155.07 REGISTRATION AND PROW OCCUPANCY.
   1.   Registration. Each person who occupies, burdens, or seeks to occupy or burden, the PROW or place any equipment or facilities in the PROW, including persons with installation and maintenance responsibilities by lease, sublease or assignment, or are contracted to perform work on City-provided services must register with the PROW administrator. Registration will consist of providing application information and paying a registration fee as established by the Council.
   2.   Registration Prior to Work. No person may construct, install, repair, remove, relocate, or perform any other work on, or utilize any facilities or any part thereof, in any PROW without first being registered with the PROW administrator.
   3.   Exceptions. Nothing herein shall be construed to repeal or amend the provisions of a City ordinance permitting persons to plant or maintain boulevard plantings or gardens in the area of the PROW between their property and the street curb. Persons planting or maintaining boulevard plantings or gardens shall not be deemed to burden or occupy the PROW, and shall not be required to obtain any permits or satisfy any other requirements for planting or maintaining such boulevard plantings or gardens under this chapter. However, nothing herein relieves a person from complying with the provisions of Iowa’s “One Call” law. Additionally, nothing herein constitutes a grant of permission to permanently locate plantings in the PROW, nor does the City waive any potential claims, counterclaims, crossclaims or interpleaders relative to persons putting plantings in the PROW that give rise to injuries or damages to others. The City may at any time require the removal or relocation of plantings at the owners’ expense.
