to read as follows:
Sec. 3.45.010 Established-Purpose.
A. The city council shall adopt, by resolution, a master fee schedule,
indicating therein the fees for all services, administrative acts
and other legally required fees, which resolution may be amended
from time to time and shall be effective upon first reading and
approval; provided, however, such resolutions may specify therein
their applicability, if any, to applications currently in the
process of review.
B. A copy of the master fee schedule shall be maintained in the office
of the city clerk and in each department of the city.
C. The fees set forth in the master fee schedule may be waived by
theWaiving Authority, as defined hereinbelow in Subsection D, in
accordance with the following procedures:
1. Any person requesting an abatement of a fee herein charged
shall request said abatement in writing, addressed to the
Waiving Authority, and shall set forth therein, with
specificity, the reasons for requesting said abatement of all
or any portion of the fees.
2. The Waiving Authority shall conduct a public hearing, notice
of which is not required to be published. Notice of said
public hearing shall be given to the applicant and to any
party or parties requesting notice of same.
3. Prior to abating all or any portion of a fee established in
the master fee schedule, the Waiving Authority shall find a
peculiar economic hardship or other injustice would result to
the applicant which outweighs, when balanced against, the
need of the City for revenue and the need for a uniform
method of recovering same from those against whom it is
imposed.
