A substitute ordinance amending section 10.20.240 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws to change the disposition of funds derived from tip fees for solid waste and reallocating funds.

Whereas, Section 10.20.240 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws sets out the distribution and use of the funds derived from the tip fees established by Sections 10.20.200-10.20.230 of the Code; and

Whereas, it is in the best interest of the Metropolitan Government to redistribute the use of said fees.
