(a) It is hereby established that any charges against any private improvement project shall be based on the actual time spent in review of such plans and of engineering services provided during construction, as determined from engineering cost records of the Engineering Division.
(b) The subdivider, or his or her agent, is required to deposit with the City Auditor a sum of money in an amount established by City Council for plan review for each application, before a plan will be considered for review. Furthermore, the developer, or his or her agent, is required to deposit with the City Auditor a sum of money in the amount set forth in Chapter 109 of the Administrative Code, per lot, for inspection of the improvements, if the City Engineering Division is to make the required inspections per the subdivider's agreement. Periodic vouchers shall be drawn by the Engineering Division against this fund for the cost of engineering services as outlined. The right is reserved by the Engineering Division to call for additional deposits to this fund, from the developer, if the original deposit proves inadequate.
(c) When the City Engineer certifies that no further field engineering services will be required for the improvement, the City Auditor shall refund any balance remaining in the account to the developer.
