A permittee with utilities in a City right-of-way that the permittee has abandoned or intends to abandon may be required by the City, in the City's discretion, to remove the utilities at the permittee's expense or, in the alternative, to reimburse the City for the cost removal of the utilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the permittee is a public utility under the jurisdiction of the Nevada Public Utilities Commission and has a current franchise with the City, in the event of an inconsistency between the requirements of this section and the terms of a franchise agreement, the terms of the franchise agreement shall prevail.
