(A) Joint use. Whenever any electric, telephone, cable-vision, or telegraph company shall desire to place lines or wires along any street upon which it does not have a line of poles but where there exists a line of poles owned by another company, the companies may maintain their wires upon the same poles. If an agreement cannot be reached between the companies owning the poles and the companies desiring to place wires thereon, the companies may submit the question of compensation to the City Council for determination. This section shall apply to poles owned by the city as well as poles owned by companies operating under franchises from the city.
(Prior Code, § 51.121)
(B) City use. One duct in all underground conduit systems shall be provided for the city, free of charge for the city police, or fire alarm telegraph system when required. The city shall have the use of any poles on streets for the same purposes.
