Section 7.18: Work Done Without a Permit
Subdivision 1. Emergency Situations
Each registrant shall immediately notify the City of any event regarding its facilities,
if its facilities provide an essential service, which it considers to be an emergency.
The registrant may proceed to take whatever actions are necessary to respond to
the emergency. Within two (2) business days after the occurrence of the
emergency the registrant shall apply for the necessary permits, pay the fees
associated therewith and fulfill the rest of the requirements necessary to bring itself
into compliance with this Chapter for the actions it took in response to the
emergency.
If the City becomes aware of an emergency regarding a registrant's facilities, the
City Manager or his/her designee will attempt to contact the local representative of
each registrant affected, or potentially affected, by the emergency. In any event,
the City may take whatever action it deems necessary to respond to the
emergency, the cost of which shall be borne by the registrant whose facilities
occasioned the emergency.
Subdivision 2. Non-Emergency Situations
Except in an emergency, any person who, without first having obtained the
necessary permit, obstructs or excavates a right-of-way must subsequently obtain
a permit, pay double the normal fee for said permit, pay double all the other fees
required by the City Code, deposit with the City the fees necessary to correct any
damage to the right-of-way and comply with all of the requirements of this Chapter.
