B.

Investigation and notice of refusal. The application shall be forwarded to the director who shall cause an investigation to be made of the facts stated in the application and shall authorize the issuance of the location permit within ten days of the filing thereof, provided he or she makes the findings required by this article. Whenever the director refuses the location permit, he or she shall immediately notify the applicant, in writing, of this refusal.

C.

Fees and computation. A disposal fee, as set forth in section 9-56-10, and a location permit fee shall be charged to defray the costs necessary to provide places of disposal, necessary inspections and the cost of maintaining the general cleanliness of the city. The fees shall be chargeable to the location collected by the licensed private collector or the special private collector and paid to the city by the tenth of the month following the month services were provided by such collector. The owner or operator, when he or she requests the issuance of a location permit for private collections, shall agree to pay the location permit fee and disposal fee to be collected by the private collectors as provided herein. The location fee shall be as follows:

1.

$0.75 per apartment per month for apartment buildings and complexes;

2.

D.

Renewals. The location permit shall remain effective without express renewal until such time as the conditions under which the application was approved have changed to such an extent as to render the permit invalid with respect to the requirements of this section and section 9-56-20. When such location permits are determined by the director to be invalid the director shall immediately notify the applicant in writing.
