A. Consent To Erect Poles: No franchise shall be deemed to expressly or impliedly authorize the grantee to construct or install poles or wire-holding structures within streets for the purpose of placing cables, wires, lines or otherwise without the written consent of the grantor. Such consent shall be given upon such terms and conditions as the City Engineer may prescribe, which shall include a requirement that the grantee perform, at its sole expense, all tree trimmings required to maintain the poles clear of obstructions.
B. Access To Poles: With respect to any poles or wire-holding structures which a grantee is authorized to construct and install within streets, a public utility serving the grantor may, if denied the privilege of utilizing such poles or wire-holding structures by the grantee, apply for such permission to the City Engineer. If the City Engineer finds that such use would enhance the public convenience and would not unduly interfere with the grantee's operations, the City Engineer may authorize such use subject to such terms and conditions as the City Engineer deems appropriate. Such authorization shall include the condition that the public utility pay to the grantee any and all actual and necessary costs incurred by the grantee in permitting such use. Nothing herein shall be construed as a right for the grantee to utilize public utility property. (Ord. 3-95, 3-21-1995)
