For the disposal of sewage hereafter col.,lected I)y tare City and, delivered to 24etro the City shall pay to i4etro on or before the last day of each month during the term of this agreerna-nt, a sewage disposal charge determined as provided in this S, -01 1. For the quarterly periods 'i4arch 31, June 30 , September 30 and Decealtbur 31 of each Year every Participant shall submit a written report to setting forth (a) the number of Residential Custoitiers billed by such Participant for local sewerage charges as of the last day of the quarter , (b) the total number of all customers billed by such Participant as of sucli day and (c) the total water consumption during ,such quarter for all customers billed by such Participant other than residential Customers .

Metro shall maintain a permanent record, of the quarterly customer reports from each Participant TAe City' s first quarterly rer)ort shall cover the first quarterly period followinc.-J the c'Iate ahen sewage is first delivered to ,Aetro and shall be submitted within thirty days following the end of the quarter. Succeeding reports s,,Iiall be rtia(-��e for eacil quarterly period thereafter and sisal be sul)iiii-tted within tliirty (30) clays following the end of the quarter. 4 2. a) To form a basis for determining the monthly sewage disposal charge to be paid by each Participant during any particular quarterly period, Metro shall ascertain the number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of each Participant. This determination shall be made by taking the sum of the actual number of Residential Customers reported as of the last day of the next to the last preceding quarter and the average number of Residential Customer equivalents per quarter reported for the four quarters ending with said next to the last preceding quarter, adjusted for each Participant to eliminate any Residential Customers or Residential Customer equivalents whose sewage is delivered to a governmental agency other than Metro or other than a Participant for disposal outside of the Metropolitan Area. The number thus determined is hereinafter called the "basic reported number. " b) For the initial period until the City shall have submitted six consecutive quarterly reports , the basic reported number of Residential Customers and Residential customer equivalents of the City shall be determined as provided in this subparagraph (b) . On or before the tenth day of each month beginning with the month prior to the month in which sewage from the City is first delivered to Metro, the City shall submit a written statement of the number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents estimated to be billed by the City during the next succeeding month. For the purpose of determining the basic reported number of Residential Customers. or .Reridential Customer equivalents of the City for such next succeeding month, Metro may at its discretion adopt either such estimate or the actual number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents reported by the City as of the last day of the next to tile last preceding reported quarter. After the City shall nave furnished six consecutive quarterly reports 5 the basic reported number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of the City shall be determined as provided in the immediately preceding subparagraph (a) . c) If the City shall fail to submit the required monthly and/or quarterly reports when due, Metro may make its own estimate of the number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of the City and such estimate shall constitute the basic reported number for the purpose of determining sewage disposal charges . d) The basic reported number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of the City shall be further adjusted by adding thereto twenty-five per cent (25%) of the number of Residential Customers or Residential Customer equivalents of the City located outside the present boundaries of Metro. The sum thus determined is hereinafter called the "adjusted reported number. " If all of the area located within the City or any area located outside the City and served into its Local Sewerage Facilities shall be annexed to Metro at any time after the date of this agreement or if the twenty-five per cent additive adjustment shall have been paid by the City for a period of ten years, said additive adjustment shall be eliminated effective as of the first day of the month following such annexation as to the number of Residential Customers or Residential Customer equivalents located within such annexed area and in any event shall be eliminated entirely upon the tenth anniversary of the date when sewage disposal charges shall have first been paid to LAetro by the City. If the additive adjustment described above shall not be applied to the Residential Customers or Residential Customer equivalents of any other Participant located outside of the present boundaries of Metro under any future agreement between Metro and such Participant or shall be applied in a lesser amount, then 6 the additive adjustment described in this paragraph (d) shall be correspondingly reduced or deleted. The adjusted reported number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of the City shall be the number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents reported by the City for the purpose of determining sewage disposal charges pursuant to Paragraph 3 of this section. 3 . The monthly sewage disposal charge payable to Metro shall be determined as follows : a) Prior to July 1st of each year 14etro shall determine its total monetary requirements for the disposal of sewage during the next succeeding calendar year. Such requirements shall include the cost of administration, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the 14etropolitan Sewerage System, establishment and maintenance of necessary working capital and reserves, the requirements of any resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds of Metro to finance the acquisition, construction or use of sewerage facilities, plus not to exceed 1% of the foregoing requirements for general administrative overhead costs. b) To determine the monthly rate per Residential Customer or Residential Customer equivalent to be used during said next succeeding calendar year, the total monetary requirements for disposal of sewage as determined in subparagraph 3 (a) of this section shall be divided by twelve and the resulting quotient shall be divided by the total number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of all Participants for the October-December quarter preceding said July lst; provided, however, that the monthly rate shall not be less than Two Dollars ($2 . 