(a) It is the express policy of the City of London and this chapter that telecommunications facilities be removed once they are no longer in use and not a functional part of providing telecommunications service and that it is the telecommunications provider's responsibility to remove such facilities and restore the site to its original condition or to a condition approved by the Public Safety and Service Director. This restoration shall include the removal of any substructure, structure or foundation, including concrete, used to support the telecommunications facility. After a telecommunications facility is no longer in operation, the provider shall have ninety days to effect removal of the facility and restoration of the site, unless weather prohibits such efforts.
(b) The telecommunications provider shall provide to the City of London, prior to the issuance of the conditional use permit, a performance bond in the amount of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) to guarantee that the telecommunications facility will be removed when no longer in operation. The City of London will be named as the obligee in the bond and must approve the bonding company.
