Sec. B17-33.1. Application fee; security required; relocation by utilities.

(a) Applicants for encroachment permits shall pay the nonrefundable application fee established by the board of supervisors by resolution, including the reasonable cost to the County for reviewing the application, establishing conditions, issuing the permit, performing inspections, and maintaining an inventory or database of facilities that are installed, repaired or removed. In addition, applicants shall either deposit with or pledge to the Director a sum of money sufficient in amount to cover the total cost of the contemplated work, or deposit with the Director a good and sufficient bond, as the Director determines. The Director has discretion to waive the requirement for the money or bond for public agencies or public utility corporations that are entitled to operate or maintain facilities in public rights-of-way either by operation of law or under a franchise granted by the County, or for other applicants. This money or bond is required to ensure the proper completion of all work described in the application and proper restoration of property under County jurisdiction, and shall be forfeited or called, as applicable, in the event work is not done properly as provided in this chapter.

(b) No fee or requirement authorized or imposed under this chapter shall be construed to affect or alter any obligation of public and private utilities with facilities installed in any highway to relocate the facilities at no cost to the County, in the event that relocation is required by the County to accommodate a proper governmental use of the highway.

(Ord. No. NS-703.9, 5-18-04)
