The company shall, on agreement with the owners, use existing poles, towers, or other facilities wherever possible, and it shall be the sole responsibility of the company to negotiate and enter into any and all contracts with the owners of such facilities to secure the necessary space thereon or therein for its operation under this chapter. It is the stated intention of the Municipality that the number of new or additional poles constructed by the company under the provisions of this chapter be kept at a minimum, and to the extent necessary to carry out this intention, the company on securing such agreement with other holders of public permits and franchises is granted the right to use existing poles, towers, and other facilities. Except for companies furnishing the same or similar services, the company shall permit any utility or holder of public permits or franchises for the use of streets for the erection of poles and pole line facilities, by appropriate contract or agreement negotiated by the parties, to use any and all facilities constructed or erected in the streets by the company. All the agreements and installations shall be subject to this code and all existing and future regulatory ordinances of the municipality. Plans for all such installations shall be submitted to the Municipal Administrator for his approval, prior to installation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be erected under his supervision.
