The annual fee for use of streets or public places authorized by a consent agreement or franchise agreement shall be set by the ordinance approving the agreement and shall be based on gross revenues derived from activities in the municipality, the length of lines installed in streets and public places, or other formula deemed appropriate by council. No consent fee or franchise fee shall be construed to be in lieu of a business license tax based on gross revenue unless specifically provided by ordinance. Credits for business license taxes paid may be applied to fees set by ordinance granting consent or a franchise when specifically authorized by the ordinance.
