Any person applying for a license shall pay to the Clerk, at the time the application is filed, an inspection fee. Such inspection fee shall be fixed and determined by the Council, adopted by resolution, and uniformly enforced. Such inspection fee may, from time to time, be amended by the Council by resolution. A copy of the resolution setting forth the currently effective inspection fee shall be kept on file in the office of the City Administrator, and be open to inspection during regular business hours. Payment of such inspection fee shall be by cash or by certified or cashier’s check payable to the City. In the event that a license is granted to the applicant, such inspection fee shall be credited to the license fee. In the event that a license is not granted to the applicant, such inspection fee shall not be refunded, but the same shall be credited to the General Fund of the City to defray the cost of the inspections required hereunder.
