(A) Notwithstanding the terms thereof, in the event the Council is not presented with the information upon which actual costs of service can be determined, the Council may automatically adjust fees if the adjustment is based on a nationally recognized inflator index applicable to the cost of the necessary service since the date the fees were last adjusted or were established. The present and proposed fees and charges shall be available for review in the office of the City Clerk.

(B) Fees will be reviewed and revised on an ongoing basis to ensure they are consistent with changes in the cost of living as well as changes in methods or levels of service delivery. In implementing this goal, a comprehensive analysis of City costs and fees should be made at least every five years. In the interim, fees may be adjusted by annual changes in the Consumer Price Index. (Ord. 10-1202, passed 5-10-10)
