(A) A company shall make a one-time permit fee payment for each permit requested in an amount determined by the city. The permit fee shall include an application fee for administrative costs, plus an additional amount to be computed according to the portion of public right-of-way being occupied, computed by length of area in 50-foot increments, and the duration of the permit. The city shall establish a table of permit fees, which shall be subject to approval by the City Council and a copy of which shall be maintained in the office of the City Administrator. The table of fees shall be amended annually and may be amended at other times as deemed necessary by the city.
(B) (1) The permit fee shall be determined so as to fully reimburse the city for all costs incurred as a result of the construction, installation or other work approved by a permit, including but not limited to the costs incurred in returning the public ground to its original condition.
(2) Should the construction, installation or other work approved by the permit decrease the useful life or value of the public ground, or should the same not be returnable to its original condition, the city may recover the decreased value, damage, cost or fees from the permit fee.
