13.52.040 City permission requirement.
No person may occupy or encroach on or alter a public right-of-way, or alter any thing in a right-of-way without the permission of the City. The City grants permission to use rights-of-way by ordinance, franchises, licenses and permits. Fees for licenses and permits are set by Council resolution, and the fee may include an amount designed to offset the impact on the use of the right-of-way, if any.
A. The City Manager has the authority to grant permits for the temporary use of the public right-of-way under the exclusive jurisdiction of the City. Permits for the temporary use of the City public right-of-way are revocable at any time for any reason at the discretion of the City Manager or the City Council. A permit for the temporary use of the City public right-of-way shall provide that the City will incur no liability for revocation of the permit and that the permit holder’s temporary use of the right-of-way is made at the permit holder’s sole risk.
