The City shall, in order to facilitate the scheduling and coordination of work in the right-of-way, provide as much advance notice as reasonable of plans to open the right-of-way to those service providers who are current users of the right-of-way or who have filed notice with the clerk of the city or town within the past twelve (12) months of their intent to place Facilities in the city or town. The City shall not be liable for damages for failure to provide this notice, provided that, where the City has failed to provide notice of plans to open the right-of-way consistent with this Section, the Director of Community Planning and Development may not deny a use permit to a service provider on the basis that the service provider failed to coordinate with another project.
The Director shall have the authority to require that Facilities are installed and maintained within the right-of-way in such a manner and at such points so as not to inconvenience the public use of the right-of-way or to adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare.
(Ord. 6033 §84, 2000).
