Explanation
Background
Ordinance 0085-2002, passed on January 28, 2002 established both the rate of the pro-rata charge for administrative services and the list of funds required to pay pro-rata to the general fund. Most recently, ordinance 2293-2018, passed on September 24, 2018, repealed that ordinance and amended the list.
