The request for a refund must be made on a verified claim and signed by the original applicant within sixty days after such withdrawal or denial, whichever occurs first, and must be presented to the department or division of department to whom the fee was paid. This department shall then determine, from a schedule on file in the office of the Department of Building and Safety, the cost to the City of time spent or expenses incurred by the department or division. A report of the cost to the City and other relevant data pertaining to the permit, license or certificate shall be forwarded to the administrative officer for presentation to the Mayor and Common Council provided he finds said cost and data to be correct and proper in all particulars and approves the same. A refund shall be made to the applicant of that portion of the fee paid in excess of such cost.
