955.05 REFUND OF FEES.
   It is declared to be the policy of the City to establish a practice of refunding moneys paid and deposited with the City as fees paid into the Parks and Recreation Department when it clearly appears to the Director of Parks and Recreation that the reason for which the fee was paid and the permit granted has been abandoned by the holder thereof or has become moot for any reason whatsoever and when the permittee has requested a refund from the City. In these instances, the Director of Parks and Recreation may authorize a return of the whole or a lesser amount of the funds advanced in payment for the recreation permit. However, in all events the actual overhead costs incurred by the City to the date of the refund shall be deducted from the moneys paid and the balance remitted to the permittee, after which time the permit shall be considered as officially lapsed. The Director of Finance is authorized and directed to make the refunds when and as the same are approved in writing by the Director of Parks and Recreation and in the amounts specified in the written approval of the refund.
