A. Any application for a Pass Through Telecommunications System shall include an application fee as determined by the City Manager or his or her designee, and based on amounts established by City Council resolution, to cover the cost of all direct and indirect administrative expenses and staff efforts, including consultants and attorneys, necessary to adequately analyze the application. In addition, the applicant shall reimburse the City for all out-of-pocket processing costs, which shall include, but not be limited to, costs of publications of notices, development and publication of relevant agreements, travel expenses, and any other out-of-pocket expenses not covered by the application fees, incurred by the City in its study and evaluation of the application. Should it be determined that the actual cost of processing the application exceeds the amount of the fee paid, the City Manager shall require an additional amount to be paid by the applicant before the application processing continues.
B. Said application fee shall be separate from and in addition to any fees for engineering or other plan reviews, and the costs of construction and/or building permits. No portion of the fee shall be considered a tax or any portion of compensation or revenue due to the City under this Chapter, or any other local, state or federal law for use of the public rights-of-way.
