In addition to the fees prescribed in § 1424.11, the City Engineer shall, before issuing any permit for construction involving excavation, grading, filling or the hauling of earth to or from the site of such construction, collect from the applicant for such permit a deposit of $500 and deposit the same with the Director of Finance. On the completion of the work for which such permit was granted, the Director of Finance shall refund the deposit to the applicant, subject to the following conditions.
(a) The Director of City Services shall cause to be removed all earth, debris or building material which may be placed, left or permitted to remain on any pavement, sidewalk or tree lawn in the course of the work for which such permit is granted, unless the applicant promptly causes such earth, debris or material to be removed.
(b) The Director of City Services shall report to the Director of Finance the cost of such removal, which cost shall be charged against the applicant. Such cost, so far as met by the deposit, shall be paid into the treasury for the use of the Service Fund. The deposit, or such balance thereof as may remain after the deduction of the aforementioned cost, shall be refunded to the applicant.
(Ord. 1988-235, passed 1-3-1989; Ord. 2005-152, passed 6-20-2005)
(a) Before any person is granted a permit for the construction, enlargement, alteration, repair or removal of any dwelling, building or other structure, which work may result in damage to a city street, highway, sidewalk, tree lawn, gutter or utility, he or she shall be required to deposit with the Director of Finance the sum of $500 for each such permit, as security that any such damage which may be caused will be repaired in a manner satisfactory to the city. The deposit shall be retained by the Director of Finance in a special fund for the purposes outlined herein until such time as the City Engineer certifies that all damage to the aforesaid property has been satisfactorily repaired or replaced. Upon such certification by the City Engineer, the deposit shall be returned to the person making the deposit, less a fee of $100 to cover inspection of the work.
(b) In the event that the person making the deposit fails to repair any of the damage, the city shall make arrangements for such necessary repairs or replacements and deduct the cost thereof from the deposit. If the deposit is insufficient to reimburse the city, the Director of Finance shall take the necessary steps to effect the collection of the remainder of the cost from the person making the deposit. If the deposit exceeds the cost of such repairs or replacements, the Director of Finance shall issue a check to return the excess to the person who made such deposit.
(c) The requirements of this section shall not apply to any person who has made a like deposit with the city for making a tap or connection to any water main, sewer or drain or for the repair thereof.
(Ord. 1988-235, passed 1-3-1989; Ord. 2005-152, passed 6-20-2005)

(a) The improvements will be completed within a period of time deemed reasonable and necessary by the City Engineer, and in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the improvements; and
