3.14.100   Location of property of grantee.
   A.    Any poles, wires, cable wires, conduits or other properties of the grantee to be constructed or installed in streets shall be so constructed or installed only at such locations and in such manner as shall be approved by the Director of Engineering and Community Development, acting in the exercise of his reasonable discretion.
   B.    The grantee shall not install or erect any facilities or apparatus in or on other public property, places or rights-of-way, or within any privately owned area within the city which has not yet become a public street but is designated or delineated as a proposed public street on any tentative subdivision map approved by the City, except those installed or erected upon public utility facilities now existing, without obtaining the prior written approval of the Director of Engineering and Community Development.
   C.    In those areas and portions of the city where the transmission of distribution facilities of both the public utility providing telephone service and those of the utility providing electric service are underground or hereafter may be placed underground, then the grantee shall likewise construct, operate and maintain all of its transmission and distribution facilities underground. For the purposes of this subsection, "underground" shall include a partial underground system, e.g., streamlining. Amplifiers in the grantee's transmission and distribution lines may be in appropriate housing upon the surface of the ground as approved by the Director of Engineering and Community Development.
   D.    Grantee's CATV antennas, earth receiving stations, and other headend facilities and appurtenances may be located on City-owned property at the Hubert C. Ferry Reservoir (Acacia Reservoir) site. Use of a reasonable portion of said site for these facilities will be provided to the grantee during the term of this franchise at no cost. Grantee's use of the reservoir site shall not unreasonably interfere with this site's primary use as a water storage and distribution facility. All such CATV installations at this site shall be constructed in accordance with applicable codes and ordinances, and the exact location and configuration of all facilities shall be subject to the approval of the City's Director of Engineering and Community Development. Subject to technical and other reasonable limitations, grantee shall install City and other public agency equipment on the grantee's tower.
   E.    Grantee shall bury its underground CATV cable not less than eighteen inches from the surface. Exceptions must be requested from and approved by the Director of Engineering and Community Development.
   F.    Grantee shall give at least two days' notice on cable burial and shall relocate, alter or otherwise conform to the needs of the city when the City's underground service facilities are involved.
   G.    Where the system is to be underground, crossings of arterial highways as shown on the City's Circulation Element shall not be open-trenched, unless specific approval is given by the Director of Engineering and Community Development.
   H.    Grantee shall use boring techniques in lieu of transverse cuts for crossing streets underground. Exceptions may be authorized by the Director of Engineering and Community Development when conditions such as street contours, utilities or other factors make boring techniques difficult or impractical.
   I.    The grantee shall conform to all relevant provisions of law of the Federal and State government and the City.
   J.    City hereby offers to sell and grantee hereby offers to buy the two master antenna television (MATV) systems owned by City for the sum of one dollar and other valuable consideration for each system, to be paid to the City within thirty days of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter. Upon payment, City will present grantee with a bill of sale, conveying all rights, title, and interest, free and clear of any and all liens, charges and encumbrances, in the MATV systems to grantee, which shall include all cables, conduits, equipment, antennae, and other appurtenances within said systems. Said systems are described as the Broadmoor system, within Tracts No. 7701 and 8664, and the Fullerton Creek system, within Tract No. 8526. Upon transfer of title, grantee shall thereafter be responsible for all maintenance, upkeep, and operation of said MATV systems. (Ord. 2326 § 1 (part), 1980).
