[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Columbia
as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 1997 by Ord. No. 1630 (Ch. 12.05 of the 1997 Code)]
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
The amount paid to a telecommunications retailer for the
act or privilege of originating or receiving telecommunications within
the City, and for all services rendered in connection therewith, valued
in money whether paid in money or otherwise, including cash, credits,
services, and property of every kind or nature, and shall be determined
without any deduction on account of the cost of such telecommunications,
the cost of the materials used, labor or service costs, or any other
expense whatsoever. In case credit is extended, the amount thereof
shall be included only as and when paid. Gross charges for private
line service shall include charges imposed at each channel point within
the City, charges for the channel mileage between each channel point
within the City, and charges for that portion of the interstate interoffice
channel provided within the City. However, gross charges shall not
include:
Any amounts added to a purchaser's bill because of a charge
made under:
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
The fee imposed by this article;
Additional charges added to a purchaser's bill under Section
9-221 or 9-222 of the Public Utilities Act (220 ILCS 5/9-221 or 5/9-222);
The tax imposed by the Telecommunications Excise Tax Act (35
ILCS 630/1 et seq.);
911 surcharges; or
The tax imposed by Section 4251 of the Internal Revenue Code;
Charges for a sent collect telecommunication received outside
the City;
Charges for leased time on equipment or charges for the storage
of data or information or subsequent retrieval or the processing of
data or information intended to change its form or content. Such equipment
includes, but is not limited to, the use of calculators, computers,
data processing equipment, tabulating equipment, or accounting equipment
and also includes the usage of computers under a time-sharing agreement;
Charges for customer equipment, including such equipment that
is leased or rented by the customer from any source, wherein such
charges are disaggregated and separately identified from other charges;
Charges to business enterprises certified under Section 9-222.1
of the Public Utilities Act (220 ILCS 5/9-222.1) to the extent of
such exemption and during the period of time specified by the City;
Charges for telecommunications and all services and equipment
provided in connection therewith between a parent corporation and
its wholly owned subsidiaries or between wholly owned subsidiaries,
and only to the extent that the charges between the parent corporation
and wholly owned subsidiaries or between wholly owned subsidiaries
represent expense allocation between the corporations and not the
generation of profit other than a regulatory required profit for the
corporation rendering such services;
Bad debts ("Bad debt" means any portion of a debt that is related
to a sale at retail for which gross charges are not otherwise deductible
or excludable that has become worthless or uncollectible, as determined
under applicable federal income tax standards; if the portion of the
debt deemed to be bad is subsequently paid, the retailer shall report
and pay the tax on that portion during the reporting period in which
the payment is made.);
Charges paid by inserting coins in coin-operated telecommunications
devices; or
Charges for telecommunications and all services and equipment
provided to the City.
Any municipal street, alley, water or public right-of-way
dedicated or commonly used for utility purposes, including utility
easements wherein the City has acquired the right and authority to
locate or permit the location of utilities consistent with telecommunications
facilities. "Public right-of-way" shall not include any real or personal
City property that is not specifically described in the previous sentence
and shall not include City buildings and other structures or improvements,
regardless of whether they are situated in the public right-of-way.
Includes any retailer having or maintaining within the state,
directly or by a subsidiary, an office, distribution facilities, transmission
facilities, sales office, warehouse, or other place of business, or
any agent or other representative operating within this state under
the authority of the retailer or its subsidiary, irrespective of whether
such place of business or agent or other representative is located
here permanently or temporarily, or whether such retailer or subsidiary
is licensed to do business in this state.
The transmitting, supplying, or furnishing of telecommunications
and all services rendered in connection therewith for a consideration,
other than between a parent corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries
or between wholly owned subsidiaries, when the gross charge made by
one such corporation to another such corporation is not greater than
the gross charge paid to the retailer for its use or consumption and
not for sale.
The location of telecommunications equipment from which telecommunications
services are originated or at which telecommunications services are
received. If this is not a defined location, as in the case of wireless
telecommunications, paging systems, maritime systems, air-to-ground
systems, and the like, "service address" shall mean the location of
the customer's primary use of the telecommunications equipment as
defined by the location in Illinois where bills are sent.
Includes, but is not limited to, messages or information
transmitted through use of local, toll, and wide-area telephone service,
channel services, telegraph services, teletypewriter service, computer
exchange services, private line services, specialized mobile radio
services, or any other transmission of messages or information by
electronic or similar means, between or among points by wire, cable,
fiber optics, laser, microwave, radio, satellite, or similar facilities.
Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, telecommunications
shall also include wireless telecommunications as hereinafter defined.
Telecommunications shall not include value-added services in which
computer processing applications are used to act on the form, content,
code, and protocol of the information for purposes other than transmission.
Telecommunications shall not include purchase of telecommunications
by a telecommunications service provider for use as a component part
of the service provided by him or her to the ultimate retail consumer
who originates or terminates the end-to-end communications. Retailer
access charges, right-of-access charges, charges for use of intercompany
facilities, and all telecommunications resold in the subsequent provision
and used as a component of, or integrated into, end-to-end telecommunications
service shall not be included in gross charges as sales for resale.
Telecommunications shall not include the provision of cable services
through a cable system as defined in the Cable Communications Act
of 1984 (47 U.S.C. § 521 et seq.), as now or hereafter amended,
or cable or other programming services subject to an open video system
fee payable to the City through an open video system as defined in
the Rules of the Federal Communications Commission (47 CFR 76.1550
et seq.), as now or hereafter amended.
Includes every person engaged in the business of making sales
of telecommunications at retail as defined in this section. The City
may, in its discretion, upon application, authorize the collection
of the fee hereby imposed by any retailer not maintaining a place
of business within this state, who, to the satisfaction of the City,
furnishes adequate security to ensure collection and payment of the
fee. When so authorized, it shall be the duty of such retailer to
pay the fee upon all of the gross charges for telecommunications in
the same manner and subject to the same requirements as a retailer
maintaining a place of business within the City.
Includes cellular mobile telephone services, personal wireless
services as defined in Section 704(C) of the Telecommunications Act
of 1996 (Public Law No. 104-104), 42 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7),
as now or hereafter amended, including all commercial mobile radio
services, and paging services.
A.
Every telecommunications provider as defined by this article shall register with the City within 30 days after the effective date of this article or becoming a telecommunications provider, whichever is later, on a form to be provided by the City; provided, however, that any telecommunications retailer that has filed a return pursuant to § 165-1.4C of this article shall be deemed to have registered in accordance with this section.
B.
Every telecommunications provider who has registered with the City pursuant to Subsection A has an affirmative duty to submit an amended registration form or current return as required by § 165-1.4C, as the case may be, to the City within 30 days from the date of the occurrence of any changes in the information provided by the telecommunications provider in the registration form or most recent return on file with the City.
A.
A City telecommunications infrastructure maintenance fee is imposed
upon all telecommunications retailers in the amount of 1% of all gross
charges charged by the telecommunications retailer to service addresses
within the City for telecommunications originating or received in
the City.
B.
Upon the effective date of the infrastructure maintenance fee authorized
in this article, the City infrastructure maintenance fee authorized
hereunder shall be the only fee or compensation for the use of all
public rights-of-way within the City by telecommunications retailers.
Imposition of the infrastructure maintenance fee provided under this
article does not, however, serve as a limitation on the levying of
any taxes or imposition of any fees otherwise authorized by law.
A.
A telecommunications retailer shall charge to and collect from each
customer an additional charge in an amount equal to the City infrastructure
maintenance fee attributable to that customer's service address.
B.
Unless otherwise approved by the City Council, the infrastructure
maintenance fee shall be remitted by the telecommunications retailer
to the City not later than the last day of the month subsequent to
the month in which a bill is issued to the customer; provided, however,
that the telecommunications retailer may retain an amount not to exceed
2% of the City infrastructure maintenance fee collected by it to reimburse
itself for expenses incurred in accounting for and remitting the fee.
C.
Remittance of the municipal infrastructure fee to the City shall
be accompanied by a return, in a form to be prescribed by the City
Council, which shall contain such information as the City Council
may reasonably require.
D.
Any infrastructure maintenance fee required to be collected pursuant to this article and any such infrastructure maintenance fee collected by such telecommunications retailer shall constitute a debt owed by the telecommunications retailer to the City. The charge imposed under Subsection A by the telecommunications retailer pursuant to this article shall constitute a debt of the purchaser to the telecommunications retailer who provides such services until paid and, if unpaid, is recoverable at law in the same manner as the original charge for such services.
E.
