County Commissioners cause the CITY's operating fee to exceed the previous year's annual
operating fee plus the CPI.
7. The intent of this Agreement is to allow the CITY to participate in SCRAPS, a regional

jurisdictions share equitably in the costs and revenues. If any city, town, or other
governmental jurisdiction is offered more favorable terms than those offered to the CITY
in this Agreement, excluding debt for governmental jurisdictions with a population of
less than 20,000 inhabitants and excluding start-up costs, then those same terms shall also
be offered to the CITY at the same time. If any jurisdiction receiving Services from

provided by SCRAPS may be reduced accordingly and neither the COUNTY, nor any

the payment is due.
