(A) (1) No person shall remove or move any buildings along public streets, alleys, or public places within the City, unless he shall first have obtained a license of a house mover. The fee for such license shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00) per annum and each applicant shall first execute and deliver to the City Clerk a bond in the sum of $5,000.00, conditioned upon the applicant’s curing and paying for any and all damages which shall be sustained to any streets, alleys, sidewalks, or other public places or any telegraph, telephone, or electric light pole, or wire within the City.
(2) The applicant shall further furnish to the City a policy of public liability insurance, issued by a company or companies approved by the City Clerk, which shall protect and indemnify the City from all judgments, costs, and expenses which may accrue against said City in consequence of the granting of such license, in the amount of not less than $50,000.00 for each person and $100,000.00 for each occurrence.
(B) (1) No person shall move or remove any building or structure along public streets, alleys, or other public places of the City, even though he may be licensed as a house mover hereunder, without having first obtained a building permit therefor from the City Clerk under the Building Code. Such licensed house mover shall make application for such permit upon forms supplied by the City Clerk and shall state thereon the building proposed to be moved, its present location and proposed location, the route to be taken, and the time required therefor. No permit shall be issued for moving or removing of any structure which, because of size or description would not be permitted upon the location where it is proposed to be moved, and in particular, no building shall be moved to any place within the fire limits which shall not comply with the Building Code.
(2) Such application for permit shall be referred by the City Clerk to the City Manager, City Engineer, and Building Official, and shall determine whether such permit may be issued under provision of ordinances of the City, and whether the route and proposed method of moving is feasible and safe, considering public welfare.
(C) Each licensed house mover who shall have a permit to move any building or structure shall, during such move, keep and maintain adequate warning devices upon such structure, including red flashing lights or other similar warning devices during the hours of darkness. Any such house mover shall declare any damage or injury to any public street, sidewalk, or public place caused or occurring during such move.
