In the event that the county determines that it is necessary to regulate the rates that are charged by any collector, in accordance with the authority of SCC 8.04.230, then the accounting of a collector shall be conducted as an independent entity, and the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and net worth shall not be combined, consolidated or in any way incorporated with those of any other operation. A collector may be required to provide the County Auditor an annual notarized statement of the collector’s manager, or other responsible officer of the collector, showing in detail the gross revenues arising from operations pursuant to the license for the previous year. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require a collector to establish a separate legal business entity in order to comply with the accounting requirements of this section. (Ord. 880, eff. 3/4/99; Ord. 844, eff. 10/1/96)
