In addition, each permanent business will be charged a minimum commercial charge and any appropriate levy amount as well. Any commercial account which produces more than one two cubic yards of solid waste per week shall also be required to independently agree with the contractor for such extra service as the generator might, from time to time, need.
(1) Billings for those commercial accounts, if within rural county, will be based upon a schedule of container and dumpster services available from the county’s hired contractors. That list of charges shall be retained by the County Clerk, as changed from time to time, and be available to commercial customers. Any commercial business that disagrees with the charges levied by a contractor shall have the right of appeal to the Board of County Commissioners concerning charging grievances, and the Board of County Commissioners decision shall be final after hearing.
(2) Each commercial business that is already paying a solid waste fee for door-to-door pickup and also receives a personal property tax bill from the county shall pay a county solid waste fee.
(3) Commercial users receiving door to door pickup but not receiving personal property tax bills (e.g., governmental agencies, schools, hospitals, churches and benevolent agencies) shall pay the fee described in division (A)(2) above. Each city’s commercial solid waste billing list shall be used to determine such users.
(4) Within incorporated cities that have separate agreements with the county’s authorized contractors, the cities shall reserve the right to arbitrate disputes between the contractors and commercial account holders that, from time to time, might arise.
(B) In the event that a contractor or another builder, including an individual of a substantial structure or one who engages in demolition of a previous structure, which actions significantly adds to the solid waste stream, such person or entity shall make private arrangements for any such substantial construction job, remodeling project, or for the demolition of any existing buildings.
(1) In the event that a substantial construction job, qualifying remodeling project, or demolition project occurs without previous arrangements having been made with the appropriate solid waste contractor, said party shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and be subject to the general misdemeanor penalties described in § 50.999. Upon an application for a sewer permit within the county, if it is tied to future construction, it shall be the duty of the County Recorder to provide such information to the applicant of the requirements of this chapter and that potentially a dumpster is required for that project. All solid waste contractors shall likewise be entitled to information concerning sewer permit applicants, which will help them monitor the flow of construction waste.
(2) A qualifying substantial construction project, or qualifying remodeling project, shall be one that involves construction of 400 square feet or more of any structure within the county.

(C) The dispute resolution provisions described in divisions (A) and (B) above shall be applicable to resolve disputes over the appropriate applicability and costs applicable to any construction or demolition project under this subchapter.
(D) In any building project for which a sewer permit is required, or for which electricity will be required from either Idaho Power Company, Avista Utilities, or Idaho County Light and Power, the Health Department offices in Orofino, Kamiah, and Grangeville, and the appropriate county offices of the electrical utilities shall be regularly supplied with the provisions of this subchapter and this chapter so that those builders will be familiar with the requirements of this chapter. The county shall be permitted to reach agreements with the three utilities and the Idaho Public Health Department, North Central District, concerning the affirmative duty to disseminate information to the public, as described in this subchapter.
(E) Any contractor or individual not complying with the provisions of this subchapter shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to the misdemeanor penalties described herein.
