(3) A customer facility charge may be imposed notwithstanding the absence of authority in a regulation or concession agreement.
(4) A customer facility charge may not affect the validity or enforceability of a concession agreement.
(b) Amendment.--The following shall apply:

An increase to the customer facility charge under this paragraph may only occur one time each year.
(2) A city may decrease the amount of the customer facility charge at any time without the requirement of an amendment to an existing rental facility agreement. Following a decrease in the amount of the customer facility charge by the city, the city may increase the amount of the customer facility charge without the requirement of an amendment to an existing rental facility agreement if the amount of the customer facility charge does not exceed the amount that was in effect prior to the decrease. An increase beyond that amount shall require a written amendment to the existing rental facility agreement signed by the parties to the rental facility agreement or the parties' successors or assigns.
