Such permit would be subject to revocation at any time by the city manager or his designee and would be subject to such terms and conditions as the city manager or his designee may consider reasonable for the protection of the best interests of the city including but not limited to provisions that the permittee shall hold the city, its officers, agents and employees free and harmless from any liability for injuries to persons or property resulting from the construction or maintenance of such encroachment and that the removal of the structure when so requested by the city manager or his designee shall be at the permittee's expense. Such permit may also provide that upon failure of the permittee to remove such structure within a reasonable time after notice from the city manager or his designee, the same may be abated and removed by the city and the cost thereof made a lien upon the property pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 9.56 of this code.
