3. The oversight fee for each full-time equivalent charter student shall be established annually by the charter school review committee. This fee shall be an amount sufficient to pay all costs incurred annually by the city for its oversight of the charter school program as calculated by the department of administration apportioned equally to each charter school student in the charter school program. These costs shall include, but are not limited to, the hiring of consultants and the use of city staff, equipment and other materials. This fee shall be paid in the following installments:
