10-20-300 Board of local improvements authorization.
No person shall build, construct or lay a pavement by private contract on any public way in the city, unless he first shall have made application to the board of local improvements and otherwise complied with the licensing and permitting requirements of this chapter.
Before such permit is issued, the said applicant shall deposit with the board of local improvements a sum sufficient to cover the estimated cost of engineering, inspection, supervision and other services. Against such deposit, charges shall be made by the board of local improvements for such services as may be required from time to time at such rates as will correspond to those established by the city council for similar services. Nothing in this section shall be held to apply to pavements laid by special assessment or special taxation or to the construction, building or laying of pavement in connection with the operation, maintenance, improvement, installation or removal of parking meters by a person, or the person's designee, acting pursuant to a concession agreement approved by the city council governing the operation, improvement, installation, removal and maintenance of, and collection of fees from, certain designated parking meters.
