(b) Of establishing a schedule of fees and charges. The City Council shall establish a schedule of fees, charges, and expenses and a collection procedure for building permits, certificates of zoning compliance, appeals, and other matters pertaining to this chapter. The schedule of fees shall be posted in the Finance Office and may be altered or amended only by the City Council.
