(2) To provide for the establishment, operation, and maintenance of centralized waste plants, necessary pickup stations, and for the acquisition or lease of necessary property, including land or equipment for waste composting, recycling, and reduction. However, the board may enter into a cooperative agreement with other public authorities or agencies for the same.
(3) To promulgate rules governing the conduct of the operations of the authority.
(4) To employ, dismiss, and establish policies and procedures for necessary personnel.
(5) To enter contracts to effectuate the provisions of this Chapter.

(8) To provide exclusively for fees related to solid waste composting, collection, transportation, and recycling. The board shall assure that all such fees charged shall fairly and accurately reflect the true cost of services provided. The authority may not impose fees without the concurrence of the governing authority of the affected parish or parishes.
B. However, nothing herein shall be construed to authorize the authority to abrogate existing contracts for the collection or transportation of solid waste or any extensions of such contracts authorized pursuant thereto.
