Any person may request an audit to determine if any fee levied by the city exceeds the amount reasonably necessary to cover the cost of such service. In such event the city will hire an independent auditor to make such determination, the expense of said auditor to be paid by the person making the request. Prior to initiating the audit, the person making the request shall deposit with the city clerk the city's estimated cost of such audit, and shall deposit additional funds as may be necessary to pay for such audit immediately upon request by the city. Failure of any person requesting an audit to deposit the necessary funds within five days of request by the city shall authorize the city to terminate the audit.