00) per month per Residential Customer or Residential Customer equivalent at any time during the period ending July 31, 1972. c) The monthly sewage disposal charge paid by each Participant to Metro shall be obtained by multiplying the monthly rate by the number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents 7 of the Participant. An additional charge may be made for sewage or wastes of unusual quality or composition requiring special treat- ment, or Metro may require pretreatment of such sewage or wastes . An additional charge may be made for quantities of storm or ground waters entering those Local Sewerage Facilities which are constructed after January 1, 1961 , in excess of the minimum standard established by the general rules and regulations of Metro. 4 . A statement of the amount of the monthly sewage disposal charge shall be submitted by metro to each Participant on or before the first day of each month and payment of such charge shall be due on the last day of such month. If any charge or portion thereof due to Metro shall remain unpaid for fifteen days following its due date, the Participant shall be charged with and pay to Metro interest on the amount unpaid from its due date until paid at the rate of 6% per annum, and Metro may, upon the failure of any Participant to pay such amount, enforce payment by any remedy available at law or equity. 5. The City irrevocably obligates and binds itself to pay its sewage disposal charge out of the gross revenues of the sewer system of the City. The city further binds itself to establish, maintain and collect charges for sewer service which will at all times be sufficient to pay all costs of maintenance and operation of the sewer system of the City, including the sewage disposal charge payable to Metro hereunder and sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on any revenue bonds of the City which shall con- stitute a charge upon such gross revenues. It is recognized by Metro and the City that the sewage disposal charge paid by the City to Metro shall constitute an expense of maintenance and operation of the sewer system of the City. The City shall provide in the issuance of future sewer revenue bonds of the City that 8 expenses of maintenance and operation of the sewer system of the City shall be paid before payment of principal and interest of such bonds. The City shall have the right to fix its own schedule of rates and charges for sewer service provided that same shall produce revenue sufficient to meet the covenants contained in this Agreement. Section 6 . Responsibility of City. The City shall be responsible for the delivery to the Metropolitan Sewerage System of sewage collected by the City, for the construction, maintenance and operation of Local Sewerage Facilities , and for the payment of all costs incident to the collection of such sewage and its delivery to the Metropolitan Sewerage System. Section 7. Records. Permanent books and records shall be kept by Metro and the City of the respective rates established, the volumes of sewage delivered and discharged into the Metropolitan Sewerage System wherever such volumes are measured and the number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents reported. In addition Metro shall keep complete books of account showing all costs incurred in connection with the Metropolitan Sewerage System, and the City shall keep complete records showing the amount billed to each of its customers for sewer service and the basis used for such billing including sewage flow and water consumption for each customer where applicable. The records required by this paragraph shall be available for examination by either party at any reasonable time. Section 8. Development of 14etr22olitan Sewerage System. It is contemplated that the Metropolitan Sewerage System will be developed in stages and, except as provided in Section 9 hereof, the nature of all facilities of the .,Ietropolitan Sewerage System to be constructed, acquired or used and the time of such construction, acquisition or use shall be deter'.,iiined in the sole discretion of Metro, 9 it being contemplated that Metro shall ultimately provide sewage disposal service for the entire 14etropolitan Area and such adjacent areas as may feasibly be served into the ',14etropolitan Sewerage System.

Amendment of Section 5 of the Basic Agreement. Section 5 of the Basic Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: "Section 5. Payment for Sewage Disposal. For the disposal of sewage hereafter collected by the City and delivered to Metro the City shall pay to Metro on or before the last day of each month during the term of this Agreement, a sewage disposal charge determined as provided in this Section 5. 1. For the quarterly periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year every Participant shall submit a written report to Metro setting forth: (a) the number of Residential Customers billed by such Participant for local sewerage charges as of the last day of the quarter, (b) the total number of all customers billed for local sewerage charges by such Participant as of such day, and (c) the total water consumption during such quarter for all customers billed for local sewerage charges by such Participant other than Residential Customers. The quarterly water consumption report shall be taken from water meter records and may be adjusted to exclude water which does not enter the sanitary facilities of the customer. Where actual sewage flow from an individual customer is metered, the metered sewage flows shall be reported in lieu of adjusted water consumption. The total quarterly water consumption report in cubic feet shall be divided by 2, 250 to determine the number of Residential Customer equivalents represented by each Participant's customers other than single family residences. Metro shall maintain a permanent record of the quarterly customer reports from each Participant. 2 The City's first quarterly report shall cover the first quarterly period following the date when sewage is first delivered to Metro and shall be submitted within thirty days following the end of the quarter. Succeeding reports shall be made for each quarterly period thereafter and shall be submitted within thirty (30) days following the end of the quarter. 