US West Communications, Inc. v. Jackson County

Plaintiffs, a consortium of utilities, brought this action for declaratory and injunctive relief, challenging a Jackson County ordinance that requires utilities to provide or pay for photographs of preconstruction sites before they may obtain permits to work in county rights-of-way. Defendants, Jackson County and the director of the county’s Department of Public Works, moved for summary judgment. The trial court granted defendants’ motion and entered judgment in their favor. Plaintiffs appeal from that judgment, assigning error to the trial court’s order granting defendants’ motion. We affirm.
