(A) The courtesy bench licensee shall remove all courtesy benches authorized under a courtesy bench license, including any durable surface installed under the courtesy bench, and shall restore the affected ground area to the condition it was in prior to installation of the courtesy bench within ten days following revocation of the courtesy bench license. If the licensee fails to remove any courtesy bench as provided in this section, the city may, at the licensee's cost, remove all courtesy benches authorized under a courtesy bench license and underlying durable surface, complete any necessary restoration and dispose of the courtesy benches and durable surfaces by any means it deems appropriate after providing ten business days' written notice, by certified mail, to the licensee of the city's intent to remove the courtesy benches. If the licensee fails to pay for the costs incurred by the city in the removal, restoration and disposal process within 15 days after the city's demand for payment addressed to the licensee and sent by certified mail, the city may draw on the surety provided by the licensee to reimburse the city for its costs.
(B) The city may remove any courtesy bench authorized under a courtesy bench license in the manner set forth in § 125.30 of this chapter when the courtesy bench licensee fails to adequately repair or maintain a courtesy bench, as determined by the city. The city must provide the licensee with ten days' written notice, by certified mail, of the condition of the courtesy bench and the need for appropriate repair or maintenance, and the city's intent to remove the courtesy bench and underlying durable surface.
