  1.8      Subd. 9.  [CITY OR TOWN FEE AUTHORITY.] (a) A city or town 
  1.9   located in a county that imposes a tax under this section may 
  1.10  impose a fee, not to exceed 30 cents per ton of aggregate 
  1.11  material produced in the city or town for which an aggregate 
  1.12  material production tax is due. 
  1.13     (b) The aggregate host fee imposed by a city or town must 
  1.14  be paid together with the county aggregate tax, but must be 
  1.15  reported separately as the city or town aggregate host fee by 
  1.16  the owner or operator or importer at the time of payment.  
  1.17  Cities or towns imposing the fee authorized by this subdivision
