(a) A charge shall be imposed for all services in excess of two (2) hours of time which the Department of Public Works provides in relation to any contemplated project involving the improvement, division or development of property. A deposit shall be posted with the Department of Public Works after the initial two (2) hours of service to cover the cost of such services. The amount of the required deposit shall be established by the annual County Schedule of Fees and Charges Ordinance.

(b) The person requesting the service will be billed on a routine basis and the actual charges therefore deducted from the deposit.

(d) Upon written notice by the person requesting the service to the Department that no further service is needed, any balance remaining in the deposit shall be returned to said person. (Ord. 1615, § 1, 9/13/1983; Ord. 2673, § 1, 5/4/2021)
