and/or land development plans filed with the application for review. All such
records shall be public records.
Upon the filing of an application for preliminary and final approval of a subdivision and/or land development plan, the landowner or developer shall pay to the City Manager to the use of the city such fees as the City Council shall from time to time provide by ordinance or resolution in Chapter

engaged by the city to review and evaluate subdivision and land development
plans. The need for such professionals and the selection thereof shall be
determined solely by the City Council.
A. In the event that the applicant disputes the amount of
any such review fees, the applicant shall, within 10 days of the billing date,
notify the city that such fees are disputed; in which case the city shall
not delay or disapprove a subdivision or land development application due
