Glasgow Miscellaneous Provisions ordinance (§ 515.050)
Chapter 515: Rights-Of-Way Management and Permit Procedure
A. Compliance With Laws. Each applicant shall comply with all applicable City ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations heretofore and hereafter adopted or established.
B. Franchises Not Superseded. Nothing herein relieves the City from any obligations under an existing franchise. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve an applicant of the provisions of an existing franchise, license or other agreement or permit.
C. Rights And Remedies.
1. The exercise of one (1) remedy under this Chapter shall not foreclose use of another, nor shall the exercise of a remedy or the payment of damages or penalties relieve an applicant of its obligations to comply with its permits. Remedies may be used alone or in combination; in addition, the City may exercise any rights it has at law or equity.
2. The City hereby reserves to itself the right to intervene in any suit, action or proceeding involving any provisions of this Chapter.
3. No applicant shall be relieved of its obligation to comply with any of the provisions of this Chapter by reason of any failure of the City to enforce prompt compliance.
D. Incorporation By Reference. Any permit granted pursuant to this Chapter shall by implication include a provision that shall incorporate by reference this Chapter into such permit as fully as if copied therein verbatim.
E. Force Majeure. An applicant shall not be deemed in violation of provisions of this Chapter where performance was rendered impossible by war or riots, civil disturbances, floods, or other natural catastrophes beyond the applicant's control, and a permit shall not be revoked or an applicant penalized for such non-compliance, provided that the applicant takes immediate and diligent steps to bring itself back into compliance and to comply as soon as possible under the circumstances with its permit without unduly endangering the health, safety, and integrity of the applicant's employees or property, the public, public right-of-way, public property, or private property.
F. Calculation Of Time. Unless otherwise indicated, when the performance or doing of any act, duty, matter, or payment is required under this Chapter or any permit, and a period of time is prescribed and is fixed herein, the time shall be computed so as to exclude the first and include the last day of the prescribed or fixed period of time.
G. Severability. If any term, condition, or provision of this Chapter shall, to any extent, be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder hereof shall be valid in all other respects and continue to be effective. In the event of a subsequent change in applicable law so that the provision that has been held invalid is no longer invalid, said provisions shall there upon return to full force and effect without further action by the City and shall thereafter be binding on the applicant and the City.
