(A) Notice. Within 90 days following written notice from the city of a public works project, an operator must, at its own expense, protect, support, temporarily or permanently disconnect, remove, relocate, change or alter the position of any small cell facilities within the rights-of-way, whenever the city has determined that such removal, relocation, change or alteration is reasonably necessary for the construction, repair, maintenance or installation of any city improvement in or upon, or the operations of the city in or upon, the rights-of-way.
(B) Emergency removal or relocation of facilities. The city retains the right and privilege to cut or move any small cell facilities located within the rights-of-way of the city, as the city may determine to be necessary, appropriate or useful in response to any public health or safety emergency. If circumstances permit, the city shall attempt to notify the operator, if known, prior to cutting or removing a facility; and must notify the operator, if known, after cutting or removing a small cell facility.
(C) Abandonment of facilities. The operator must notify the city within 90 days of abandoning a small cell facility within the rights-of-way of the city. Following receipt of such notice, the city may direct the operator to remove all or any portion of the facility, if the Director determines that such removal will be in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare.
