The following shall be an established policy of the City of Corpus Christi, from the date of adoption of this ordinance, to establish and fix a fee to be charged recipient of elevation information from City records for purposes of establishing property elevations for flood insurance purposes or for any other purpose. Federal Flood Insurance coverage and other flood insurance coverage available in the City requires that elevations of property be determined to establish policy premium rates. Construction records and "As— Built" subdivision plane available in the office of the Director of Engineering and Physical Development contain elevation information considered sufficient to establish policy premium rates, said elevation information being related to mean sea level in the Corpus Christi area. The retrieval of such information from microfilm records and other records, plus other adminis- tration time spent in preparing letters attesting to this information, involves considerable time. For this reason, a fee will be charged to individuals, parties, firms, companies or others desiring such information as follows: (1) The Director of Engineering and Physical Development shall charge a fee of $10.00 to those parties desiring such elevation information,and shall attest to such information from City records in writing. (Z) The information furnished shall be from the City of Corpus Christi Survey Control Datum, said Datum being the United States 12915 Coast and Geodetic Survey Datum. (3) Information furnished shall be only from stored record material i.e., the City will not use City Survey forces to establish, verify or provide property elevation. (4) When such information is available from City records, and upon such request from a party, accompanied by a check or cash in the amount of $10.00, the Director of Engineering and Physical Development shall, within 3 working days, reply in writing with the elevation information to the party requesting same. Such written reply will contain the building line elevation of property or the top of curb elevation abutting property. In the event City records do not contain accurate elevation information, the requesting party will be so informed and the fee tendered will be returned. To obtain the above information from the City, a party, firm or company shall: (a) Request the elevation of property, complete with legal description, either verbally or in writing to the director of Engineering and Physical Development. Said request is to be accompanied by the required $10.00 fee. (b) Upon complying with (a) above, the Director of Engineering and Physical Development shall, within three (3) working days, either furnish in writing, the required information or return the fee tendered, if City Records do not contain the desired information. Fees collected for this service shall be deposited in an appropriate General Fund revenue account to be determined by the Director of Finance. SECTION 2.
