the granting of a permit, nor the approval of the construction documents,

13.
106.1.1 Inspection placard. Work requiring a permit

of the Swimming Pool and Spa Code, shall subject the permit holder
to penalties as set forth in Section 107.4, and shall result in forfeiture
to the City of any funds deposited in escrow in connection with the
permit if the failure continues after thirty (30) days' written notice
sent by certified mail to the last known address of the permit holder,
in order to offset at least some of the costs incurred by the City
as a result of such continuing failure. The Building Official shall
be responsible for sending such notices, including to all permit holders
that have failed to make a timely request for a final inspection as
of the effective date of these provisions. Unless the permit holder
applies in signed writing for segregated investment of its escrow
deposit at the time of permit application, an escrow deposit may be
invested by the City with other municipal funds and any income derived
there from may be used for general revenue purposes at any time. If
the permit holder applies by timely signed writing for segregated
investment of its escrow deposit, the City shall segregate such funds
and invest them in the same manner as allowed for municipal funds,
to the extent practicable given the amount of the escrow; however,
no return is assured and the City shall have no liability whatsoever
other than to pay any income actually derived from such investment
in the event of return of such escrow deposit. In the event of a forfeiture
of an escrow deposit, any income from segregated investment shall
also be forfeited.
