If, in the determination of the city engineer, the adjustment of the schedule of fees produced by the above procedure is not representative of the actual change in costs of issuing the building relocation permit, the city engineer may, in lieu of the procedures set forth in this section, compute a new schedule of fees for adoption by resolution of the council. In the event of the adoption of a new schedule of fees by resolution of the council, such new schedule of fees shall become effective on adoption thereof by the council.
