If there is no increase in the CPI or if the CPI decreases, the Vehicle Impact Fee shall remain unchanged from the previous Rate Year. 3.4 Administrative Fee The City has analyzed its annual budgeted costs to bill residential accounts and for general administration of this Agreement. These costs are typically paid from the City's General Fund even though these services benefit the Solid Waste franchise, and therefore the costs may be reasonably allocated to and recovered from the Solid Waste franchise. In order to offset a portion of the City's costs to perform residential customer billing and administer this Agreement, Contractor shall pay to the City an Administrative Fee in the amount of two million, three hundred twenty-six thousand, and eight hundred dollars ($2,326,800) annually as adjusted herein. The Administrative Fee shall be paid in twelve monthly installments over the course of each Rate Year, beginning with the Rate Year starting July 1, 2022. The July 1, 2022 Rate Year monthly payments will be one hundred ninety-three thousand, and nine hundred dollars ($193,900) due under the terms of Section 3.5. The foregoing notwithstanding, beginning with Rate Year 2 (July 1, 2023) and for all subsequent Rate Years, the amount of the Administrative Fee shall be adjusted annually to reflect the change in the average annual CPI for the twelve (12) month period ending December. If there is no increase in the CPI or if the CPI decreases, the Administrative Fee shall remain unchanged from the previous Rate Year. 3.5 Time and Method of Fee Payments to City On or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the end of each calendar month, during the Term of this Agreement, Contractor shall remit to City the Franchise Fee, NPDES Fee, Vehicle Impact Fee, and Administrative Fee as described in Sections 3.1 through 3.4.
