(A) The City Council, in granting the franchise, does expressly reserve at no cost to the city the right and privilege of installing and maintaining four communication circuits upon any poles or in any communication conduit erected or placed by virtue of the franchise. The city may use the circuits for maintaining a communication, control and fire alarm service in the dispatch of city business; and all such poles erected or conduits laid under the authority of the franchise shall be erected and laid in such a manner as to leave sufficient space for the proper accommodation of the four circuits to be installed and maintained by the city. The grantee of a franchise shall have no responsibility or liability for the installation, maintenance or operation of such circuits by the city, nor shall the grantee have any responsibility to avoid inductive interference or induced voltages in any such circuits. The grantee shall not be obligated to continue to maintain such poles or conduits for the use of the city after the time that the grantee has no further use therefor.
(B) The city shall install and maintain its telephone or telegraph circuits in accordance with Public Utilities Commission General Order No. 95 or other current standards set by the Public Utilities Commission for similar installations.
