13.22.022 – Penalties

Any person who violates, disobeys, omits, neglects or refuses to comply with any of the provisions of this Chapter shall be subject to a fine of not less than $250 nor more than $750 for each such violation, and a separate offense shall be deemed committed for each and every day during which a violation continues or exists. There may be times when the City will incur delay or other costs, including third party claims, because the utility will not or cannot perform its duties pursuant to its permit and this Chapter. Unless the utility demonstrates that another allocation of the cost of undertaking the requested action is appropriate, the utility shall bear the City’s costs of damages and its costs of installing, maintaining, modifying, relocating, or removing the facility that is the subject of the permit. No other administrative agency or commission may review or overrule a permit related cost apportionment of the City. Sanctions may be imposed upon a utility that does not pay the costs so apportioned.
