The City Manager may, in such official’s reasonable discretion, defer construction or other activity under any permit provided for in this chapter, until such time as such official deems it proper in all cases where the public place on which the work is desired to be done is occupied or is about to be occupied for any work by the City, or by some other person having a right to use the same in such manner as to render it seriously inconvenient to the public to permit any further obstruction thereof at such time, and in granting such permit, the City Manager may so regulate the manner of doing such work in order to cause the least inconvenience to the public in the use of such public place. In all cases, any work of the City or its contractors or employees for municipal purposes shall have precedence over all work of every other kind. (Ord. 22-99 § 1)
