A permit fee not to exceed the city’s cost of processing a film permit application and the reasonable cost of related city services (including, but not limited, to law enforcement, traffic control, fire safety, trash hauling and attorney’s fees) may be established by resolution of the city council. The permit fee shall be paid before the permit is issued. The fee may include a deposit based on an estimate of the cost of the city services and a bond to ensure compliance with conditions that may be imposed upon the permit. In the event the actual costs are less than the deposit, the applicant shall be refunded the difference. In the event the actual costs exceed the deposit, the applicant will be billed by the city and shall pay for the excess. No permit shall be issued to an applicant who owes the city money on a prior permit. In the event that weather conditions or other circumstances beyond the control of the applicant require that the date(s) or times(s) of the proposed filming be altered, no additional application or fees shall be required because of such alteration of the date(s) or time(s) so long as the film permit coordinator is given reasonable notice of the revised date and time.
