Any business or entity which is located within the county and which is a regular user of the facility may request to be placed on an account billing system for payment of fees. The Director of the Department of Public Works shall establish such an account billing system with the approval of the County Auditor. The account billing system shall require that payments are made on a monthly basis and shall be due within 30 days after the end of the billing period (i.e., July payments shall be due by August 31st). As a condition precedent to a business being placed on such an account billing system, the business or entity shall deposit security with the county in an amount equal to 30 days’ use of the facility, as determined by the Director. Security may be in the form of a cash deposit. Failure to promptly pay any billing by the county or to maintain adequate security shall result in the immediate revocation of the account billing for any business or entity. The requirement to post security shall be waived as to any franchised waste hauler where the terms of the performance bond posted by the hauler as part of its franchise agreement is amended to reflect that the bond (in the amount required by the franchise agreement) will also serve as security pursuant to this section. The requirement to post security shall also be waived as to any public agency where the agency acknowledges in writing to the county that it will agree to timely pay the fees as imposed by this section upon the presentation of a bill or other request for payment by the county. In the event of the failure of any such business or entity to pay the fees within the 30 days after the end of the billing period, the Director of the Department of Public Works shall promptly submit a written demand for payment to the party. If the fees (as billed and due) are not paid within 15 days from the date of any such demand, the Director of the Department of Public Works shall take any such delinquencies from the security and thereafter place any such party on a cash only basis for use of the landfill.
