Applications for the placement of such antenna facilities or radio equipment upon existing above-ground poles or similar structures located within the public rights-of-way will be submitted to the public works director on a form provided by the director, along with an application fee in an amount established by resolution of the city council. Unless exempt under paramount state or federal law, any authorized use of existing poles or similar structures located within the public rights-of-way will be subject to a permit to be issued by the city manager, or the city manager's designee.
