1. When any City department performs work in the right-of-way and finds it necessary to maintain, support, or move a registrant’s, permittee’s, franchisee’s, licensee’s, or lessee’s equipment in order to protect it, the costs associated therewith will be billed to that person and must be paid within 30 days from the date of billing. In such event, the Building Inspector or City department performing such work shall notify the affected registrant, permittee, franchisee, licensee, or lessee, informing such person of the action it intends to take with respect to such equipment and affording such person the opportunity to review and comment on the action proposed to be taken. If circumstances permit it, the Building Inspector or City department performing the work may allow the affected registrant, permittee, franchisee, licensee, or lessee to take the action necessary to maintain, support, or move its equipment.
2. Each registrant, permittee, franchisee, licensee, or lessee shall be responsible for the cost of repairing any equipment in the right-of-way which it or its equipment damages. Each registrant, permittee, franchisee, licensee, or lessee shall be responsible for the cost of repairing any damage to the equipment of another registrant, permittee, franchisee, licensee, or lessee occurring during the City’s response to an emergency occasioned by that registrant’s equipment.
