By accepting an encroachment permit, the applicant, and all persons claiming by, for or through the applicant, including successors in interest, shall be deemed to have agreed to hold the city, the city council, and the officers and employees of the city free and harmless from damage or injury to any person or property arising from the work or installation. In addition, the applicant, and all persons claiming by, for or through the applicant, including successors in interest, shall maintain the work or installation at his or her own expense in good repair and in the manner in which it was approved. If the applicant, and all persons claiming by, for or through the applicant, including successors in interest, fail to maintain the work or installation, the city may take reasonable steps to maintain it and charge the applicant, and all persons claiming by, for or through the applicant, including successors in interest, the cost of that maintenance.
