later than April 2, 2016, for the rates effective on January 1, 2017, and every five years thereafter, the

adjustments adequately account for the actual increases or decreases in the Company's reasonable
operating costs; and

appropriate and the Company must cooperate with that investigation which may include the inspection
and copying of Company records and a Review or Audit of the Company's financial records by a City
retained Certified Public Accountant ("CPA"); and

City's website at http://www.citvofukiah.com/solidwastenotice/; and

pursuant to Ukiah City Code Section 3952, which has been publically available at
http://www.citvofukiah.com/solidwastenotice/ for not less than 10 days prior to the December 7, 2016,
