(b)

In the event that any such relocation or removal is performed by the city or its designees, the city reserves to itself all rights and privileges granted pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 32-6-173 authorizing the city to assess the costs of such relocation or removal against the person or entity which owns or is otherwise responsible for the encroachment.

(c)

The issuance of a permit pursuant to section 20-60 does not grant a property interest in any person or entity holding such a permit, nor does it grant a compensable right to utilize the public rights-of-way. All utilizations of public rights-of-way governed by this article are at the pleasure of the city, and may be revoked at any time in an emergency situation or upon 30 days' notice in a nonemergency situation.
