§ 37-9. Licenses of city property.

(a)

Uses of property owned by the city in fee that are subject to this chapter but are not described elsewhere in this chapter must be licensed. Licenses shall be for a ten-year period unless otherwise approved by city council. Licenses are terminable according to their terms. Petitions for licenses must be submitted to the director. The director may process license requests and may establish forms and procedures conducive to carrying out this section. If a use is specifically addressed in another section of this chapter, the more specific section applies.

(b)

The city may collect license fees for uses of public right-of-way or other city property before rights under this section have been granted, even if the uses are now eligible for a permit.

(1)

Those using public right-of-way or other city property in a manner subject to this section without a license before September 1998 must pay city a fee equal to fifty (50) percent of the license fee for the unauthorized use prescribed at the time the fee is paid.

(2)

For all uses from September 1998 forward, those using such property in a manner subject to this section without a license must pay the fees that were in effect from time to time for rolling ten-year licenses until December 1, 2009. Past-due license fees need not be paid for a period after December 1, 2009, but after that date, past-due permit fees must be paid.
