(A) Within ten days after the effective date of a resolution adopted pursuant to § 13.16.060, the City Clerk shall notify all affected utilities and all persons owning real property within the district created by said resolution of the adoption thereof. The City Clerk shall further notify such affected property owners of the necessity that, if they or any person occupying such property desire to continue to receive electric or communication service, that subject to applicable rules, regulations, tariffs or ordinances, all electric or communication facilities, including connections to the owner's premises, located upon any lot or parcel of land within the district shall be constructed, reconstructed, relocated or converted by the owner of such lot or parcel at his own expense. Such work may be done by the contractor or the public utility, public agency or city performing the conversion work, and the cost thereof included in the assessment to be levied upon such lot or parcel, provided that the owner shall execute a written request therefor and file the same with the Clerk. Any such request shall expressly authorize the contractor, public utility, public agency or city, and their respective officers, agents and employees, to enter upon such lot or parcel for such purpose and shall waive any right of protest or objection in respect of the doing of such work and the inclusion of the cost thereof in said assessment.
(B) The provisions of this chapter shall not be deemed to diminish any right of an owner of a lot or parcel of land to contract any portion of work on his premises.
