Application fees may be waived or reduced for just cause, including indigency of the offender, at the discretion of the city. Any determination of the indigency of the offender for purposes of program fee mitigation shall be made by the city, but any mitigation shall be done only upon the determination by the city that there is no reasonable likelihood within the reasonably foreseeable future that the offender will have the ability to pay the application fee.Ala.
