Prior to issuance of a construction permit, the requestor shall pay a permit fee in an amount established by resolution otherwise by the City Council. Such fee shall be designed to defray the costs of city administration of the construction. The city shall waive the construction permit fee if the requestor is a non-breaching party to an unexpired franchise agreement with the city and that franchise agreement obligates the franchisee to pay a franchise fee on all the services it provides within the city or if the requester is a provider acting in compliance with this chapter, including right-of-way use fee payment obligations.
