In the event a utility maintaining and operating a natural gas distribution system within the city desires to change its rates for retail non-contract firm natural gas service within the city, other than to reflect an adjustment for the cost of purchased gas, the utility shall file with the City Clerk an application for a change of rates by the City Council, which shall be signed by the president or other officer authorized by the board of directors of the utility. Commencing on June 3, 1987, a filing fee in the amount of $1,000 shall be paid to the City Clerk with the rate filing. The rate filing shall be deemed filed upon receipt of the same, together with the filing fee, by the City Clerk.
