A. 
The Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Board of Architectural Review and the Board of Trustees, in review of any applications as described within the Code of the Village of Pomona, may refer any such application to such engineering, planning, environmental, landscape, architectural or other appropriate professional or technical consultant as such Board shall deem necessary to enable it to review such application as required by law. The fees charged by such consultants shall be in addition to the fees set forth in the fee schedule adopted by the Board of Trustees[1] and such other fees as may be required by law and shall be reimbursed to the Village by the applicant. At the time an application is filed with the Village Clerk, the applicant shall deposit an escrow in the amount set forth in the fee schedule in addition to the application fee set forth in said fee schedule. Consultants' fees shall be charged against said escrow deposits. Escrows shall be replenished by the applicant, as needed, upon notification thereof by the Village Clerk. Any amounts remaining in said escrow accounts shall be reimbursed to the applicant at the conclusion of the application process.

B. 
Site inspection fees for subdivisions shall be paid prior to signing of any subdivision and shall be in the amount set forth in the fee schedule adopted by the Board of Trustees. Engineering and other consultants' fees incurred by the Village for inspections in connection with site plans and building permits shall be reimbursed to the Village by the property owner. Prior to the signing of any site plan or the issuance of a building permit, as the case may be, the property owner shall deposit with the Village Clerk an escrow in the amount set forth in the Village fee schedule. Consultants' fees shall be charged against said escrow deposit. Escrows shall be replenished by the property owner as needed, upon notification thereof by the Village Clerk. Any amounts remaining in the escrow account shall be reimbursed to the property owner upon completion of all required work on said property.
C. 
No application shall be placed on the agenda of the respective Board unless the application fee and escrow have been paid by the applicant. In the event the escrow deposit is insufficient to reimburse the Village for the aforesaid consultants' fees, said fees shall be billed to the applicant sent by regular mail to the applicant's last known address. In the event said fees are not paid within 60 days of the date of such notice of payment due, the Board of Trustees shall hold a public hearing, upon 10 days' notice to the applicant, to determine if said fees shall become a lien on the real property which is the subject of the application. In addition, the Board of Trustees may authorize legal action to recover said fees.
