Further, <br />the Legislature has determined that because increasing numbers of <br />persons may seek usage of Rights-of-Way, municipalities such as the <br />City must be and have been authorized to regulate use of Rights-of- <br />Way. Consistent with this mandate, the City has endeavored to <br />model its Right-of-Way standards and regulations of general <br />applicability. <br /> <br /> In response to the foregoing, the City hereby enacts this new <br />Section 1 of this Code relating to Right-of-Way Permits and <br />management, together with an ordinance making necessary revisions <br />to other Code provisions. This Section imposes fair, efficient, <br />competitively neutral, uniform, and reasonable regulations on the <br />placement and maintenance of Equipment currently within its Rights- <br />of-Way or to be placed therein. This Section is intended to <br />compliment the regulatory roles of state and federal agencies. <br />Under this Section, Persons disturbing and obstructing the Rights- <br />of-Way will bear a fair share of the financial responsibility for <br />their integrity. Finally, this Section provides for recovery of <br />out-of-pocket and projected costs from Persons using the Rights-of- <br />Way. <br /> <br />Subd. 2. Legislative Power.
