The bond shall remain on deposit with the City for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of the move, and in the event that no claims have been made or damages discovered by the City, it shall be refunded. In the event that the mover shall furnish satisfactory evidence that all damage has been repaired or paid for, the bond shall be refunded to the mover, or in the event that no claims have been made, then the bond shall also be refunded.
[R.O. 2010 §500.170; CC 1970 §5-18; Ord. No. 1117 §6, 11-8-1957]
Any applicant making an application to move a building within, into or out of the City shall furnish satisfactory evidence to the City Clerk that such mover carries a public liability insurance policy in the sum of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit. This insurance shall be carried in a firm which has been duly licensed or permitted to do insurance business in the State, and shall be kept and maintained continuously in force and effect so long as the movers shall be moving a building within, into or out of the City, or licensed to operate on the City streets of the City. The license, when issued to the mover, shall designate the date of the move, the hour of the move and the route to be followed by the mover and any other terms or conditions reasonably necessary to protect the streets and sewers. Such license to the mover shall not constitute a warrant to the mover that the streets over which the building is to be moved are adequate to carry the load of the building. The move, by the mover of the building, over the streets shall be solely at the risk of the mover.
