      a.   The location of the pipe, cable, wire conduit or line; and
      b.   The privileges and proposed terms which the applicant desires to secure from the city and to exercise.
   3.   If the permit is granted, the Mayor or Acting Mayor will grant it on written terms which are mutually agreeable. The Mayor or Acting Mayor may revoke said permit after adequate opportunity for a public hearing, for any of the following reasons:
      a.   Failure to abide by the terms on which the permit was granted;
      b.   Violation of state law or municipal ordinances; or

   6.   The City Council may require an applicant to provide a bond for the protection of the city and/or the public in such sum and with such terms as said City Council deems desirable. When the City Council requires such a bond, a permit shall have no force or effect unless the required bond is also in affect.