If it shall appear that an amount of infrastructure maintenance fee
has been paid that was not due under the provisions of this article,
whether as a result of a mistake of fact or an error of law, then
such amount shall be credited against any infrastructure maintenance
fee due, or to become due, under this article, from the telecommunications
retailer who made the erroneous payment; provided, however, the City
Council may request, and the telecommunications retailer shall provide,
written substantiation for such credit. However, no claim for such
credit may be made more than three years after the date of the erroneous
payment unless: 1) the credit is used only to offset a claim of underpayment
made by the City within the applicable statutory period of limitations,
and 2) the credit derives from an overpayment made by the same telecommunications
retailer during the applicable statutory period of limitations.
F.
Amounts paid under this article by telecommunications retailers shall
not be included in the tax base under any of the following acts as
described immediately below:
(1)
"Gross charges" for purposes of the Telecommunications Excise
Tax Act (35 ILCS 630/1 et seq.);
(2)
"Gross receipts" for purposes of the municipal utility tax as
prescribed in Section 8-11-2 of the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS
5/8-11-2);
(3)
"Gross charges" for purposes of the municipal telecommunications
tax as prescribed in Section 8-11-17 of the Illinois Municipal Code
(65 ILCS 5/8-11-17);
(4)
"Gross revenue" for purposes of the tax on annual gross revenue
of public utilities prescribed in Section 2-202 of the Public Utilities
Act (220 ILCS 5/2-202).
G.
The City shall have the right, in its discretion, to audit the books
and records of all telecommunications retailers subject to this article
to determine whether the telecommunications retailer has properly
accounted to the City for the City infrastructure maintenance fee.
Any underpayment of the amount of the City infrastructure maintenance
fee due to the City by the telecommunications retailer shall be paid
to the City plus 5% of the total amount of the underpayment determined
in an audit, plus any costs incurred by the City in conducting the
audit, in an amount not to exceed 5% of the total amount of the underpayment
determined in an audit. Such sum shall be paid to the City within
21 days after the date of issuance of an invoice for same.
H.
The City Council, or its designee, may promulgate such further or additional regulations concerning the administration and enforcement of this article, consistent with its provisions, as may be required from time to time and shall notify all telecommunications retailers that are registered pursuant to § 165-1.2 of this article.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Nothing in this article shall excuse any person or entity from
obligations imposed under any law, including, but not limited to:
A.
Generally applicable taxes; and
B.
Standards for construction on, over, under, or within, use of or
repair of the public rights-of-way, including standards relating to
freestanding towers and other structures upon the public rights-of-way,
as provided; and
C.
Any liability imposed for the failure to comply with such generally
applicable taxes or standards governing construction on, over, under,
or within, use of or repair of the public rights-of-way; and
D.
Compliance with any ordinance or provision of this code concerning
uses or structures not located on, over, or within the right-of-way.
Any franchise, license, or similar agreements between telecommunications
retailers and the City entered into before the effective date of this
article regarding the use of public rights-of-way shall remain valid
according to and for their stated terms except for any fees, charges
or other compensation to the extent waived.
Nothing in this article shall be construed as limiting any additional
or further remedies that the City may have for enforcement of this
article.
This article supersedes all chapters or parts of chapters adopted
prior hereto which are in conflict herewith, to the extent of such
conflict.

A.
Any person, corporation, trust, unincorporated association, or other party who or which fails to pay any service charge or business license fee when due under this Chapter 165, Article II, of the Columbia Municipal Code shall be subject to one or more of the following penalties:
(1)
Late payment of City service charges or business license fees
shall be subject to payment of a delinquency charge (also known as
a "late payment penalty") of 1% of the amount of the delinquent payment
due for each month (or part thereof) the late payment is overdue and
owing.
(2)
The violator shall be subject to civil suit by the City in a
court of competent jurisdiction to collect the service charge and/or
business license fee due, plus any late payment penalty due.
(3)
The violator shall be guilty of an ordinance violation and upon
conviction shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than the maximum
fine authorized by Section 1-2-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code, as
amended (65 ILCS 5/1-2-1), which maximum fine on the date hereof is
$750. Each day for which a delinquency in payment exists shall be
a separate offense for which a separate and additional fine may be
assessed upon conviction.
(4)
Following any such delinquency in payment, the City may decline to perform any City services or issue any business license for which a charge is to be assessed under Chapter 165, Article II, of the City's Municipal Code until all delinquent license fees and/or service charges and late payment penalties due from the violator have been fully paid and satisfied (except where prohibited by law, such as disconnection of water service prior to compliance with prior notice and other state law requirements pertaining thereto).
B.
The penalties provided for in this § 165-2.31 of the City's
Municipal Code shall be cumulative and shall not be exclusive of one
another.
