The committee, after receiving good input from Mr. Hogan and Mr. Harbarger, did recommend approval by a vote of 4-0. (Two members from each committee) • Ordinance 2007-133, an ordinance amending Sections 901.04 and 901.05 of Chapter 901, (Excavations) of the Streets, Utilities, and Public Services Code, respectively entitled "Contractor To Make Street Repairs; Failure to Comply" and "Deduction and Refund" in order to regulate right-of--way excavation deposits and restoration by private contractors not affiliated with public utilities of communication companies and declaring an emergency as amended.
