209. Escrow Deposits (To Top of Page | Back to Ordinance Contents)
209.01 Intent. Certain licensed and permitted activities carried on in the city require the assistance of the city engineer, city attorney, city planner, or other city personnel. As these activities primarily benefit private persons rather than the city as a whole, it is appropriate that the cost of these services be borne by those benefiting thereby. Sections 209.01 - 209.06 are intended to provide a method whereby this end will be furthered.
209.02 Escrow Deposit Required. Applications for subdivision approval, rezonings, conditional use permits, planned unit developments, zoning variances, sewer connection permits, liquor licenses, building permits, and other municipal considerations may require a cash deposit which shall be placed in an applicant's escrow account in an amount sufficient to pay all engineering, legal, and planning fees incurred by the city, and such other costs as may be made the applicant's responsibility, in connection with the application and the supervision, inspection and investigation of the permitted activity. The deposit shall be held in the account and shall be credited to the applicant making the deposit. All engineering, legal, and planning fees, and such other costs as may be made the applicant's responsibility, incurred in connection with an application shall be charged to the applicant's escrow account and credited to the city.
209.03 Fee Schedule. The council shall establish fees for services rendered by the city attorney, city engineer, city planner, and other city personnel. The fee schedule shall be provided to all persons making applications listed in 209.02 upon request.

Subdivision 1. Application. The application listed in 209.02 shall not be accepted or processed by the city unless accompanied by an escrow deposit as provided in this chapter.
Subd. 2. Deficits. If at any time it appears that a deficit will occur in any escrow account, the city administrator may then require an additional deposit in the escrow account sufficient to cover the additional expenses. Failure to make such additional deposits, or to pay to the city money owed for legal, engineering or other services for which the applicant is by ordinance made responsible in connection with an application in 209.02, shall be grounds for denial or revocation of the permit or license, or cessation of work on a particular project. Such permit or license shall be revoked only after a hearing preceded by ten days written notice.
209.06 Refund. Any money remaining in an applicant's escrow account after payment of all required engineering, legal, and other fees shall be returned to the applicant.
