(a) Certification of Inspection and Repairs Required. On or before June 15 of each year, the owner or person in charge of any sign herein described shall inspect or cause to be inspected his or her sign, and upon finding the sign in a good state of repair and safe and secure, shall certify such finding to the Planning Commission. Upon finding the same in poor repair or unsafe condition, the owner shall have the sign properly repaired or shall remove the sign. In either event, the owner shall certify his or her repairs and inspection to the Planning Commission.
(b) Noncompliance; Remedy of City. Any person owning or in charge of any sign described herein, who fails to file an inspection certificate on or before June 15, shall be assessed an annual inspection fee of ten dollars ($10.00). The Director of Public Service and Safety shall cause the sign of a defaulting person to be inspected and shall make a report to the Planning Commission of his or her inspection. If the report is that the sign is in bad repair and/or unsafe, the Commission shall notify the owner, in writing, to put the sign in good repair and make it safe and secure. Failure to comply with the notice within ten days shall subject the owner to the penalty provided in Section 1490.99, unless, within that time, a written protest against the Director's report is filed with the Planning Commission. Upon the filing of such a protest the Commission shall investigate and conduct a hearing on the matter and, upon finding against the protestant, shall certify its finding to the Director of Law for prosecution under the penal provisions of this chapter.
(c) Assessment and Collection of Fees. The Director of Public Service and Safety shall assess and collect all inspection fees.
