(A) The costs incurred in processing an appeal of Banks Planning Commission land use decisions shall be paid by the appellant, to the City Recorder. These costs shall include:
(1) A $300 nonrefundable filing fee that shall be used to pay for the costs of the appeal. This fee does not include transcription costs;
(2) The cost of any request by the applicant for transcription of any recorded hearing; and
(3) All costs of the appeal exceeding the $300 filing fee. These costs will be billed to the appellant. This bill is payable by the appellant to the Banks City Recorder within 15 days of appellant’s receipt of the bill. It is understood under the terms of this resolution that the appellant is the person(s) filing the appeal.
(B) This section is necessary to secure sufficient funds to pay for the actual expenses incurred by the City of Banks to process appeals of land use decisions to the Banks City Council. Because the city does not have an ordnance to provide for the cost of land use appeals, an emergency exists to cover the costs. Thus this section shall be in full force and effect immediately upon passage by the Council and approval by the Mayor.
