[Ord. No. 424 §§1 — 7, 3-16-1970]
A. 
No person, firm or corporation shall move any building on, through or over any street, alley, sidewalk or other public place in the City without having obtained a permit therefor from the City Clerk. Applications for such permits shall be made in writing to the Clerk and shall state thereon the proposed route and the number of days it is intended that the building shall occupy any portion of any street, alley, sidewalk or other public place.
B. 
Upon approval of the intended route by the City Engineer, a fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each day or fraction thereof that it is intended that the building shall occupy any such portion of any public place shall be paid to the Clerk and the permit issued. An additional payment of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each day or fraction thereof over and above the time stated on the permit during or on which any building shall occupy such public place shall be paid.
C. 
Every person, firm or corporation applying for a permit under this Article shall submit with his/her application a cash bond of two thousand dollars ($2,000.00), or a bond with a corporate surety thereon, to be approved by the City Clerk, conditioned on his/her compliance with all the provisions of this Article and agreeing to pay and holding the City harmless from any claim which may be made against it by reason of the occupation of any street, alley, sidewalk or other public place by the building or structure moved, and further conditioned upon the applicant repairing the surface of any street, alley or sidewalk caused to be broken or damaged by such moving thereon.
D. 
Whenever a street or alley is blocked by a house or structure which is being moved, warnings to that effect shall be placed by the applicant so as to warn vehicles and persons from entering that portion of the street so blocked. The person, firm or corporation moving any building through the streets, shall keep warning signs and lanterns or lights at night on the building so as to guard against any person or vehicle from colliding with it.
E. 
Whenever it shall be necessary to interfere with wires or cables of a public utility in moving a building, the terms of any special or franchise ordinance governing shall apply and the bond therein specified shall be given. If no such terms apply, then the City Engineer shall estimate the expense of fixing the wires and the bond to be given to cover such expense.
F. 
When any such moving building approaches any fire alarm wire or pole which shall be endangered by the removal of such building or structure, it shall be the duty of the mover to notify the Fire Marshal at least six (6) hours before reaching such wire or pole so that they may be removed or cared for by the City, at the expense of applicant.
G. 
Any person, firm or corporation violating any provision of this Article shall be fined not less than one dollar ($1.00) nor more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each offense; and a separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
