2014 Amendment 01 (Adopted)

Amendment 01

This amendment is sponsored by Councilmember Neher and makes three minor fixes to the Ordinance. First, the ability to collect fines under Chapter 12.08,entitled Excavations, is added to the Ordinance Violations Bureau. Second, Section 12.08.060 is deleted in its entirety. This Section allows the City to require adeposit be made by anyone who wishes to excavate on City property. The City does not utilize this section because of the inherent difficulties in maintaining and accounting for the "deposits", and the preferred method is to have the contractor bond for the work as required by 12.08.050. Third, the original ordinance inadvertently deleted any reference to street cuts. This ordinance proposes placing the street cut requirements in Section 17.08.010 and deletes references to the obsolete street cut requirements and instead requires the street cuts to be made inaccordance to standards established by the Planning and Transportation Department
