement which it deems useful in charging and collecting the fees imposed by this chapter. The failure or omission to render any statement or bill shall not in any manner relieve the owner of the residential unit, building or structure of the obligation to pay any fee under this chapter.
E. The city services manager, with the approval of the board, shall be authorized to prepare and publish rules for the effective administration and enforcement of the provisions of this chapter. Any such rules so published shall have the force of law, and a violation of such rules shall be punishable in the same way as a violation of this chapter.