2 . (a) To form a basis for determining the monthly sewage disposal charge to be paid by each Participant during any particular quarterly period, Metro shall ascertain the number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of each Participant. This determination shall be made by taking the sum of the actual number of Residential customers reported as of the last day of the next to the last preceding quarter and the average number of Residential Customer Equivalents per quarter reported for the four quarters ending with said next to the last preceding quarter, adjusted for each Participant to eliminate any Residential Customers or Residential Customer equivalents whose sewage is delivered to a governmental agency other than Metro or other than a Participant for disposal outside of the Metropolitan Area. (b) For the initial period until the City shall have submitted six consecutive quarterly reports, the reported number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of the City shall be determined as provided in this subparagraph (b) . On or before the tenth day of each month beginning with the month prior to the month in which sewage from the City is first delivered to Metro, the City shall submit a written statement of the number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents estimated to be billed by the City during the next succeeding month. For the purpose of determining the basic reported number of Residential Customers and 3 Residential Customer equivalents of the City for such next succeeding month, Metro may at its discretion adopt either such estimate or the actual number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents reported by the City as of the last day of the next to the last preceding reported quarter. After the City shall have furnished six consecutive quarterly reports the reported number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of the City shall be determined as provided in the immediately preceding subparagraph (a) . (c) If the City shall fail to submit the required monthly and/or quarterly reports when due, Metro may make its own estimate of the number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of the City and such estimate shall constitute the reported number for the purpose of determining sewage disposal charges. 3 . The monthly sewage disposal charge payable to Metro shall be determined as follows: (a) Prior to July 1st of each year Metro shall determine its total monetary requirements for the disposal of sewage during the next succeeding calendar year. Such requirements shall include the cost of administration, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Metropolitan Sewerage System, establishment and maintenance of necessary working capital and reserves, the requirements of any resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds of Metro to finance the acquisition, construction or use of sewerage facilities, plus not to exceed 1% of the foregoing requirements for general administrative overhead costs. (b) To determine the monthly rate per Residential. Customer or Residential Customer equivalent to be used during said next succeeding calendar year, the total monetary requirements for disposal of sewage as determined 4 in subparagraph 3 (a) of this section shall be divided by twelve and the resulting quotient shall be divided by the total number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of all Participants for the October- December quarter preceding said July 1st; provided, however, that the monthly rate shall not be less than Two Dollars ($2 . 00) per month per Residential Customer or Residential Customer equivalent at any time during the period ending July 31, 1972 . (c) The monthly sewage disposal charge paid by each Participant to Metro shall be obtained by multiplying the monthly rate by the number of Residential Customers and Residential Customer equivalents of the Participant. An additional charge may be made for sewage or wastes of unusual quality or composition requiring special treatment, or Metro may require pretreatment of such sewage or wastes. An additional charge may be made for quantities of storm or ground waters entering those Local Sewerage Facilities which are constructed after January 1, 1961 in excess of the minimum standard established by the general rules and regulations of Metro. 4 . The parties acknowledge that, by resolution of the Metropolitan Council, Metro may impose a charge or charges directly on the future customers of a Participant for purposes of paying for capacity in Metropolitan Sewage Facilities and that such charges shall not constitute a breach of this agreement or any part thereof. The proceeds of said charge or charges, if imposed, shall be used only for capital expenditures or defeasance of outstanding revenue bonds prior to maturity. In the event such a charge or charges are imposed, . the City shall, at Metro's request, provide such information regarding new residential customers and residential customer 5 equivalents as may be reasonable and appropriate for purposes of implementing such a charge or charges. 5. A statement of the amount of the monthly sewage disposal charge shall be submitted by Metro to each Participant on or before the first day of each month and payment of such charge shall be due on the last day of such month. If any charge or portion thereof due to Metro shall remain unpaid for fifteen days following its due date, the Participant shall be charged with and pay to Metro interest on the amount unpaid from its due date until paid at the rate of 6% per annum, and Metro may, upon failure to pay such amount, enforce payment by any remedy available at law or equity. 6. The City irrevocably obligates and binds itself to pay its sewage disposal charge out of the gross revenues of the sewer system of the City. The City further binds itself to establish, maintain and collect charges for sewer service which will at all times be sufficient to pay all costs of maintenance and operation of the sewer system of the City, including the sewage disposal charge payable to Metro hereunder and sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on any revenue bonds of the City which shall constitute a charge upon such gross revenues. It is recognized by Metro and the City that the sewage disposal charge paid by the City to Metro shall constitute an expense of the maintenance and operation of the sewer system of the City. The City shall provide in the issuance of future sewer revenue bonds of the City that expenses of maintenance and operations of the sewer system of the City shall be paid before payment of principal and interest of such bonds. The City shall have the right to fix its own schedule of rates and charges for sewer service provided that same shall produce revenue sufficient to meet the covenants contained in this Agreement. 6 Section 2 . Effective Date of Amendment. This amendment shall take effect at the beginning of the first quarter following the date first written above with quarters beginning January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. Section 3 Basic Agreement Unchanged. Except as otherwise provided in this amendment, all provisions of the basic agreement shall remain in full force and effect as written therein. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first written above.
