(a) Upon any failure to post deposit funds to defray Municipal overhead, as herein provided, the Planning Commission, Plan Review Board, Board of Zoning Appeals or Council may dismiss any application.
(b) Nothing herein shall obligate the City to grant its approval of an application or be construed as consideration therefore, but rather the deposit shall serve the purpose that the City shall continue to be governed by its officials’ informed and intelligent vote upon each specific appeal and with the direction that such funds are to be applied to furnish the City with necessary technical data from professional Municipal consultants when requested or required by it on specific applications or to defray necessary advertising and/or other administrative expenses regardless of the outcome of the final disposition of the request or proposal of the applicant.
