It is the conclusion of the City Attorney that there are certain contradictions inherent in Chapter 16 . 42 of '- the Redding Municipal Code, which leaves a degree of doubt as to whether or not the $700 fee charged Mr. Cunningham is appro- priate. Mr. Hays stated he will suggest changes in the chapter in the near future. Mr. Hays stated that, in looking to the intent as expressed I/ under Section 16 .42 . 010 , it is his recommendation that Council authorize a refund to Mr. Cunningham in the amount of $550 , based on the belief that the construction tax ordinance was designed to collect, in the circumstance of Mr. Cunningham, an amount equal to the service involved installing the additional t meter. Based upon information received from the Building Department, the cost of the three phase meter, the trouble- shooter, and the equipment involved in placing and inspecting the service, results in a fee of $150 . Mr. Hays and Mayor Pugh indicated that they both received telephone calls from Mr. Cunningham prior to this meeting, t during which he advised that he felt he is entitled to the full $700 .
