All moving of trees upon any public place in the city made necessary by the erection, alteration, removal or moving of a building or structure or any other private enterprise shall be done under the supervision of and with the written permission of the arborist, and at the expense of the applicant or person seeking the removal of such tree. This applicant, as one of the conditions to obtaining such permission, shall deposit with the city such sum in cash as the Municipal Administrator may determine and specify to cover all of the cost of moving and replacing such tree, if the conditions of such permission require the replacement thereof. However, in lieu of such cash deposit the Municipal Administrator may in his or her discretion accept a good and sufficient bond in like amount conditioned upon the payment of all the cost of such moving and replacing.
