3. Deposits:
An initial deposit is required for each actual cost project. The initial deposit is as specified in this ordinance. If no amount is specified, the initial deposit is the San Bernardino County Flood Control
District’s initial estimate of the actual cost of the project. The San Bernardino County Flood Control District may revise its estimate at any time during the processing of the project. If a revised
estimate is higher than a previous estimate, the San Bernardino County Flood Control District may require an additional deposit. Notice of any required additional deposit shall be mailed to the
applicant. The notice shall include the date by which the deposit must be made, and shall inform the applicant that unless provision for payment is made by the date specified, the application will
be deemed denied without prejudice, without further action by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District. Any such denial without prejudice is not appealable. Each estimate shall be the result of a
good faith attempt to determine the probable actual cost of the project based on the nature of the project, the District’s experience in processing projects, and applicable rates.
4. Applicant's obligation to pay actual cost:
The applicant shall pay the actual cost of the project, regardless of any estimate; except that the applicant is not obligated for costs incurred after the applicant delivers to the San Bernardino
County Flood Control District either an unconditional written withdrawal of the application, or a written notice to stop work which includes a waiver of any applicable time limits for processing the
application.
