210.01 REQUESTS FOR AUTHORIZATION, PERMISSION, PERMIT
SELECTION OR APPROVAL REQUIRING REVIEW BY THE
VILLAGE; PAYMENT REQUIRED; COSTS.
(a) In circumstances in which the Village is requested for an authorization, permission, permit selection of one person over another, or for any other approval requiring a review by one or more consultants who are not compensated on a regular Village salary basis, or a required review by a person who, as a consequence of the review, must be paid overtime, the person making the request for such authorization, permission, selection or approval shall be obligated to advance the monies required for such review or for the overtime increment, as the case may be.

(b) The amount of money required to be paid under subsection (a) hereof shall be reasonably related to the amount of costs and expenses to be incurred by the Village to complete the review.
(Ord. 96-129. Passed 7-8-96.)

210.02 ESCROW DEPOSITS; RECORDS OF BILLING AND PAYMENT.
(a) For purposes of administering this chapter, the Village may require an escrow of monies with the Village in an amount reasonably estimated to be required to cover the anticipated costs and expenses to be incurred in the review. Payments from such escrow shall be based upon a written billing of other written accounting for the review undertaken, and such written documentation shall be maintained for inspection by the person providing the funds.

(b) If it is determined that the amount in escrow is or will be inadequate to cover all of the review costs and expenses, the Village may require supplemental monies to be placed in escrow for completion of the review.

(c) To the extent an escrow exceeds the actual cost and expense of the review, as ultimately determined, the excess shall be returned to the person who posted the escrow. (Ord. 96-129. Passed 7-8-96.)


210.03 WAIVER OF FEES.
If a person does not have adequate funds to pay for the review as required under this chapter, the fees will be waived upon the filing of an affidavit of indigency, stating under oath that such person does not have adequate real or personal property to pay or secure all or any part of the funds.
(Ord. 96-129. Passed 7-8-96.)

210.04 APPEALS.
If a person who is called upon to escrow or otherwise pay monies under this chapter becomes aggrieved based upon the administration of this chapter, such person may appeal decisions made in the administration of this chapter to Council, provided that such appeal must be taken within twenty-one days of the decision to be appealed, by submitting a letter or other writing to the Village Clerk requesting the appeal within such time. (Ord. 96-129. Passed 7-8-96.)
