A person wishing to construct, install, place, operate, replace, reconstruct, or maintain a private communications system in a public right-of-way must obtain a license therefor. The license shall only authorize placement of the system in a specific portion of the public rights-of-way for a limited and specific purpose in connection with the person's business but not encompassing in whole or in part the carriage of telecommunications for hire in the public rights-of-way, and for a limited period of time. Such application must be in the form provided for by regulation and must be accompanied by a filing fee, as may be fixed by regulation, promulgated from time to time by the city.
(Ord. 1402 § 1(11.05.1), 2001)
Any license shall be subject to such conditions as the city may from time to time establish, shall be expressly subordinate to the use of the public rights-of-way by operators of communications facilities, and shall otherwise conform to the requirements of this title. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of Article IV of Chapter 11.01, FMC 11.01.160 through 11.01.200, shall apply to a private communications system as if it were a communications facility.
(Ord. 1402 § 1(11.05.2), 2001)
The owner of a private communications system shall pay a fee established by the city from time to time to reflect the fair market value of the property used.
(Ord. 1402 § 1(11.05.3), 2001)
