(b) Waiver. The Director of the Office on Disability may waive the fees received under this section where the project sponsor demonstrates in a written application that payment of such fees would present an undue financial hardship on the project sponsor.
(c) Adjustment of fees by the Controller. No later than July 1st of each year, the Controller shall adjust the fee schedule to ensure that: (1) each fee produces sufficient revenue to support each fee category's costs for the next year, and (2) each fee does not produce revenue which is projected to materially exceed each fee category's costs for the next year. The Controller shall provide a copy of any adjusted fee schedule under this Section 2A.22.1 to the Mayor's Office on Disability. The Mayor's Office on Disability shall post the adjusted fee schedule on its website. The Controller's annual adjustment shall become operative on July 1st of each year.
