and all review and monitoring incident to or in any way re-
lated to such reports) and certain building plan and bridge
installation plan reviews and inspections as explained in
Paragraph (E) herein) (hereafter, "review requests") , such
fee to be equal in amount to the city' s actual costs , in
terms of staff and outside fee consultants ' time expended in
e.. such review and processing, and a surcharge for certain re-
quested Fast-Tracking plan reviews and inspections as provided
i for in Paragraph (E) , including advertising and similar di-
rectly related charges.
i
(B) Persons who file any review request which necessi-
tates administrative or outside fee consultant review and
processing, shall pay prior to or at the time the review
request is made, an initial preliminary deposit which shall
be credited toward the fee charged for such review and pro-
cessing, and shall pay additional deposits as may be re-
quired from time to time.
(C) When the person pays the initial deposit , a finan-
cial account for said person' s review request (the "Project
Account") will be opened and maintained throughout the entire
review process until the person receives a Certificate of
Occupancy or the Building and Zoning Department determines
that no further city action is necessary for the review and
processing of the review request , at either of which times
the Project Account will be closed and any remaining funds
therein shall be refunded to the person depositing same no
later than two months after the Project Account ' s closing
date. The Project Account will be monitored on a periodic
i
basis. Whenever the account balance is zero or negative, a
supplemental deposit will be required before any further
t

review or processing continues . The person making the ini-
tial deposit will be notified when a supplemental deposit
will be required. The amount of the supplemental deposit will be fifty percent (50%) of the initial deposit. Several
supplemental deposits may be necessary depending on the
complexity of the review request.
(D) The staff of the various departments of the
City of Dania and the city' s outside fee consultants who are
involved in the review and processing of review requests
shall maintain records of the time expended and tasks con-
ducted regarding each such request. A debit based upon the
time expended and the Applicable Hourly Rate (plus a sur-
charge as provided in Paragraph (E) for certain requested
work on Fast-Tracking projects) shall be charged against the
Project Account. For purposes of this program, the Appli-
cable Hourly Rate shall be equal to a staff person' s actual
j hourly rate of pay (if such person is paid by the hour) or
i an approximate of his or her hourly compensation (based upon
weekly salary divided by forty (40) hours , together with an
additional factor reflecting said person' s hourly value of
fringe and pension benefits) , if said staff person is a
person who is compensated on a salary basis. The Applicable
Hourly Rate for review and processing by the city's outside
fee consultants shall equal their actual hourly charge for
such review and processing. A debit against the Project
Account shall also be made which shall reflect the costs of
administering this program, which charge shall be based upon
the actual effort involved for such administration.
(E) This authorized program shall not replace the
imposition and collection of Structure Permit fees , which
Building Permit fees shall be collected to defray the costs
Of up to two (2) non-priority structure plan reviews in a
normal single-plan review procedure or up to two (2) non-
priority plan reviews in a Fast-Tracking plan review pro-
cedure, and inspections which are not requested on a priority
basis and which are requested when the Building and Zoning
Department or Engineering Department is open during regular
hours (or during the regular business hours of any city out-
side fee consultant engineering firm) .
"Fast-Tracking" is defined as a method of construction
where plans for component parts of a structure are reviewed
+•-+�� ; on an as-being built basis (including pre and post permit
meetings with staff for such multiple plan critiques) .
i
When "Fast-Tracking" inspections or plan reviews are
requested on a priority basis , or when the same plan for a
component part of a structure is reviewed more than twice,
the Applicable Hourly Rate for staff and outside fee con-
sultants involved in such review and inspections , together
with a surcharge of such Applicable Hourly Rate(s) , (such
surcharge to be implemented, established and changed from
time to time by Resolution) , shall be assessed against the
Project Account of the person requesting such work.
When non-"Fast-Tracking" inspections or plan reviews
are requested on a priority basis , or when the same plan is
reviewed more than twice , the Applicable Hourly Rate for
staff and outside fee consultants involved in such reviews
and inspections shall be assessed against the Project Account
of the person requesting same.
The cost of any inspections (for "Fast-Tracking" and non-
'Fast-Tracking" development) which are requested when the
Building and Zoning Department or Engineering Department
I

would normally be closed (or outside of the regular business
hours of an city outside
Y Y e fee consultant engineering firm
shall be assessed against the Project Accounts of the person
requesting same.
(F) The amount of the initial deposit for the different
types of review requests shall be established, and from time
to time amended, by resolution of the city commission. It is
the express intent of the city commission and mayor of the
City of Dania, Florida, in enacting this cost recovery program
that the city' s costs of administrative and outside fee
consultant review and processing of review requests , as
required or necessitated now or in the future by the city' s
ordinances , resolutions , policies or procedures , shall be
borne by the person initiating the review request. To the
extent that this authorized program is not fully implemented
by resolution as provided, the fees and charges provided for
elsewhere in the Code of Ordinances immediately before the
! enactment of this ordinance for such unimplemented review
and processing, if any, shall be valid as not inconsistent with
this program, fully chargeable, levied and collected.
(G) This program shall not apply to review requests
which are originally initiated by or on behalf of the City
of Dania or another governmental entity acting in its
governmental capacity; such as , but not limited to,
Department of Transportation highway proposal commentary,
reviews of Broward County transportation improvements , re-
view of proposed amendments to the Broward County or local
Land Use Plans , and review of Developments of Regional Impact ;
provided however, that the initiating government entity does j
not charge the City of Dania for its review, processing
and comment upon Dania ' s review requests of a similar type or
nature.
(H) The preceding paragraph (G) shall not apply to review
requests which are initiated by another governmental entity or
agency acting in a corporate or proprietary capacity , such
action including , but not limited to, a governmental entity' s
review requests incident to the erection of buildings or
structures within Dania (such as post offices , libraries or
governmental office buildings) .
(I) Except as provided herein, any notification pro-
vided in this section for supplemental deposits from the
City of Dania to a person initiating a review request shall
be deemed sufficient if made by a telephone call to such person
or his or her agent with a confirming certified letter to
follow. It shall be the duty of persons initiating review
requests to provide on the filed review request a continuously
updated address and telephone number where said persons or
their agents can be reached for purposes of such notification.
If an attempt to notify a person initiating a review request
or his or her agent is frustrated because such furnished
phone numbers or addresses were not correct or up to date
when the notification attempt was made, such frustrated
attempt shall be deemed sufficient notice for purposes of
this section.
Section 2. That except as herein amended, all other provi-
sions of Chapter 28 shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 3. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause,
phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held in-
