5.05.120 Departmental service fees.

(A) In addition to the nonrefundable permit application fee, any user fees or other fees prescribed by resolution of the city council, an applicant shall pay the city for all city department service charges incurred in connection with, or due to, the applicant's activities under the special event or temporary outdoor promotion permit. If city property is destroyed or damaged by reason of the applicant's use, event or activity, the applicant shall reimburse the city for the actual replacement or repair cost of the destroyed or damaged property.

(B) Departmental service fees will be established by a separate city council resolution, and will reflect the city's full cost of providing personnel on an hourly basis at rates established in accordance with city personnel rules and regulations and conditions contained within memoranda of understanding between the city and employee labor organizations.

(C) At least two days prior to a special event or temporary outdoor promotion permitted under this chapter, the applicant shall pay to the city a deposit in an amount sufficient to cover the total estimated city departmental service charges identified pursuant to this section that will be incurred by the city in connection with the special event or temporary outdoor promotion. The deposit shall be paid in cash or other adequate security, as determined by the city manager. An applicant may appeal pursuant to Section 5.05.100 the amount of the deposit determined under this section.

(D) City departments shall submit the final invoices and billings for departmental service charges to the applicant no later than twenty working days after the expiration date of the special event or temporary outdoor promotion permit. If the deposit is less than the final charges, the applicant shall pay the difference to the city within ten working days of being invoiced for such charges from the city. If the deposit is more than such final charges, the city shall refund the difference to the applicant within the sixty days after the event.

(E) Any indigent natural person who cannot apply for a special event permit because of an inability to pay the required departmental service charges due to such indigence shall not be required to pay the departmental service charges set forth in this section. Application for indigent status shall be made at the time of submission of the special event application and shall be accompanied by such relevant information and documentation as may, in the opinion of the city manager, be reasonably necessary to verify such status.
