§ 27. ERECTION, REMOVAL AND COMMON USE OF POLES.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    No poles shall be erected by the Grantee without prior approval of the City, in so far as the City has the legal authority to do so, with regard to location, height, types and any other pertinent aspect. However, no location of any pole or wire-holding structure of the Grantee shall give rise to a vested interest, and such poles and structures shall be removed or modified by the Grantee at its own expense whenever the City determines that the public convenience would be enhanced thereby.

    (b)

    Where poles already in existence for use in serving the City are available for use by the Grantee, the City may require the Grantee to use such poles and structures, if it determines that the public convenience would be enhanced thereby and the terms of the use available to the Grantee are just and reasonable.

    (c)

    Where a public utility serving the City desires to make use of the poles or other wire-holding structures of the Grantee, but agreement thereof with the Grantee cannot be reached, the City may require the Grantee to permit such use for such consideration and upon such terms as the City shall determine to be just and reasonable, if the City determines that the use would enhance the public convenience and would not unduly interfere with the Grantee's operation.
