No budget, budget amendment, fee, or rate of the authority shall be effective before
the authority submits that budget, budget amendment, fee, or rate to the governing
body of the urban-county government as set out in this section.
The authority shall submit its budget, or any budget amendment, to the legislative
body of the urban-county government no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the
implementation of the budget or the budget amendment. No budget or budget
amendment shall be implemented without the approval of the legislative body of the
urban-county government.
(a) If the authority proposes the imposition of a new fee or rate or a fee or rate
that is higher than a fee or rate in effect at the time, then the authority shall
submit the proposed fee or rate to the legislative body of the urban-county
government no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the scheduled
implementation of that fee or rate.
(b) The governing body of the urban-county government shall have thirty (30)
days from the date of submission to:
1.
Approve or fail to act on the proposed fee, in which case the proposed
fee or rate may be implemented by the authority;
2.
Approve a fee in an amount less than the amount of the proposed fee or
rate, in which case the approved fee or rate amount may be implemented
by the authority; or
3.
Disapprove the entire proposed fee by a majority vote of the governing
body, in which case:
a.
If a proposed increase of an existing fee or rate is disapproved, any
fee then in existence shall remain unchanged, and the authority
shall not seek to increase the fee again for at least one (1) year
from the date of the submission of the disapproved fee or rate
increase; and
b.
If a proposed initial rate or fee is disapproved, the authority shall
not seek to impose the fee or rate again for at least one (1) year
from the date of the submission of the disapproved initial rate or
fee.
This section shall not be interpreted:
(a) As transferring any fee or rate-levying authority granted to the authority under
any other provision of the Kentucky Revised Statutes to the urban-county
government charged with reviewing fee or rates under this section; or
(b) To grant any fee or rate-levying power on behalf of the authority to the urbancounty government reviewing fees or rates proposed by the authority and
subject to review under this section.
This section shall apply independently of and in addition to any other statutory
requirements and provisions or ordinances of the urban-county government relating
to the levying of a fee or rate, or the submission of a budget of the authority,
(6)
including any rate limits and public hearing requirements. This section shall not be
interpreted to circumvent, supplant, or otherwise replace those requirements and
provisions.
This section shall not be interpreted as limiting the ability of any urban-county
government to impose reporting or submission requirements that are more stringent
than those established in this section.
