(a) A provider must promptly and at its own expense, with due regard for seasonal working conditions, permanently remove and relocate its equipment and facilities in the right of way whenever the City Manager requests such removal and relocation, and shall restore the right of way to the same condition it was in prior to said removal or relocation. The City Manager may make such request to prevent interference by the Company's equipment or facilities with (i) a present or future City use of the right of way, (ii) a public improvement undertaken by the City, (iii) an economic development project in which the City has an interest or investment, (iv) when the public health, safety and welfare require it, or (v) when necessary to prevent interference with the safety and convenience of ordinary travel over the right of way.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person shall not be required to remove or relocate its equipment from any right of way which has been vacated in favor of a non-governmental entity unless and until the reasonable costs thereof are first paid to the person therefor.
