(A) Permits. Where permits are authorized in this article, they shall be obtained upon application to the Director, upon such forms as he shall prescribe, and there shall be a charge as prescribed by resolution of the City Council from time to time for each such permit, except as otherwise provided by resolution of the Council. Such permit shall be revocable by the Director for failure to comply with this article, rules and regulations adopted pursuant to this article, and the lawful orders of the Director or his duly authorized representative. The permit shall be valid only for the period of time endorsed on the permit. Application for a permit under the provisions of this article shall be deemed an agreement by the applicant to promptly complete the work permitted, observe all pertinent laws and regulations of the city in connection with such work, repair all damage done to the street surface and installations on, over or within such street, including trees, and protect and save harmless the city from all damages or actions at law that may arise or may be brought on account of injury to persons or property resulting from the work done under the permit or in connection therewith.
(B) Insurance. Where liability insurance certificates are required to be filed in making application for a permit, they shall be as specified by the City Council. A duplicate executed copy or photostatic copy of the original of such insurance policy, approved as to form by the City Attorney, shall be filed with the City Clerk.
(C) Cash deposits. Where cash deposits are required with the application for any permit under the provisions of this article, such deposit shall be in the amount set by resolution of the City Council, except as otherwise specified in this article. Such deposit shall be used to defray all expenses to the city arising out of the granting of the permit and work done under the permit or in connection therewith. Six months after the completion of the work done under the permit, any balance of such cash deposit unexpended shall be refunded. If the deposit does not cover all costs and expenses of the city, the deficit shall be paid by the applicant.
