Sec. 2-587. Fees.
(a) Except when specifically otherwise provided for by ordinance, fees for services performed by the city shall be promulgated by the department head, who shall submit such, together with supporting documents, to the city manager for approval prior to such fees becoming effective. Such fees shall become effective upon notice being given in the same manner as notice is given for the promulgation of regulations, as provided for in this Code.
