The borough shall collect all fees and costs as follows.
(A) Fees and costs (including overhead costs) shall include all personnel, equipment, materials and maintenance expenses as to provide for full reimbursement for charges by the borough and other public and private organizations for extraordinary services provided. A particular cost or fee schedule need not be set forth in this section or elsewhere in this subchapter or by further formal action by the Borough Council. The Borough Council’s approval of this section shall constitute authorization for the collection of all such fees and costs that are submitted to the borough by affected public and private organizations.
(B) Within 30 days from the date of the extraordinary or dangerous service, the affected public and private organizations shall submit their extraordinary service related costs, fees, charges and expenses to the Borough Council for review. At such time as the statements for all costs, fees, charges and expenses related to the extraordinary service have been collected and reviewed, but in any case not later than 60 days from the date of determining the combined cost of rendering extraordinary services, the Borough Council shall submit a bill, including the borough’s, for all costs, fees, charges and expenses, to the owner, agent or manager of the vehicle or fixed facility which caused the need for extraordinary services, with a demand that a full remittance be made within 30 days of receipt.
(C) In cases of hardship, or where circumstances are such that a full remittance cannot be made to the borough within the 30-day period, the Borough Council shall authorize the Borough Solicitor to enter into negotiations with the owner or his or her agent for an extended period for payment not to exceed six months.
(D) All monies received under the provisions of this subchapter shall be placed into the General Fund and payment made to all other public and private organizations which had submitted statements for costs, fees, charges and expenses, to the extent monies are collected, for providing the extraordinary service as outlined herein.
