§ 12.04.3030. Annual rental.

(a)

In addition to other payments. The annual rentals established pursuant to this division shall be in addition to the annual tolls required to be paid by the grantee under franchises to occupy city highways which may be held by the grantee.

(b)

Exemption conditions. If under state law the city may not legally require the payment of any permit fee or bridge rental from any particular person, such person shall nevertheless first apply for and obtain a permit as required in section 12.04.3020(a), which permit, if granted, shall be granted without the payment of any permit fee or bridge rental.

(c)

Lower fees authorized in certain cases. Where the city council finds that, because of the disturbance of an easement, or otherwise, a consideration is due or will become due from the city to the applicant, as a set-off, the city council, in directing the commissioner to issue the permit, may provide that either no fee or a lower fee than that provided for in the rate schedule adopted pursuant to section 12.04.3020(a) be collected. The city council, in like manner, may provide that either no inspection fee or a lesser inspection fee than that adequate to reimburse the director be collected. The director shall not receive greater fees than specified in such orders.

(d)

Late payment charge. If any annual advance rental payment specified in this section is not made within 60 days after the date on which the payment is due, the grantee shall further pay interest on such payment at the rate of one percent per month from the date the payment was due.
