The administrative and user fees in this chapter are in addition to any and all requirements of the applicable chapters relating to the substantive matters.

(c)

The provisions of this chapter shall be reviewed at least once every five (5) years by the city commission of the City of Coral Springs in order to determine whether any further adjustment is required of the administrative and user fees. Nothing however shall preclude the city from amending the provisions of this chapter from time to time.

(d)

The above notwithstanding, the provisions of this chapter shall be reviewed by the city commission on or before September 30, 2009 and thereafter the fees shall be increased biennially pursuant to section 3-1(b).
