The applicant for the proposed off-site hazardous waste facility shall provide funding equal to the costs incurred by the city in staffing the Local Assessment Committee, including the costs of technical assistance grants described in the following subsections:
A. Technical Assistance Grants. If the LAC finds that it requires assistance and independent advice to adequately review a proposed hazardous waste facility proposal, it may request a technical assistance grant from the City to enable the LAC to hire consultant services. These services may include, but are not limited to, evaluation of documents and materials submitted in support of the application, or which are received from other agencies in the course of the review process, and assistance in negotiating with the project proponent on the terms and conditions under which the project may be acceptable to the community.
B. Fees for Technical Assistance Grants. The City shall collect from said proponent a fee equal to the amount of any technical assistance grant provided to the LAC. The city shall maintain records of all expenditures, and return any unused portion of said fee to the proponent upon completion of the LAC’s duties.
