If, after examining such application and map, plans, specifications and plat or plats, the City Engineer approves the same and the bond and workers’ compensation insurance certificate, provided for hereinafter, are filed, he may issue a permit for work on a gas transmission and/or distribution system. Such permit shall specify the name and location of the public properties in front of, through, under, or near which such acts are to be performed or done, together with a description of the proposed work or acts to be done under such permit and the length of time allowed for the completion thereof. The permit shall require the repairing and restoring to as good or better condition and in compliance with the conditions and specifications of this chapter, whatever portion of the public properties and/or private properties which may be obstructed, disturbed, or affected in any way within a specified time. The acts and work authorized and/or required under such permit shall at all times be under the supervision and control of the City Engineer or persons acting under his direction, but at the expense of the person procuring such permit.

The City Engineer may, in his discretion, defer the granting of the permit hereinabove provided for, until such time as he deems proper in all cases in which the public properties where the work desired to be done are occupied or about to be occupied in any work by the City, or by some other person having a right to pursue the same in such manner as to render it seriously inconvenient to the public to permit any further obstruction thereof at such time. He may, in granting such permit, so regulate the manner of doing such work as shall cause least inconvenience to the public in the use of such public properties, and in all cases any work of the City or its contractors or employees shall have precedence over all work of every kind. [Ord. 4515 § 2, 2021; Ord. 1503 § 22, 1971; Code 1970 § 16.12.220.]
