§ 31. Erection, removal and common user or poles.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    No poles or other wire-holding structures shall be erected by the grantee without prior approval of the city council with regard to location, height, type and any other pertinent aspect. However, no location of any pole or wire-holding structure of the grantee shall be a vested interest and such poles or structures shall be removed or modified by the grantee at its own expense whenever the city council determines that the public convenience would be enhanced thereby.

    (b)

    Where poles or other wire-holding structures already existing for use in serving the city are available for use by the grantee, but it does not make arrangements for such use, the city council may require the grantee to use such poles and structures if it determines that the public convenience would be enhanced thereby and the terms of the use available to the grantee are just and reasonable.

    (c)

    Where the city or a public utility serving the city desires to make use of the poles or other wire-holding structures of the grantee but agreement therefor with the grantee cannot be reached, the city council may require the grantee to permit such use for such consideration and upon such terms as the council shall determine to be just and reasonable, if the council determines that the use would enhance the public convenience and would not unduly interfere with the grantee's operations.
