5.54.420 Removal of unauthorized facilities.
Within thirty days following written notice from the city, any grantee, service provider, or other person that owns, controls, or maintains any unauthorized facility within the rights-of-way shall, at its own expense, remove such facilities from the rights-of-way.

A facility or system is unauthorized and subject to removal in the following circumstances:
A. Upon expiration or termination of the grantee’s franchise;
B. Upon abandonment of a facility within the rights-of-way;
C. If the system or facility was constructed or installed without the prior grant of a franchise;
D. If the system or facility was constructed or installed without the prior issuance of a required utility right-of-way permit;
E. If the system or facility was constructed or installed at a location not permitted by the grantee’s franchise;
F. Any such other reasonable circumstances deemed necessary by the director. (Ord. 009/2022 § 3 (Exh. A))
