No poles shall be erected by the grantee without prior approval of the State Department of Transportation or other appropriate governmental unit, with regard to location, height, type and any other pertinent aspect. However, no location of any pole of the grantee shall be a vested right and such poles shall be removed or modified by the grantee at its own expense whenever the state reasonably determines that the public convenience would be enhanced thereby. The grantee shall utilize existing poles and conduits, where possible. The city shall have the right, during the life of the franchise, to install and maintain upon the poles owned by the grantee, any wire and pole fixtures that do not unreasonably interfere with the cable system operations of the grantee. The city shall indemnify the grantee for such use.
