Each City official obtaining fees and deposits under the provisions of this chapter shall forthwith deposit all such sums and all bonds or insurance policies with the Clerk of Council. Upon refusal of the Safety Director to issue a permit, the Safety Director shall immediately notify the Clerk and the applicant shall be entitled to all deposits, bonds and insurance policies except for the minimum permit fee specified in Section 1464.03. After the building operation has been completed, the Safety Director shall furnish the Mayor with a written statement of all expenses incurred in removing and replacing all property belonging to the City. The Safety Director shall also notify the Mayor of the names and addresses of all persons other than the City who were thought to have incurred expenses as a result of the moving operation or for whom the expense deposit required by Section 1464.04 was being held. When it appears to the reasonable satisfaction of the Mayor that the reasonably claimed expenses of all such parties have been paid by the applicant, then the total amount of the expense deposit, less the amount of expense incurred by the City, shall be returned to the applicant. Cash held as a general cash deposit under Section 1464.05 shall be released in the same fashion as required for release of a surety bond if one had been furnished in lieu of the general cash deposit. Any unused portion of the permit fee deposit shall be returned not later than the date on which the general cash deposit is released or the surety is released.
In the event that a claim is made by any party other than the City against the expense deposit or the general cash deposit, such fund shall be held in trust by the City until the eventual disposition of the matter by agreement of the parties or by order of Court.
