13.36.060 - Completion deposit. In connection with permits issued under this Chapter by the Director of Public Works, a completion deposit of not less than five percent of the estimated cost of the construction shall be provided. Said completion deposit may be increased if the Director finds such increase necessary to assure public safety. The Director may require a one hundred percent completion deposit in lieu of bonds where the estimated cost of the project is less than five thousand dollars. In the event of noncompliance with permit conditions, the Director may act on behalf of the permittee to cause the work to be done by others and authorize payment directly from the completion deposit, and may also recover City costs in taking such action. Upon acceptance, the unexpended portion of the completion deposit shall be returned to the party making payment. (Ord. 29966.)
