No person shall excavate in the public right-of-way without, in addition to all other requirements of this code, having first paid to the city a "street cut fee." The amount of this street cut fee shall be set from time to time by resolution, and shall not exceed the reasonable cost necessary to mitigate the degradation to the public streets caused by such excavation. Funds collected as street cut fees shall only be expended for the rehabilitation and resurfacing of the public right-of-way.
