Section 5.35.130 Dangerous conditions.

Whenever construction, installation or excavation of the communication facilities authorized by a franchise has caused or contributed to a condition that appears to substantially impair the lateral support of the adjoining public way, street, or public place, or endangers the public street, utilities or City-owned property, the City Engineer may reasonably request the Franchisee to take action to protect the public, adjacent public places, City-owned property, streets, utilities and public ways. Such action may include compliance within a prescribed time. In the event that the Franchisee fails or refuses to promptly take the actions directed by the City or fails to fully comply with such directions, or if emergency conditions exist which require immediate action, the City may enter upon the property and take such actions as are necessary to protect the public, the adjacent streets, utilities, public ways to maintain the lateral support thereof or actions regarded as necessary safety precautions and the Franchisee shall be liable to the City for the reasonable costs thereof.
