3.11.130 Fees

Applications for a permit under this section shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable administrative application fee in an amount based on current rates specified from time to time by resolution of the Bad River Tribal Council. In addition, an applicant shall pay an additional escrow fee in an amount determined by the Bad River Natural Resources Department to pay for the estimated cost of outside consultant(s) who may be retained by the Bad River Tribe in connection with the review of the application. In the event the cost of the services of the consultant(s) is less than the escrow fee, the applicant shall be refunded the balance. In the event the cost of the services of the consultant(s) exceeds the amount of the escrow fee, the applicant shall pay the deficiency to the Bad River Natural Resources Department prior to the issuance of a permit. A denial of an application for a permit shall not affect the applicant's obligation to pay the escrow fee provided for in this ordinance.
