It is unlawful for any person to interfere with, obstruct, change, injure, impair, or remove any pole, post, wire, cable, conduit, box, gong, or other City-owned telecommunications lines and equipment, street lighting, or traffic signal systems except as provided by this Chapter.

It is unlawful for any person to remove, temporarily or otherwise, or to change any part of the wire or cable or any pole or post or any facility belonging to or appertaining to City-owned telecommunications lines, equipment, street lighting, or traffic signal systems without first obtaining a written permit to do so. A person finding it necessary in the pursuit of a lawful purpose to remove, interfere with, or disturb any portion of City-owned telecommunications lines and equipment, street lighting, or traffic signal systems must give, or cause to be given, to the City Administrator a notice in writing, at least two hours before it is necessary to interfere with or disturb any portion of such systems, stating the locality at which, and in the manner in which it will be necessary to remove, interfere with, or disturb the system involved. No notice may be given between the hours of 4 p.m. and 8 a.m. The City may issue a permit for the interference if they find that the interference is necessary, and may restrict the work or the time of the interference. The permit will specify fully the change required and any restrictions. Any person aggrieved by the decision may appeal such decision to the City Administrator. No permit will be required for emergency repairs by a public utility necessitating interference with City system, equipment or apparatus, but the public utility will notify the City as soon as possible and the public utility must make any further changes required by the City.

All work done by or for a permittee under this Chapter must be performed under the supervision of and completed to the satisfaction of the permitting official. All work done under a permit issued pursuant to this Chapter must be at the sole expense of the permittee, and if the City is requested to do such work the fees applicable will be as prescribed in the finance regulations.

1. A. It is unlawful for any person to attach any animal, or to affix or attach any bill, sign, advertisement of any kind, or any contrivance or device of any kind or nature other than City official notices, to any pole, post, wire, cable, fixture or equipment of City-owned telecommunications lines and equipment, street lighting, or traffic signal systems, except as authorized by the City.
2. B. Public utilities operating in the City under franchise or permit may attach their utility wires or cables to poles or posts of City-owned telecommunications lines and equipment, street lighting, or traffic signal systems, to the extent specifically permitted by the City, in such locations as the City may specifically designate, in consideration of reciprocal privileges extended to the City when necessary or convenient for the City to use the poles of the utility in maintaining the City systems.
