Special Considerations

Application & processing

Every application shall include the location of the proposed right-of-way use, a description of the use, the planned duration of the use, applicant contact information, and all other information which may be required as specified in the procedures adopted under this chapter, and shall be accompanied by payment of the required fees.

 

All applications for permits will be submitted at least fifteen (15) days before the planned need for the permit, or such greater period as may be reasonably required by the Director or designee. If unforeseen conditions require expedited processing the City will attempt to cooperate, but additional fees to cover additional costs to the City may be charged.

 

Permit fees and charges

Reimbursement of Actual Expenses. When a permit is issued, the City will impose a charge based on the actual cost to compensate for its time and expenses. These costs may include street crews, signal crews, and police, if required to assist in the activity. A refundable deposit or other security device may also be required. Costs of damage to City property, or expense of assistance by City employees, may be deducted from the deposit, charged against the security device, or billed to the permittee directly. However, cost recovery shall be subject to the limitations set forth in SMC 11.10.105(A)(3) with respect to Class A or Class B permits issued for expressive activities.
