Work must meet all standards applicable to the management of the right-of-way, and the City may determine the methods used to place equipment.

B. No Interference. User, in the performance and exercise of its rights and obligations under the permit, shall not interfere in any manner with the existence and operation of any rights-of-way, sanitary sewers, water mains, storm drains, gas mains, poles, aerial and underground electrical and telephone wires, electroliers, cable television, and other telecommunications, utility, communication system or municipal property, without the express written approval of the owner or owners of the affected personal property or properties. Upon notification by the City, user may be required to review plans of others to determine if interference may occur.

Costs for relocation or removal necessitated for anything other than City-funded projects shall be borne by the person requesting relocation or removal. User shall pay the costs for relocation of user's equipment for City-funded projects. When a project is funded with both private and City funds, user shall pay the percentage of the costs that is equal to the percentage of City funds that were spent on the project.
