15.48.120   Deposit and fees.
   A.   Each moving permit application shall be accompanied by a deposit. The amount of the deposit shall be based upon the size of the project and the amount of cleanup involved.
   B.   A basic fee shall be charged for each permit for any structure to be moved.
   C.   In addition to the basic fee, the city engineer shall determine when the interests of the city require that moving of the structure requires inspection by the city and assess a fee for each hour for such inspection.
   D.   The chief of police of the city shall determine when public interest, in terms of traffic hazard abatement, require convoy by police of the structure being moved. The charge for such convoy shall be based on the hourly rate for the personnel and equipment used.
   E.   The schedule of fees shall be those amounts established by resolution of the council adopted prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter and shall remain in effect until July 1, 1991. Effective July 1, 1991, and each succeeding July 1st thereafter, said schedule of fees shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula used by the city council to establish the expenditure control budget. If, in the determination of the city engineer, the adjustment of the schedule of fees produced by the above procedure is not representative of the actual change in costs of issuing the building relocation permit, the city engineer may, in lieu of the procedures set forth in this section, compute a new schedule of fees for adoption by resolution of the council. In the event of the adoption of a new schedule of fees by resolution of the council, such new schedule of fees shall become effective on adoption thereof by the council. The adjustment of such new schedule of fees shall begin the July 1st next occurring after adoption of the new schedule.
   F.   The foregoing fees, including the basic fee, shall be deducted from the deposit, and the balance remaining, if any, after completion of the moving of the structure to the new site, shall be returned to the permittee. If the total of such fees is greater than the deposit, the permittee shall pay all such fees.
   G.   No deposit shall be returned until all debris and litter has been removed and all utilities and sewers disconnected and/or capped to the satisfaction of the city engineer and chief building official. If such removal, disconnection and/or capping is not performed to his/her satisfaction within fifteen (15) days, he/she shall proceed without notice to remove, disconnect or cap as required, deducting the cost of same from the deposit.
