§1019. Fees and charges

When any such political subdivision has issued bonds or other debt obligations and pledged the revenues of any work of public improvement in whole or in part for payment thereof, it shall impose and collect fees and charges for the products, commodities, and services furnished by such work of public improvement, including those furnished to the subdivision itself and its various agencies and departments, in such amounts and at rates as shall be sufficient at all times to pay the expenses of operating and maintaining the work of public improvement; provide a sinking fund sufficient to assure the prompt payment of principal and interest on the bonds or other debt obligation as each falls due; provide such a reasonable fund for contingencies as may be required by the resolution authorizing the bonds or other debt obligation and provide an adequate depreciation fund for those repairs, extensions, and improvements to the work of public improvement as may be necessary to assure adequate and efficient service to the public. No board or commission other than the governing body of the political subdivision shall have authority to fix or supervise making of such fees and charges.
