All rates for such services shall be due and payable at the Finance Department in the City Hall on the date of billing therefor and become delinquent 15 days from and after the date of such billing. A penalty of 10% shall be charged on all unpaid bills for such service 30 days from and after the billing date.

The requirement for mandatory container rental may be waived for apartment buildings existing on January 1, 1972, upon a finding by the Director of Public Works that no space is avail- able for such container within the boundary lines of the apart- ment property. In no case, however, shall container locations be permitted in the front yard set-back or within areas required for meeting the minimum off-street parking require- ments of applicable zoning regulations. Any applicant who has been denied a waiver by the Director of Public Works may appeal such action to the City Council by filing within 30 days after such denial, a written statement of his rea- sons why the City Council should reverse the action from which the appeal is taken.

Overweight collections and collections beyond the once a week pickup by the City may be provided by agreement with the contractor and shall be based on the container (dumpster) rates for similar amounts of refuse and frequency of collection.

(a) An annual adjustment of $0.05 per unit per month shall be added to the revised schedule of rates for refuse collection effective May 1, 1974 and each first day of May of each suc- ceeding year. (b) In addition to the annual adjustment of $0.05 shown in (a) above, effective November 1, 1974 and on the first day of each November and May of each succeeding year the revised schedule of rates for refuse collection and standby service shall be adjusted to reflect the percentage change in the Consumer's Price Index (1957-59 Base) Los Angeles Area, pub- lished by the United States Department of Labor, as indicated ty the index figure most recently published prior to the first day of June and January preceding each of the above listed days respectively. The adjustment shall be computed by using the figure of 108.0 as equal to 100 and increases or decreases in the schedule of rates for refuse collection and standby service shall be $0.05 per unit per month for each increase or decrease of 5 full percentage points from the base on 108.0.
