The elements going into the calculation of the tipping fee are generally the COUNTY's costs of meeting its obligations hereunder. Exhibit F to this Agreement contains a summary of the elements of the COUNTY's costs of meeting its obligations. (b) The tipping fee for processable waste specified in Subsection (a) of this Section shall be increased on a one time basis by the Resource Recovery Board if prior to the beginning of operation of the initial northern and southern facilities of the resource recovery system including landfills and contingency landfills (i) a change in law or event of force majeure as defined in the construction contracts or service agreements.

Cc) The tipping fee for processable waste each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year beginning October It 1988, and each succeeding fiscal year thereafter shall be adjusted automatically yearly by adding to or subtracting from the then current fiscal year's tipping fee the amount obtained by multiplying such current tipping fee by the average change, expressed as a percentage. of the following two indices as determined as follows: 1. From the latest Producer (Wholesale) Price Index for Durable Goods for the region including Broward County, as determined and recorded by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, as available 150 days prior to the expiration of the fiscal year in which the calculation is being wade for the next fiscal year. subtract the amount of such index for the some date in the next preceding fiscal year. The difference shall be expressed as a percentage. -33- 2. The change, expressed as a percentage, for said period in the Consumer Price Index all urban consumers (CPI-U) for the region including Broward County. as determined and recorded by said Bureau of tabor Statistics, shall be similarly calculated. The percentage change of each of the foregoing indices so determined shall be added together.

(b), if during any fiscal year the gross revenues plus any service charge revenues are inadequate to allow COUNTY to meet its disposal obligation, the COUNTY shall notify the Chairman of the Resource Recovery Board in writing detailing the reasons for the revenue shortfall and requesting the Resource Recovery Board to impose or revise the service charge.
