A. Deposit-based, actual cost fees.

  1. Certain application functions within this chapter are designated as requiring deposit-based fees and are identified as such with the legend "Deposit-based Fee:" following the function title.

  2. For deposit-based fee functions only, fees collected in excess of the actual cost of providing the specific service shall be refunded. Applications whose work require a cost beyond the initial deposit shall require a supplemental deposit. Work on any application will cease when the deposit is depleted and will resume when supplemental deposits are received, and the account is in good standing.

  3. The county will draw against deposited funds on regular payroll accounting cycles and at the fully burdened hourly rates for each job classification required to provide a specified service. Hourly rates for services shall be established through the yearly budget process and adopted by the board of supervisors as part of the county budget public hearings. subject to all county procedures and all legal requirements applicable to such contracts, the county may contract with consultants to provide any specified service whenever it is determined necessary to provide such service, and the county may thereafter draw against deposited funds in the amount of the actual costs of such contract services.

  4. Deposits for applications will be collected upon submittal of the application. Deposits will be monitored and, when eighty (80) percent depleted, an analysis of the project will be done to determine if the remaining portion of the deposit will cover expected project completion costs. If costs are expected to exceed the remaining deposit in an amount of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or more, supplemental deposits will be required to be submitted to recover the estimated full cost for completion. Supplemental deposits will be determined on a case-by-case basis based on the estimated cost to complete the application.

  5. A full accounting of each application will be made within ninety (90) days of application's decision - and provided to the applicant. Remaining deposits of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or more will be refunded to the applicant.

  6. The property owner acknowledges that the applicant is authorized to submit this agreement and related application(s) for land use review or permit on this property. The property owner also acknowledges that should the applicant not reimburse the County of Riverside for all costs related to this application or permit; the property owner shall become immediately liable for these costs which shall be paid within fifteen (15) days of the service by mail of notice to said property owner by the county.

  7. When it is mutually agreed to by the applicant and the department or agency to which a fee applies, any fee not designated as a "Deposit-based Fee:" may be treated and accounted for as a deposit-based fee in the manner established in paragraphs 1. through 6. of these subsections.

B. Appeal procedure.
