Any person, firm, corporation or other entity having an appeal, or other item on the agenda of the Mayor and City Council may request a continuance of such item by submitting a request therefor to the City Clerk prior to the item being heard. Such request must be accompanied by a processing fee established by resolution of the Mayor and City Council. The granting of a continuance shall be subject to the complete discretion of the Mayor and City Council taking all of the facts and circumstances of the matter into consideration. If the request for continuance is received by telephonic communication or other means where the requester is not present, the continuance may be granted subject to the receipt of the processing fee prior to the new agenda date. Should the request for a continuance be denied any processing fee paid shall be returned upon application made by the payor within ninety (90) days. Any subsequent request for a continuance shall require an additional fee.
The fee provided for by this ordinance and set by any resolution adopted pursuant thereto shall not apply to any continuance requested by the City, any department or officer thereof or by any agency or other entity which is funded primarily by the City.
