(B)
			 The auditor of state may adjust the initial ranges of the total resources
			 and/or the monthly user fee based on an increase
			 or decrease in the number of local public offices that participate in the
			 uniform accounting network.
(C) For
			 any local public office that participates in the uniform accounting network but
			 has not been in existence for at least one full calendar year, the monthly
			 user fee shall be based on a reasonable
			 projection of the total resources as determined by the local public office and
			 the office of the auditor of state.
(D) In addition to the monthly
			 user fees described in paragraph (A) or (B) of
			 this rule, each local public office participating in the uniform accounting
			 network shall also pay a monthly hardware surcharge of fifty dollars to cover
			 the expense related to providing computer equipment to each participant. This
			 monthly hardware surcharge may be waived by the auditor of state.
(E) As used in this rule, "total resources"
			 means the sum from the prior year, for all funds other than
			 custodial funds, of the unencumbered beginning of the
			 year cash balances plus the total amount of all receipts and other financing
			 sources except interfund advances, transfers, and the proceeds from the sale of
			 bonds, notes, and other debt. The auditor of
			 state may exclude other funds or funding sources from the calculation of total
			 resources. The total resources will be calculated by the office of the auditor
			 of state for billing purposes.
(F)
			 The uniform accounting network monthly user fee
			 may increase or decrease effective April first of each year based upon each
			 local public office's total resources for the prior calendar year and the
			 corresponding monthly user fee in paragraph (A)
			 of this rule.
(G)
			 The auditor of state may waive the monthly user
			 fee and monthly hardware surcharge for a local
			 public office that participates in the uniform accounting network with a
			 population less than ten thousand that has been placed in fiscal emergency,
			 fiscal caution, or fiscal watch by the auditor of
			 state. The monthly user fee
			 and monthly hardware surcharge may be waived for
			 the duration of time that the entity is in fiscal emergency, fiscal caution, or fiscal watch and for twelve additional
			 months.
