(A) Application fees. The fee for a permit for each SCF or SCF support structure shall be established by resolution approved by the City Council.
(B) Recurring fees. A wireless provider authorized under this chapter to place SCFs and any related utility pole or SCF support structure in the ROW shall pay to the city a ROW access fee established by resolution adopted by the City Council in an amount not to exceed the maximum fee permitted by applicable federal law. Recurring fees shall be paid annually in accordance with the city's standard billing or invoicing procedures.
(C) The application fee and the recurring fees under this section shall be the sole compensation that the wireless provider shall be required to pay the city. However, the rates of either the application fee or the recurring fees may be increased due to extreme circumstances but in no case may such fees exceed a reasonable approximation of the city's actual and reasonable costs. In addition, such fees must be objectively reasonable, and no higher than charged to similarly-situated competitors in similar situations.
(D) Each applicant shall enter into a lease/license agreement with the city. The lease/license agreement defines term, license, termination, and SCF removal provisions as well as any other terms and conditions that city and SCF may mutually agree upon.
