A. Whenever the council by ordinance declares an area of the city an underground district as provided in Section 13.12.030, it shall be unlawful for any person or utility to maintain any pole, overhead wire or associated overhead structures within the district after the date when such overhead facilities are required to be removed.

B. Any person or utility who shall erect, construct, place, keep, maintain, continue, employ or operate any such pole or overhead wire or associated overhead structure in the district, or who shall neglect to take down and remove any such pole, overhead wire or associated overhead structure within the time designated in the ordinance, or who shall otherwise fail to comply with the provisions of this chapter, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor under Section 1.12.020. Each consecutive fifteen-day period during which the failure to comply with the provisions hereof shall continue shall constitute a separate offense. (Prior code § 8400.3)
