8-3-3: DISPOSITION OF DEPOSIT:
The deposit shall be held by the City Comptroller for a period of one year after the notice of restoration. The applicant shall notify the Superintendent of Public Works upon completion of restoration, the date of which shall be affixed to the excavation permit application. Failure to notify the Superintendent of Public Works upon completion of restoration will result in the application date being used for a completion date. After one year, the Superintendent of Public Works will conduct an inspection of the work site. If the restoration of the excavation or opening is in a condition acceptable to the City, the deposit shall be returned to the applicant. If the Superintendent of Public Works deems that further work is necessary to restore the public right-of-way, the applicant will be notified of the corrections needed and given ten (10) business days to complete the work. If after proper notice, the applicant refuses or fails to make the required corrections, the City will cause the necessary work to be completed, with all costs incurred being deducted from the deposit. The balance of the deposit, if any, shall be returned to the applicant or, if the costs of proper restoration exceed the deposit, the applicant shall be billed by the City the amount of the excess.
