(A) The Budget Committee of the city shall review the user charge system of the city at least annually. In the event the review will result in a recommendation of a change in the user charge rate as necessary to ensure that the system generates adequate revenues to pay the cost of operation and maintenance, including replacement, and that the system continues to provide for the proportional distribution of operation and maintenance, including replacement costs among users, then the budget committee shall provide that recommendation to the Board of Aldermen who may then authorize by a motion or resolution a change in the user charge rates. Nothing stated herein shall preclude the Board of Aldermen from conducting its own independent review of the user charge system without use of the Budget Committee in making its own determination as to the need to pass a motion or resolution to revise user charge rates due to the above stated circumstances.
(B) Written notice in conjunction with a regular bill shall be provided to each user as to any change of the user charge rate and the effective date of that change.
