[Ord. No. 3-2016 § I, 9-6-2016]
A. 
In furtherance of any cable media provider's execution of contracts with public utility companies or any other owner or lessee of any poles located within or without the City to whatever extent such contract or contracts may be expedient and of advantage to the company for use of poles and posts necessary for proper installation of the system, the company may obtain right-of-way permits from appropriate State, County and Federal officials necessary to cross highways or roads under their respective jurisdictions, to supply main trunk lines from the company's receiving antennas, obtain permission from the Federal Aviation Authority to erect and maintain antennas suitable to the needs of the system and its subscribers and obtain whatever other permits a City, County, State or Federal agency may require. The company shall construct its cable system using material of good and durable quality and all work involved in the construction, installation, maintenance and repair of the cable system shall be performed in a safe, thorough and reliable manner. Any municipal property damaged or destroyed shall be promptly repaired or replaced by the company and restored to serviceable condition.
B. 
The company's system, poles, wires and appurtenances shall be located, erected and maintained so that none of its facilities shall endanger or interfere with the lives of persons or interfere with any improvements the City may deem proper to make or unnecessarily hinder or obstruct the free use of the streets, alleys, bridges, easements or public property. No service line, whether or not energized, will be allowed to rest upon, or otherwise contact the ground or vegetation for more than seventy-two (72) hours. An extension of said period may be obtained from the City Building Inspector for good cause shown.
C. 
In the event that the City annexes further territory as authorized by the law, the company shall extend energized trunk cable to the remaining portions of the City so annexed within an acceptable time thereafter, unless additional time is granted by the Council upon request of the company for good cause shown. Extension of service shall not be one of the requirements as set forth in this Section.
D. 
All transmission and distribution structures, lines and equipment erected by the company within the City shall be so located as to cause minimum interference with the proper use of streets, alleys and other public ways and places, and to cause minimum interference with the rights of reasonable convenience of property owners who adjoin any of the said streets, alleys or other public ways and places. In the event the electrical and phone lines are buried to the subscriber's residence, the company shall be required to bury the cable also.
E. 
In case of any disturbance of pavement, sidewalk, driveway, grass or other surfacing, the company shall, at its own cost and expense and in a manner approved by the City, replace and restore all paving, sidewalk, driveway, grass, shrubs, trees, fences or surface of any street or alley or other public or private property in as good condition as before said work was commenced.
F. 
In the event that at any time during the period of the franchise the City lawfully elects to alter or change the grade of any street, alley or other public way, the company, upon reasonable notice by the City, shall remove, relay or relocate its poles, wires, cables, underground conduits, manholes and other fixtures at its own expense.
G. 
The company shall not place poles or other fixtures where the same will interfere with any gas, electric or telephone fixtures, water hydrants or mains and all such poles or other fixtures placed in any street shall be placed at the outer edge of the sidewalk and inside the curb line, and those placed in alleys shall be placed close to the line of the lot abutting on said alley, and then in such manner as not to interfere with the usual travel on said streets, alleys and public ways.
H. 
The company shall, on the request of any person holding a building moving permit issued by the City, temporarily raise or lower its wires to permit the moving of buildings. The expense of such temporary removal, raising or lowering of wires shall be paid by the person requesting the same, and the company shall have the authority to require such payment in advance. The company shall be given no less than forty-eight (48) hours' advance notice to arrange for such temporary wire changes.
I. 
The company shall have the authority to trim trees upon and overhanging streets, alleys, sidewalks and public places of the City so as to prevent the branches of such trees from coming in contact with the wires and cables. All tree trimming is to be done under the direction of the City and at the expense of the company.
J. 
The company shall provide, upon request and without charge, service to any municipal buildings owned and operated by the City and to any public or parochial elementary or secondary school. This shall mean only an energized cable to such building. The cost of any internal wiring shall be borne by the institution.
