(A) Every publication that places or utilizes a newspaper dispensing device on the streets of the city shall provide a name, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number of such publication in a place on the device where it can be readily seen.
(B) In addition to fines and penalties established for violations of this Code, if any newspaper dispensing device is installed, used, abandoned, or maintained in violation of the provisions of this section, the Building Director shall provide written notice to the owner of the newspaper dispensing device, by certified mail, and if the device is not used, removed, or placed so as to be in conformance with this section, within five business days from the date of such notice, the device may be removed and stored in a convenient place by the city. If the owner of the device is unknown, or if the placement of the device creates a danger to the public, the city may immediately remove it and store it in any convenient place as provided herein. The city shall then take reasonable steps to notify the owner of the newspaper dispensing device. Upon failure of any owner to claim a device which has been removed and stored by the city within 15 days, and pay the city's expenses for such removal and storage, such devices shall be deemed to be unclaimed property in possession of the city and may be disposed of pursuant to state law and city ordinances governing the disposition of unclaimed property.
(C) In the case of violations of this section relative to restrictions on location of newspaper dispensing devices, the city may in its sole discretion and as an alternative to removal under division (B) of this section move the device so that its location conforms to the requirements of this section.
(D) In the case of repeated violations of this chapter, the city may in its sole discretion revoke the permit of any and all permits issued to a publisher.
