All commercial and industrial establishments shall pay a rate to be fixed by a schedule to be determined by the Town and assigned an assessment on or before July 1, 1986.
The Town shall establish four (4) classifications for commercial and industrial users into which one of (or more than 1 if multiple business activities are being carried on there) each establishment in the Town shall fall and the Town shall then evaluate by percentages or other logical mathematics the proportionately rated fees which each industrial or commercial user within each class shall pay. The user within its class shall not be required to pay more, nor permitted to pay less, than the bracket within which that user is preliminarily placed by the Town.
The classes hereby fixed by this chapter, but which may be changed by resolution of the Town Council, but otherwise shall be in effect until so changed, are as follows:
Column 1 Magnitude Of Displacement Of Solid Waste Gathered In Calendar Quarter | Column 2 Classification Assigned To Displacement Volume Taken From Column 1 | Column 3 Dollar Assessment For Commercial Or Industrial User According To Classification Assigned Not More Than/Not Less Than (Per Month) |
100 cubic yards or more | High | $100.00/$25.00 |
More than 25 but less than 100 cubic yards | Medium | $25.00/$10.00 |
More than 10 or less than 25 | Low | $10.00/$5.00 |
Less than 10 cubic yards | $3.00 |
Within the ranges "high", "medium" and "low", the Town shall assign a dollar amount to be assessed within the ranges expressed in column 3 of this table for each commercial and industrial user and that amount shall be the monthly charge to the specific user thus assessed.
However, the Town shall evaluate each user, commercial or industrial, and approximate within reasonable indices the proportionate part of the charge, within the ranges fixed in column 3 of this table, which should equitably be assessed against a commercial or industrial user and that shall be prima facie a reasonable charge and fully assessable under this chapter. If the user demonstrates with reasonably sufficient evidence that his assessment is inequitable or unjust, the Town shall adjust the specific assessment to that user; otherwise, the assessment shall remain as determined by the Town and reported to the Town Clerk for inclusion in the monthly charge imposed. These charges shall be added to the billing for utility charges assessing for electric service and the amounts so paid under aggregate billings shall be applied first to the solid waste disposal assessment, second to water assessments and last to the electric assessment of the commercial or industrial user and failure to pay for any of said assessments shall authorize and require the Town to turn off electric service to the premises until all charges and the cost of recommendation or turning on the electric service again shall and have been paid in full.
